My old account is in the 90s with two games. New one isn't ranked yet, though. Too busy grinding in L0.

Even ignoring that, it's a meaningless list. 60% of the top 30 haven't even played 10 games.

That's right. If you want to know how well you're doing just look at your first place percentage when you're at least 100 games in.

I feel like I didn't do shit, but I'll take it.

>>14652662
A lot of players on /jp/ and maybe /a/
A tournament can be made

>>14652715
It's better than not doing shit and coming in third because someone kept dealing into everyone but you.

>>14652792
/jp/ would probably lose against /a/. Who's your best player anyway? UNIVERSE?

>>14652816
>UNIVERSE?
Yeah, I wish. Try one of the 5 or 6 dans that play here. They've most likely played for much longer than I have and have put in a lot more effort in L0, so I'd say they're better.

Also, why do you think /a/ would win? I don't think many good players go there.

>>14652852
>why do you think /a/ would win?
Those 5 or 6 dans you mentioned are from /a/.

>>14652855
How do you even distinguish where they come from anyway? The seems too massive to tell.

>>14652860
I've been observing them since the active days of tanoshii threads on /a/ so I'm certain they're mostly from /a/. Except xkime maybe.

>>14652792
how can you divide the 2?
I mean, I'm mostly on /a/ every time, but I come here for the mahjong thread only, for which side shold I play?

You don't have to, it would be an all vx all thing.

Would you pursuit riichi here?

>>14652869
well a mahjong tourney between all the board may be cool, with a Saki style 5 player Sempo-Taisho with 2 east sud each
Still who should play other than /a/ and /jp/? we need at least 4 team

>>14652888
No. Haku dora 1 is enough since you're not last and you will be last dealer.

>>14652894
Just make 2 teams for each board.

>>14652894
I remember seeing a tread on /v/, and maybe mahjong, like chess is sport, so /sp/?

>>14652888
Yes

>>14652907
People from those boards probably have no idea how to play. It will be a battle of busting the retards if they play. Not fun at all.

>>14652903
>Haku dora 1 is enough
So you would push but stay dama? If you're going to discard dangerous tiles against a riichi, why not riichi as well?

>you will be last dealer
This isn't something you should ever really count on.

>>14652914
Let's not. Too much circlejerking around the players ended badly last time /a/ had a tournament.

>>14652914
Saki : autistic weebos edition

FKMT style would be fun too

>>14652919
Because if I pick up an extremely dangerous tile I can still fold.

And you know what you shouldn't really count on? Risky riichi with a cheap hand like that.

>>14652923
any link?

>>14652931
What would be extremely dangerous? The 2s already looks dangerous to me.

>And you know what you shouldn't really count on? Risky riichi with a cheap hand like that.
3 han on a ryanmen wait isn't terrible and you don't even know what you'll draw in your dealer turn. Tenpai on a good wait is a hell of a lot better to count on than some vague hope for clutch renchan.

Why not just do an individual match? What's the need to side with boards? I'll side with /a/ though.

>>14652933
I don't, it was a long time ago and I don't really feel like digging through the archives.

>>14652952
You have 2 of the 3s so it's not THE MOST dangerous. If you riichi, pick up a 2p or any red dora and deal in to someon what would you do? Complain here because you got "unlucky"? And I'm not saying you should count on getting renchan. Being last dealer means right at that moment you still have two more rounds, at least, to do something. 4th place has no more turn as dealer and that should limit the damage he can do.

I think your problem is you really want to get 1st place. Listen to my advice, avoiding 4th place is the essence of tenhou and you'd do well to stop thinking less about winning every match you play.

>>14652971
Forgot to mention, me myself would probably fold and hope shimocha do something stupid to escape 4th place. My answer was based on the assumption that you'd want to push and it's just a matter of declaring riichi or not.

>>14653000
I should have been more clear then, I wasn't dead-set on pushing there. Defending would have been a perfectly acceptable answer.

That east round was a cluster-fuck. Kamicha gets a lucky dealer baiman on the first hand, shimocha can't stop calling tiles, and I decide that first place is hopeless and go for toi-toi 3 hands in a row. I felt so bad for the toimen having to put up with us. L0 is just as despair inducing as I remember though.

Eight games of not winning sucks, but you can often go fifty or a hundred games with shitty results. It isn't unusual for even houou players to demote two or three times.

The important thing is to truly identify any mistakes and to ride out the randomness. As the article >>14658048 says, a lot of people who say they played a particular game perfectly and lost actually messed up somewhere.

Just a final reminder that the /a/ and /jp/ tournament starts in approximately 5 and half hours at 10 JST/8 PM EST if anyone is interested. Rules are standard 4P with kuitan allowed, no red fives (to minimize the influence of luck). Final scores are calculated as a total of the 5 matches. NoNames/Guest IDs are not permitted in tournaments so you'll have to register an account if you haven't already. Hope to see you there.

Well, OK. Maybe they do...

How many different hand compositions are there for Ryuuiisou? I can't imagine it's that many considering you can only use 6 of the tiles

Do people really think that Tenhou is rigged against players with nonJapanese IPs?

What the fuck do I do with penchans? They're terrible and I want them out of my hand but it's poor efficiency since it lowers shanten.

>>14658526
Wait. Hope to draw a 4/6 or turn one of the tiles into a pair.

>>14658526
Wait for a middle tile then build around that while you discard your penchan wait if it's still possible for you to do that like in the early stages of the game. Penchan is not as bad as I thought it was at first. It does have the same number of waits as a shanpon wait assuming no tiles are in the discard pond.

>Dropped below R1600
Fuck this shit I got to tenpai exactly once and I ended up dealing in during my riichi.

>>14658526
I don't remember where I read it, maybe in Daina Chiba's book, but I read that a penchan has only a very slighter chance to be completed than an isolated 5. So don't hesitate too much over discarding them.
They have bad waits and forbid tanyao & pinfu. Also, if you don't have any tile nearby, always throw the inside tile first, the outside one is usually safer.
>>14658544
I don't consider shanpon as an efficient wait, but its plus is that it can easily evolve into ryanmen pinfu. Outside of unefficiency's unpredictability, does it have other benefits?

>>14658442
234 can be used as a sequence. 6s, 8s and hatsu have to be in a pair of a three of a kind. So you could have an iipeikou shape with 223344, 666 888 and a pair of hatsu, for example.

>>14658593
For suji traps. Beyond that I don't think there's any. It is a pretty hard wait to win, compared to the other types of waits except for tanki, although tanki has the surprise factor included with it.

>>14658608
Technically speaking you could have 222-333-444-234 and a pair of 6,8 or hatsu however unlikely it may be. Maybe I'll go put together every possible combination myself for fun later

>>14658593
>penchan has only a very slighter chance to be completed than an isolated 5
I tried to do the math on that myself once but gave up because I'm a big dum dum.

Fucking kusoge.

>>14658487
I hope not.

>>14658671
I don't think it was math based, rather a statistical observation.
I quickly did some approximate math and get a 9/8 ratio (1.125) in favor of the isolated 5. It comes from the fact that you have to draw 2 tiles, but you have 3 combinations with 3,4,6,7 that work.

>>14658775
Well, forget about that, it was a nonsense. The important fact is that you have 5 (not 3...) combinations of the tiles around 5 that make a full shuntsu.

So how does this work? You play 5 times and then you're done?

Here I am with Gogo, Doragan, and Waki. Again.

When do scores get tallied? I want to join but I'm busy with other shit. Can I hop in later tonight and still participate?

>>14659823
Scores are tallied on the go. After you play enough matches you'll see your rank in the lobby. That said, five hanchan will take a while, so I dunno if many people will keep playing to improve their rank once they finish their first five.

>>14659834
Wait so you can keep on playing for as long as you want? I think there should be a hardcap.

>>14659845
Playing more could also decrease your rank.

>>14659845
Yeah, it's the best five consecutive games, so you can keep playing. The only limit is that the tournament is only open for seven hours. That's a long-ass time, though.

I was about to rank everything manually but Tenhou's log for today seems to be corrupt. I'll try again in a few minutes.

It's up to you if you want to play more games to try to increase your rank. Keep in mind it only counts your last five games.

>>14660698
So are you only counting the last 5 for people with more than 5 in these rankings or no?

>>14660712
Last 5, just remember there is a time limit.

>>14660718
I wasn't sure because you included people who didn't make it to 5. I assume we'll just cut them from the final ranking?

>>14660712
It automatically does it.

How big is the Japanese Mahjong community? Only came into this thread since I saw Saki anime, and am kind of interested.
I've only played Taiwanese Mahjong which is also 17 tile based, but I suck at keeping score/what hand gives you how many points.

>>14660742
>How big is the Japanese Mahjong community?
Depend what you mean, in real life it's pretty much nonexistent outside of Japan. Online it's pretty decent. These threads are relatively active and the online site we all use to play is pretty much always populated in the general lobby and people swing through the custom lobby we use often.

I'm not really familiar with other types of mahjong so I can't say how the scoring differs

>>14660742
http://www.gamedesign.jp/flash/mahjong/mahjong_e.html

and don't come back until you stop getting ''no multipliier''

Ah, shit. I just woke up. Is it realistically too late to get in 5 hanchans?

>>14660820
You still have time, go for it.

>>14660781
What does the card faced away/card thrown away while face down mean? Are those the little birds that give you extra points?

>>14660828
Are people still playing?

>>14660832
There are 16 people right now.

>>14660829
read under the game for rules

So there will be no playoffs round after the group round is over? Seems unfair, since some people only played against scrubs while others might have to face the strong players more often.

>>14660854
Ohh. So it seems like in the taiwanese version, instead of having a white empty tile, they had a little rectangular card on the tile. Seems like it's the same tile just different images on the tile itse.f

>>14660870
I was thinking about having another tournament with the people in the top 8 and then a final with the top 4. Although there's nothing in place to stop other people from joining, so it's probably impossible.

Newbie here, but can I not pon a wind on the first circle of the round?

>>14660908
nvm I'm retarded

>>14660888
well, we can orginize that on 7447 when there is no other games. Also nobody plays in anything other than dora5 to begin with, so it should be doable

>>14660888
Eh really? I thought there would be a way to reserve places or something

We could probably still make it work out though

>>14660888
Not impossible. Other people just have to cooperate and not be a dick by joining the queue if they're aren't eligible.

Anyway, I thought the /a/ tournament managed to be just fine in 2013 or 2014?

Finally made it

>>14661006

>>14661006

Yeah, we did seed it by rate.

And thanks UNIVERSE, I would've overtaken >>14660995 if not for that tsumo.

>6th
Could push harder, but if the goal is top 8 I think I'm fine.

Guess I got in too late because I slept in.

Next time I'd like for the organizer to make this more organized. The matchups should not have the element of randomness like this one. I mean, I feel kinda bad for the 2d player in one of the matches before. He has to face against 3 high ranking opponents at the same time while those who played early probably had to only face 1 such opponent in any given match.

>>14661139
Well, there were also some late comers.

>>14661139
I doubt there's enough players to separate them based on ranking.

>>14661139
Not trying to shit on anyone or anything but this tournament was pretty much a spur of the moment. There wasn't much thought put into it

>>14661154
There were a lot of stragglers. We started with 11 at the correct time. We ended up with almost 3 times that amount.

I agree the publicity for this was very low, and should have been announced better.

So we have under 1 hour left right?

>>14661163
For a tournament that was set up just two days ago in a spur of the moment I think it's doing fine. It'll serve as an example for more tournaments in the future. Also, I think we should've set a better time to accommodate everyone that wanted to play. I may sound biased because I'm a latecomer as well but it's a pity some can't finish the 5 games because of the bad timing.

>>14661082
It's not my problem.

>>14661139
If you're talking about me, then it's fine. If I can't beat them, it's either my fault or fate's fault.

>>14661226
>it's either my fault or fate's fault
I'm not talking about you but of course it's your fault for being bad but it's simply not fair since some people don't even have to play against the high ranking players.

>>14661222
>It'll serve as an example for more tournaments in the future.
Fair warning though. Don't do these too much. People may burn out from them.

What are the rankings as of now? There should be like 30 minutes left, right?

Alright, if you guys are actually interested in doing a more organized tournament then let's do this.

I'll draw up a bracket with seeds determined by Tenhou rate, then swap people around so their schedules match. It helps a lot if you've got a flexible schedule.

>>14661390

>>14661436
Sure. Just put in the rating for your old account if you remember it.

We can do it next week, although I'm not sure if they're up for it. I'd like to know what time is best for everyone, I was thinking about making it 5 or 6 hours earlier because a lot of the Europoors had to stay up past their bedtime.

>>14660927
>>14660942
Also, I just realized that there was an option in the tournament lobbies to permit only permit certain people to play so it's definitely a possibility.

>>14662092
Well you should probably ask the top 8 specifically what time works for them. I'm 5th place and I can play whenever as long as I know when not to sleep

>>14662092
I can't make it if it's 5 hours earlier. If the yuros want I can clear some time right around this hour(+/- 2 hours).

>>14662109
Yeah, if you want to you can make a whole tournament bracket and schedule the matches at different times. I don't know how it works but the person in charge of the lobby can manually send players into matches.

>>14662123
>>14662201
I'll write up a bracket if we can't get everyone together.

>>14661900
http://whenisgood.net/x23xijs
Would appreciate it if the top 8 could put down what times they're available. I was planning on next Saturday but I set more days just in case some people aren't available then.

>>14662092
same as >>14662123
I too can play anytime if I know before a specific time schedule

>>14662003
I slept in so I wasn't able to play. Doubt that I'll be able to break top 8 but it's still unfortunate.

>>14662279
Also make sure the time zone matches up with your own. Just a reminder since some people were having trouble with time zones before.

Is it supposed to adjust time to GMT and yet still say what time zone you are in at the top? That makes it look like you want to count the offset twice.

Actually, only ‘チンチン’ does.

>>14663031
If you put your timezone at the top it will adjust automatically. Trust me on this.

>>14663040
When I followed the link it showed exactly what I was afraid of. It assumed my input time was GMT and then adjusted it based on my timezone and was in fact counting the adjustment twice. I guess I'll do it over again.

To anyone else that has this problem: if you are running noscript disable it for whenisgood before you use the dropdown.

>>14663096
Sorry, I lied. I completely forgot about noscript.

>>14663035
Actually, the Japanese generally use 'チ' for the sound 'ti' because the language originally didn't have a 'ti' sound, and it's easier for some native speakers to use familiar sounds for creating loan words than to learn the additional sounds that exist for them. ’ティ’ exists for the sound now, but 'チ' is still more commonly used. So 'Tin Tin' would more often than not become ‘チンチン’, especially during the time that anime would've been created.

>>14662016
>There were 30 people in total, but the final rankings only list the top 20.
Hmm, I stopped after 3 games and had a positive score but I'm not in that list. So maybe these are only the player who played all five games?

>There were 30 people in total, but the final rankings only list the top 20.
Some probably did not finish 5 games.

>>14663239

I looked back and checked all the people who had less than 5 games, and you're right. It was exactly 10. Now we know for sure next time, you need 5 games or more to rank.
