also how much did you have to whale to get that character?

I think I've spent... $100, maybe $130 total on the game? Something like that. I don't actually have all that much from the gacha, I'm just a sucker for red pandas so I did however many pulls it took to get enough of whatever currency it is to direct purchase her.

you get about one free ten-pull a month if you do the five bucks a month and collect all the jade. I just save it all up until there's an event with a rate-up i want

Red pandas are cool and good and so is that character.

I use the panda scare a lot in the "chatty" rooms, and the angelic one is great for when you tsumo.

I did this once and pulled Nadeshiko with the resulting jade. I suspect I will never buy it again now, although of course I realize that is what a lot of people say.

The $5/mo deal is by far the best one in the market, but it's also a really obvious psychological ploy to get you logging in and thinking about premium currency every day.

Malnutrition is scarier than any beastie.
Zan was the first character I pulled and I love that he has two different "well gently caress me" emotes.

I spent a year on the Fortune Charm plan in Mahjong Soul to help motivate me to stick with it and to get some decorations to help me stand out from a sea of Mikis and Ichihimes. I haven't yet reached my goal of Master rank, and as my rank has increased, it seems like there's been a natural diversification in avatars and decorations. But overall, I think the investment worked according to plan, I'm satisfied with it.

As for the current Peerless Ichihime event, it sounds like I need to play more. I'm not so concerned with getting the tablecloth, but it would be nice to get a couple of spare summoning scrolls, and I'm only halfway there. This past week has been doldrums for my 4-player account, but I'm starting to get close to bringing my neglected 3-player account into Expert. It's been a good 'safety valve' for this event which emphasizes winning lots of hands. (And for some reason I don't really like the idea of playing in unranked. Not really sure why.)

"I have 30 minutes before I need to do a thing. I should have time for one 4-player east game while I wait"

*25 minutes later*

"Okay the game is on south-3 due to cavalcade of incrementally tinier Rons on previous rounds. But now I can finally go to 8-tile wait, at least 5-han Riichi that should end the game. Just let me discard this bambu 3.."

Ron! Green Dragon, 1 han, 1000 points.

Game goes to south 4.

Can someone tell me what I have done to displease the Demons of Mahjong?

Dear god, I'm less than 200 days off of the 1000 one, and was under the impression that was the last one.

I took a look cause i also thought it only went to 1,000 and while yes theres a 3,000 days its not needed for a title. As in, the cheevos are seperated by groups and if you complete all cheevos in certain groups you get a title. The 3,000 logins is in one of the groups with no title, for good reason.

Oh thank christ, I was worried that getting that title would be basically impossible.

Never show mercy, and take advantage of those opportunities as much as you can. For you know that random chance is whimsical, and you'll eventually get a yakitori game where you can't even get into tenpai, much less win, to balance that lucky streak out.

I've definitely had my share of games where I'm either never in tenpai or get it right before someone else wins, yeah. Just the, "well, I sure did get to watch this game happen around me" feeling.

Funniest thing is when you get second place in a game like that. Luigi gets second place by doing nothing.

I also got my first Sanbaiman. Praise Sanma. It was the first hand of the game, too.

Just had this nonsense of a hand and it made me wonder. Can you combine chiitoitsu with other yaku? If you build 7 pairs out of just honor tiles, is that counted as the "all honors" yakuman? Can you have chiitoitsu + half color or chiitoitsu + all honors and terminals?

Yes, there's even a house rule (local yaku) that counts it as the double yakuman Daichiisei/Great Seven Stars.

Yeah you can stack some of those yaku on chiitoi. Some of them are house ruled double yakuman. The compatibility chart is sad to look at: https://riichi.wiki/Chiitoitsu

Thanks. It is unlikely that I will need this information, but it is fun to know. It seems that all honors chiitoitsu is called "Big Seven Stars". That's cool.

You can buy it from the store. Worth 800 tickets, which is 800 jade. I thought it was worth 4 spins.
