Re: [Montreal (QC), Canada] 1st North American Riichi Open
Registrations are proceeding, maybe at a slightly slower pace than originally anticipated, but still definitely good. I have had some American players ask me about coming. I'm posting this as a quick reminder: American participants who want to come do need to have a passport (or a WHTI-compliant EDL...

Re: Our first tournament - questions.
The 10-7-4-1 TP plus one-ten-thousandth of score is a virtual 15-45 uma. EDIT: Scoring on paper during the game serves no benefit to any of the players present. If you do not have tenbou, please resort to poker chips (5x5k red, 3x1k blue, 3x500 black, 5x100 white for 30000) or something... all scori...

Re: game flaw or another optional rule?
The difference between the last characters in both contexts is font-related. In English, there is the Roman-styled "a" (current forum fonts have this), and the ball-and-stick "a" that most people write, usually with a bit of artistic freedom involving closing the roundish balloon then pulling the st...

Re: A few simple questions, maybe
Which is why if I would do something wrong, I would tell you about it honestly, exposing proper insight into the decision-making process rather than BS you with "Senechal knows best"-type answers. If the goal is to rationalize specific situations to a general rule enabling you to discard within 3 se...

Re: A few simple questions, maybe
http://tenhou.net/2/?q=567m233778p45699s As for your feedback for #1, your hand has everything connected and "able to be used". Or 6 potential taatsu and other incomplete groups (protogroups). For everything in pin and sou, you are one tile from solidifying two groups, although if you get 2p/6p, the...

Re: A few simple questions, maybe
1: Without having the Tenhou calculator at my disposal, it would be either the 4m or 7s. The Tenhou calculator does confirm 4s as being better than any other choice, but 3s or 6s are better than 7s. What you can't do is drop 5m or any pin tiles. By remembering that every winning hand has only one ex...

Re: severely in need of an english translation!
Oya-nagareru = deal flows out. Oya-nagasu* = deal made to flow out. Mukoubuchi has a story involving Kai refusing* renchans as a way to guarantee scoring second in 10 games, in its usual binta-loaded tonpuusen matches. But then he refuses them again in another 10 and gets first. Standard storyline f...

Re: Question about ryan peikou
Iisou sanjun is a fantasy yaku that only exists in 1P computer games nowadays.
Yes, you can have ryanpeikou and chinitsu, and you can have 4 of the same tile, because your hand has 4 runs and a pair, not "7 different pairs".

Darn, it's uglier than I thought then.
When it comes to exotic variants, Barticle's word trumps all.

Re: Kazoe Yakuman
To be honest, I have no clue if it counts if someone discards it for a ron win. You would have to ask someone who has actually used them to clarify that, if necessary.
All I know is that it isn't linked to ippatsu, three turns later, the wild card still works.

Re: Kazoe Yakuman
Haku-pocchi is after riichi, as a self-pick. Ippatsu is an added bonus.

Re: Tenhou Login "Problem"
Create a new one and hope it isn't taken between now and then. I had access to "mittens", an account that was made, got banned in 48 hours after a 400-0-0-0 record (R3083, did it make it Tenhoui? I don't remember)... after it fell into inactivity, someone else grabbed it, and then fell inactive again.

Those IDs remain active as long as they are used more than once every 6 months. You might send youself an e-mail to keep a reference of it, or put it in a browser bookmark (don't do just that, I had to delete my browser once)... but with 3.15 million IDs in use (projection, 3.00 million this July), ...

Re: Am I in furiten in this situation?
The french term "espérance (de gains)" translates to "expected value" in English. Poker players use it all the time to comment plays as being +EV, or -EV. Having a 3-way, 4-way or more complex wait with sufficient outs, while partially restricted by furiten, remains +EV. I'd usually draw the line at...
