Re: Increasing Exposure to Reach Mahjong
Yea. Like me! :lol: And to be honest, it's quite iffy linking a particular group/forum into a Wikipedia article, if it cannot be used as a source. On top of that, this site IS a commercial site. Heck, I bought my junk mat here. However, with the Japanese game virtually low-key and unknown to the We...

Re: Finally!
Human beings aren't programmed to settle for mediocrity. I'm a big believer in striving to be better than you are. I'm also glad not to be perfect - for you can, at best, maintain it. Often at the cost of enjoyment (witness the number of pros in any endeavor who burn out from trying to get that las...

Increasing Exposure to Reach Mahjong
Just some random thoughts... In an effort to increase exposure to Reach Mahjong it helps to take a page out of Barticle's virutal book and try and get the link to the forums in more places. I went ahead and put the external link on the two main Mahjong pages over on BoardGameGeek as well as edited t...

Re: Extra Hand Dealt at Tenhou?
Ah! Yes, this particular game was uneventful - a few quick outs and fast deal rotation. I'm sure none of us were 30k+
Had it not dealt the bonus hand, it might have been the fastest game I've played online.

Extra Hand Dealt at Tenhou?
Something interesting just happened and I've no idea why. I was playing my usual East-Only game at Tenhou. It was rather uneventful - the deal rotated four times rather quickly and after the 4th new dealer hand the game dealt out a bonus hand. The indicator before the deal showed a '1' again. It was...

Re: Finally!
Fantastic writeup! Very useful and instructional. It is much appreciated. Finally If it took you 30 games to get one first place, you might want to check this blog out http://www.osamuko.com/category/theory/ I'll give it a read. But don't feel badly for me - this is the best of times. Most of those ...

Re: The best non-yakuman hand you've gotten?
My best hand just happened a few moments ago. It was Baiman. I've yet to get higher but I was pleased enough!

Finally!
I've no idea where this fits on the board, but I just won my first East-Only game on Tenhou! It only took 30 games (this is my first week playing online) :) It helped that I started with this: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/45934553/tenhou1.png And a few other lesser hands won which led to this: https://d...

FavIcon for ReachMahjong.com
I noticed the ReachMahjong.com has no favicon. That's the little 16x16 icon that shows in the web browser and also when a person bookmarks a page. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/45934553/favicon_missing.png You can see the missing icon for ReachMahjong.com. It's a small deal, obviously, and one some sites...

Re: Video Mahjong Cheat Sheet
Finally, highly suggest learning the yaku in Japanese -- and refer to them as the "names" of the yaku. I revised the sheet to include the Japanese name and the Kanji/Kana. Hopefully it is correct. The goal of keeping it to one page is getting harder :) If anyone wants the original .doc (Word97 and ...

You may want to review the scoring of the first two yaku.
I'll try my new signature! I feel more important already

Re: Video Mahjong Cheat Sheet
Having a cheat sheet crammed to one side allows a full scoring table to be included on the backside. Finally, highly suggest learning the yaku in Japanese -- and refer to them as the "names" of the yaku. Possible to do, despite not knowing much Japanese to begin with. Originally this sheet had 2 si...

Re: Video Mahjong Cheat Sheet
It's nice, but you made an unforgivable mistake. The yaku having a different value when open or closed, always worth more with a close hand . And "four pon and a pair" worth 2 han, disregarding if the hand is open or closed. Mea Culpa! I'll get that corrected now and up-upload to the same location....
