Re:Dead Wall Question

I think rules on tenhou and toupai-ou are the same. The difference is just in visualization. On tenhou there is little break where the dead wall ends after tiles are divided, but games end when there are only 14 tiles left - if there was kan made, there are tiles left after this gap between dead and...

Re:Discussion Rule Variants

Scoring lower when you can score more is not common for anybody. Case here is if it is possible or not. You say that Japanese don\'t do this, because you have never saw they do it, or because you have read it in some rules set. If so please show link to it or some other reference, because I would li...

Re:Dead Wall Question

You dont have to physically add tiles to dead wall. You just have to end game X tiles earlier where X is number of kan\'s made. So if there was one kan, the last tile you take is the one at the top of the last column, not the bottom one. When there are two kan\'s you can move the last column to the ...

Re:Discussion Rule Variants

What rule are you according to? I know only about rule that player can chose in which way he wants to count his hand, even if it gives him less points. Not to look to far you can find it in EMA rules point 4.1.1. It wont happen very often but there can be situations when player dont want to get more...

What Shirluban is saying is that the player can chose how he want to count his hand, even if it will give him less points. So you dont always get junchan, but you get it if you want to count it that way.

Re:iipeikou problem

I have never thought about that mentsu can be open while \"hand\" in general is closed, but it looks like it is it. So when I have, for example riichi with shanpon machi, and won on discard, I will count (fu) this koutsu as min-koutsu not an-koutsu, yes? And in iipeikou case it is min-shuntsu, but t...

iipeikou problem

As we all know when we have concealed hand with 3 koutsu, and shanpon-machi, we have to get tsumo for suuankou. But what about iipeikou, when we have 2-dot 2-dot 3-dot 4-dot 4-dot wait (with concealed hand) and someone discards that 3-dot. Will it be iipeikou or not? Until recently I have thought th...

Re:advice for a novice european player

On ron2 you pay for that you can play with pros. And thanks to that (imho) level of players there is higher than on tenhou and toupai. From my experience, when i was beginner and started to play on ron2 i couldn\'t win many games, and menage much better on tenhou, so I would recommend it for start. ...

Re:help with free membership info of https://www.r

On ron2 free account you can play only games in Freegames lobby. You dont have ranking, cant play dojo/battle, cant check played games. So the only good use of this free account on ron2 is tournament meetings that this page organises. Otherwise I reccomend you to play on tenhou or toupaiou, which gi...

Re:Another Ron2 Mystery

It\'s like poochy says. To add more, on ron 2 you start with 5kyu and the highest is 4dan. Kyu lvl is written with arabic number and dan lvls are with japanese kanji (1dan is written \"shodan\" so its not \"ichi\") To get 5kyu you need 16 tonpusen games or 12 hanchan with at least 2.7 place ratio.

Okay, got it figured out. There are two oka payments here: -5 to all, + 20 to winner, and +20 to first, +10 to second, -10 to third, -20 to fourth. There is one oka 20,000, and there is uma +20/+10/-10/-20. First place got rounded down to ensure that the final scores all add to zero. (74 - 1 - 29 -...
