And my stint at tokujou has been quick. Managed to get 101 games in there, before falling below R1800 -- AND -- one 4th away from falling back to 4dan. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/W1P00Fx.jpg) Apparently most of you are from the US/Canada, so I compared the US timezones with mine. If I also assume that everyone sleeps at around the same hours (red), that leaves the green cells as possible times. I guess those times are a bit inconvenient for people who go to work/school during the day in the Americas. And I'm really not fond of staying up way past midnight anymore. Can we do it anyways? | ||

http://osamuko.com/complete-beginners-guide-to-online-mahjong-part-1-how-to-play/ If you just want Yaku list you can find one online on wiki but I have a PDF file if that is what you want http://docdro.id/ai3ZQTE | ||

I recommend that you just start playing on tenhou.net right away. See part 1.5 of the guide for that. Osamuko's site is a nice resource in general. Also wikipedia has solid info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_Mahjong_yaku https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_Mahjong_scoring_rules And once you have a decent grip on the rules, you should read this free book: http://riichi.dynaman.net/ In other news: I've once again hit a streak where I just can't seem to do anything. Never getting tenpai, being forced to bail because I draw an oppoenent's winning tile at the worst time (I manage to draw and confirm those frighteningly often), and obviously my specialty, counter-ippatsu: I call riichi, someone else joins in and I deal into his hand right away. Also I re-watched some Saki episodes (I thought there was more Mahjong and less "fanservice"), and ever since then my opponents call a lot of kans and have won off their rinshan tsumos twice already. I don't think I had seen a single rinshan kaihou in the last 200 matches before that. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w58/draconis422/Tenhou/yakuman16.png) I could go for a few games myself. I'm in the same timezone as CEST, so any of those times are good enough for me. | ||

I know a few hands, but it's hard to know them all without learning the rest. I went from knowing absolutely nothing about the game, to writing much of this stuff down: http://arcturus.su/wiki/Main_Page | ||

http://tenhou.net/0/?log=2016060603gm-0089-0000-2b8d77e0&tw=1 Check out the player to my right. I have no idea what the hell he was doing. Not the slightest bit. For a while it seemed like he was forcing honitsu hands, but that wasn't it. When I watched the replay it seemed like a really odd way of forcing Kokushi, but that suspicion went by quickly as well. He also wasn't doing the "eliminate one suit" thing from Akagi. He wasn't trying to win. He wasn't trying to lose. He wasn't trying to make someone else win or lose. He wasn't even discarding randomly. I just don't get it. And that's just about the only thing he could have been doing... making me not get it. | ||

http://tenhou.net/cs/2016/06ak/ Because of that event, I bought 1 month's worth of Tenhou client. So, looks like I'll be playing the game to death this month, especially as I teeter on the lower end of the 5-dan scale on my verge to drop to 4-dan. Naturally, my goal here is to prevent that from happening. And the results of said event: http://tenhou.net/sc/?C0011-sc5m EDIT: And what a short lived goal... sadface. | ||

Wouldn't you then either try to lose asap or just enable auto-discard and auto-no-call? On June 06 2016 17:30 KyuuSC wrote: Because of that event, I bought 1 month's worth of Tenhou client.

I feel like their service is well worth that much. In any case, have fun grinding! | ||

I realized this during my 4-dan stretch, when I was on the verge of dropping from 4 to 3. As for the client, well, I'm not in favor of pay-to-play (if I can). Now, if Tenhou changes such that access to tokujou and beyond requires a subscription, then no choice there. I suppose, I can treat myself to client here-and-there every few months. I've played so many games on the flash browser, so it's not gonna bother me. It's strange playing a few on Sega Mahjong though, where I find myself trying to shift tiles left and right (out of new habit). | ||
