Someone mentioned MJnet in a previous thread, and how you can have private hanchan matches for free, so that motivated me to give it a try. I'll list some thoughts for anyone else who is interested in it.

1) The presentation is really nice. The tiles look great. Tiles get dealt by a hand and can end up a bit uneven on the table, the hand may straighten the pond, etc. There are flashy effects when someone wins a hand.
2) Play wise, there's a few convenient features, like having a shanten count in the lower right. When you reach tenpai, it shows you what your wait will be, similar to JRM. The game also gives you a lot of time to think if you need it.
3) There's customizable avatars and voices. That's always a plus in my book.
4) Is it free? Tonpussen, 3p, and private matches are. You earn free things via daily login, which can include free play tickets for ranked mode or one of the special tournaments. You can also earn 200 free chips by having a net score of +50 or more over 8 free mode matches, up to twice per month. (60 chips is the fee for non-free tables). If you get 1st in one of these modes, you don't have to pay. You also get a free 'gacha' once per day, which pops out bingo cards mostly.
5) Bingo cards are basically like quests in JRM, you get chips/items by completing them, but they're a lot easier. You can also junk them for medals to buy shop items. You can only complete them in ranked mode, but they appear much less demanding than a JRM quest.

Overall, I think it's worth checking out.

>>14754585
I'd rather play this than JRM. If you guys ever have a room up I'll join.

I've started my mahjong client. Code will be posted when it's somewhat usable.

>>14754938
Good luck. I hope you take the CG yakuman dragon suggestion to heart.

>>14754606
Make it so it has open riichi and noten riichi.

>>14754954
This. Also don't let it show your waits when you're in tenpai. That's fucking lazy on the part of the player

>>14754938
Make it so that the client automatically quits once the user chombos.

You don't need to register a SEGA ID. If you download the PC version, it will automatically generate a username and password for you. You then choose your nickname.

Just make sure you write that ID and password down or take a screenshot of it.

But if you want to register for a SEGA ID anyway, here's a guide I found. It's for a different game but I think the fields are the same.

Well, time to make a walk through. Because if we want people to play, well, gonna have to make a path for them to get there.

From this screen, I click on that "pencil" looking icon in the bottom left. There, I see the MJM ID with a given password.

>>14754938
If you want something that stands out, allow some house rules like open Riichi and pareenchan

Oh, I see. Type the Nickname into that box.

After the avatar choices, there's this stuff.

So who's gonna make a room so we can play free hanchan?

>>14755447
That's the region select. Go to その他 if you want to be outed as a filthy pig gaijin and get the bad RNG seeds.

>>14755447
Region selection. I don't think that really affects anything (maybe matchmaking for connection quality purposes?), so I just default to Tohoku (東北).

There's an Android app too, and it lets you play against people on the PC client, but you need to be in Japan to get it.

>>14755494
Or you can use QooApp. I'll give it a shot myself and see if I can get hooked up.

>>14755494
You can just use Bluestacks and download the apk, it's pretty easy to find.

Also if the lobby isn't filled after like 5 minutes of waiting, it kicks you automatically, but the lobby remains open and you can just rejoin

That wasn't a guaranteed yakuman, so it doesn't count. Even pro's riichi that.

Also, decide whether you're attacking or defending Kuyashi. And don't throw out someone's double wind before you throw out an honor tile. That's just silly.

That can't be said every time in higher level matches. You're basically an open target for the others when you riichi so it just balances out.

Careful UNIVERSE, you might not advance if fumofumo busts. Your best bet would be dropping San-san to last.

The finals will be four hanchan, winner takes all. We'll probably split it across two days, but I'll announce the details once I've worked out a solution with the players.

>>14768701
I would have played that hand differently if I didn't have the gigantic lead from match 1, so I avoided discarding the dora at all costs.

When I had the 57999 pin and had to discard I would have dumped the 5 and called riichi. Sure enough I would have tsumo ippatsu with a monster hand the next draw.

Even if you were in the lead, and even though you got a dealer mangan to finish off the game despite not needing it, I still feel bad for you.

Why is it that if two people have the same score by the end of the game they a get different amount of points?

>>14769162
dealer priority?

>>14769162
In the event of tied scores at the end of a game, then the tie-breaker based on the initial wind seating (or the first hand) may applied. The player closest to the dealer position takes the higher position. Afterwards, the final score procedure takes into effect. Even with tied scores, the player in the lower position will receive a lower uma score. Alternately, any oka and uma may be split evenly between the tied players, resulting in a shared placing. The specific ruleset in use determines how this is handled.

>>14769168
>>14769185
Oh, that's unfair. I dislike rules like this along with atamehane, it's even more shit based on luck.

>>14769202
It's pretty fair. Being the first dealer isn't exactly advantageous, while being the last dealer is. Not to mention tie breakers almost never happen.

How do you defend this?

>>14769959
Is this a trick question? People only ever ask when it's a trick question.

2m just passed, so it's safe against toimen and shimocha. If kamicha is waiting on it then he must have either a kanchan or tanki. You can see three 1m and three 2m, so neither of those waits are likely. On the off chance he does have a 2m wait, his only possible yaku are tanyao (which rules out kanchan and dora) or chun (of which one is already out, and he'd more likely discard chun while defending than those manzu middle tiles which can be used for mawashi uchi).

>>14770068
Unless you got 4th, you didn't lose.

>>14769959
1 sou looks like the obvious play, but you should consider the chance that A has a kokushi based on that board.

Since you won't get another draw you might as well just play the 2 man though.

>>14768931

>>14770126

2man is safe against A and B., and 99% safe against C.

Its hectic and fun, allowing for the matches to be quite fast paced, but meant to be just an introduction

What can I do to slowly keep them getting more and more into the more complicated rules?

How the fuck do people calculate hands when playing in real life? There are too many steps involved. I'm drilling point calculation right now and it's taking me more than 5 minutes to do everything in my head.

>>14771851
Simple memorization. All you need to do is be able to calculate the Fu and Han of your hand. There are plenty of score card graphics that take work out of the picture.

>>14771851
You really only need to have a few memorized. Specifically the 30 and 40 fu values from 1-4 han for dealer and nondealer. As well as Ron vs tsumo.

Charts can help, but it's almost as simple as 1000, 2000, 3900, 7700

>>14771879
>>14771896
So it's more efficient in the long run to memorize the charts rather than work everything out?

>>14771851
I don't accurately calculate it but overtime I learned to estimate it more or less.
Basically, I'd know a low value hand with just a yaku is about 1000 points, and the hand's value always reaches a value where east would be able to pay 1.5 what the others pay. so if that step doesn't match, then I certainly fucked up somewhere.
I admit I mostly play with a 2 yaku minimum rule as well though.

>>14770820
There aren't 4 of any terminal/wind/dragon in play so you can't eliminate it.

A has exactly 1 terminal discard, which wasn't made until halfway through the hand. That isn't a normal pond so he is at least one of the following: an idiot, doing betaori after a failed Chanta, or trying for a difficult hand.
Based on the discards you can probably eliminate Chin Itsu which really only leaves Chanta (which he wouldn't have discarded the 78 sou so early) or Kokushi Muso.

As a result the board looks as though he was either full betaori (with some very odd discards to start the hand) or trying for a Kokushi Muso. Whether he made it to tenpai or not is irrelevant.

You don't know anything, but it's more you can't eliminate it, so there's no reason to push it especially when you have no way to reach tenpai.

Chances are the 1 sou is safe, but there is no reason to take the chance, especially since we know the 2 man is safe from A and B with C having already discarded the 5 man.

>>14772384
Now that you broke it down it makes sense. Thanks.

Fewer mistakes, usually involves people riichi/dama when they should have done the opposite.

More bullshit comebacks from other players. More defense at end of rounds so you win fewer last-minute hands.

That about sums it up.

I was just going for the more probable wait since chun was the dora indicator and I figured the last one was probably in the dead wall, or if someone had it they would hold onto it for dear life considering the lack of sangenpai discards. Shousangen with 6 dora was good enough for me. If someone dropped the red five it would be sanbaiman. I'd rather finish my hand than be stuck eternally in tenpai. I've had the latter happen way too often waiting on impossible shit.

Then again it doesn't matter since I constantly fucked myself over and completely established myself as the village idiot now.

2p was the dora though. I don't think either of us would have tossed it.

By all rights you should've tsumoed the daisangen and put me in last. That 6p discard threw away a toitoi sanbaiman if you got 6p instead of chun, so I have no idea.

No way, that's still Gogo, but we love/hate him for it. You just need to improve on your decision making a bit. Such as how you threw out the 4 pin right after that and went into a furiten wait on the 2 man. That was kinda bad.

I was going for more waits. From my point of view there were four 5-pin and only two 6-pin which were probably being used in other people's hands.

I know, that was fucking retarded. I have a bad habit for playing too many games in one sitting and then I go and do stupid shit. I've learned my lesson, though.
