Yes, more entries would worsen your odds - unless they were you in disguise of course!

This is the edition I'm offering: http://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&keywords=0330252291

I'll probably do the draw on Friday around midnight (UK time) so that gives all next week for any further entries.

whoa, I won. RON! RON! ROOOOOOOON! [/iwao-san]

That was tense with the near-miss on the first shot. Thanks to Barticle for making this, thanks to everyone that participated, because you made this thing successful, and best of luck next time, because I'm sure there will be more!

Congratulations!
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.

Technically, since you're dealing a tile to participate in the competition, if you win..you're actually the one getting ron'd.

Hahaha xD

Glad to hear it. :)

I would also like to hear any suggestions for a new format for possible future Super-Mega Competitions. Perhaps something more related to mahjong gameplay, like making a hand or set. Maybe dealing suit tiles until one player makes a set - something like that.
