Please read 2-3 sites before playing and even then try the singleplayer games first.
Playing without knowing what you do is not only frustrating for yourself but also for your opponents, a player that left because he couldn't ron for his no Yaku hand or because someone ron'd his discard just kills the whole fun for everyone.

Usually, a game lasts around 30 minutes, so please, if you're not going to stay until the end, respect the other players and don't join a new game.

Also keep in mind that Mahjong is more a game of "not losing" than straightforward winning.
Furthermore you play with 3 other people and luck plays a big part in it, so don't expect to win more than 1 out 4 games, especially not as a beginner.

If you read some of the linked sites and still have questions feel free to ask.

I wasn't even aware you could chi in 3p...

[Akagi !C6qWh73Y.g No.]

>>7012006
You can't. when I run games amongst friends I play 3p or 2p just like 4p. I don't usualy chii, because I am a riichi whore, but the mere fact that you can't bothers me.

>Are mahjong threads common on /jp/?
Yeah, but there are times when they are filled with 300 replies, and times were they fall off the board without even being bumped once. But I'd say there are around fifteen L7447 regular players or so on /jp/, and when they're playing, the thread lives a bit longer. Also It's been a while since we've seen any new players. Since the golden "Norwayfag VS KoG" era. I guess our good old textwall OP keeps the noephytes away, which is a bit sad.

[Akagi !C6qWh73Y.g No.]

I think I will end up being a new veteran player for 7447. I've been using it a lot through /a/. My name is AkagiKun on tenhou, I hope people have noticed me by now.

I've found that chankans are about 10 times more rare than rishan kaihou. It 's only happened to me once. While I get a rishan kaihou about once a week in 4p.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7012285
Naturally. Potentially, a large number of tiles can be eligible for winning when drawing the rinshan tile, whereas with chankan there's only that single tile.

It's not so rare when you chankan a North wind in 3p, since most players will use up that North wind almost immediately. I'm looking at you, beato, and I'm still buttmad over it.

Same here, when you get used to 3p, 4p really feels plain and slow. I like both, but I can't enjoy playing as many 4p games in a row as 3p games.

Just went to kick some nips ass.
This guy was just doing damaten 24/7 even though when he is in tenpai without yaku.
In the end, I got a cumback victory because he doesnt have a yaku even though I played the winning tile.
What do you guys think about such a safe and boring playstyle? I cant never play this because I like to take risk.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7038619
>3p
>skill and strategy
Choose 1.

I don't have most of my pictures on this computer but for example, how often do you pass up winning / aim for certain people with hidden tenpai in 3 player, never? Figured. How often do you have a chance at a big hand, but trash it because you can't deal a single tile in 3 player? Often. But why you ask, because you always have fucking big hands. How fucking boring is that.

You will never know the joy of getting a yakuman in the dan and 4+ dan 4 player rooms, which is the mahjong equinoctial of getting laid by that girl you really like because she has a lot of the same interests as you but has a boyfriend who drinks every night and is failing out of school.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7038656
You need more skill in 3P compare to 4P.
I am not even trolling. It is so hard to make a big hand in 4P that you will never have a chance to come back after a dealer tsumo mangan/haneman.
Just cause you grinded to 4dan doesnt mean you are good. I am not going to pay just to access the higher dan room.

In 3P you have to weight score/risk, aim for a specific guy, mind games to get the faggot to play your winning tiles and etc.
In 4P? Betaori forever and hope you get 2nd or first when you dealer ippatsu tsumo.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7038693
>It is so hard to make a big hand in 4P that you will never have a chance to come back after a dealer tsumo mangan/haneman.
Bullshit. A dealer haneman puts you at a definite advantage but is in no way a guarantee you'll win. Mangans aren't rare at all.

>In 3P you have to weight score/risk, aim for a specific guy, mind games to get the faggot to play your winning tiles and etc.
You just described 4P, I think.

>In 4P? Betaori forever and hope you get 2nd or first when you dealer ippatsu tsumo.
Betaori forever and rely on luck? Hardly, knowing when to start taking apart your hand is and when to take risks are integral parts of mahjong. I'm sure 3P isn't much different in that regard.

I've never played 3P myself but I'm under the impression that the vocal parts of the "4P crowd" overstate its simplicity. Sure, it's easier to make huge hands but that holds true for the opponents as well. On a similar note, the "3P crowd" seems to have some really oddball opinions of normal play. Nothing that has been said of why it's supposedly boring (or "requires less skill", that one was new) has really struck home with me.

I guess I should try 3P sometime but it doesn't seem very interesting to me. To each their own.
