Mahjong apprentice Anonymous Tue Nov 3 07:33:34 2009 No.3660807 [Reply] [Original]

Now, I've only recently begun getting interested in Mahjong, thanks to a friend of mine introducing it to me.I understand the rules in the most basic fashion, I can tell which tiles are which, I know the basic hands and so forth.

I was wondering where I could get some experience in actually playing the game. There aren't any Mahjong clubs in my area, so I restricted mainly to the internet.

What I have learned is based on the japanese mahjong style, so that is why I bring this question to /jp/.

For Japanese riichi mahjong tenhou is the best.

I highly recommend going to #mahjong on irc (rizon obviously). Guys there are helpful and really want to teach the game they love to anyone interested.

And for playing, tenhou is the best.
Guys from #mahjong usually play on http://tenhou.net/0/?L7447
If you want somewhere where there are always people try http://tenhou.net/0/ most people there are Japanese though.

>>	Anonymous Tue Nov 3 07:41:34 2009 No.3660831 Are there any options out there other then Tenhou? I gave it a try at one point and it was... Really very fast. It was a bit hard to keep up with what was happening in the game.

>>	Anonymous Tue Nov 3 07:42:34 2009 No.3660834 Not OP, but does anyone know where I can download a Saki-themed mahjong game? I saw screencaps from one in the past and it looked awesome.

>>	Anonymous Tue Nov 3 08:05:34 2009 No.3660903 >>3660885 Wow, this is pretty perfect, I'll start reading all of it over. Maybe tenhou will be easier to play in if I know how to navigate it. At least I'll be able to observe games with this guide.

This really depends on who's online at the time, you may either get help, be completely ignored, or trolled.
>>3660831
Play slow games. Check the translation of the lobby menu on arcturus to see which ones are non-fast and play there.

>>	Anonymous Tue Nov 3 10:05:34 2009 No.3661180 >>3661172 The later part of the post is true. But if you ask any mahjong related questions, they will answer. Still, a mahjong channel where like 90% of the talk is about the weather in Boston or some shit gets kinda annoying after a while.

>>	Anonymous Tue Nov 3 10:10:34 2009 No.3661195 >>3661172 This guy is telling the truth. The only mahjong related thing in the channel is the bot putting out Tenhou result and games. I have seen more world series discussion rather mahjong discussion from the time I lurk there.

>>	Anonymous Tue Nov 3 10:12:34 2009 No.3661199 >>3661180 Chatrooms are never on topic without excessive moderation that sucks the fun out.

people on #mahjong are not new to the game, but we/they are not exactly what you'd call a "pro."

We/they discussed mahjong there in the past but its not interesting to talk about the same thing over and over again.
I expect something to happen again when Mudazumo airs, but right now the channel seems to be frozen.

>>	Anonymous Tue Nov 3 15:16:34 2009 No.3662392 >>3660838 This saki game, does it come in Non-Moonrunes?

>>	Anonymous Tue Nov 3 15:20:34 2009 No.3662407 >>3662392 Nope. Don't think there is anything that need translated. The dialogues are all just ero scenes. Just use imagination bro. Search the archive, I believe some anons pointed out what each of the special or items that you can buy before does.

>>	Anonymous Tue Nov 3 15:24:34 2009 No.3662430 Guess this is the actual mahjan thread so bumping for single queue on nashi and ari red.

>>	Anonymous Tue Nov 3 15:32:34 2009 No.3662450 The fact that ##mahjong still has a bunch of people there amazes me.

Anonymous Tue Nov 3 15:54:34 2009 No.3662581

Talking about mahjong is boring unless you have some interesting insights to share. "So you did this? Well, you're doing it wrong" gets old really fast. Of course it's hard to get a decent discussion going, there's really nothing worth saying, it's as pointless as discussing anime and manga. Also itt beato, osamu, speedwagon
