Just added a Kazoe Yakuman (Counted Yakuman) yesterday evening with a total of 14 Fan, with 9 Fan on that coming from Dora or Red Fives.

The Seven Pairs hand variant of the Tsuu Ii Sou is called Big Seven Stars in Japanese.

There are some players, especially when they are ready, who actually "braille" a tile to see if it is the tile they need to go out. "Brailling" is feeling a tile's texture to figure out what it is before looking at it. Is this pretty much a tradition in any form of MJ, except that I've only seen thi...

I posted my most recent Yakuman hand on this forum a couple of nights ago, and if there was a particular Pao rule in force, the person who gave me all four of the triplets would have been forced to pay the entire 64k, because I self drew the last honor tile needed. The dealer went broke (rather unfa...

I encountered this the other day in Janryumon, and it basically is a combination of a Nobetan and a Ryanmenten , which is a five sided wait. I had the following: 4-crak 4-crak 4-crak 5-crak 6-crak 7-crak 8-crak ... Waiting for the 3-crak 5-crak 6-crak 8-crak 9-crak (which means waiting for 1 of 17 p...

Well just in the last few minutes on Janryumon, I just hit a Double Yakuman with All Honors AND Minor Four Winds in the same hand, drawing the very last :east tile to make the hand.

Anyone really active in the "marksman" promotion? I now have 20 out of the 29 point combinations needed - I have already received the following... 5 Extra "wait 10 second" markers 5 more replay tokens (normally costs Kaimo) I now am awaiting my reward for hitting 20 combinations... Marksman promotio...

Prior to Sloper's Shanghai Dynasty, I always remembered that Dai Suu Shii was awarded One Yakuman - the original Yakuman GB game gave it just One Yakuman.

I wonder when that got changed so that it gets awarded Two Yakuman? (Or more in general when multiple Yakuman was started to be established)

Can someone who actually has access to that page who knows the full details of the promotion please translate it, since I have an idea of some of them using the not so perfect Google Translator service... Apparently there is a 29th mark which needs to be hit as a non-dealer, with the 28 marks being ...

Just made a Yakuman as dealer on Janryumon in the last fifteen minutes, and yes, another Kokushi Musou, this time waiting for a 1-bam as the last tile needed. 48k win - and person who fed me that went bankrupt. 2nd Yakuman ever on site and 2nd Kokushi Musou. New video uploaded with better sound... Y...

Actually I am using an USA-based Internet provider and I can still access the site, provided that it doesn't assign me one particular IP range (it assigns me three different ones, as far as I know).

There is a promotion at Janryumon which started within the last 24 hours and will run until June 28... It's some "marksman" type promotion, where you try to get certain fu/han combinations, with prizes for hitting certain milestones... I don't know all of it, as the entire page is in Japanese... Not...

OK, in this case: http://tenhou.net/0/?log=2011052507gm-0009-0000-d38e44bd&tw=0&ts=15 I've put it from my point of view, game was already going badly. And then that happened. Ouch, a kick in the teeth, a counted yakuman, only due to the virtue of the dora and winning with a supplement tile - otherw...

It was bound to happen and it did - I actually fed a Yakuman hand about 10 hours after I had made a Yakuman hand at Janryumon.

And it was the same one, Kokushi Musuo, but this time it was the that I fed to the winner. Needless to say, that put me bankrupt.

Oh well.

Well, on my 41st game in Janryumon and my third game at the advanced tables (I am still at 6 kyu)... I made my first ever Yakuman on Janryumon, a Kokushi Musou waiting on the final :north tile. I did have the option to call a misdeal, but didn't, even though :north was turned up on the wall and anot...
