Question about Tenhou
Hello, I am not sure it is appropriate to ask such questions here but yesterday I stumbled on something I had never seen before (at least, assuming my memory is working correctly).
I couldn't find any info about it when I looked at 'Lobbies and Games' section of Tenhou Documentation website; can anyone enlighten me on what function this tab serves?

Re: Question about Tenhou
Alvin's documentation on Tenhou was made before this was implemented, so no wonder you can't find it. Gotta catch him on IRC and tell him to update that.
That "new" tab is for the Beta of "Parlor Mode" (Jansou-sen). Anyone can play. The ranking is different from the standard ranking games. It's not based on placement, but on how much you win when you win. Also, there are special rules (corresponding to mahjong parlors in Japan) like "chips" for having red dora, ippatsu, ura dora, etc, 1500 points for every honba (instead of just 300) and East/West round (i.e. East round also counts as West round). And a few other rules that will show up when you put the mouse on top of the 予約 (queue) button. If you have no idea what to do there, don't bother, just keep playing regular tenhou. There rarely is anyone to play jansou-sen with.
A better explanation on this at my post: http://www.osamuko.com/2010/10/18/how-t ... nsou-mode/

Re: Question about Tenhou
Thank you! Looks like I probably won't have much to do with it then.
