Problem with discard

Post by nikolis » Wed Sep 29, 2010 10:14 am

Hi, guys.
I played a game at Tenhou and I had 3,5,5 pin.So one drops a 4 pin, I make a chii but then the computer does not let me discard the 5 pin that I wanted.
Do you know why is that?Do you have something in mind?
Is it a bug maybe??

I have no idea.
Did you have a screen-shot or a record?
Tenhou keeps records of the games, but I'm not sure if it's for all accounts.

Sounds odd. The only situation I know of where Tenhou blocks discards is if you're shifting a chi by calling it (ie. if you have 3,4,5 you can't call a chi on a discarded 2 and then discard the 5), or, I think, trying to discard a tile you've just called.

I don't know and this is a total guess, but maybe it's a bug where it's still recognizing the 5-pin as being usable in the chi? Weird.

As Rosti said, there´s an optional rule wich blocks the chi shifting. It´s called Kui Kae Nashi. You must wait to the next turn to throw that tile you want to throw. But tht´s only if the rule is used.
Life is as beautiful as you want it to be, but it´s only one. That´s why you must not get tired of it. Don´t care if you don´t say something that seems "important" because your mere existence is important for someone.

Hallo, ich wollte nach Feierabend einfach kurz abschalten und habe ein Casino entdeckt, das für Belgien zugeschnittene Boni bereitstellt. Als ich dann auf spinmama ein paar Spins ausprobierte, hatte ich erst eine richtige Pechsträhne, bis ein größerer Treffer die komplette Stimmung gedreht hat. Danach lief alles deutlich entspannter. Wenn man etwas Leichtes zur Ablenkung sucht, ist das eine gute Wahl.
