jabro posted:Yes please! Heck yeah! The more the merrier. For simplicity's sake I'm going to skimp on some of the rules and terminology of mahjong and focus on four points that I think will create a foundation from which you can play the game online with relative confidence and to be able to learn the rest as you play. Mahjong is easy. There are three suits of tiles numbered 1 through 9 and an unsuited set of honor tiles. There are four copies of each tile for a total of... 136, I think? The objective is to be the first to complete a hand by assembling 4 "sets" and a "pair." A "set" is a short straight (4-5-6 of the same suit, for example), a triplet (3-3-3, same suit), or four-of-a-kind, and the "pair" is two identical tiles. Each of the four players take turns one-by-one by drawing, then discarding a tile. Any player may instead claim the most recent discard to complete a set or to win the game. When a winning hand is assembled, either by a drawn tile or a claimed discard, the player reveals it and shouts "tsumo!" or "ron!" to an audience of cheering, adoring faces. Mahjong is hard. That is the basic game, the real game is in scoring points and taking everyone's money. Japanese mahjong requires you to complete a hand as described above and score a minimum point value of one "yaku." A yaku is awarded when you complete specific hands or satisfy certain conditions (Such as having 4 triplets or a same-suited 1 through 9 straight). There are a lot of them and you have to memorize them. Don't worry though, there will most likely be a full list you can pull up in game at any time (Oh, god I hope there's a list). The best way to learn, I think, is to pick two or three easy yaku from the list and focus on winning with those. Once you're comfortable, try more yaku and soon you'll be winning more games and with more points. The more yaku you have in your hand, the larger your score. The losers pay a pot the winner based on score. A win from a drawn tile will have the losing players split the cost of the pot three ways, however a win from a discarded tile will have the discarding player pay the full amount. Furiten: The best rule. "Furiten" states that you can not win a hand by claiming a discard if you have previously discarded a copy of one of your winning tiles. Every player's discard pile is kept neat and tidy for this reason. You will be able to keep track of both your and your opponents' discards. This means you can deduce what tiles the other players might want and avoid playing into their hands and getting stuck paying the entire pot. That one trick I know about. Tiles can be divided into three categories: Honors (winds, dragons), terminals (1s and 9s of each suit), and simples (2 through 8). These categories are based on how easily you can match sets with them. Honors being the hardest, then terminals, then simples. Keep the valuable ones, throw away the rest and your hand will come together quicker. Of course, your opponents know the same thing. Read their discards. Honors usually come out at the start of the game, simples when a player is about to win. Be careful, but also be daring.

Huh, I've only played Chinese-style mahjong before so I had no idea about furiten. That'll make things interesting.

It's weird learning Mahjong because all I've ever known is what my grandma taught me and I have no idea what it is. It's most likely some local version of Chinese rules in Guangdong province.

Kirby's mahjong experience: 1) Shanghai on a Mac Colour Classic in primary school 2) Each and every time it turns up in Yakuza, saying to myself "This is it. This time, I learn mahjong", then five minutes later making some kind of horrible blubbering sound as I use the cheat items because I still don't get it So basically, Doman Mahjong will be 2) but without the cheat item and probably more horrible nosies.

Once - by accident, and despite my repeated attempts to replicate it since - when Chaos jumps in the cyclone phase, I timed dragonfire perfectly to where I followed Chaos all the way across the arena, right through the cyclone, and get landed on. Nobody realized until they got to the boss and they saw my corpse already there. Like, from one corner all the way to the opposite corner, further than the normal range on any of the jumps. I didn't even know that could happen. Never have I felt more like a dragoon. If only I had been recording

Occasionally you get really unlucky and get the DOT, but it isn't lethal usually.

Mystic Quest might be one of my first RPGs played / completed. It's a bad game these days of course, but it was a great for a kid in the 90s. I keep meaning to go replay it for the hell of it, but i'm never going to be able to do it without a turbo / autofire button.

The music being that good that quickly was a legitimate achievement. I still want something MQ-related to appear in FFXIV just to give Soken an excuse to rock out with that soundtrack.

Finally met one of those fabled newcomers-who-bought-boosts in Leveling Roulette at Sirensong. They were the Tank. The concepts of "tank stances", "enmity combos", or "using abilities besides auto-attack, really" were fairly beyond them even with some light coaching. Unfortunately, the rest of the party also seemed to be returning players both unfamiliar with playing healer and what stack markers were for, themselves. At the third wipe on the first boss, someone finally voted to abandon. I did suggest the tank run Hall of the Novice and/or rolling an alternate character to try going through the early story first until they got the hang of their buttons, but it seems like there could be something in place besides "the 2.0 MSQ + Job Quests" for that kind of case. Though I guess if Squareenix already has their money,
