Mahjong

Do lainons play mahjong? I am currently one week into it, reading about rules, tactics and soisoi*. If here would be at least three lainons we could try to run a lobby on tenhou (and create a proper thread with links to info in OP) Well, I think I must give some links to fire up interest, so here we go Start here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahjong ↓ Have tanoshii http://www.gamedesign.jp/flash/mahjong/mahjong_e.html ↓ Read the wiki http://arcturus.su/wiki/List_of_terminology_by_usage_category ↓ Introduce yourself with strategy http://www.sloperama.com/mjfaq/mjfaq08.htm ↓ Articles about strategy in riichi-mahjong http://justanotherjapanesemahjongblog.blogspot.ru/search/label/Riichi%20Theory ↓ To practice discarding and seeing yaku http://www.gamedesign.jp/flash/bamboo/bamboo.html ↓ Now you should be able to beat them http://www.gamedesign.jp/flash/mahjong/mahjong_e.html ↓ See you space cowboy http://arcturus.su/tenhou/lobbies-games.html — * more kawaii than soykafu

Some people in my go club play it, but I never got into it, mostly because it sounds like just an overly complex poker.f

>>3137 Once you start playing it at least a hour per day, it won’t take even a week to memorize the combinations. What’s tough are complex rules, but you don’t need to think of them, if you play against computer or on an automated system like tenhou.net. When I started to play I thought the same, but it came out a lot easier. Moreover, it’s a game with very random outcomes, so only very skilled players can actually shift the game.

>>3131 Dumb question, do you have to know Japanese? Also, here >>3138 you mention an hour a day. What if I did, say, three hours a week? I don’t want to be a master, I just want to have some fun. Also, do you need to stay completely focused while playing Mahjong, or can you do a move, go do something for a few minutes, and then do another move?

>>3131 I am interested…never got around to it though.Played and won once or twice against my phone.

>>3352 > Dumb question, do you have to know Japanese? No, only if you want to play on tenhou.net or ron2.jp. > What if I did, say, three hours a week? It would be only a bit longer. > I don’t want to be a master, I just want to have some fun I can only recommend to interleave playing with reading about yaku, rounds and tiles. Playing with bots isn’t fun, so learning a minimum to play online would be the first step on the way of having real tanoshii. > Also, do you need to stay completely focused while playing Mahjong, or can you do a move, go do something for a few minutes, and then do another move? Mahjong is gambling, not a chess/go/shogi-like game. If you’re playing with people you must be able to make the most of decisions within three seconds (this is required for online play).

>>3572 >This video made me realise thaz basically Shizuno is going commando the whole time What, isn't that the whole point of the series?

>>3573 The specific topic had some ambiguity,but in L Lawliet's terms,now I am 99% sure. (Also, you are Kira :P )

yep,totally,here's proof:

I want to start playing it seriously.

I've been into mahjong for a number of years. I usually play on tenhou, but I've played with friends and with a club on occasions. These days it's too much of a hassle and I just play online.

>>4062 Same guy, just posting some more stuff.

>>4062 I can empathize. Though I'll probably buy a nice set eventually, I really can't say I've cared about mahjong in the past two years. I wouldn't mind trying to get back into it with other lainons on tenhou though.

I did during my Hong Kong days. Noone to play with me now though. P.S. Saki is a soykaf anime. Would not recommend.

I bought a set.. Riichi set, because my friends said they would play with me. Now I have an expensive set, and nobody to play with.

>>4386 dope 👌💯

I don't even know how to play.
