I played two games last night and every single opponent was calling every single time they were able. At one point the three of them got into a pon chain and I couldn't draw a tile for an eternity. I of course got ron'd by each of them for 1000 points at a time. Insanely frustrating. I hate the bronze table.

Not drawing is hard but making a rule that I can't unless I have a near certain yaku has helped. My last game I riichi'd twice, once for enough points to outlast the surging Adept 3 who made a late run for the win. Got my promotion with that 1st place!

Is there an easy way to see the final scoreboard for each hand without playing through it in the log? I'm wondering what this Ippatsu thing was

You get ippatsu if you get a win on the first turn around after declaring riichi defensive play is never bad after someone has riichi'd but the threat of ippatsu means that on that first go around after they declare you want to make doubly sure you dont play into a ron

Ippatsu translates roughly to "one-shot." If you ron (or tsumo, I think) before your next discard after declaring riichi, you get more points.

also good to note that any tile calls immediately end the ippatsu period

I went from a 50000 point lead to second place last night I put 100 hours into Elden Ring and I never got half as furious as I do at the loving baby's table in mahjong

Past two games I surged out to an early lead only to see it dwindle to second place after not drawing anything in the rest of the game. Its some game alright. So I have a quarter million bronze coins already. Just what the heck am I supposed to do with them?

Save them until you get close to maxing out a character's bond level, then buy the spheres you're missing to unlock their alternate outfit

The first season of Shiniki League played its first 3 games a few hours ago. It's a league where four M League pro players (Ooi Takaharu, Matsumoto Yoshihiro, Suzuki Taro and Murakami Jun) drafted teams of VTubers and play a schedule of 30 hanchans over 10 days. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3N7cLF8C8Pg This being Mahjong, of course two of the pros who played today finished last and one finished first.

Feel bad, I had to bail on a game. It was going excruciatingly slowly and I needed to make a food pick up. Everyone had to agonize over each discard. Well, everyone other than the player that disconnected in the first hand otherwise I'd feel worse. e. lol I still placed second (it was the second to final hand that I had to leave) Bilirubin fucked around with this message at 01:14 on May 10, 2022 |

A fun round. (Maybe not for the person to my left.) Always remember. No matter how badly you play, there's always the option of holding a round hostage until you win.

Nice! Seeing how you can link back to replays is cool. I just finished off my morning round with one of the stronger hands I've scrounged so far. Got my first cat in sunglasses icons on my progress chart too

Just gonna leave some of my favorite clips from the recent M League semi-finals and finals here... Ooi agonizing over a discard, desperately trying to keep his dealership after Tojyo riichi'd with 4 visible dora. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0k4DZoMTtXk Tojyo with a 12,000 hit on Date, who mistakenly thinks 5s is safe after Tojyo discards two 4s from hand and Hori discards an 8s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9bXi5enwIA Uotani gets into tenpai for yakuman, Four Little Winds https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HrBPFN-hVs Kondo gets a Baiman on a furiten tsumo in the last game of the finals to (temporarily) put his team in the lead for the championship https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1McaugxRyg Okada, Kondo and Hinata all get into tenpai at South 4 with chance for first, pain ensues https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HXpmoRDJiE Hinata overhauls a 30k deficit by getting a direct hit on a shocked Asakura, followed by a 18,000 tsumo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYmOglGTmGQ

In trying to get better at Mahjong, I have gotten worse. In the past few months, I have gone from about to rank into Expert to about to fall back to Adept 1. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I definitely need to learn to defend better. I'm always walking into decent hits. Also I shouldn't be diddling around on my phone between my discards, but, ya know.

Go RV! posted:I definitely need to learn to defend better. Those two are very much related. You need to pay attention to what the others are doing* to defend *or not doing...if someone declares riichi and you can't see a single dora in the discards you should be very scared instead of trying to push that 2000 point hand

i think the two most helpful things to learn for discard reading are visible dora, and spotting when someone is going for/likely tenpai for flush

Morning game was blessed, could do no wrong, won all but one hand, two Mangan and another Baiman. This too will regress back to the mean but hopefully not before I promote to Adept (I am just 8 points away  )

I was recommended all the way last year when I started playing to just move up to Silver Room, and I'll pass that recommendation on to you. You'll have somewhat better opponents to push you to improve your skill. If you're interested in South-round games (which allow for a little more consistent play), it's much easier to queue up for those. And you can start earning items that will let you engage with the gacha system if that's something that interests you. (You get free items as you play, items can be converted into stardust, stardust can be converted into summon scrolls.) And as far as ranking goes, points are biased towards ranking you up to Adept 3, even with average play. Ranking from there out of the Adept level will require you to be better than the room as a whole, of course, but that will come with experience, time, and patience.

Finally making adept makes worrying about ranking less and I can continue to focus on improving play. Nothing more satisfying than pulling out a last minute big hand to jump into first for the round. I assume south rounds play east then south, so a longer game? Somehow one of my more recent matches in east game rotated into a south round as well, which was weird but ok. At what point will my stats even out to be interpretable with any meaning? Only 46 games played so far so no statistical power yet for sure.

you go into overtime rounds if no player has over 30,000 points at the end of the game (this is because technically your starting score is 30k with a 5k ante). there is a niche desperation tactic when you're in last place to force overtime if you can't directly overtake anybody else in points
