Re: Asking special seven pair??

The second and third, are invalid hands, A set of four cannot be considered two pairs. So, Neither.

The first however, is TsuIiSou; All honors: Yakuman.

Re: ryan peikou = chii toitsu????? can anyone explain?

Thanks Burke, Ghost Dragon: Also..... nvmd Burke did a great job of finding a thread where I make the comment and avoiding another one where everything sorta went to hell in a handbasket. *sigh* Overall, Mr. Sloper has the simplest explanation separating the two, The normal hand shape is 4 melds of ...

Re: No wriggy snake in yakuman list???

You have a half flush (moderate difficulty), almost a straight (moderately easy difficulty), and crap in winds (worth nothing and not terribly difficult). For one, the hand appears much easier to aim for than most other yakuman. For two, the hand is not a legitimate riichi shape, 4 melds of 3 tiles ...

re: ... I forget <<;.

Blgh, blub bwuh, augh, what a data dump. It's great, but the giant numbers make it hard to decipher, may I suggest listing each Yaku as a percentage of the total number of combinations? Or giving each ruleset it's own table? :/.... Mostly I'm going from experience of what I know tends to show up, vs...

Re: Riichi quick reference guide

Frequency! Brilliant! *moves to add that to his Yaku List*

Hmmn, I'll probably have five categories : Always, Situational; Uncommon, Rare, Never.
Hunh, 2 groups, always vs sitational and Common, Uncommon, Rare, Never. *Can we tell I'm still in brainstorming mode?* ^^;.

Re: Players' placement - Seating at the table

The anime Saki disagrees. I, too, blame Saki. Shuffle the winds, have people pick, reorganize around east, start from there or throw dice twice to determine true east, Play. For my group of friends, with whom I struggle to get to play Mahjong at all, Bridge and Spades are the preferred. The faster ...

Re: How to explain the yaku

If you mean a bunch of Yaku that can potentially be called the same Yaku, no. I think Yakupai splitting up into dragons and winds is the only instance of that.

Re: Let's Start Again

Referee: Yeah I got ya, but it looks like you have Suupeikou the way you've counted it ;P. *shrugs* That's my main issue with counting it like that. It's okay to learn it that way (1-han for each Iipeikou, and a bonus 1-han for having a total Ryanpeikou) But in the long run I see it better to recogn...

Re: Let's Start Again

Honroutou and Chanta do not stack. As one allows runs/sequences, while the other is entirely sets. As it is named, Ryanpeikou is quite literally 2 Iipeikou (ii, ryan, san, suu, uu, ryuu, chii, paa, chuu) So I see it a little silly to count the individual Iipeikou when the name of the yaku has alread...

Re: Where to Get Mah Jong Mats

For my first mahjong mat, I went with felt, but it's started to pell and the walls never sat very well on the thick felt. The best advantage of it is a wide cord sewn in to provide it's own boundaries. Useful for organizing your tiles, but i'm thinking it's time for a new mat. Problem is finding wor...

Re: Reading discards?

Also playing the mini game on Saki's website, I came across these discards: The situation is East 2, dora is the 8 of dots. I am East, but we'll look at South's discards first: :north white-dra green-dra 8-crak 1-bam 1-crak 3-crak * 9-bam * (Reach) 3-dot 6-bam 4-bam 1-dot 2-bam 2-crak The Green Drag...

Well, he's restricted to having a yaku worth at least 1-han, but that's a bit of a tangent ^_^;;.

Re: My hand of the week

"Anime Music Persona" Search for it at firefox's persona database. 8k is still better than losing 1~3k on being non-tempai, and the risk of tossing all sorts of simples out weighs the thought of keeping all the honors/terminals, and I only had 2 full sets in my discards, you need 4 melds to go out, ...
