dragon: http://www.osamuko.com/2009/04/03/big-list-of-japanese-mahjong-terminology/ that should help. Barticle: fuhoutou, or whatever it is. I think it\'s \"not playing into.\" As in not having an opponent call ron on a discard of yours. So, it is counting how many consecutive hands you\'ve gone w/o...

Best guess is how many fan it takes to hit mangan at those levels of fu.
Because:
20,30 -- 5 fan.
40-60 -- 4 fan.
70+ -- 3 fan.

Totally was not intending to rhyme, awesome side effect!

Hmmn, you\'re right, a hand needs to be 4 sets and a pair. 3 sets of 4 and a pair doesnt work <<;.

Oh, True it is in the comic. 2ko! <niko> :D!

#6, If it\'s funny, that\'s the point XD. Rough translations of 2-6: 2)Determining Dora; tile-splosion. 3)You can call another\'s Discard to claim it; Nya~ 4)By calling a discarded tile, you receive it; Omn nom nom. 5)First, Let\'s remember tile types/suits. (Wants a Bamboo); Discards the 1s thinkin...

Yeah, \"Failed to connect to update server\"

is what that says.

curiosity, does jpn text work now?

nnnnnnnnnnope -__-;. *sigh*

hahah, I recognize that cartoon, there are 3 other panels too. I think i first saw it as someone\'s Twitter background.

but... the DSi IS out in America <<;. (checks your location) ... oops.

(checks amazon.co.uk) ... <_<;. so... why don\'t you have a DSi? looks released to me. *shrugs*.

...waaaait. \"larger\" ... OH! You mean like this:Nintendo DSi LL ?

You\'d be surprised how frequently this comes up in 3p on Tenhou. Thus, my advice is from the 3p angle. When you have a hand with 9+ unique terminals, odds are, you dont stand much of a shot at making hands besides chin-rou-tou(all terminals), hon-rou-tou(terminals w/ honors), or Kokushi. and it\'s ...

I feel compelled to admit that I had seen Mahjong in NANA and xxxHolic before Saki convinced me to pick up the game. And I still think finding a set like Yasu\'s would be awesome. A nice travel set in a nice wood case would be epic~~.

*Checked the page history*, heh, awesome. ... it\'s far too easy to get lost for hours on that site <<;.

Saki .... I must sadly admit. <3 for all the characters who have solid play (Kajiki, Fukuji, Nodoka, Hisa (when she doesnt go on a hell wait tear)). and a rofl at all the gimmick freaks >P. tenhou.net is a great free place to play. I\'ve been on tenhou since September. Acquired a JPN tile set around...

I find this place to be a bit easier to begin understanding scoring:

or at least, I prefer how it has sorted the yaku.
The Toudai-Shiki site is better at incorporating the Japanese name for the yaku.

Hope these help :D.

does anyone else find that photo mildly creepy? If those are your hands beneath the table, whose hands are taking the photo <<;;..... I\'ve made a Kazoe and a DaiSanGen in 3p Tenhou. The Kazoe was sweet, Guy across from me had reached waiting on 7p. I Kan\'d 7p (and could\'ve had SuuAnKou had I tsum...

Don\'t forget the actual case, the 4 open boxes each suit sits in, the scoring tiles, etc etc :P.
