You are of course right. When I was denied to go out I was too surprised about that and didn\'t think about taking a screen :( In fact the first thing I thought was \"The hand should be concealed\", not that it was a game bug. It was only when I actually discovered that the Itsu didn\'t need to be c...

Oh, wait a second, now I remembered a detail... It\'s true that I had a couple of 8 pins but I got the second one AFTER having to pass on the 9 pin and I discarded it right away... So the real question remains, why wasn\'t I able to claim the 9 pin? I\'m absolutely positive I wasn\'t in Furiten beca...

Unfortunately i remember clearly the 8 pin couple; I also couldn\'t be furiten because I was keeping pins since the beginning (I was aiming for an itsu + full flush at the beginning but then got the cracks while discarding the honors and the trash) and neither temporary furiten because it was the fi...

Ok, this is embarassing to admit but since you are obviously right I can only assume I THOUGHT I had that hand while I was instead missing a tile...

Maybe I counted twice the 6 pin, thinking i had both the 6 and the 7 :S

:unsure: :unsure: :unsure:

Hi guys, Today I was playing a bit on Mahjong Time when I was able to get this hand: (concealed) 4-crak 4-crak 7-crak 8-crak 9-crak 4-dot red-dot 6-dot 7-dot 8-dot 8-dot (exposed) 1-dot 2-dot 3-dot NOTE: I\'m not sure if the 5 pin was actually red or not but I\'ts not so important. I thought I could...

Ooops, forgot to subscribe to the thread :S Sorry for that. Anyway, thanks for the scoring, I did close the window by mistake that day so I couldn\'t see how many points I got back then but I recall seeing something like that. Ah, actually I went out on the Xia discard, I was waiting for the 3 Pin a...

Well, as Tom said, since the kan-dora is in effect immediately after a kan is made, I suppose I would flip it as soon as i laid down my kan-tiles... I actually never thought there was a question there. I believe it\'s normal to see if you get more dora tiles immediately after declaring the kan or pi...

Hi everyone, as I stated in another thread I\'m still a bit bad at scoring, can someone give me the detailed scoring of this MJ I finally did on Mahjong Time after a long losing streak? I was West, I went out on East (dealer) discard: 1-dot 2-dot 3-dot 4-dot 4-dot 4-dot 4-dot 7-dot 8-dot 9-dot :west...

Though I did get me a chii toitsu, dora ni, tanyao, menzen tsumo baiman as a dealer. Man, I feel like Yuuki... I\'m so bad at scoring :S I can\'t sum up to the baiman, can someone help me there? I got: Chii Toitsu = 2 yaku Dora Dora = 2 fan Tanyao = 1 yaku Menzen Tsumo = 1 yaku for a total of 6 fan...

Thisismich: You are missing serveral key things, including the deeper point of furiten. It enables you to read your opponent\'s hands because it dictates that you need to keep/discard tiles according to a certain logic, which in turn is reflected in the discard pool. Without this it would completel...

Thank you guys for your suggestions, I\'ll surely try those on in the weeks to come.

Du you know of any english guides for those sites?

Thanks again.

You certainly have noticed that throwing someone\'s winning tile make you loose a lot of points, a very big lot of points. It\'s why defense is important in reach mahjong. I know that and, as I said, I totally understand it. I use defensive play in many games and this is why I totally support the t...

Hi everyone, I\'d like to know your feelings towards the furiten rule. I mean, I keep being told (and read) that the furiten rule has been introduced to ensure fair play and It\'s not fair to discard a tile and then claim that same tile to win in the end. Well, I don\'t dislike the rule but I\'m not...

I agree with what Tang Said in the first page of this topic. I was actually aware of Mahjong\'s existence a long time ago and I already spotted the similarities with some western card games. Since I\'m really hooked into card games I ended up wanting to know more about it but then I already knew the...

Sorry for the time passed since my last reply but I had a hell of a week at work so I wasn\'t really in the mood of anything except reading and sleeping. Thanks everyone for the replies, I\'ll start looking for a closer shop where to buy a MJ set as soon as i get paid from work ;) As for the keyboar...
