Wow, get outta here. Seriously, internet 4p?

Any way to practice offline or something?
The rules are too hard to learn from just reading

Hot damn, people queueing for Nashi. It's a chrismas miracle. Also why 9999 and not 7447 like normal?

The general goal is just to get four sets of threes and one pair.

A set can be 1,2,3 or three of the same numbers.

This is my first time making a thread on /jp/ and I just wanted to play Mahjong. I saw a /jp/ mahjong thread some time ago but I didn't know there was a lobby where /jp/ specifically played. I didn't see any threads either so I decided to make one.

Thanks guys, we got a game going finally.

The only thing I don't understand in Mahjong really is the scoring. I know the yakuman hands and I even got them before. That feeling was great. I know about the Dora, although the one you flip over I haven't bothered memorizing because it's not like I'll go outside my room.

What determines a Mangan, Baiman, or just 2000 points.

>>9237985
Yaku each have a certain amount of Han. Build up that to be a Mangan or a Baiman. The actual points are caluculated by a combination of the han and fu.
Really, it's complicated. Luckily Tenhou does all the calculation for you.

Can you get any luckier?

>>9238219
Holy shit that game. I was making stupid mistakes left and right but god damn if she didn't just destroy everyone in her 2nd dealer round. Doesn't help that the person across from me didn't seem to know the rules, though.

>>9237985

I had so many hands that could have been something. The person across from me either ended the rounds early with crap hands or got really lucky.

start a game, dealer leaves

>>9238234
You can blame Akkarin.

>>9238245
I had to go to the bathroom, sorry

>>9238252
Get out of /jp/ if you dont piss on the floor.

>>9238006
How do I calculate Han, Yaku and Fu. I don't even know what they are. I heard them before but.. No clue what they are exactly and no clue how to calculate them.

By the way, what's a 3 color straight? I should probably google this stuff. One second...

>>9238401

im in, duno how to read anything since its all in japanese? just clicking these boxes which i assume are rooms

>>9238426
http://arcturus.su/tenhou/

>>9238421
Too confusing, too long. Can't read...

is there a chat box or something? if I join the main lobby feels like im playing with bots

20k Big Points!

riichi every round 2strong

Bleh, after I lost that all terminals and honors hand, I couldn't focus enough to even avoid the stupidest mistakes. Also Birdget, what was with that furiten hand that you made?

>>9238464
>>9238463

I only know that the goal is to get 4 sets and a pair. I don't know specific hands so I just played by that goal. I learned that you can have a hand of all pairs today.

This hand lol

dang these rooms fill up slow

;_;

>>9238492
Not quite as disheartening as yours but it made me sad.

ggs

asdssa here, gg might be back later

>>9238610

Likewise. Are there any special hands that don't follow the general 4 sets, 1 pair rule?

>>9238622
i only know these two off the top of my head

chitoitsu, all pairs

kokushi musou, 1 and 9 of each suit plus all honours and 1 more of any of those tiles

Lucky Rinshan Kaihou.
This should apply the pao rule.

I'm up for more if anyone else is

Also what do the completely red tiles mean and how does Kan work?

>>9238662
red tiles are akadora, they work the same way as a regular dora
one 5 from each suit is red

if someone declares a Kan they draw from the dead wall, it also results in one less tile drawn from the main wall

>>9238662
red fives add you 1 han (is just like having an extra dora)
what you don't understand about Kan?

>>9238662

Why did I get so many points from this hand. My friend is telling me because I got a closed triplet wind of my own wind and the round wind. I don't understand completely. Also because I was east?

dealer gets bonus points when they win a round, they also lose more points when they deal into others

>>9238701
Dealer Mangan ( 5 yakus )
Check this list:
>>9238229

>>9238707
Dealer only loses more points when someone else wins with a Tsumo.

>>9238712
>5 yakus
5 han

>2:0

Making dinner right now

Try lobby 7447

Also for more information on the tenhou interface, reference to this

http://arcturus.su/tenhou/lobbies-games.html

>>9239173
7447 is filled with /a/nons

Can someone explain me this shit?
I was on Riichi and this guy called Kan with my winning tile, but i didn't get the ron option.
Just what the hell happened?

>>9240358

Chankan is for upgraded kans only, not ankans.

>>9240362
Alright.
Didn't know about that.
Thanks.

The only nerds who still play mahjong are the nerds who belong on /a/.

Tenhou is so 2008.

>>9240373
what a hater

>>9240381

>>9240383

bump for 3p!

>>9241654
>3p
n-no thank you

bump for some Nashi/Ari red fast players.

What lobby are we doing? Also I prefer ari red

Birdget here. Good game.

Can someone explain to me why this hand was worth so much?

>>9242846
You're East so you have a 50% point bonus. Also, the East triple is both your wind and the round wind, so it's 2 han. Next you have 3 dora (1 red, 2 regular).

Total of 5 han means mangan : 8000, or 12000 when you're dealer.

Also, that was me you ron'd here. Thought I'd discard the East before it gets dangerous, wasn't expecting a tenpai at the 3rd turn...

>>9242860
I meant "三枝葉留佳" when I said "you". Didn't look at the screenshot carefully.

I'm going to take a break for now, I'll be back later for more games.

what happened to 7447?

>9999
What?

>>9242934
>>9242956
We're playing at 7447.

I would like to play some nashi.
Open Tan Yao hands are just stupid

>>9243022
the one with scrub?

>>9243022
>Open Tan Yao hands are just stupid
They aren't. When you have a shit hand and can't see it getting any better it's a good idea to play defensively and go for open tanyao.
Of course sometimes beginners will ruin games by always playing open tanyao but a good player won't be beaten by that. If you just get a good hand once that'll make up for like 7 open tanyao.

Anyone up for Janryumon?

Can someone tell me what I should do when everyone starts to call tiles like mad?
I really lose track of whats going on when everyone spams Pon and Chii.

>>9246932
What do you mean, what should you do? You don't really have to change the way you play. All it means is that their hands are progressing, and open calls give you a hint as to what they're aiming for.

>>9245890
Is there a /jp/ or 4chan or english-speaking Janryumon room or anything?

>>9246932
Generally, when someone has 2 open melds, then there's a pretty good chance they are in tenpai so you may want to play defensively to them if you think they're ahead of you. If you assume they're in tenpai, you have more info on whether to push or fold than you would if someone riichis - it might be apparent that they are going for a particularly valuable hand (dora showing, all same suit, etc) or a particularly weak hand (looks like tanyao w/ most dora already in the discards or your hand). You may normally want to fold your mangan hand 1 away from tenpai to a riichi, but if instead you can see that tenpai opponent probably only has a 1000-2000 point hand, it's easy to decide that it's worth the risk to go ahead with your 8000 point hand.

If all 3 opponents are calling tiles like crazy, I say play carefully, bide your time and let them ron off each other until you are dealer or you have a potentially fast vauable hand. Don't think that you need to suddenly rush your hand into tanyao-only to compete with everyone else who is doing the same thing - wait till you have dealer advantage or some dora or something before you rush against them.

>>9246932
Always imagine your complete hand when the game starts and then brute force your way to victory. Trust me it works.

>>9248929
>Is there a /jp/ or 4chan or english-speaking Janryumon room or anything?
Nothing standard, but sometimes /a/ will use a code like "subara" or "lesbians" or something.

>>9246932
When the game allows you to call something, call it.

Wish Tenhou allowed you to view games in progress while waiting for one to start.

>>9249570
You can. Click one of the tabs.

>>9249592

I know how to view a game in progress by using the second tab. However, if there's a way to queue for a new game and still be able to watch one going on at the same time, I have yet to figure it out.

>>9249623
2 tabs genius

http://tenhou.net/0/?L7447, need 2 more
