I used the wrong word there. A tanki wait is 2 fu. A guest wind pair is 0 fu. A dragon or paying wind pair is 2 fu. A double wind pair is 4 fu. A double wind tanki agari is therefore a total of 6 fu. Man, counting fu is hard.

Hi there. I saw the link in Shirluban's sig comparing different rulesets, and I thought about doing this. I know that for many around here they play mostly online / computer game / app and thus you have to adapt, but if one could teach new players the rules (and you're only concerned about the play-...

The vegan police! I thought about that when I read the message about Mahjong police! Great minds think alike!

はい、結構です。

And you say you had the pair in hand? Good for you.

I don't recognize this yakuman (based on my "no easy escapes / no rewards for a bad hand" principle), so I can't help you much. (That's why I dislike most abortive draws too).

You draw from the end that is farther away from the live wall, ie, the one closest to the dora indicator. When you replace a tile from the live wall (Players are used to it and they don't physically move tiles around, but it's a good thing as you are learning) you have to add the bottom tile (the la...

Not Kodomo. Hmm, that reminds me that I haven't seen season 2... You mean Saki Achiga-hen, right? It's a spinoff series with 16 episodes full of story and less mahjong until you hit 8th or 10th episode... I liked it. The designs and color are closer to the manga than the first season. Did you see S...

Not Kodomo. Hmm, that reminds me that I haven't seen season 2...

Everyone is paying you, therefore tsumo. Wouldn't have called riichi, especially with two already called, I wouldn't want to risk a quadruple riichi. About 9-terminals, I never call a tie out of principle. I think this rule doesn't belong in this game. It's discriminating a certain hand over others ...

Ah, more like a deposit, then.

For the second picture:
- Renchan condition: TENPAI / win
- Agari Yame YES / no
- Ryanhan Shibari YES / no
- Kuikae yes / NO
- Furuoppun on / OFF

I'm not sure what the last one is.

I'm under the impression that you would get the 2 fu only after an ankan, or a chain that is started with an ankan. But I don't know, it seems to be yet another "Roll-your-own-rules" point. When Koromo (not a Kodomo) discards 1p and Saki goes Kan! Kan! Kan! Tsumo! Koromo pays for the full hand. (In ...

And a win only because of South's riichi stick.

Well, yes. The thing is that any hand with six or more han gets another rank that supersedes mangan, but you are guaranteed to be over 2000 points. 6 han pinfu: 20 * 2 ^ (6+2) = 20 * 256 = 5120 = 5200. (Also with 5 hand you would get 2600, which is over the limit). If you use a chart to settle score...

So close to a rare yakuman (best hands possible), though. Shame you discarded that and the earlier.
