No, they blocked all non-jp ips
>>15383810
Wait, when? I haven't had any problems today.
>>15383813
It was some time a few hours ago. If you stayed logged in when they banned IPs you still should be able to play, but if you quit and try to relog it won't work.
>now that Tenhou is dead
what
WHAT
>>15383810
Wait. What?!
That better not be true.
>>15383837
Unfortunately it is. I just spectated matches with a Japanese VPN.
So what was the motive behind banning non japanese IPs? I don't see why a reason why they would do it.
>>15383871
All I could think of is maybe a ddos, and they banned all foreign IPs to stop it.
I don't think this will be permanent. Tsuno has always seemed pretty friendly towards us gaijins. I even vaguely remember him wanting to put out an english version at one point.
>>15383871
>>15383881
Hopefully, this is temporary. In the meantime, we can direct people over to Sega if anyone is itching to play now.
>>15383881
I hope that is the case. 4chan has a similar case last night were they blocked Russian IPs for a bit of time before letting them back in. I'm fairly sure a good number of non Japanese people pay for the client as well, so they would just lose out on revenue.
I just started getting into Mahjong and this has kind of shocked me a bit.
Use proxy for now. Yea, hopefully it's temp thing.
>>15383871
Might be as simple as they are looking for players using the crack.
It's back.
>>15384134
I knew Tsuno won't abandon us.

>>15383810
I bet the Russians are to blame for this. They are banned from 4chan as well.
>>15384271
They even apologized for it. They are nice.
>>15384333
They got unbanned after an hour or so.

someone asked me something about xkime in the previous thread but it got archived before i could respond.
-he is not japanese, he from argentina but recently moved to japan,
-i dunno, maybe he seems like an asshole on some comments. didnt get that impression, sometimes people comes off as more dickish on the internet than IRL, but in my own xp he is pretty cool and super fun to play with. im not a friend or anything but hes well liked in the local community
>>15385715
Personally, I've never really had any problems with him either, but he has acted like a huge asshole before. In particular, http://osamuko.com/merry-christmas/ comes to mind.
>>15385825
yeah, you're right. he was a major asshole there. nothing to argue there. and the other guy's response was pure class which makes it even worse. truly awful stuff
i dunno, i just met him recently and that's kinda old, maybe he's more mature now that he's a father or something like that, or maybe he's less of an asshole in person or maybe i just didn't have the time to have him be an asshole to me. whatevs.
>>15385905
I don't know, the guy made a dumb move and then got defensive in the comments, making negative assumptions about someone else over it. He's hardly innocent. I don't blame him for getting upset, no one likes to be criticized, but it wasn't as elegant as you make it out to be.
That said, I understand why people think xkime's an ass at times after reading this. He does come off as opinionated, close-minded, and unempathetic when he's discussing things with others.

>using ippan tonpusen to grind back points
I've become what I hate
>>15385996
If you're going to play tonpusen just use the highest lobby available to you because tonpusen is more luck-based.
I really thought this was a good riichi, but it looks like I am mistaken. To rub even more salt on my wounds, I was ron'd a turn before I can tsumo the lone ton tile in the wall. Ended up 2nd because of this hand alone.
>>15386022
Chitoitsu has no good riichi.
>>15386036
East wasn't the round tile and the automatic response on early riichi like this is to discard the least dangerous tiles, i.e. my nonseat honor tiles, which is exactly what happened but unfortunately the ton wouldn't drop at all and as I expected two of them were on the dead wall. I could've gone without riichiing here because I was in the lead but it was just to good of a wait to skip.
>>15386022
That's unlucky. I think you shouldn't have riichi'd though, that hand has a lot of potential. Honitsu, Toitoi, even Shosangen or Tsu Ii Sou.
>>15386054
Still not a good riichi. You're waiting on only 3 tiles, hoping your opponents have them and will drop one and also hoping for the wall not to screw you if your opponents don't have any. Too much hoping = not a good riichi.
Chitoitsu has no good riichi.
>>15386062
>only 3 tiles
Not to mention it's 3 tiles of ONE type.
>>15386054
>least dangerous tiles, i.e. my nonseat honor tiles
I thought this only applies to ippan? Not so sure though.
>>15386055
>>15386062
>>15386102
I can't take it back so I'll just take it as a lesson learned. I had the lead so I should've taken a step back and let them play themselves.
>>15386106
For what it's worth I think riichi'ing chi toi is fine, especially on tiles likely to come out. You probably would've won that hand if the other two weren't in the dead wall. But doing it without any dora isn't worth it most times, doesn't pay off very well unless you get lucky.
>>15386022
There's no problem at all with calling riichi here. It's still only S1, you've only got a 3400 point lead, your wait is strong, and you get to cut off last place's dealer turn. There's no need to open up your hand by calling, because not only does it take you back shanten (which you should almost never do) but it significantly restricts your hand by making you reliant on being able to call the rest of your tiles, and it also makes your hand a lot easier to read.
>>15386062
>Chitoitsu has no good riichi.
This is plain wrong. Chiitoitsu's greatest advantage is its unpredictability. The only real way to defend against it is to discard only 100% safe tiles, which is especially difficult to do against a second turn riichi.
On top of that, dama chiitoitsu nomi is trash beyond trash. Riichi raises the expected value of your hand by a lot thanks to the possibility of tsumo and uradora, and it also applies pressure on the other players. You'd generally only dama chiitoitsu if you have already dora, if you really don't need the points, or if it's late in the round and you need to be defensive.
>>15385928
Imagine yourself trying to discuss Yugioh TCG strategies and decks seriously while having to deal with the dozens of weeb comments about "the heart of the cards". You start sounding opinionated very quickly, and at one point you just stop caring and only say what you have to say, no sugar coating.
>>15385905
The truth is that lately he's way too busy to be as big of an asshole as he wants to be.
Hi, Pat.
>>15386294

I was wrong, I guess he is an asshole afterall.
>>15386612
Did it work?
Wether or not chime is an ass, let's stop pretending we're all a bunch of mahjong saints that only exist in this thread. We all go insult/be an asshole elsewhere on 4chan once we're done here
>>15386114
This is mostly correct. From what I've seen though, if you riichi in the last few rounds people tend to panic and throw non round winds almost every time. I catch a lot of people in Tokujou pulling this stunt with ippatsu for haneman or baiman.
This however does not work with suji traps which are ignored.

>>15386294
Hello /dng/.
>>15386294
The guy saying in the comments that he would discard a winning kokushi tile just to win on a furiten kokushi 13 is beyond idiotic
>>15389603
I've definitely considered it. Not that I've had the chance and once I learned it wouldn't count as a double yakuman it seemed pretty pointless.
>>15389619
Well, if it counted as a double yakuman it would make sense, but it doesn’t! So why would someone do it? Just to say they had a kokushi 13? They didn't
I got daisuushi earlier this year, but my wait was 5man and south. Having called the other 3 winds.
I was pissed when I saw it come up as a standard yakuman, but no way in fuck would I have let that 5man slip by should it pop up
>>15389695
I'd probably get greedy and go for tsuuiisou at that point.
>>15389638
In Tenhou yeah it makes no sense. In a normal game then double yakuman on 38 winning tiles sounds pretty enticing.
I chose wrongly and could have prevented a tragedy.
>>15390025
Cut the 2p for a 1-4p Chun tamenmachi.
>>15390025
>>15390096
Either cutting the 2p or the 4p would have saved me from this.
Still secured second but ugh.
>>15390025
234pin discard for tenpai, but toimen and kamicha clearly hogging pinzu
Chun is live
234man too close to dora
678pin seem marginally safer.
Honestly speaking, wwd posts are always situations where the player got punished for pushing and everyone rolls in with their hindsight "I totally would have played it safe" comments. I wish folks would post more nuanced settings and recommendations
Toss 4 to max out your points on a bad wait. Get ron'd, tell us about it.
2:0 lads
>>15390162
I know he got lucky and drew it right afterwards but 3p is very questionable when you have a better, wider wait available. I certainly wouldn't have wanted to wait on it when you look at everyone else's discards and see none of them have dropped any pinzu except for south.

Ughhh.
>>15390196
Fuck I'd probably discard pei
One-suit hands are hard
>>15390196
>not going closed kan and riichi
>>15391200
This is probably the /jp/-approved way. I'd probably do it without much thinking.
But I wonder which one is stronger, extra kan dora with possibility of rinshan or 3-side wait with possibility of itsuu. But it's last row so probably the latter.
>>15391551
Not even a question, going for the ittsuu is the only real choice unless 5m is dead. Higher potential hand value and more winning tiles.
>>15390196
Why did they leave the Japanese in? Why didn't they translate the tile names? Why didn't they use the kanji for iiwan or sanmen machi? Why didn't they leave discard as 切る?
>>15390126
Yea, shanpon alone can be shit. For this hand, there's virtually no value in going shanpon. That 1-pin clearly demonstrates that here.
>>15390473
Unless I was North, I'd cut pei as well. Go for that sweet chinitsu.
>>15391858
Enjoy ending the game noten or calling to get a hand worth as much as it was closed, if you're lucky.

>not recognizing a chance for chuuren poutou
>>15391901
I see one 9m in another player's pond. Your chances for chuuren at that point are basically nilch.
>>15391839
Either way he would have had the same amount of winning tiles if he had went for 14p instead of shanpon. He was just unlucky.
>>15392522
No, he chose the worse wait and got punished for it. 1-4p also waits on Chun, for a total of 6 tiles.

My luck has been pretty shit lately and my R has been dropping like crazy, but games like these always make my day.
What would you discard and why?
>>15397171
9-sou
It's safe because the other guy in riichi kept discarding honour tiles and the other 2 were thrown already so it would be a weird hell wait for a shitty hand.
>>15397171
None of them are great, but 4m might be your best bet. It's double suji for both riichis, although there's a very real possibility that south could have a 3-4-5 sanshoku.
>>15397171
4m is double suji, I would throw that. It doesn't look like it'll pass against kamicha though.
>>15397219
4m is safe against kamicha. It passed 3 turns earlier and his hand hasn't changed since then.
>>15397171
8m, since it's safe against the kamicha and it would be worse to deal in to him than dealing in to the toimen.
>>15396753
truly excelent game. i think you risked too much with that honitsu dora 3, but it worked so kudos
>>15397534
Thanks.
Whenever I'm on a roll, I find it better to push, even if it's risky. It really depends on the situation, but if you just won big, a lot of times the other players will be on guard and more likely to fold against your pushes, specially as a dealer. So if by pushing you get them to fold, it could actually decrease the chances of you dealing in.
Of course, it doesn't always go like that. In that game they kept on pushing all the way, which is why it was so fun. Everyone was going all out.
>>15397357
This.
South 3. Dealing into 4th isn't as damaging as dealing into 2nd, who'll take you over.

Fold without question.

Fold. There's a riichi and dealer with 2 calls including a non seat wind. I'm expecting this to end with you drawing the Pei next turn and dealing in.

You've got a bad weight with low value. You're second place in oorasu and all the scores are close, so discard 8p. If you're lucky you can safely switch to dama pinfu to go to south round, but if not you should focus on avoiding last.

Riichi. I would hope I noticed dealer was in tenpai but still decided to push to aim for first. Maybe if I was doing poorly in the last few games I might fold, but I tend to be aggressive and not think too hard in the middle of a round.

How do I read waits.
>>15405019

Next question?
>>15405021
How do other people read waits.
>>15405027
Like who?
>>15405033
Like this dude >>15397212
>>15405027
Jokes aside, wait reading isn't a thing like it is in manga. In real mahjong it's just a process of elimination.
>>15405037
For what it's worth, my read was on south, not the west player who actually had the sanshoku. I can walk you through what I was thinking, if you like. First of all, I was trying to think of reasons why my preferred tile, 4m, wouldn't pass. It was double suji because 1m and 7m passed, meaning the only other waits we'd have to worry about are closed 4m and shanpon 4m.
If south had a 3m-4m-4m before he riichi'd and were waiting on 4m shanpon, he would have just dealt the 4m for an edge wait. But if he had, for example, an 1-shanten shape with 3m-3m-5m and another edge wait, he could have dealt the 3m and be waiting for closed 4m. The threat of a 4m closed wait is slightly increased because we can't see the red 5m and because of the possiblity of sanshoku. These are both scenarios where you'd want to wait on the 4m instead of shanpon.
So then, is there any hint that south might have a sanshoku in the 3-4-5 vein? His 4th - 6th discards stood out to me. Dropping 1s-2s and then the 3p made me think of this scenario; let's say he has in his hand, before discarding the 1s, this:
1s-2s-3s-4s-5s and 3p-3p-4p. He drops 1s, leaving him with 2s-3s-4s-5s and 3p-3p-4p. 2-3-4 and 3-4-5 sanshoku are still possible. Dropping the 2s next turn leaves him with 3s-4s-5s. Dropping 3p next turn leaves him with 3p-4p. We can't rule out sanshoku because we can't see all four of any one tile in 3-4-5. So after going through all of this in my head, I thought it was very possible for him to have a sanshoku.
In reality, he had nothing like that. Instead, west had all of the tiles for it, and his discards didn't hint at it at all. If reading waits were something you could do reliably then betaori wouldn't exist. All you can do is try to make educated guesses based on what you can/can't see in the pond.
>>15405208
You're on the right track by imagining the possible hand shapes that fit the discards, but it's far more likely that the 12s penchan and the 3p were isolated tiles rather than parts of a complex shape, especially considering it was still only the fourth turn.
Besides which, discarding 12s from 12345s is effectively the same as discarding 45s in that you lose the 36s ukeire. If he started with 12345s344p, then what other six tiles in his hand would make him want to discard 12s3p without going back shanten, without putting him in tenpai earlier than the 3m discard, and while still keeping the manzu and pinzu shapes from which he discarded 9p and 3m?
>>15405318
I could easily imagine him doing so if he wanted to build towards a tanyao hand he could call with. You say you think it's more likely they're isolated tiles, but discarding a tatsu from within your hand before an isolated 3p goes against that.
>>15405333
Go ahead and fill in the rest of his hand in such a way that it makes sense, then. And discarding a penchan before an isolated 3 or 7 is by no means uncommon.
>>15405353
And doing so will prove what exactly?

Getting third when you're in joukyuu is terrible. Most of these guys have R1600 or R1700 so my R takes a heavy hit. At least I keep my points, I guess.

>>15410468
You're playing the mode with no open tanyao. You need a yaku other than tanyao when you open your hand.

Applocale
>>15412735
How do you actually run tenhou with applocale? It seems to me that the only way to actually get tenhou running is to run the shortcut that's created when you install, and my applocale will not run shortcuts in japanese locale. I've had to change my actual system's locale to Japanese in order to get rid of the mojibake.
>>15412850
Yeah, I'm encountering the same problem. The original .exe is in Appdata and won't run if you launch it from there, it only runs when launched from the shortcut, and applocale doesn't apply on the shortcut, while it also won't run on the original exe.

>>15415584
If you lose a game, stop - even for like an hour or so. Because the concept of "I'll win the next one" may fuck up your judgement. As a result, you'd end up fucking up more.
>>15415911
I tend to continue playing under the justification that playing under tilt is the only way to train tilt management. During tournaments or such you can't choose to take a break. Longterm plan. I suppose it helps that I still enjoy the game during terrible streaks.
8+7+6+9 now, for that matter!

I like it since clearly the gimmick with this arc is going to revolve around that and the golden tile but realistically yes, I can't imagine why anyone would want to play at a saki tsumo parlor.

Shouldn't you call riichi precisely because you're in last?
>>15428894
Against better players, dama can be more effective because they won't let go of winning tiles as easily after someone declares riichi. You can always declare riichi after someone else, too.

Wasn't it that she had no points and therefore couldn't riichi?
Terrible subs for a terrible show.

No, the hand she gets while at 0 points is chankan dora 7 and no other yaku.
http://tenhou.net/0/?log=2016062107gm-0089-0000-11976428&tw=3
I regret getting too greedy with the chiitoitsus, but after the shimocha activated their lesbian powers I'm just happy that I didn't get last.
>>15430760
Why would toimen reset the hand when he was iishanten for Kokushi?
>>15430826
It was a mistake for sure, but maybe it was a misclick. Maybe he's a new player. Maybe he isn't japanese and clicked the button not knowing what it means. It's hard telling.
Are you?
>>15430996
Yes, I always end up in last because of the Tenhou admins.
>>15430996
I just got a game where it was south 4 and I was in last place with only 4000 points.
I stayed calm and someone dumber than me dealt into a dealer mangan and sunk even lower than me. Getting frustrated would have gotten me a nice last place.
I play this a lot but almost always place last in every game I play even though I know the rules and combinations.
>>15431488
That's probably because you lack experience and haven't developed the key skills that will help you execute a winning strategy.
What would you do in this situation?
>>15431698
You should prioritize safety against the dealer, so discard 2p. It could be a trap, and it's dangerous against kamicha, but it's better than discarding 47p matagi suji into the dealer.
>>15431698
Discard 7m, suuankou is 100% guaranteed based on the flow. The other peasants at the table can be ignored.
>>15431488
welcome to the club of this kusogame
enjoy your stay
>>15431698
Drop the dora. If I'm gonna deal in, I might as well deal in now. If it passes, my suuankou is all but guaranteed.
>mfw I haven't won in my last 13 games and 8 of them are 3rd places
I don't understand anymore, it's like I fucking stagnated and suddenly lost my ability to win games.
>>15432027
I'm right there with ya buddy. Last game, whenever I actually got close to winning a decent hand someone else stole a quick win instead. Maybe I'll just try again next month.
>>15432128
>Riichi on 3rd turn with a strong ranyamen wait
Things are coming around!
>Sonichas riichi on 7th turn
>Ippatsu
Why is it that retarded risks always seem to work out for these fucks but I can't even discard the 3rd guest wind during riichi without dealing in
>>15431698
This is pretty difficult. The only thing I will say for sure is we shouldn't give suuankou a single thought. If we push, we riichi. Our hand is expensive, our wait is decent and we're in last place. Given our lack of safe tiles, we might very well end up dealing in anyway, providing further justification.
I feel like I ended up convincing myself that riichi is the way to go, but I would not criticise anyone who would discard 2p, and—honestly—that might very well be what I'd do myself if I was actually presented with the situation. With a bit of luck, the hand can return from that into fighting shape, too.
>>15432352
Pursuit riichis aren't always seen as risky by other players. Sometimes your hand is so transparent that the other guy figures he's got more chances than you do. It's even worse if he's actually got a feel for the flow. And of course, waiting on a useless honor tile is a basic trap, but you dealing into it is due to your bad luck since you were in riichi. That's shouganai.
What was that strong ryanmen wait by the way?
>>15433042
2-5 sou, None visible, 8sou in my pond
>>15431750
>>15431830
Goodbye.
>>15431749
>>15432594
I would've gone with 2p as well, especially since the only possible wait left for dealer would be 2p shanpon. Pretty much anything but the dora. He could've gotten killed instantly if the dealer had 2 more dora, definitely not worth it for this hand.
>>15433244
Pretty sure those first two were joking.
>>15434737
I was serious about dropping the dora, that's just how I play. Badly.
>>15435000
It's okay. You want that suuankou. You're a dreamer, and that's better than most people on other clients. They'll drop the dora in any situation, for much less spectacular hands, like so:
https://pl.sega-mj.com/mj_viewer?B=0001&K=11320&V=6&DI=OfEaMj4TV01NPb&T=250_250_250_250&D=5&S=62&H=wnbgr3rg7h2l9_l4kwjrohf48tb_4ki7guabu6xc3_kn3qdp2mdxy9q&A=trek29y_1_l_k33wmw-xmxjgw_c_z_7_pbfib_ib8hCfg4P1f63v_13c_s_6y9nCopj4_1_8R97_x7u_P2x26~27&Y=11_126580_20100040d10i15w766abc-e621023fgh2223uuu&Z=lvoaoozjtxvy6uf55py0dn1dtvfhh9qrpaemqji8zeg5wzica
The mahjong gods (or rather kamicha's chi) decided to give you the honor of drawing the haitei tile but you didn't win off of it and now must discard something. What'll it be?
>>15435608
The only reason you'd ask is because 3p dealt in. You just got unlucky.
>>15435608
just drop that 3 and get the tenpai reward. that 3p is pretty safe. all 1p are out so no one is in penchan; all the 2p and three 4p are out so there's no possible kanchan neither; and all the 5p are out too so there's no possible 45p ryanmen. also there's two other 3p out so it's not shanpon.
there's still the chance of tanki, and if you're asking this I have to assume that's what happened, but that's a remote possibility and 3p is still safer than any of the other tiles you have. if you dealt in with the 3p it's not your fault, you did right, but we all know that mahjong rewards consistency in making the right decisions and not every single right decision.
>>15435608
3p has only one wait available, 3p hell wait. Dealing it also lets us keep our tenpai so we don't have to make payments.
There's really no other option that makes sense. 2m is near the dora and there's still a possibility for someone to have a 2m-5m edge wait. 3m is the dora, and 3m-6m edge wait is still possible. For the same reason we don't want to deal 4m-7m.
>>15435608
3p seems like the best option. What happened?
