>it's another "distracted play cost me the game" episode

I've bitched about this before so I'll spare you the details, but what is the best option when full concentration isn't an option for the foreseeable future:

-avoid playing entirely
-play half-assed and risk losing R
-stick to bots

Thoughts?

>>15045432
Replay please.

Can some explain how this hand has 70 fu? I think it only has 50 (32+16, rounded up).

What the hell is this?

>>15046188
It's a text prompt, anon.

>>15046188

oh nvm I figured it out. Didn't think it was possible that hand was one from tenpai.

>>15046188
A closed wait on the 5p.
It's also the free sex button.
Don't press it in that situation.

>>15046173
20 base
10 for closed Ron
32 for closed terminal kan
2 for tanki
=64 which rounds up to 70.

>>15046188
It's saying you can riichi by discarding the 5 sou and waiting on the 5 pin. It's probably a terrible idea, but it's an option.

>>15045893
too true

2:0 get the fuck in here

>>15046233
>32 for closed terminal kan
Somehow, I got the idea in my head that terminals and non yaku-giving winds were only 16 han when closed kan'd. Don't know why.

>>15044890
We have Ryan Morris, a player so good that several pro orgs have begged him to join their league.

>>15046294
It's easy to get those fu numbers mixed up. But one thing to keep in mind. 2 is the lowest from anything. 32 is the highest. Anything in between are powers of 2 (4, 8, 16).

3:4 again.

UNIVERSE you really should've tried for a daisangen with that starting hand.

>>15047418
In the last game I played, two or three of the honor tiles I was waiting were in the deal wall or near the end of it, so I really doubted I would get even 1 of the remaining haku's after the first was thrown out.

Playing really bad today. Kill me.

>>15047937

Can anyone point me to something I can read/watch to improve my skill in handling tiles? I keep getting tiles everywhere when trying to stack the walls

Mahjong is my drug of choice

>>15050077
I play the piano.

Sometimes the tile I click isn't the one that gets discarded, and it's really, really annoying when it happens. At first I thought it was me not paying attention to turn time, but it's happened plenty of times when I've had a fair bit of time remaining.

Is this a known bug? I'm bad enough to throw games myself, I don't need the game to do it for me.

>>15050434
Are you using the Flash client? That's why. Try a different browser or ideally the Windows client.

>>15050434
Does this happen after you chi something? If yes, then you're a fag

>>15050534
nah just after regular draws, or sometimes I'll have an option to call something, and it'll just discard instead

>>15050457
probably this, I guess this is the excuse to use the windows client finally

>>15050434
It's a known problem in firefox. I switched to chrome for playing on tenhou and never got the issue there.

When should I call kan?

>>15050704
Always. But especially when you're in first place by 10-20k or when somebody else is in riichi.

>>15050614
Sounds like you're double-clicking

>>15050709
>always
But won't that slow down the completion of hands?
>especially when somebody else is in riichi
Is this a ruse? Most people have told me to avoid it then.

>>15050704
>Open Kans:
- Don't open your hand for a kan, except if it's dora and even then only do it when it's likely that you will open your hand anyway and noone else appears to be close to tenpai
-If your hand is already open only call open kan when you are close to tenpai, or you REALLY need the additional points
- Obviously don't call open kan when you could make use of the 3 tiles in your hand for a sequence + a pair as in 78889
>Closed Kans:
- Closed kans should be called late if possible, don't call closed kan as long as you have isolated tiles. Only call closed kan when you have only tiles in your hand that you want to keep.
-Don't call closed kan if you suspect that someone else is closer to finishing their hand than you, excpet if you REALLY need the additional points
- Like with open kans beware of situations where you could make other use of the tiles as in 678888 for example. If you have 68888 on your hand don't call kan.
- If you are in betaori and have only dangerous tiles you can declare closed kan to draw a new tile and hope that it's a safe one, but consider that you give your opponent additional dora chances this way.
>Late Kans:
- If the the 4th tile would be a safe discard it's often better to just discard it instead of calling the kan, if you suspect someone might be in tenpai, except if you're in tenapi yourself, then go for rinshan kaihou
- Remember the possibility of chankan, so don't just carelessly call open kan with a dangerous tile against riichi

>>15050787
Yes that guys was making shit up and told you exactly what you shouldn't do.

>>15050787
>slow down the completion of hands?
nah, you get an extra draw.

anyone who's too afraid to kan in 7447 should cut his peepee and be a mami.

>>15050704
In general? Not early, because you don't want to give others the chance to benefit from the kandora.

Sometimes, you're better off not calling at all. But if you're gonna call, wait till you're tenpai or 1-shanten.

>>15050614
>>15050434
I really have no idea why, but if I had to guess, it probably has to do with clicking = discarding the highlighted tile, so after calls or tiles moving in your hand, the hightlight might get stuck at a different place than where your cursor is over.

>>15051025
That's what it felt like, honestly. Switched to the desktop client now, so hopefully that's the end of it.

Let's play, boys.

Today! on Wise Discard Decisions: "well, there's no way that guy is waiting something around all those dora"

>>15051646
Worse than that, it's discarding a dora into a riichi. It's also the first dora, so there's a good chance to build a hand around it.

MJ-NET players are really bad in general.

Is there a way to improve this after 8 games? Or is it stuck as is?

>four 4th places

Yea, that sucked.

>>15054820
Yea, free play is essentially ippan. Ranked and Cup play is far more interesting.

>>15054838
I don't find MJ-NET very interesting because even in ranked modes players aren't great, and tonpussen is a poor mode. Not to mention that MJ-NET's rigging is very thinly veiled.

>>15054848
The guy who drove me to the mahjong parlor meetup back in Feburary was convinced tenhou is more rigged than MJ-NET for some reason.

That feel when you tilt toimen

http://tenhou.net/0/?log=2016041015gm-0029-0000-969e595a&tw=2

>>15055004
Tenhou uses random seed for generating walls, several years ago a bug was discovered that allowed seeing walls so there was definitely no rigging at the time. Not to mention that the point of rigging is to make people pay more but tenhou is free aside from houou and windows client

>>15055004
Tenhou has few motivations for rigging and actually has some functional evidence that the wall is pre-determined, as mentioned in >>15055030

MJ-NET does not release wall data in replays, which is very suspect. If you've played MJ-NET for a while you've probably noticed that it feels very different than tenhou in terms of draws, winning streaks, average hand value, and so on. I also suspect that the reason they push tonpussen so hard is that it's easier to manipulate the outcome of since it's so short. A lot of japanese reviews I've read tend to echo this sentiment.

I have a question about swap calling on pon specifically. I read somewhere that you're not allowed to pon something you already have a set of then discard the fourth. I can't think of a single situation where this would be advantageous in any way, except maybe dropping a red five to reduce score on tsumo to not bankrupt someone, but that doesn't really seem like a reason for a rule to exist

>>15055085
Kuikae nashi includes that very situation with pon. But yea, the situation would have to be pretty odd for anyone to want to do something like that.

>>15055085
Well you may want to pon a red five without declaring kan

>>15055094
That's something else.

>>15055094
That makes sense too, but a situation where you'd want to then discard a plain 5 would be fairly uncommon

Alright, first game of the day, I'm ready to kick ass and take nam-
Oh.

>>15055171
>no riichi

>>15055185

>>15056082
Late game versus someone with lots of open dora this would be a good play as long as you weren't throwing away all your own safe tiles.

>>15055636
Unfortunately, you need to pay if you want to play with it. You can always watch replays for free, but that's it.

You discarded the Chun for a hell wait on the 1 pin. There was a pretty good chance that north was going to deal it.

>>15058098
what retard would deal a chun into a very possible daisangan hand?

One pin seemed like a more likely discard than the Chun

>>15058133
The type of retard that's still in Ippan. You can see their ranks on the table, not to mention the chance that the player in riichi draws it and deals in.

>>15058133
>what retard would deal a chun into a very possible daisangan hand?

>>15061608
Be a man. If you aren't going to change your hand, you riichi. Yes, even if the riichi itself won't increase the value of your hand. Yes, even if it's a yakuman. ESPECIALLY if it's a yakuman.

>>15061689
I would have won if i hadn't dealt into a previous hand, but after that i was first by a good margin, but then toimen got an oya haneman with a couple of riichis in the next round and got a few points over me and we ended with a less than 1k difference. if i reached this hand i'd got a baiman and that would have made for that difference

how you could tell if someone ragequit?

>>15062600
Context. If someone's name goes red while in the lead, he/she probably had a connection issue or a pressing matter.

If someone goes red immediately after getting hit with a haneman? Ragequit

>>15062711
Thank you

>>15062711
ragequitting in tenhou is stupid.

Now here's today's edition of WWYD. Pick and explain.

>>15065349
5man akadora

>>15065349
6s. 3s suji, 9s is one chance.

But it's ippan so who cares, cut 4s and keep pushing.

>>15065349
>ippan

It could be fucking anything.

>dropping live 6-pin

Well, might as well drop suji 3-pin, when two 4-pin and one 1-pin dropped.

>>15065349
The 6 pin you dropped last turn was the most dangerous tile possible into a 7 pin riichi. Might as well dump the 3 pin now that it is suji, but you already incredibly recklessly considering that lead.

>>15065401
>you are already playing

>>15065349
Push for tanyao chiitoitsu, you clearly don't give a fuck

That was a pretty rookie mistake. I deluded myself into believing that the pin tiles are all safe and ended up losing this hand and this match as well.

>>15065445
With a 7 pin riichi just assume that the player is on a 36 pin wait until you know it's safe. Especially in ippan no one is going to bother to hide their waits.

yesterday got a really bad streak and got demoted back to 1dan, so today sat my ass down and played like a fucking man and got back to 2dan without losing even one match

>>15065443
For all it's worth, I'm in betaori and all the tiles I've been discarding before the 6p are all perfectly safe.

>>15065460
Sometimes I just lose focus and forget about the basics. It's a good lesson.

Now, for a new one.

>>15065460
>>15065445

or 69p. just don't drop around the riichi tile until you're sure

>>15065474
Riichi and drop 3m. I feel like someone would drop a 4m at some point.

>>15065474
Nothing is safe at all and it's south 4. Since it's ippan and you get nothing unless you get first, go for the win. Riichi the 3 man and hope for ura dora or that C is a retard and deals in.

Here's the result. I don't see it as a wrong discard at all given how better it is to go for the chase instead.

>>15065559
>16k up in S1
lel

>>15065559
Your only other option to try and win was playing the 5 man and hoping for a san an kou haneman, but discarding a red dora is a quick way to deal into a dealer haneman. As it turns out you started the hand in second and ended in second.

>>15065601
And even that would have required an ippatsumo or ura dora. The 3 was the right play and didn't cost you anything.

>>15065559
There was no reason to be in damaten there. Unless you expected to pick up another 5 man, press the free sex button.

hngh, so close to a perfect gyakuten but I called ron on someone else, as 2 players were already in riichi and I figured a guaranteed 2nd was better than a slim shot at 1st.

So close to Suuankou tonight. Twice. Too bad I got my ass slapped up and down the table both games.

>>15066340
There are steps under the Tenhou page at arcturus if I remember correctly.

>>15065349
I think 4s is the correct decision here.
4s and 6s are single suji. Like >>15065363 stated 6s is slightly safer since 3 9s are out. However your hand is good and in isshanten. Given the very small difference in safety between 4s and 6s, it's best to discard 4s to keep your chance of winning the hand.

>>15067575
>single suji
What the hell is that?

If one of the two tiles needed for double suji is in the players discard pond, or was discarded after he got in tenpai it's called single suji. E.g. if a player whi declared riichi has a 1s in his discard pond, 4s is single suji and a bit safer than no-suji middle tiles, but still pretty dangerous.

>>15065474
Can someone post the background picture?

>>15067575
6s is quite a bit safer than 4s because three 8s are visible.

Then again, 3p was theoretically the safest of all since the dangerous 6p passed, but it happened to be a 24p wait.

>>15067595
It doesn't mean much, in my opinion.

Having 1s in the discard pond only means they can't a 14s ryanmen wait. They can easily have 47s ryanmen wait instead, however. I've seen too many hands where someone discards a 6p or something after seeing the guy who declared riichi discard a 3p only for the wait to be 69p. If you don't have any safe tiles I guess it's marginally safer than blind discards.

>>15067623
I didn't even see the 6p, since I just assumed there would be no suji, as it would makes things too easy. 3p is best then.

I would still discard 4s over 6s otherwise, though. for 56 ryanmen wait 2 6 and 1 5 is visible and for a 78 ryanmen wait it's 3 8s and 2 7s. 2 tiles difference.
On the other hand you have a chance to get in tenpai with 12 tiles. and since you have tanayo you can even call them. I wouldn't throw that away for a measly 2 til difference between the 4 and the 6.

>>15067628
>Having 1s in the discard pond only means they can't a 14s ryanmen wait. They can easily have 47s ryanmen wait instead, however
Of course. That's why normal suji or double suji is far better, but if you don't have those you have to use any information you can get.

anybody who says 3p was wrong is just talking through hindsight

question

In SegaMJ tourneys do you ahve play at least 8 match to advance to next turn?

Taken from Kindai Mahjong All Stars. WWYD?

>>15069776
Give up and die, because there's no getting out of that one alive.

>>15069776
5p

>>15069776
I lube up and bend over.

>>15069776
>All those Akagi
It's super early, that 5 pin is only going to get more dangerous. Save the 6m in case you hit a 7 or wander into sanshoku. 2m isn't a bad play either, but I'd rather keep that pair for now.

>>15069776
6m. Akagi can go play himself and just ignore little old me so I have a chance at survival.

>>15069776
7s. 22m or 55p could become 222 or 555 later on. 7s is redundant because it overlaps with 456s so the ukeire already takes in account 5 and 6s.
>>15069997
6m is dorasoba. It's much more dangerous than 5p, as oya already has 4p in his hand.

http://tohaiden.jp/nanikiru/nanikiru-1571/?display=app
Recommended answer: 3man

By the way, I won't recommend the game much. Quite tonpuusen heavy.

>>15069776
5-pin.

As mentioned. It can become a dangerous tile later. 6-man, can't give up on it too early in case dora does get drawn.

>>15070240
The hell? If anything that moves the hand away from pin fu and towards no yaku other than maybe an eventual sanshoku which you could keep with the pin fu anyway. If you cut the 5 pin first and then the 3 man the next round that would make a lot more sense.

>>15070240
http://tohaiden.jp/

>mfw, seeing the promo video

>>15070891
Overall it goes like this
>it's still very early
>gonna keep souzu good shape
>6m is a keep for 7m dora draw
>comparing manzu and pinzu, pinzu can make sanshoku shape
>eventually, 2m will be the pair, with the only drawback comes from 1m draw

>>15069776
It's the very first round and you've got a good shape. You've got no reason not to go full speed ahead by dropping 6m. "5p might be dangerous later" is a moot point as most of your hand would be just as dangerous.

>>15070891
>maybe an eventual sanshoku
Now you're thinking like the JPML.

>>15071059
As much bullshit as they spin sometimes, you have to respect what people like Moriyama have done for the game.

>>15070240
I don't get how 3m could in any way be better than 6m, 5p or 2m.
The hand is 2-shanten and by discarding 3m you give up 8(!) tiles to get into isshanten. By discarding 5p or 2m you give up two tiles, and by discarding 6m you give up 0 tiles. Though, since 6 is close to dora you might argue that discarding 5p or 2m instead is worth it. But I fail to see how 3m is better than any of these 3 options.

>>15071575
You keep the chance for sanshoku, dora, or even both. And even if you draw pinzu or souzu instead, it's easy to go back to pinfu shape.
Point over speed.

What would you discard? Aさん called riichi with that east tile by the way.

>>15067829
What is the connection with minami-ke?

>>15071800
Not much to work with. I'd go with the 1s.

>>15071800
8m.
>>15071816
That's the most obvious choice here so it's wrong.

>>15071816

>>15071825
NEVER trust the bird.

>>15071825
Always fun to call the riichi tile to deny the ippatsu even if someone deals right in. Here it stops the mangan and cuts the hand value in half.

>>15071816
>1s

Yes, I concur

Does anything happen if you complete all the missions for a character in Tohaiden?

>>15073451
>shit goes right back up the ass

Now, that's disgusting

>>15073451
Not yet. It's not over yet.

Just hit 3dan with 104 games. R1852 +8.25 avg.

Are there any mahjong manga that aren't centered around a gary sue? Only one I know of is Tetsuya, at least at the beginning.

>>15073628
Have you read Tetsunaki no Kirinji? You also have Ten, which is more focused about Hiro's growth and inferiority to Akagi and Ten.

Betori time.

Which one do you pick?

Which one would Urabe (from Akagi) choose?

>>15073673
9p seems like a good choice since it's safe towards A and it would be a hell wait for Shimocha.

That's also why it's the wrong answer here, isn't it? Especially with that 8p he just dropped.

So the right answer is probably 3m.

>>15073673

3m, and if the red 5m passed after the riichi I'd go with that after.

>>15073648
I forgot about the first one, thanks. I started Ten a few days ago but I'm finding it hard to get into.

>>15073717
You're going to want to stick with Ten. Trust me when I say the last 3 volumes are some of the best I've ever read. And there's a couple of really good matches before that.

The start is pretty weak, though.

>>15073673
3m or 5m. Safe on both of the dangerous sides.

>>15073673
Isn't 5m 100% safe against anyone but toimen? So why not just 5m?

>>15073778
Because Toimen is secretly tenpai too, and that's probably what he dealt into.

>>15073781
>Because Toimen is secretly tenpai too
When facing a dealer riichi and a guy with an open hand with 3 calls that might be toitoi honitsu I wouldn't care much about a possible damaten from the 3rd player. 3m and 5m are the only tiles 100% safe against shimocha and kamicha, so one of them should definitely be discarded. 3m seems slightly safer against against toimen now that I'm looking at it, though, since 6m passed and he didn't change his wait after that. So 3m -> 5m -> other tiles

>>15073673
Well, are you gonna show us what it was?

>>15073694
>>15073697
>>15073771
>>15073778
>>15073807
Apparently, Kuro was toimen.

As a note, yes, 3m or 5m did have some merit. That's exactly what I saw. Both kamicha and shimocha dropped them. I presumed toimen to also be in betaori and ended up ignoring.

>>15073838
That's just really unlucky, after both 6m passed.

I had a game the other day where one guy pulled an Akagi and let 2 rons pass on me just to ron me on the third, better out. Shame I can't find the replay.

>>15073694
>9p seems like a good choice since it's safe towards A and it would be a hell wait for Shimocha.
But that's the hell wait's greatest weakness. It takes that last tile to cock block it. A mangan honitsu threat like that rules out pinzu.

>>15072639
Nah, don't bother. Complete 10/10 requires you to use specific character, some requires another unlocks, etc etc.
Just aim necessary for chara unlock, and even then, late charas require bullshit quests (damaten mangan+, etc)

>>15074400

>I
>some other guy

You better not have split personality disorder.

>>15073673
9p is safe against toimen and kamicha. 8p kabe with three 9p visible means the only possibility for a 9p wait is a hell wait. It's possible for shimocha to be waiting on it, depending on when he called 6p. If his hand was, for example, 2346689p then he would already be in tenpai and he'd have no need to pon.

3m is safe against kamicha and shimocha. 6m passed, and there are three 2m visible, so it's likely to be safe against toimen too.

5m is safe against kamicha and shimocha. Four 6m are visible and three 3m. It's a bit hard to tell from the calls, but it looks like your 2m came out after toimen's 1s, after which he just tsumogiri'd, so 5m is highly likely to be safe against him as well.

It's crucially important, especially when you reach tokujou, to keep track of when players call and what they discard after that.

how far am I gonna get before I have to start learning advanced concepts to not get my ass handed to me?

Excuse me, but you seem to have some incorrect mah-jongg terminology.
Me and my friend Carol (just sent her a fax - recently divorced, let's all put a little prayer out for her) are the top members of the American Mah-Jongg Association and don't like it when you pull silly stunts like calling a mah-jongg-ready hand a ten pie.
Ten pie, in fact, is the name of a very valuable hand (35 cents) that incorporates all three of a bam quint, a soap pair, and a current year formation. In fact, Carol's so good she can tell if she tell if you can route a ten pie by the 2nd Charleston.
Please be more careful next time you choose to post.

>tfw I skimmed through an American Mah-Jongg guide at the bookstore the other day and learned that quints, soap, and Charleston are actual terms

>>15077221

Do you even match?

>>15077263
Although it's not in keeping with the rest of the game, Charleston sounds like a fun house rule to have. Maybe just because I like hearts though.

>>15078673
Pretty satisfying.

I dealt a really, really shitty 4s early on that I knew was probably it against a 5s riichi discard, but I wanted to try playing aggressive. And it worked out since the hand was so cheap.

Let's do this again.
Taken from ron2. WWYD?

>>15079037
The 8sou.
Then the 5pin if x78x is completed, or 8sou again if 2x45x is completed. I think 3pin is safe against everyone, and I have a bad feeling about discarding 2pin.

RIP kamicha

>>15079393
Why would you even defend there? No one called anything, no one riichid, your hand is looking good, just attack.

>>15080000
4p makes perfect sense. By discarding 4p you keep the dora and can get in tenpai by drawing 2m/5m/6s/8s/9s (or 2p, but those are already out). All other options are slower or equally fast, but lose the dora.

>>15081737

>>15080000
>>15081799
Oh wait, by discarding 1p you lose the dora but get tanayo. This actually seems better.

>>15081801

>>15081809
I have to question why you discarded the 6p over the 9p a bit earlier.

Step you your games, niggas. You people could've prevented this.

Probably this game is the closest online mahjong we can get that resembles Saki game, without actually having Saki characters. Unlocking characters, special stories, and bullshit requirements to unlock achievements.

However, the online mode is quite close to Tenhou. Rating system (but without rank), similiar house rule, just without tenpai renchan, only agari renchan. Plus, you can get surplus coins if you get 1st.

That being said, personally I won't recommend this game if you want serious game like Tenhou. If you want to play, just grab characters, especially the broken ones, play CPU mode, then go ham.

This team is fielded into the National Team tournament. How fucked are the Sakis?
