Probably just the two of us there.

>>14786200
I swear to God the flow was with me after watching that video.
>>14786737
Did you start cheating too?
>>14786747
No, but I bet I gained the supernatural power to force NoName into dealing into everything because that's what he did. It was just tsumos and him getting ronned even after he rq'd.
>>14786747
>>14786765
Also started with a chiitoitsu iishanten hand which I ended up winning somehow so I probably cheated!
>not having any pressure to win the last game
Feels so good.
Now, what should I buy first?
>>14786914
Well, you get that gold in chips, not actual gold. So there's not much to buy except official mode plays. Or event plays. The one at the bottom gives free items for the 1st, 2nd, and 4th plays of 4 player and 3 player.
>>14786922
>actual gold
You mean, I'd have to use real money? What a tease.
>>14786960
If you wanted to play the gacha? Yes. You can still get some cosmetic items by playing official mode and completing a bingo card, though. Just make sure you equip an appropriate one before playing.

Poor little 7-kyuu.
>>14789604
it mean they are doing badly in theirs lobby, it's your time to kick their ass
>>14789604
Partial excuse on the 2-dan. But both 3-dan?
Aside from the 7-kyuu, they're practially playing a joukyuu game amongst themselves, at ippan rates. That's both a waste of time and sucks to the one who gets 4th (assuming the 7-kyuu survives).

Nah, poor shimocha, ended up in 3rd place because some other guy couldn't stop dealing in.
>>14791440
>shimocha
No, it's toimen in 3rd.
I found out I perform better if I take breaks inbetween games when playing ranked. I used to jump all over the place but now my rank and R is steadily rising.
>>14792107
I'll try that. I usually play 4-5 games in a row and by the end of the day my R is usually back where it started, or lower.

>>14793331
Sorry anon, but judging from that game I think your tile efficiency needs work.
>>14793367
I know, I need some concrete examples
>>14793376
>E1-1
You should discard 6p ASAP instead of 8p because you're looking for a pair, and 6p is both the dora indicator and more dangerous. This backfired when you drew 8p later. Then in the middle of betaori you kanned for no reason.
>E1-2
You broke up 13s by discarding the bird instead of 1m. The dragon tiles are also all more valuable to keep before 1m.
Later you discarded 4p from 3445p instead of the worthless 9m from 679m. 3445p is an extremely valuable shape because it's 34+45 and you didn't have a pair, so 23456p would all have improved your hand.
>E1-3
In general stop kanning unless you're near tenpai and losing badly because kans are risky. Your early 3p kan ruined a 13p + 333p shape.
etc.

>>14793400
Are you the guy who was critiquing games several threads ago?
>>14793418
I think there's someone else that does that a lot more often, so probably not. It's possible.
Mostly I respond to the "what would you do" stuff.
Do you guys have tips for identifying ukeire/winning tiles when chinitsu? I've tried training with the bamboo game but I'm still too slow for the timer of Tenhou
>>14793376
Concrete? Try abstract. Unless you happen to be defending, consider not breaking up "connected tiles" so early.
By "connected tiles", I'm talking about something like 7-8-9. Don't break things up like this - unless you have good reason to do so.
>>14793491
There aren't really any tips or tricks to it, you just need to be able to recognise complex patterns. Keep playing the bamboo game until you get the hang of it.
>>14793491
To speed up the process, locate potential pairs. From there, you may be able to string various groups of three tiles fairly quickly.
Why the fuck would someone go for open tanyao if they're in last by more than 20k points? I was 2k away from first in S4, and then they drag me down to 3rd with their shitty useless hand that serves absolutely no purpose after I called riichi. Fuck him, and fuck this game.
>>14793795
They probably just accepted the loss and wanted to move on.
>>14793795
>Why the fuck would someone go for open tanyao if they're in last by more than 20k points?
Because he's a loser, who wanted the suffering to end.
>>14793814
>>14793821
They should just betaori and not get in the way of the big girls.
>>14794363
Do you betaori when you're in fourth with no chance of comeback in orasu? You probably do the same thing. I know it sucks to get a potential first stolen out from under you by a pointless hand, but that's going to happen a lot, so you might as well get used to it.
>>14794392
I know, but every time it happens I can feel my blood pressure spike.
>>14794392
I think I would rather wait for my chance, hoping for renchan, and/or try to inflate hands with random kans hoping that one player will lose enough points to end up 4th.
>>14794392
there is always a chance in mahjong, you only need a yakuman
>>14794442
Yea, it's that simple.

How is American mahjong? I have the urge to feel up tiles but I can't find anyone who plays riichi.

You want to play with old ladies anon? You're better off trying to snipe weebs at conventions or something

You're probably better off wandering into the local chinatown and playing hong kong jong, it's better too

>>14795928
Better than American or riichi? And how so?
>>14795949
Better than American. American is just a strange game with aspects that really don't belong anywhere near mahjong (Jokers, tile passing, etc).
>>14795942
Yea, looks "real" enough to me.
That's the kind of stuff people would say, in order to make themselves appear better than they already do, in relation to the game.

>>14796274
10/10
Can you tell if someone mostly plays mahjong online? I've heard pros talk about it being obvious once you play them in real life but they never explain further.
>>14796288
I supposed the most obvious way is how they handle tiles.
>>14796298
That was what I thought of as well, probably combined with them not playing like novices it would be obvious
>>14796306
I scored a haneman tsumo for my first real hand ever. Ah, the memories.
But despite playing online and with computers for a year or two, basic game rule mechanics that computers handle for you -- well -- people have to do it themselves.
>>14796359
How am I supposed to know I'm in tenpai if the delicious free sex button isn't there?
>>14796359
Yeah building walls, figuring out the dead wall and stuff is probably a bit confusing at first. Also counting your hands points
>>14784929

1:4 again
>>14796721
Make it 2:4.
>>14796288
I'm guessing the style of play, since tenhou makes last place avoidance so central while real-life games have a much bigger incentive to be first.
Fuck me, I leave for two seconds and the game already started. At least I didn't deal into a yakuman this time.

It's probably that high from crutching on Yakuhai and Toitoi.

I thought we were on South still, I put down the wrong tile.
Can we swap spots? I think the guy to my right is cheating.

The secret to get lucky is to lose. You need to deal into hands until you touch the deep sands of hell, after that you will start winning.

For example, "Red dragon (中)", "Green dragon (发)", and "White dragon (白)" in the traditional mahjong tiles embody Chinese people's simple desires for "progress", "getting rich", and "promotion". In our new version of Max Mahjong, they are replaced by "Safari", "White house", and "Statue of Liberty", to pay a tribute to the American spirits of adventure, equality, and freedom.
