>>11732759
How do you even get 15 tiles?

>>11732764
That's the joke.

>>11732764
You forget to discard, then only pay attention to the sequences you have instead of total number of tiles, and only realize when you're close to tenpai. Happened to me. Solution: hide one tile until the end of the game and pretend nothing happened.

>>11732778
Are you playing with retards?

>>11732782
Not really. We're just, you know, casual.

>>11732778
>>11732764
I didn't even notice she had an extra tile. I was mainly being upset about why that isn't an actualy hand since it totally looks like one.

Well that explains it.

>>11733361
It's Churenpoto with an extra 1 or 9

I've never played Mahjong so why should I start now?

>>11732759
I don't know how Mahjong is played, so what did cirno do wrong?

>>11734668
she has an extra tile so that hand doesn't actually mean anything despite looking really impressive
furthermore she should get a penalty

>>11735275
And those penalties are killer, since you basically fucked everyone else over in the process

>>11734577
Play Shogi

>>11737149
Only weeaboos and old people play shogi.

Fun fact: Chess is more popular than shogi in Japan.

I spent $50 on a set of mahjong tiles and about 5 hours of my life learning how to play, and I couldn't convince my friends to play with me. It actually made me very sad.

>>11745867
Yeah, most people are reluctant to try unfamiliar games where they have to learn a bunch of rules, especially if it's as alien-looking as Mahjong.

>>11745867
Teach them just how to make 4 triplets and a pair and ignore all the stuff about yaku requirements and scoring. I find it fun enough to play in groups with forced tenpai declarations and basic hand making. Lots of people know how to play rummy. Just play it like that. The more complex stuff can come after.

>>11745907
This is a bad idea, because you're just setting them up to say "these new rules are complicated, I liked it the other way!" And then for the rest of their lives, they'll be playing a watered-down fast food version of mahjong (and god forbid, teaching that version to others)

>>11745931
You think too lowly of others. If they find it fun, they'll want to learn the more complex rules.
If they don't, then you shouldn't be trying to force them to play.

Let's play a game /jp/

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.

You do have it memorized... right?

>>11746375
nope! I need to though.
It's too easy to let the computer just calculate my score and to not think about which hand would be better and just pick something.

Lets bring back 3P
All these 4P shit is boring as fuck.

>>11745805
But Shogi is easier to learn and just as fun as Mahjong.

>>11755812
pon palace?

I remember now why I stopped playing on tenhou. There's just too few high rate players in the dan lobby. A few continuous loses and your rate is gone.
I just made 4 dan, with a rate of 1639.

Is there anything I can do? I already play at the nip peak hours, hoping for "better" players.

>>11757549
Wrong prof, I'm an idiot.
Actual rate for my main acc is 1679.

>>11757549
If these stats are representative of how you play on your main then I would advise you adept the strategy of aiming to get 2nd and avoiding 4th places like the plague. But given that you made it to 4dan I doubt that's the case.

It can be really easy while the number of games you played are still low, say 200ish. But it's true that it becomes almost impossible if your count gets too high.

Maybe you should try your luck in some odd hours, I've seen plenty of 1900-2000 guys (who lost their 4dan rank and are forced to downgrade) play there regularly in US evening/afternoon time.

The rate will come eventually but the real problem is not going down in rank because of the diminishing rewards.

Don't feel bad if you're having a hard time. It's mostly luck even if you play considerably well/constant.

>>11757669
>Don't feel bad if you're having a hard time. It's mostly luck even if you play considerably well/constant.
Unless you cheat. Which tenhou does nothing to prevent in any way other than the same IP limit.

You're already using minhoulib. Just setup a laptop with it, route through VPN/proxy, done. If you throw in 1 or 2 rigged games here and there and no-one's gonna notice.

Other than http://www.gamedesign.jp/flash/mahjong/mahjong_e.html is there an offline way of playing to practice? I know there are some PSP games or something like that, but any alternatives?

>>11759035
You could do 2hu mahjong, but that also has cheating 2hu powers so it might not be the best if you want to actually learn the game.

>>11759035
if you have an iOS device you can download Janryumon, i dont know the specifics about the AI, but its good to practice tile efficiency under the pressure (you only get 5 seconds to pick a discard), its good to kill some time

it also has online matchmaking but the servers are closing soon sadly, next year before february

>>11746391

>>11778430
Maybe because they're watching for something else than HS.

>>11778493
Oh my.

>>11778501
I wouldn't count on another group to do it. Few groups want to sub it probably because of mahjong terminology, and underwater-mahjong delayed subbing Achiga for a year so I'm not waiting for them again.

Who knows though, maybe some group will step up and rid us of HS.

Aislinn very cute.

>>11778546

>>11757549
Judging by those stats, you should be looking for worse players rather than better ones. Even if that's not your main account, R1679 is quite low for 4d. The average is R1828.

>>11757669
>I've seen plenty of 1900-2000 guys (who lost their 4dan rank and are forced to downgrade)
It's more likely that they're tokujou-level players who are grinding new accounts.

I stopped playing on tenhou because the 4th place avoidance crap wasn't fun. It should be based on points and mean place like on the monthly rankings.

Kokushi Musou destroying all my hopes and dreams.

Does anyone know where one could find videos of tournament play?

What's a good place to buy a set of tiles that are of this size? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ID7Elq_UtOQ

Every site I've found so far only has those small tiles for sale.

Let's keep this thread till Christmas!

>>11735684
Didn't a dude get kicked out of a tournament for fucking sighing? They take those penalties seriously

>>11745867
My yellow mountain set sits on my desk collecting dust, I've only ever played one hand with it and only with 3 players. I swear no one in Portland plays riichi, just American and Chinese

>>11746375
No but I printed that exact scoring table and put it in my mahjong case. Still not used to counting fu

>>11796896
im in a similar situation but i dont care, i happy i got my yellow mountain set

>>11799420
Oh yeah I'm not sad I got it still, it's beautiful and I like practicing handling the tiles and setting up walls. I just wish I could find a group to play a hanchan with once a week

The fuse has been lit

>>11796896
Get old Asian women friends. Friend's stepmom invites friends over and they play all the time

>>11807501
Or if you can carry yourself outside, befriend some old wrinkly white folks at your nearest mahjong club that plays riichi. I don't know how it is in America but in western Europe there are quite a few clubs you could check out.

>>11790860
Why do they have 2 doras right from the beginning? Is this some tournament rule? Why do they want to make the game even more RNG-based than it already is?

Welp, Still got a Yakuman hand.

>>11807520
>>11807501

In America old people only play American or Chinese mahjong.

I was going through some old screenshots and found this. What were some of your most undeserving wins?

>>11809878
That does not look like an undeserved win to me. The opposite, in fact.

>>11809896
If I hadn't gotten the ippatsu, tsumo or the 4s I wouldn't have won, that's why I think it was undeserved. Too many luck factors were involved.

>>11809906
And if you'd have gotten a better hand earlier, you'd have won more decisively. Luck is involved from start to finish, it's mahjong.

You have no control over most things in the game, the whole point is to maximize your chances and hope for the best. A high-scoring hand means you constructed it well. It doesn't matter that it could have been worth less if another tile came up. And it's not like you had any reasonable immediate way to improve it at that point.

More importantly, one thing you do have a reasonable degree of control over is not dealing into others' hands. You did that exactly zero times in a 13-game match. This alone makes that win fully deserved.

>>11809943
Not dealing in isn't so hard on its own, it's not dealing in while still completing several hands that's more challenging and I didn't do any of that in this game. I can't remember exactly how the game went but assuming those wins weren't all very early wins, anyone could've played 100% safe tiles and achieved the same.

That hand had a minimum of 2 han and an absolute maximum of baiman, getting away with a haneman is already extremely generous of the Tenhou gods especially considering I did nothing for the rest of the game.

>>11809969
Well, you can certainly judge your own play better than someone who just looks at the score. If you know you sucked for the rest of the match, fair. The screenshot does not tell that story to me, though. It can just as well mean a 12 game long drought of winning opportunities that you did not allow to sink you.

>>11796896
I was going to buy a set but then I remembered nobody in my area plays

I have been winning too much lately /jp/.

>>11811919

This. Fucking smurfs

Fuck you tanechan, I was sitting on a riichi with a monster chi-toi hand.
FUCK YOU

I can never seem to memorize any yaku. How do you people do it?

>>11817419
git gud

>>11817419
Think about any arrangement of tiles that feels/looks like it would be tricky to get.

It's probably a yaku.

The only yaku that are hard to remember (for me at least) are ryanpeiko and daichisei. They're the only yaku I've yet to see in an actual game (excluding the ridiculous ones like tenhou)

question for pros:

I'm in tenpai
they're in tenpai

what the fuck do I do

>>11817516

Decide if keeping your hand is worth the risk of dealing in. Look at the scores, how late it is in the game, whether your winning tiles are safe against them, how many winning tiles you have left in the game, etc.

>>11817516

>>11818083

I had a board game night at my house last night, it was fun. My brother wanted to play Mahjong, but the other folks felt too intellectually tired (we had just played a 2+ hours very complicated economic euro game, heh) to learn it.

We ended up playing a 2-player variant I'd come up with, and it was quite enjoyable. He agreed to only play a few hands, but each hand I won he'd say, "One more hand!" after.

Basically, it uses only 2 suits, and only the 1 through 8 of each suit. All dragons, only the East and South winds. If you tsumo, you just "get" your point value, if you ron, you take it from the other player's score. So a ron is basically twice as many points, which gives the incentive for defensive play, even in a 2 player game. Also, the dead wall was bigger proportionally. We used Zung Jung rules, btw, not riichi (since I hate riichi mahjong).

>>11755695
"Retard master" is /a/'s nickname for the character Hiroe Atago from the moe mahjong anime "Saki"

>>11823699
>I hate riichi mahjong

Let me get my pitchfork.

You should have just played minefield mahjong. It's perfect for 2 people.

>>11823391
How much did you pay for them?

Holy shit, I'm never getting this again.

>>11824712
equivalent of $42 at an auction. The person selling them didn't really seem know what they were. The table is a bit fatigued from normal use, but I'm already working on restoring it (the scratches that were somewhat visible on top are now gone). Tiles are in pristine quality.

>>11825408
>I don't really care enough to go to anime cons anymore
Years ago, I felt that way too. But mahjong brought me back.

>>11825401
Oh good lord I need that statue

I bought an expensive mahjong set using Shopping Mall Japan as a middleman, and they keep ignoring my request to pay for it using the money in my deposit.
I just want my set.

>>11825401
Nano-chan is best girl.

>>11826261
having a set is the shit
youre really missing out man

>>11826261
Do they want cash?

>>11827466
Nah, they have the money, it's just in my deposit. I payed for other items like this and it worked fine. They're just ignoring me for some reason. If they wanted cash, they'd tell me probably.

>>11826261
i bought a take-set which is a bit over a hundred, but I can never find people to play so the tiles are just scattered around my table...

What kind of table do you nerds have? Is the junk mat good? Playing on something without a raised edge to push the tiles against sucks.

Do you guys actually play with your mahjong sets? I bought one a couple years ago but I didn't have anyone to play with.

>>11828383

When I was at uni we had a mahjong club and a guy there made tables himself. He sold them to members of the club for like $40 and they're pretty amazing. I doubt the supplies cost more than $15, so if you have any wood working experience, that's something to consider.

I've played on the junk mat before and it's good. It's easy to set up and the mat won't scratch up your tiles or anything. Having a place to put your point sticks is nice. It's a little expensive though, isn't it? If it's more than $30, I'd rather suck it up and play on a regular card table.

>>11828383
Highly recommended, if you wish to be mobile and able to set up at almost any table.

So anyone here play SegaNet MJ?

>>11832893
Tell me what it is and I might.

>>11825401
Such discards.

>>11832893
Only tonpuusen and 3p
Better indicator than Tenhou (dora, winning tile, tsumogiri/not, etc)
More Japan-like yaku announcement (mentanpin instead tsumo tanyao pinfu)
No replay link, only score records
Resource-heavy

Overall I still prefer Tenhou.

>>11833265
What about ranking?
Here's hoping it's not the 4th place avoidance crap tenhou does.

>>11833503
You can get negative rank points even since 9-kyuu rank.

>>11833503
Go play on JRM if you don't want to learn how to play well.

>>11833265
Another notes
There's a coin system that if you can get 5 matches in free mode with total score +100, you will get coins for 'premium match'. Don't know what it is, but I assume it's where you can get things like new clothes, etc.
Uma system and certain yaku like Renhou are decided differently, check rule page.

So yeah, pretty much it's like JRM. Not worthed if you only care about gameplay.

>>11833683
>Aim for 2nd place
>Get either 1st, 2nd, 3rd, sometimes 4th

So, my first real match was an 2p. Is this hand worth of any point?
Pic related.
1/3

>>11842902
I just want to say, there should only be 4 of any tile. It looks like that set has 4 of each regular Five, then Red Fives in addition. You're supposed to take a normal Five out (two for dots) when you put in the Red Fives.

2/3

3/3

>>11847213
If I were to die from a mahjong related epileptic seizure, then I would die happy.

I've been playing a game of mahjong each evening with a internet friend for some time now (AI fills the empty spots), we determine score by how we rank at the end of the game. So if he's in number 1 and I'm number 3, he'll get two points. This (and watching saki/akagi) got me interested in trying to find people to play riichi mahjong in real life but there is literally nobody around here in the netherlands. Every offical mahjong club only seems to play chinese mahjong ;_;

We've been using Elf all stars datsui-jan3 to play (over hamachi), has anyone heard of that? I downloaded it with the purest of intentions (strip mahjong) but it seems like not even the internet is truely aware of its existence.

Thanks guys. I went back and looked at the replay and you're right. After someone leaves every draw is just discarded. I'm kinda bummed because I thought I played really well (also lucky) and ended with +73. Heres my replay. I'm junkhand.

>>11852422
E1:
You discarded pei at the very beginning even though you had a pair. You discarded 5s from 335s. 9m and ton should've been discarded instead.

E2:
Going open with no yaku, then forcing toitoi. Bad bad idea. Also avoid declaring open kans when you don't need to. It just gives the other players more dora.

E2-1:
Toitoi again? Don't do that. It may seem like a fast yaku but it's really not.

E3:
Stubbornly holding onto yakuhai like that will slow down your hand a lot. Also it's risky to go open without your yaku confirmed - in this case it was sanshoku, but you did the same thing in E1 with hatsu.

E4:
Another toitoi, again on a single wait. You were lucky in this game, but the chance of winning with a single wait is quite low.

I'm going to stop here. Some general advice - stop trying to force toitoi. Don't open your hand so much. Read up on tile efficiency.

>>11852467
Thanks. Reading osamuko's article on tile effciency now.

>>11852422
East 2: You leave your hand without yaku after the 8m call, destroy the 789p set for no good reason, and then manage to escape with toi toi for no reason other than pure dumb luck.

East 2-1: Again, destroyed the 123p set for no good reason, questionable discards that break apart two-sided waits in favor of closed waits, break incomplete sets of tiles in favor of lone tiles, and end up 18 turns in without even tenpai

East 3: Worthless chii destroys an otherwise decent hand. Let go of the character tiles and go for riichi tanyao pinfu instead. With the dora 5m in your hand, you can get at least mangan on ippatsu, tsumo, or ura 1+. You're stuck in the end with a terrible no-yaku tenpai, which could have at least been tan'yao if you'd dropped the 9p instead of the 6p on turn 5

East 4: What the fuck did you break up 5567p into 556p for?

South 1: Discarding the 6s on turn 3 is far less effective than dropping the ungrouped 27m or 48p
The 6s can go with your 4s if you draw a 5s to make 456s

When you discarded 7m, 8p was a better choice because 8p goes only with 6789p while 7m goes with 456789m

South 3: Don't fuck around with kans when you don't need to. Increasing the number of dora mainly serves to work against you when you're in the lead. At this point, your main concern is protecting your points, rather than earning extra.

South 4: Stop wasting time with the chun and drop it already. Keeping it over other tiles like the 3m slowed your hand down and narrowed your waits. You also should have dropped the 9s over the 4s on turn 8. When you're this far in the lead, dora shouldn't matter to you. You would have been able to wait on completing the 45s with 36s (8 possible tiles) instead of waiting on 55p55s (4 possible tiles) while adding one han to your hand with pinfu.

>>11852531
Thanks. Having other people watch the replay and pointing these things out helps a lot.

I usually don't catch lot of my mistakes and now I'm noticing I got really lucky.

>>11852422
I got really embarrassed by that too. I thought I had played a perfect game but then when I watched the replay I realized everyone had disconnected after east 2.

I will dump the hands I got in another 2p match with another weeb.

akadora are like the random crits of mahjong

>>11861254
uradora

This is just pathetic.

>>11861471
I don't get it. Who are you complaining about?

South guy letting go of 1p...
West declaring another Kan, rinshan kaiho, new dora being a 9p.

Would still only be a baiman.

>>11861546
Mostly SHODAN breaking his 233445p shape for no discernible reason, ruining a decent dealer hand and calling into no-yaku furiten, then passing Wakanne the dora and eating a baiman ron with yakuhai + dora 6 revealed when he should have given up on his hand a long time ago.

>>11861546
Also, for open kans on Tenhou, kan dora is revealed after you discard the rinshan tile, so it wouldn't be factored in for rinshan kaihou.

>>11861565
I didn't know that.

Anyway, I think you forgot to post the replay. It's hard to determine what was happening from just a screencap.

>>11861581
I wasn't in the game, so I wouldn't have one, unfortunately.

But this his how that round ended: >>>/a/101335433

>>11861471
This is what happens when a new Saki season starts airing.

>>11861565
Is that an official rule or just another tenhou thing like renhou?

>>11861605
It's differs between rulesets.

>>11861607
>>11861605
I always played that way, must be common enough rule to make it to every guide I learned from.

Fuck it guys I'm not going anywhere. I've been going up/down between 3dan - 5 dan for over a year now.

I think I'm already playing my best. I could try a more aggressive strategy but I guess I could only judge if it is working on a new acc and I really don't feel like starting over.

>>11861627
Being able to maintain 4dan isn't bad. You can take pride in that and hope for more.

There's not much else to do really.

>>11861627
You can do it, anon! Aim for houou!

>>11861890
That's average for 4-dan players. How many games have you played?

>>11862011
2k+

>>11861461
I meant the red tiles. I don't know why I called them akadora--I don't know what they're called.

you are asking to get fucked by uradora if you deal into a riichi

but there's no predicting aka tiles. It's just stupid point inflation. This game depends on enough luck as it is. I don't need some gobshite's shitty open yakuhai hand turning into a mangan because he has some red turds mixed in that I couldn't possibly predict from his pond

>>11862489

But you have the same chance of getting them for your hands, so I don't see what the problem is. You could also say the same for dora in general. Go play Chinese style if you hate it.

>>11862489
They're called akadora.

can we not have shit like this

im trying to play mahjong

>tfw you tsumo after kan

HOLY SHIT ITS LIKE IM ACTUALLY SAKI

>>11862711
>dora3
>gets dora 3
and people say this game isn't rigged

also I don't understand this rule

>>11862831
If you call 4 kans, the round ends in a draw.

>>11862831
Theres only 4 tiles in the dead wall before the dora indicator. That's why there can only be 4 kans in a game and when that happens the game ends in a draw.

>>11862979

if you call 4 kans, it's a yakuman.

if 4 in total are called and not from the same person, it's a draw as there are so many dora shit gets crazy and some shitty hand would unfairly be worth 10x-20x what it should be worth.

Think of it as a gentleman's courtesy so one of the guys at the table doesn't get fucked over, and instead they all agree to a do-over.

>>11863082
Yes, that's what I meant. Thanks, I should have phrased it better.

fucking shitty low value hands.

>>11863145
Your hand wasn't much better,and what was he supposed to do? Let someone tsumo?

>>11863145
You're being a hypocrite right now.

>>11863145
I didn't know they made hands that shitty.

>>11861560

SHODAN here.
I stopped playing for 8 months, and have been playing a few rounds because my friend has been telling me too.
I kind of forgot how to play.
Sorry

>>11864545
There's a significant difference between - for example - a 9-dan player and a 7-dan player. Y'think that play styles of 5-dans are any different?

>>11864568
Sure buddy.

I question how you could possible judge if your own skill level is increasing after you got a working strategy that yields average results. Even if you were to sample 1000 game batches from this point on, that's not even remotely enough to mitigate, not even to mention ruling out, any effects that happen because of luck/chance.
You could be getting better, or you could be getting worse, there's no way to tell.

7447 lobby is super busy right now.

>>11865435
Last time I remember that happening it was because it was league night. I don't remember what league it was though

holy shit my fucking sides

>>11867759
Talk about asking for it.

where is the "not OK" button?

>>11871223
>trying to score yakuman as a NoName

>>11871447
do you know how many live tiles I cut during that fag's riichi?

a NoName account is just about the only account I'll try to pull this shit (especially when I'm leading)

good thing it was a good hand with a good wait; else I would've gone apeshit

>>11871447
Who are you quoting?

Can't play in the dan room anymore since the last update. Is minhoulib being updated?

>>11871838
but you are going apeshit

>>11871982
no that's not apeshit

I never lost the lead in that game and I've gotten daisangen several times

apeshit was about a week ago when I dealt into a closed wait yakuhai hand while getting nine gates tenpai

I wasn't posting online or making a screen cap about it because I was fisting my router

>>11871920
The last update just came few days ago, but it doesn't mention about that.

>>11872649
Screw that, forgot that it's 2014 now.

how did this get decided?

>>11873037
Clockwise, starting from winner.

>>11873047
Counterclockwise, sorry.

>>11871920
I can't play at all since public is capped at 4dan R1800.
>top lel

>>11873148
Just use the economy client.

>>11873331
That does nothing.

3:8

I'm not having any problem with minhoulib. I can still play in joukyuu and tokujou just fine.

>>11874150
Idk what I'm doing wrong then.

１級未満で上級卓の対戦を行うには、
有効期限の残りが６０日以上必要です

>>11874179
It's coming with latest patch, so probably unpatched client still make joukyuu lobby open for NoName.

Come one faggots. Show me how you play mahjong on /jp/.

>>11874293
They apparently play by getting junsei kokushi.

>>11874182
I just started a new account. Does this mean I have to get 1級 before I can play in dan room?

If so, that sucks balls. The rate boost you could get from playing inthe dan room from the start was great.

>>11876443
I think so.
If this rule applies to everyone (including bought IDs) then it's change that should have happened long ago. No more NoName/R1500 guys in the dan lobby? Fuck yeah.

>>11876443
>If so, that sucks balls.
Not that it's hard to do anyways. If you're used to playing in joukyuu, then you can work your way up easily.

>>11876936
Nah I didn't say it was hard. I just don't like playing with idiots that do retarded shit for no reason.

What 4p video games do you nerds recommend?

>>11879095

I got invited to a mahjong meetup this Sunday night. But at the same time, I also really want to play Cosmic Encounter. Not sure what to do...

Hey /jp/, /a/ is making fun of you again because of your 3p-Fu.

>>11881789
People who play 3p are not entitled to an opinion of any kind.

I finally got around to learning how to play. Where do I go in this thing to find other bad players? I don't really know any japanese.

>>11882269
>implying eleveners are good at mahjong

Take your pick. Both are full of bad players.

>>11882332
Well I went and played a game. I got this message afterwards. Could someone tell me the gist of it?

>>11882379
You advanced in rank.

http://arcturus.su/tenhou/

>>11882388
Oh neat. That was fucking stressful though. I'm too used to playing video games with unlimited time for turns.

>>11882379
Your powers are growing. With enough practice you will eventually be able to class change into a Lesbian

>>11882426
oh gosh

>>11882379
Oh and http://tenhou.net/0/ is the ranked lobby, and http://tenhou.net/0/?L7447 is the english lobby.

>>11882425
>not playing anything that involves a time limit

Get your game on, man

>>11882681
I only learned because of Yakuza. The only penalty for taking too long is old men yelling at you

Does that crack to play on the windows client still work? If it does, where is the default install folder for tenhou because i can't find it anywhere

>>11882962
Actually disregard that. But I do want to know how to change the voices in the game. I got all these voice clips and nowhere to put them.

>>11883068
Either Program Files or Local folder in AppData. I don't know, somehow my installation folder moved to the former from patch months ago.

As for change voice, go to 設定, SE or BGM.

>>11883115
Oh wait does the injector not work on 1.3? god damnit everything is so confusing and I keep being retarded. Sorry

>>11883172
My folder is named 130, so I guess that's my Tenhou version. And I'm using the crack all fine.

>>11883190
I could just be retarded and not know how to navigate the menus too. This is what I end up with when I log in with the injector running.

I also still can't find anything dealing with voices

>>11883205
Restart the client without crack, then move to normal lobby and restart again with crack. Once you move into tournament lobby, the crack stops working.

>>11883211
Ohh thank you so much

Man, the more I read about Majong the more certain I become that it's just Calvinball with tiles.

I wonder why I even bother. I'm sure to get one of my mood swings sooner or later and become too scared to play. Which seems to be about now. Pathetic.

>>11887682
If you're talking about American mahjong, yeah it is.

Is this a bullshit stat or can I gain anything from placing?

>>11888450
It will show on the monthly toplists. I don't think anyone cares about them though.

http://tenhou.net/sc/?aod-1
This should be the listing based on mean placement.

The best they could do in terms of rewards is free premium time, which I doubt you could do anything with so eh.

Nice job anyway.

>>11887682
dude just get 4 melds, 1 pair and be sure to have a yaku. its not rocket science
