Your "mangaistic" mahjong situations
Posted: Thu Jan 22, 2009 10:42 am
I\'m always having these situations when I can imagine that this would have been a great manga when playing mahjong, do you have a story? tell it here!
For example my most recent moment of this when i was playing on mahjongtimes RCR Freeroll, which had 2 rounds, winner based on tournament points and score in each table (1st: 4pt, 2nd: 2pt, 3rd: 1pt, 4th: 0pt). I aced the first table and got 4 points, and I knew I had to get the victory on the 2nd table in order to get prizes. This is where it started, I got a decent mangan hand, then it was downhill, one player just kept on winning and making the distance between me and him. I was 8000 points behind, when I got a starting hand which could be a mangan, I get it to tempai and reach, bang, this guy wins again, making me somewhat 10k behind.
After that, there was only 7 minutes of time left in the game, the last hand thx to slow speed client.. And what i get to my starting hand? Dora pair, two red fives, and two white dragons, and rest of it wass a total mess. Time was of an essence now, for my luck the players had disconnected so bots were making auto passes, my hand constructed a sluggish pace, and I made it to concealed tempai in the last minutes, but the hand value was only the two dora, 2 red fives, and riichi. That wasn\'t enough, if I was to make it to the first place, I\'d have to get a direct hit to leader, or tsumo, or ippatsu, or uradora. At this point there were 2 minutes playtime left. It felt like forever when the ippatsu didn\'t come, or I didn\'t draw it myself.. Then my winning tile appeared on the board, but not by the leader, there was 30 seconds of time left, and i wished for the uradora to hit, and blam! there it was, hand value Riichi Dora 5, haneman, and it gave me 1st place in the table.
Unfortunately I still made it only 2nd in overall thx to crappy score but hey, $175 is still a nice sum ;)
