/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Still waiting for one more player to join your number 1 favourite 3P game.

>>3457878

Haha, what a fun game.

>http://arcturus.su/tenhou/
Why is the protocol section closed down?

Nump for 3P!

Thank you for the game!

sigh....

;_;

who keeps making these threads??

>>3458919
Tenhou Tanyao, the local mahjong youkai.

>>3458919

Mahjong threads aren't posted, they exist perpetually.

3:0 for ari red hanchan. Man up.

>>3458919
It's me, brah

Bwahahahahahahahaha.

I'm just started playing and got this...

fucking ragequitters man

>ragequitting mahjong
sad

>>3460306
I hate them. Totally ruin the game.

>>3460225
too bad you didn't win...but nice comeback attempt and the yakuman hand. you would have won if you had tsumo'ed the 9 pin but that would be a high risk move no one would dare to take. :)

ot: noname bot loses...and i seem to have pissed the other guys..:P tsumos ftw.

>>3460422
Yeah, that was the third 9pin, far too much risk of it being in the dead wall, or part of a chii in someone's hand. Besides, I was delighted enough just to pull off a yakuman.

>>3460225

you dont have to post it in every thread, yeah its a nice hand but its not like you are suddenly akagi

I have never quit a tenhou match, I even hold my pee in just to finish a game.

But I don't play on faggot 7447 either, to few people.

>>3460604
are you frustrated?

So, anyone tried out e-mahjong?

That cat is too goddamn cute. Fuck.

>>3461358
here, but don't ask for more

>>3461367
OH MY FUCKING GOD WHO HATH UNLEASHED THUS UPON US I AM AM GOING TO DIE

>>3461367


MOAR!!!!

>>3461388
can't

>>3461367
HHHHhhhhhhhnnnnggggggg...

I just finished to read Ten. ;_;
Let me have a match, so I will cry more.

>>3461367
Mai Backgroundo!

Bump for 3P.

gj calling that, or i wouldve had 7 dora toi toi tenpai

sure is mahjong the yakuhai and toitoi version around here

thanks for ruining the game with nothing but yakuhai and toitoi and blind kans

fuck off to 0000

>>3461839
U mad ?

>>3461839

>>3461842
>>3461843

How can you honestly be happy winning in 3p when all your points come from nukis and uradoras from retarded kans? As if 3p isnt lol random enough.

>>3461851
I'm happy when I have +97 at the end of the hanchan.
Go be angry somewhere else.

>>3461851
probably because the everyone plays with the same 3p and they can also nuki.
3p needs a lot more luck than 4p, but the people who play it start of even.
Also, comebacks are more common in it.

bump

can someone explain why the fuck i'm furiten here?

>>3462086
Discarded 4man, winning tiles 4man or 7man

>>3462096
ah fuck totally didn't even see that.. rage.

>>3462096
wait does the fact that the 4 is one of the winnings tiles mean I can't even win if the 7 is discarded ?(which it was)

>>3462100
I guess that's how the cookie crumbles

>>3462107
yup, when you're in furiten you can't ron, only tsumo.

>>3462119
man I thought it was that you can't form a winning set that contains a tile you discarded (which would mean I can go out on the 7)... well more you know.

Anyone else want to play?

Isn't it that when you pass on a ron you're in furiten for a round ?

>>3462147
I have never heard of such a rule. But furiten occurs when you have discarded one of your winning tiles earlier in the game.

>>3462159
Furiten's only on that tile, tho, iirc.

>>3462147

Look at >>3462086's discards; they dealt one of their winning tiles before declaring riichi.

>a hand is furiten if it can win on a previous discard, if it can win on a tile thrown previously this [go-]round, or if it can win on any tile thrown since riichi has been declared" (and not claimed by the player when initially thrown).

So here it is.

>>3462147
Seems like you're almost correct.
According to http://www.sloperama.com/mjfaq/yaku/yaku.htm
A furiten can occur when you have discarded a winning tile, pass up a ron or pass up a winning tile after declaring riichi.
Passing a ron without having called riichi also only gives you one go-around with furiten.

>>3462147
Yes only if you didnt riichii.

1 more for ari red

because he dealt one of the winning tiles, the 4 man and 7man becomes a sacred tile meaning he can only win by tsumo.

he should have cut the 5 man and 6 man and go for a different wait. not like his hand would be worth much...3 hans at most..

should have made a better hand by removing the 1 mans and the 9 sou. at least you'll get a minimum mangan score that way.

Well that went downhill pretty fucking quickly for me.

Bumping for challengers

>>3462162
Furiten is furiten, not "furiten on a tile". If you discarded a 4m and you have a 4m/7m wait, you're furiten and you can thus only win with tsumo.

I was 3 shan ten from my first kokushi, and the winning hand was worth 1000. Fuck. At least I went the entire game without getting ronned.

>>3464482
3 shan ten? Dude... I have had some starting hands 3 shan ten from Kokushi Musou that ended up in noten.

>>3464482
4 shan ten on the first draw is the upper limit when aiming for a kokushi, unless you're in really desperate circumstances. I usually need 3 shan ten on the first draw to aim for it.

skip to 1:27 and watch this guy play mahjong.

Bump.

BALD 'ere
gg
Holy shit was that close though.

>>3464903
Sorry for ruining your comeback with a non-winning hand, but I needed to go.

>>3464903
Thank god I play safe.

This site rocks.

IWONTDEALADRAGONDORAEVERAGAIN

>>3465110

>>3465110
It depends. If you deal it during the first 5 turns it's alright. If you deal it when it's a live tile and when there are 5 turns left, you're just dumb.

>>3465133
Experiencing it is the best way to learnWHATDIDIDOIKNEWIT

>>3465110

I thought I Wouldn't be able to come back then you discarded it for a richi ippatsu.

No one wants to play any more? ;_;

O.o

>>3467430
That's easy. Just dump all of the honors except for the 2 Hatsu, and call everything you can. Go go cheap 1000 points.

>>3467430

drop all your useless word tiles and see where your draws take you. more likely than not someone will win before you so I would just wait for that to happen and try not to deal in. calling on the hatsu would be stupid because it would restrict your hand and you'd still be a ton of tiles away from tenpai so I would play it closed, too.

zzz123 was as close to Kokushi Musou as I've ever seen.

after D:

>>3467502
I was one tile away from Kokushi Musou but some cunt Kan'd the Haku.

>>3467514
nice botting

>>3467532
You can call chankan on any kind of kan for Kokushi Musou.

>>3467556
He Kan'd before I got in tenpai
I got the Chun right after his Kan.

>>3467566
Ah. That sucks.

>>3467532

Ever watch 2 of the 3 winning tiles you need get closed kaned with the other 1 being dead right before you finalize your hand?

Nump for 3P!

bump

Hey OP, is there any site that explains how to tweak the rules for 2 players mahjong?

>>3469207
Why would you want that!? Also, bump for 3P.

>>3469284
Because I don't have enough RL friends to play 4 player mahjong ;_;

Bald here.
GG.

bump

Bump for late night majaan.

Bumped yet again.

Bump for 3P!

>>3469315
Just play 3P with your friend then, that's what I do. Also, bump for 3P again.

bump

They always use the same photos, don't they?

So I finally registered and my luck turns to utter shit. Can't get a good hand together 90% of the time, and when I finally do, some faggot plays into somebody else's open tanyao....WHAT THE SHIT MAN, and now I got these fucking stats on my mind, shouldn't have registered....

>>3476040
Used to be a different one a few weeks ago, then it disappeared for a bit and it was just a tenhou promo video, then this one came

My luck turns to utter shit whenever I visit 7447, either 0 is full of morons and 7447 is full of mahjong gods, or my luck is insanely weird.

>>3477437
>7447
>full of mahjong gods
DOES NOT COMPUTE

>>3477131

happens quite often. lots of idiots deal out dora tiles and the next thing you know, someone rons and gets 12000 points.

dora 4 ura-dora 4 chi toi tsu 12 hans.

fucking missed 1 han for the win..was counting on an ippatsu but didn't happen.

played under noname because my registered nick expired and won't let me play on 0000 unless i pay.

>>3478114
>played under noname because my registered nick expired and won't let me play on 0000 unless i pay.

nice excuse for botting, faggot. At least it didn't work

>>3478141
Huh, elaborate

I came back after three weeks of playing Magic: the Gathering, and got 4th place. Thought my skills had deteriorated. But then I played another game today, and got 1st with a ridiculously huge margin. I'm not sure what to think.

5 dora rinshan kaihou for comeback win from last place.

I don't come to /jp/ alot, but I've been wanting to try to play this. Do you make these threads often? I'm going to read the stuff in your post right now and hopefully I will be able to play in a day or two.

>>3479229
There's usually a mahjong thread going at all times on /jp/.

touka bump

No one is there.
Fuck this.

>>3480575
In other news, I just Tsumo'd straight after a kan.

>>3480575
7447 is dead. better to play in the 0000 lounge.
there is just too many slow players most of us can't fanthom. also, there is one prick that cheats using multiple accounts.

>>3476040
yep
they do like to recycle stuff

One player needed.

One more for 3p.

FFFFFFFF

>>3481048
Yeah I've been playing mostly in 0000 lately, it's pretty challenging compared to 7447, at least for me.

>>3481900
hahaha.
That is what you get for calling riichii.

>>3481900
Why would you call a riichi when you can discard the 9p if you get a 13 sided wait? In before that replay.

>>3481900
I'll never understand how an open toitoi tanyao 1 akadora is worth 14000.

>>3482041
dealer bro.

Is there a way to observe a live game? I read the rules but it's still utterly confusing.

>>3482041
It includes the 2 riichi sticks that are on the table.

Nump for 3P!

>>3482078
http://rapidshare.com/files/60276460/Saikyo_no_3D_Mahjong-JP.rar
Play against the AI for a bit, that'll help you get the hang of things. Animu helps too, I guess.
As far as observing LIVE games goes, I'm not sure you can do that, but I think you can watch a replay of a game when it's over, somehow.

>>3482078
In L0000, the 5th tab allows you to spectate "live" games (they are delayed about 5-10 mins or so). You can also view replays of your own games assuming you have registered in the 6th tab.

>>3481900

i don't think you would have gotten the hatsu tiles. I don't see any in the discard pool which means someone is hoarding them. probably both players have the pair or someone has 3 and 1 other from the dead wall. you shouldn't have called richii because your winning tile hasn't been discarded before by another player. only use this tactic if the winning tile has been previously discarded and you plan to trick them into dealing them out. otherwise, you are out of luck.

Let's get some more in 7447.

quickest hand ever. lolololol :D :D :D

this time i did this right..by winning.

bump 2 more needed

im drinking this should be good

>>3485972
only one

>>3485221
why did you get that much for a honitsu, yakuhai3?

>>3485999
Because it's a Daisangen.

GG エーロン
but that sudden ryanpeiko ippatsu tsumo was my luck.
yet you didn't make it easy

>>3486124
man i just couldn't get a hand that game.

>>3486134
That is why it's called gambling.
You need a good deal of luck too.

This hand was full of it.

>>3486124
GG speedwagon. I honestly thought I had that match.

need players

Please help /jp/!

This is from a game I played just now...I drew 5 sou and expected to be able to call riichi and discard 2 pin for a 3,6 wait, but the button did not show up...am I missing something here?

>>3486244
Curious, that a tanyao right there.

>>3486244
Nothing that I can see but you should rather discard a sou and go for an ipeiko if you're not too far into the game.

>>3486244
that screenshot didn't include your points

>>3486244
You can't declare riichi in the last round, I'm guessing.

>>3486297
this
or you just didn't had at least 1000 points to be able to call riichi

>>3486295
>>3486311
Thanks guys. I can't believe I didn't take into account that I had EXACTLY ZERO POINTS LEFT. Yeah, I have a long way to go...

I just started playing a few days ago, I'm not HORRIBLE and I understand all the basics, been practicing with that "saikyo no 3d mahjong". Anyway Is there a guide for playing on the site?
I wont ragequit

Holy shit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJx9n-Itl8I

Also, anybody knows where I can find some explanations/videos on how to start a Mahjong game IRL? I've been playing in Tenhou for quite a lot of time, but I have no idea on how to prepare a game.

hey thanks for making a pointless kan after I declared riichi it is basically why I won that game! fuck yes 7447

>>3486407
Thanks bro. Guess I'm not as bad as I thought, played a random 4player game and won :3

Feels good man

>>3486781
Lucky thing you're playing against complete beginners, otherwise no one would have dealt into that obvious Honroutou.

>>3486822
Yeah I always expected more from 0000, it seems pretty random. Either you meet someone really good, or complete retards. Too bad 7447 is always dead when i wanna play

>>3486781

Why does that feel good, it's an okay hand that didn't even get you into first place?

>>3486849
well I've had a really bad streak lately, always getting interrupted by shit hands when I have something good coming. I was one away from an all green hand and some douche won on a 2000 point hand.

>>3486822
>complete beginners, otherwise no one would have dealt into that obvious Honroutou.
>riichi

>>3486901
>riichi

Here's the problem. No sane person would call a riichi with that hand.

Bump for players

>>3486963
I would, a lot of people I've played against actually take apart their own hands to play safe tiles.

>>3487293
that is however under the premise that no body is in tenpai.

>>3486963
You have to. It wouldn't be worth anything else.

I was just playing a 3 player game on there and people including me were always doing that thing with north. But what does it mean?

>>3487356
North counts as a dora in 3P.

age

>>3486963
You have to call riichi or else you have no yaku.

>>3487420
Only 11 tiles?

What kanji are used for gampai? 眼牌?

>>3487488
She could have made a kan/pon.

Does anyone know where I can find an open source graphic of a mahjong tileset? I'm working on a mahjong doujin game, but I don't want to just copy the tile graphics from Tenhou. And I'm horrible with drawing Chinese characters, so making them myself is out of the question.

>>3487705
I don't know. It would be 眼 but they usually use katakana for gan.

>>3487312
That's why you shouldn't take the risk of dealing into a baiman just for a riichi pinfu hand. You better keep your discards safe with some well done betaori and end up in noten.

>>3487488
She called a 2-3-4 sou chi.

>>3487734
Look at the screenshot. Unless you played in or spectated the game, you can't know when people were in tenpai other than the riichi after 7tiles.

>>3487773
You can tell from the way they put down the tile.

>>3487828
that's not true

You are worse than Hitler.

Next tourney should have a shodan/1kyu lower limit. Random fags who can't play fuck everything up and let bots like phoz win games.

Oh wow, I got fucking destroyed.

Why does 7447 always kick my ass?

>>3485999

大三元. Yakuman.

>>3487930
You still believe I use bots? HAHAHAHA...dumb fuck. No wonder you suck so bad.

So is there any point in playing with a registered account?

>>3488368
Only because it's obvious

>>3488368
Get to 4th dan, then come back with that. Oh wait, you're too stupid to figure out how to play on tenhou for free.

Did the entire room just die?

>>3488426

Except the game isn't free after the trial expires when you register the account. You have to pay the one time fee to continue to gain access to the official servers. 2 dan is easily achievable before the trial period ends. In order to get 4 dan rank and higher, you have to pay this one time fee to keep playing.

Besides, no one gives a shit about ranking. It means nothing. Experience >>> rank.

>>3489027

you can play using the economy client forever without having to pay. payment isn't one-time only, either, it's 525 yen per month.

>>3489027
This is completely false. Tenhou is free unless you are too stupid to keep using the premium client. Just pick economy from the droplist on the flash client.

You only have to pay to play in houou ranked games, which are >=7dan/R2000 so you don't need to worry.

All this talk about free or not is confusing me

So I have a registered ID, it keeps track of my stats and shit, I play in my browser with the flash version.....it's free forever right?!

>>3489091
Yes.
http://arcturus.su/tenhou/ids-ranks.html

>>3489027
Okay, I've been playing mahjong for about 20 years, what now.

>>3489308
It's something that happens when someone gets dealt a bunch of 1's, 9's, and honors. They have the choice to re-deal the the tiles or not.

lol @ phoz playing with himself. Isn't it sad?

those noname guys aren't me. i was just curious if they were bots. they quit after 2 rounds.

>>3490352
no phoz, you are the bot

sure enough, i see TRA in the lounge so yeah...failed bots.

>>3490352

I was waiting for a game before getting suckered into a brief chore. I did one hand to get back to 35k before quitting to argue with someone in another thread.

>>3490352
Then why did you continue playing? Does it feel good to waste time beating up nothing?

phoz discarded a 3m. The player to his right drew and discarded a xia. There were bots in the lobby. He didn’t see them, but had expected them now for days. His warnings to /jp/ were not listenend to and now it was too late. Far too late for now, anyway.
phoz was a pro mahjong player for several months. When he was young he watched the mahjong anime and he said to dad “I want to be a mahjong player daddy.”
Dad said “No! You will BE CHEAT BY BOTS”
There was a time when he believed him. Then as he got oldered he stopped. But now in the 7447 lobby of tenhou he knew there were bots.
“This is /jp/” the lobby chat showed. “You must fight the bots!”
So phoz gotted his east seat and stacked the wall.
“HE GOING TO CHEAT US” said the bots
“I will riichi at him” said the yakuhaiponbot and he declared riichi. phoz riichied at him and tried to bluff him. But then the other two bots declared riichi and the match ended in a draw with no one able to win.
“No! I must cheat the bots” he shouted
The lobby chat said “No, phoz. You are the bots”
And then phoz was a bot.

wtf TRA..stop winning with cheap hands!

>>3490410
lolumad that I can beat you in ＣＨＡＭＰＩＯＮＳＨＩＰＳ?

The point is to gather all the Mahjong related posts in a single thread about Mahjong instead having four of them. Are you knew here or something, I mean, is this the first time you see a tenhou thread? They usually reach 250 posts, then when the limit is reached a new one is created.

Is there any way to rewatch the Sakurai Shoichi nicovideo broadcast from last night?

7447 is full of newbies.
0000 is full of experienced players hence winning isn't very easy.

I need to learn to read peoples hands better. Fuck I keep dealing risky tiles. The only way I know a tile is safe is if A. the other 3 are in the pond already or B. the tile in question is in his or her pond.

I pretty much never deal tiles where no other of its kind have been dealt, but I still get ron'd.

How does I read discards?
