They aren't.
The enclave threads are leaking.

Hello all. I don't post here much but i wanted to see if anyone knows where i can play some Mahjong online.

Someone linked a site in /a/ the other day. It was tohoe.te or something like that. I am at work otherwise i would just go through my history and find it.

Some time ago someone posted here a tutorial or something for beginners on how to play mahjong, but obviously I lost the link. Anyone got some reliable/good sources where should I start (all i was able to google was crap-ish).

Ok, this might be a feeble reason, but after watching Akagi I desperately want to try playing Japanese Mahjong now against somebody. Any of you play or know some programs/websites that let me play against others?

Serious question, /jp/. Hear me out.

I started taking some mahjong tutorials, and the game seems pretty interesting. I never finished Akagi, but now I'll definitely have to. Because I'm that big of a faggot.

Anyway, onto my question: which set of rules should I learn? I mean, which do people use more in Amerikkka? I've been using the set that's apparently the most popular: the Hong Kong rules.

Hey /jp/

I was playing mahjong today and guess what happened?

Some bitch named Nora decided to play by her own rules!

Here is what happened
:
"I'm Atomic," Nora announced.

"Huh?" asked Esther.

"You know, Atomic. Seven pairs, no jokers or flowers. Fifty cents if I make it."

"Anybody know what she's talking about?" Esther asked, looking at the card to no avail.

Wesley did. "Some folks call it Bionic. Either way, we don't play that way. We play straight NMJL rules."

Nora was incredulous. "Everybody plays Atomic. My mother played Atomic. It's the way the game is played." Wesley showed her the official rulebook.

"It's not in here. It's a table rule. If you want to use an Atomic rule, the whole table has to agree."

Nora was flabbergasted. A vote was taken. Esther thought it sounded like fun. I said I didn't like deviating from the rules. Wesley said he was flexible, but told Nora, "The vote isn't unanimously in favor. We aren't playing Atomic."

Nora was clearly flustered and upset. But she calmed down... eventually.
