Re:WWYD 5/2

6sou

This hand can worth too more with junchan + shan shoku or itsu + dora to stick with just pinfuu.

Re:Shall I make a new version / house rules?

There are so many mahjong rules in the world, what is the goal of creating a new one?

Re:Heirarchy of Two-Sided Waits

Ruro: It\'s true two-side waits are not all, but let\'s see some other kind of waits: - Single wait (pair wait) and dual pon wait (i.e. having two pairs and waiting to turn one of them into a pon) : You can\'t realy defend against this, expext by counting which tiles remain in play. - Middle wait : ...

Re:Heirarchy of Two-Sided Waits

i like to throw away the 1-9\'s all the way in the game That\'s why a wait on 1 or 9 is more likely to go out than other waits. You should know some tiles are more useful than others. Honors can\'t be used in chii. 1 and 9 can be used only in 123 (789) chii. 2 and 8 can be used in 123 and 234 (789 ...

Re:WWYD 4/18

8-bam

I think all is already said.

Possible options are 3sou, 5sou, 8sou and 6man.
We don\'t need so much pairs and I think 335 and 668 to be more flexible than 788.
Anyway, if I get 7888 here I wouldn\'t use it as a 888 pon but as an open wait for 678 and a pair (and I\'ve no use of more pairs).

Re:What do you guys do with your flowers/other fives?

Oh, we\'ve had this conversation quite often. I\'m always met with a "Oh, whoops. I forgot." and a smirk which tells me that in reality, they haven\'t forgotten at all. Which is why I am suspicious of them. Don\'t tape the tiles, tap the guys. What if you say "You forgot? So please remove them now."

Re:Mahjong Fairy Report

I want to sell a morning pack: Anyone who comes to the parlor before 1:00pm can buy a pack of 3 games and a free breakfast for 900-1000yen. In the land of the rising sun the sun must rise slowly if at midday and one hour the morning still is. For events, since the parlor is called \"Fairy\" maybe y...

Re:Greetings from a newbie with questions :)

Wonderful! As you said, it\'s \" almost impossible\", not \"impossible\". So no bug in the game. By the way, if you play on a 2-player arcade machine game, near impossible things become quite common (for or against you, depend how long since you spend a coin :lol: ). I remember a game the opponent s...

Re:WWYD!

I would also discard 9-dot, to go for iipeikou + tanyao + dora + possible pinfuu + riichi. (or sanshoku if I draw a 4wan first)

Re:gambling?

It\'s supposed to be calculate according the +/- \"final-final-points\" at the end.
Something like 100 our 1000 yen per \"final-final-point\".

Someone who actualy do or see gambling would give a better help.
