Sainte Trinite otherwise known as Big 3 Dragons is a pretty good skill toi have when you are Delegating with your friends.

[image loading]
^People Delegating.

As the first person in the TLNY Mahjong Circle to get a Sainte Trinite hand let me show you how you too can channel the Pope in you.

To be honest I was -65 on the ladder when the game started. This is how I felt during the early game.
[image loading]

So how do you channel the Pope in you? Just do 3 things

1.Man shall not live on Pong alone
[image loading]
FYI I always live on pong alone, Always Pong never not Pong. Pong Palace all day Everyday. The pope lies. When you can Pong just pong. Pong is never a bad thing.

2.Betaori, (when in doubt play for Draw)
[image loading]
Frankly I never play for a draw, I always play to win, and that's a stupid thing to do and kicks me in the negatives pretty often. Damn ZoW and his Yakumans. Never play for Draws, But that's because I am one stubborn guy.

3.Et in Terra Pax PINFU (Peace on earth baby!)
[image loading]
Yes PINFU the PINFU we all know come to love, Them damned PINFU, the 2point PINFU hand that ruins your day! Bringing Peace out to your 10 point hands since Phelix ever got his hands on that North Wind tile.

Although I actually only pinfu'ed once during that entire game, since PONG PALACE BABY!!!!

So now you need to start off with a decent hand, I had something like

4man 4man 4man White White Green Green Red North and other trash tiles. Draw that Red Dragon and Start ponging. Who says man shall not live on Pong alone? I LIVE ON PONG ALONE!

After getting tempai, Thanks to living on pongs. I get something like this.

444WWWGGGRRRN
You can practically feel the North wind start to pick up (even though you're indoors lol). "The North Wind blows, this will be the final round," That North tile, it will come. Frankly I was lucky, there was already a discarded North, I have one myself. Chances are someone will discard one thinking the tile was safe. It was perfect, Now just wait for Phelix's signature
[image loading]
North wind discard. And you can just call out RON!!!!!!!!!
[image loading]

Ratzinger used 2 West wind tiles and 3 1Sou tiles instead of my 4man and North wind, oh well close enough. Next time I will attempt in recreating the
[image loading]
It shouldn't be that hard but damn it's not that easy to do either -.-" at least it's a pongable hand that should make it a little more achievable.

Now look, Yakumans are a good skills toi have. Here's what you look like when you haven't scored a Yakuman
[image loading]
Now this is what you look like when you show them your Yakuman.
[image loading]
Here's what you look like when you eat a yakuman to the face
[image loading]


That's all for now, Happy Yakuman'ing

There is absolutely no justice in the world.

When will I get a Yakuman?
Venture Capital is better off spent on lottery tickets rather than investing in E-Sports; you'll get a far better return. The difference is simple: Koreans are tryharding at the game, foreigners are tryharding in real-life.

Only playing vs computers so far (4WindsMahJong), but I did get an All Green already. Pon Hand too, if only that made a difference... (Kan of 3s, Pon of 4s, 8s and Green Dragons, Pair of 6s). Never even close to 3 Big Dragons tho

And then there is this Helen Bot, owning me with a Hidden Treasure. Including a Concealed Kan.
+ Show Spoiler +
Of course she also hit me with a

Rinshan Kaihou for a Pon Hand.

You can imagine how I felt:

Pon everywhere!


I wish I knew 3 people that I could teach Mahjong to. I'm a total baddie of course, but it's loads of fun. Sadly the insane amount of rules is kinda... problematic.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

I found it quite interesting that Helen Bot Rinshan Kaihou'd into a Pon Hand though. Considering your blog is all about Pon everywhere.

How many games do you guys play by the way? Total, per (some timeframe)?

It has like 20 predefined rulesets, including Japanese Modern aka Riichi Mahjong.

Speaking of rules, OMG I go out when I'm Furiten SO OFTEN. Furiten OP.

9 Gates are probably one of the hardest to get because it's an all concealed hand. And you get screwed over really easily

We usually do it either every week or every other week, but since it's summer we're missing members to play.

Lies, we're not missing members, we're missing a place. Also, can only do this on Friday nights and Saturdays now for me.
