Re:ronron scoring != ELO

ok, I translated the rating FAQ try this out while you\'re playing Q: How does the rating system work? A: Ratings rise and drop according to results of your games and mark your mahjong level. This index starts to show after 20 games played anywhere but the Free Battle room. Until then it will show a...

Re:A (mostly) early history of mahjong video

I personally prefer the history in Tom\'s book (The Red Dragon and the West Wind). I think the rice guards theory is a bit far-fetched :S I know that the \"gambling\" aspect is controversial and especially with CO rules, but maybe that\'s one reason that I\'ve been so turned off to the CO rules. Alt...

Re:Expert Technique Mahjong: Cheating

Takeo Kojima, the year I was born! He is known as \"Mr. Mahjong\" and I think he was the first one to \"out\" cheating methods on TV. Hey Ben, do you know if that is right? Enjoy! This is his version Tsubame-gaeshi (return the sparrow?), one of the ones shown in the Tetsuya video. [video]http://www....

Re:Expert Technique Mahjong: Cheating

One of the JPML A-Leaguers, Yuko Ito trained with janki and followed the \"no honors on the first discard\" rule for years. Konno and I just found last week on the Ron2 blog that he proclaimed that from now on he will discard an honor tile even the first discard if necessary! Just a funny little sto...

Re:History of Mahjong: Cheating

The rules depend on the league. It is true that in JPML the A-Rules (used for Pro League, Women\'s League, OUI Tournament, 10-Tier Tournament and Champion\'s League) do not allow Ura-dora, Kan-dora or Ippatsu. They also DO allow kuitan. However, in SNPM and NPM tournaments and JPML B-Rules they do u...

Thanks for the call to action Ben! Fairy is a non-smoking parlor in Shinjuku run by Yoko Watanabe and our good friend Katayama-sensei (the writer of Miiko) also can be found there from time-to-time. They have .5 rate there and it\'s right below babii, one of the biggest casino-style parlors in Tokyo...

Re:mahjong songs

The title intro is called \"Mahjong Blues\" and you can find it on itunes. The last one is called \"Mahjong fight club\" and it\'s by a japanese group called che\'ron. It\'s not a very popular song among pro\'s because it\'s quite cliche and maybe considered a bit dorky, but I can\'t help but love i...
