/jp/ - Otaku Culture

The fact the mahjong thread got deleted is pretty baffling since mahjong is specifically listed in the board rules as on-topic.

What a wacky world!

>>11493361
Light novels are listed in the board rules as on-topic as well, but my Saten post still got deleted the other day. It's strange that the culprit stated the rule, but didn't seem to have read it himself in my ban page.

>>11493361

Indeed, what a wacky world.

Mah jong is Chinese, not Japanese. This board isn't worthy of Chinese culture.

>>11493372
麻雀 transcends the world.

>>11493361
You don't seriously think the rules mean anything do you

Moot has given all the janitors warlord status for their respective boards and they decide what stays and what goes

>>11493372
Okay then let's talk about go.

I don't know how to play go.

>>11493377
Go is Chinese fagget.

>>11493374

Son, there will be a Sengoku Jidai-style battle between the mods. Sadly, this means /b/ will rule all of 4chan.

Even more sadly, being subject to /b/ style moderation would be an improvement.

Sweet Jesus white is losing HARD

>>11493379
It's Indian like all board games ever.

>>11493377
go a shit

>>11493377
Watch Hikaru no Go.

>>11493372
Clearly we're talking about 理一麻雀, which is Japanese.

>>11493525

Ippatsu doesn't go along with rinshan, though. Also,

>>11495936
That's not ippatsu.

>>11495944
>>11495950
But I declared kan like the turn right after I richii'd.

>>11495953
That's still not ippatsu.

>>11495954

>>11493545
You gave me a giggle; thank you...

Reminder that in about 12 hours there will be T/a/noshii tournament, Ten-style East vs West.

Domino?

>>11498145

What?

>>11500813

Huh?

Hey I have a question - you know where if there is no winner then those within one tile of winning split 3000 points from those who don't? Can someone get those point even if they don't have a valid winning hand (that is, an open hand with no han possible)?

>>11501996
Yes, you're good as long as you're in tenpai by the end.

>>11501996
As long as you're in tenpai.

I'm too stupid to learn mahjong.
I tried this site
gamedesign.jp/flash/bamboo/bamboo.html
But every time I think I get it I get beaten.

Does anyone else play strip mahjong?

>>11502189
Don't bother playing it at early level.

>>11501996
Some places have rules forbidding that, but generally, if you're in tenpai when the round times out, it counts even if you have no yaku or a dead wait

>>11502189
Dude what the fuck is this, the cpu delcared riichi before I even got to do anything. The hell do I do?

>>11502306
Correctly determine your waits and call riichi, ron, or tsumo when appropriate.

>>11502256
What should I then do on early level? I think that if I just read how to play guides without trying to apply what I learned in some way it won't help me.

>>11504182

Try making every single yaku listed from it. Of course there's easymodo like yakuhai or tanyao, but I'd recommend to make pinfu, sanshoku doujun, and ittsuu.

>>11504191
Ok, thank you very much.

Am i lesbian yet?

why does everyone cut honors and terminals on the first turn

am I being obvious by cutting a 5man or 4pin on the first turn? what signals am I sending (other than "I'm a fucking noob")?

>>11505691
I personally tend to think if someone cuts a middle tile on their first discard (in order of probability in my own limited experience):
1. somete
2. early tenpai/iishanten
3. chanta/junchan
4. kokushi
then just remove possibilities as they're ruled out. Of course, some players just like honours and keep them.

>>11505691
they're cutting them because they're useless for their hand
honors and terminals are harder to work into a winning hand than middles

Something here wouldn't make sense

>am I being obvious by cutting a 5man or 4pin on the first turn?

Don't forget honitsu/chinitsu using sou

I hate mahjong!

I never learned how to play Mahjong.

I only know how to play the solitaire version. (._.)

>>11504191

How the fuck do I mahjong? I'm getting raped in this flash game.

>>11532364
in mahjong you need the following to win 4 sets (mentsu) + 1 pair + at least 1 yaku

what the fuck is a mentsu?
a mentsu can be a 3 of a kind, 3 consecuitve tiles of the same suit (123 of the pin suit, 456 of bamboo suit and so on) or a 4 of a kind (kan), your hand must have 4 of these, they are also called sets

a yaku is a special condition your hand must meet, all of the yakus are already defined and you can find them here
http://www.japanesemahjong.net/mahjong-rules/yaku/
the easiest yakus are tanyao, yakuhai and pinfu, your hand MUST HAVE AT LEAST 1 or else you cant win a game, however your hand can also have all the yakus you want, the point is to try to include as many yakus possible into your hand to get the most points

mahjong is a very defensive game, youll only win 25% of the time, it is not a game about "winning", its more a game about "not losing so much", play defensive until you have something that can net you huge points and dont be discouraged by losing streaks, play a lot until yakus pour out of your heart

>>11502189
I don't get this.
I just start, and it gives me a double Yakuman.

>>11532566
Wait-reading practice. Try to get 300000 points to win.

Don't be surprised when the computer tenhous 3 times in a row.

>>11532575
I just press the button and I win

>>11532021
I am impressed.

>>11532566
That's neither a ron nor a double yakuman.

>>11532566
>he doesnt know how to read 10hou
Just commit sudoku

>>11532621
Same. Unfortunately I'm ToshinoK so it didn't work out too well for me.

>>11532703
Congratulations on being impregnated

I wish Tenhou allowed typing in game.

I wish the game was easier to understand...

>>11535208
The rules are simple, the only difficult part is learning the yakumen.

>>11535208
dude game is piss easy
just play with the yaku list by your side until you learn them all
