What if toohous have a 4chan in Gensokyo where they make tons of threads about each of us ^__^

Don't mind me.

The old thread mysteriously disappeared while the mods where doing an outstanding job (as usual), so... let's play (again)!

Please read 2-3 sites before playing and even then try the singleplayer games first.
Playing without knowing what you do is not only frustrating for yourself but also for your opponents, a player that left because he couldn't ron for his no Yaku hand or because someone ron'd his discard just kills the whole fun for everyone.

Usually, a game lasts around 30 minutes, so please, if you're not going to stay until the end, respect the other players and don't join a new game.

If you read some of the linked sites and still have questions feel free to ask.

>It is so hard to make a big hand in 4P that you will never have a chance to come back after a dealer tsumo mangan/haneman.
Bullshit. A dealer haneman puts you at a definite advantage but is in no way a guarantee you'll win. Mangans aren't rare at all.

>In 3P you have to weight score/risk, aim for a specific guy, mind games to get the faggot to play your winning tiles and etc.
You just described 4P, I think.

>In 4P? Betaori forever and hope you get 2nd or first when you dealer ippatsu tsumo.
Betaori forever and rely on luck? Hardly, knowing when to start taking apart your hand is and when to take risks are integral parts of mahjong. I'm sure 3P isn't much different in that regard.

I've never played 3P myself but I'm under the impression that the vocal parts of the "4P crowd" overstate its simplicity. Sure, it's easier to make huge hands but that holds true for the opponents as well. On a similar note, the "3P crowd" seems to have some really oddball opinions of normal play. Nothing that has been said of why it's supposedly boring (or "requires less skill", that one was new) has really struck home with me.

I guess I should try 3P sometime but it doesn't seem very interesting to me. To each their own.

Fuck, I cannot believe there isn't a Tenhou thread. What the hell happened, /jp/.

Mahjong, looking for 3 more players for 4p.

Hello, /jp/. I've found myself visiting you less and less since you stopped doing mahjong threads. You haven't perchance continued running them?
