Curse you- how could you ever complain about getting fourth consecutive losses when I got like 13th consecutive 4th streak? >.> (though it was more due to my mindset instead of luck) Congratulations on your yakuman!
Also, change in my schedule due to familial matters. I'll be surprised if I can get even a hour of mahjong session in until June 1st, fml.

Like Starcraft, Mahjong seems to be something you need to frequently play to be good at, otherwise you'll forget everything and play pathetically I didn't even know I wasn't playing in dan room until the first game was over.

Don't be deceived by results; if not for completely undeserved luck last hand, I would have gotten 4th on the first game. Totally full of weedy mistakes. I think the decrease in my playing quality was mostly due to loss of my self-control. You can see in both games that I chose to fold much lesser than I used to- there are several instances where it would have been wise for me to not force my hand. And then there are stupid discards too, but I always made those even before my hiatus Last edit: 2011-04-29 06:30:17 |

| I've tried to learn this yesterday. Got the 4 sets + pair somewhat down, but scoring and hands completely elude me yet. Any recomendations where I could learn this? So far I'm playing against computer on some online site so that I can recognize stuff a bit faster. |

your first stop should be wikipedia and there you search for japanese mahjong scoring
and then you try to memorize the special hands and try to get them in a game  |

Hah, I had no idea this thread existed. Used to play alot on Tenhou like 2-3 years ago and got pretty decent. I probably suck now, though.
Might pick it up again. Mahjong is fun.  |

| For once in a while, I'll have a lot of free time to play around tomorrow. So maybe if any of you guys are free perhaps could arrange a meeting on that IRC channel. |

Just read the entire Akagi manga up to Book 24, courtesy of someone who was generous enough to translate it in Korean. My impression: LOL (in a good way). Trying to emulate Washizu while playing mahjong for yourself is like trying to learn mahjong from watching Saki- utter exercise in futility.

Oh lol I am like 10 days late. If your message still holds, I am going to have plenty of time around June 2 or so, hence I'll shoot you a message around then. We are going to have to find like two more people though.

Started playing again and doing pretty well. Just hit the 1700 rating and I hope I will continue to go up. Need access to the 1800 room :>
/edit: And right after I wrote that, I got last place, FML -.- First two rounds really killed me there and afterwards I neither won, nor lost anything.

Path to 3 dan is atrocious and grueling indeed; spent a week getting my account into 500 pt using whatever free time I can get, then immediately get pulverized down to where I began after placing 4th -_-.
Maybe I play too cautious, but I never seemed to get 1st place ever (unless I am extremely lucky). Current Status: 二段 415 / 800pt R1571Last edit: 2011-06-09 23:54:54 |

My account is messed up now anyway. After I got 3rd/4th, I went up to around ~1750 and afterwards I just lost, lost and lost some more. It was horrible and probably my first time ever that I raged. Whatever I did, it didn't work. Riichi worked like 1 out of 10 times because they either dodged it or someone declared riichi afterwards and won immediately. No matter what I went for, winning tiles being random, terminal or honor, even when I concealed it, so that they can't read it from my pool, it was useless. I dropped below 1700 and told myself: "Well, now let's go back up" but I ended up dropping even further and I always wanted to win again but the exact opposite happened. Was at 500+ points, 1750 elo, first place at close to .333 and now I'm ~100 points, barely above 1500 elo and .250 while 4th is over .300 now. I don't know how many games went wrong but it was a lot, easily 50+ and they all fucked me over. I got first...maybe three, four times -.- I so hate games with luck involved, honestly -__- Didn't play for a week or so and don't really intend to pick it up again. It was just too frustrating. But at least I'm still 2nd dan, thank god they didn't take that away. |

Oh God, speak no more. You are reminding me of that 13-straight loss streak that originally brought me raging in this thread -_- Makes one understand how people can believe in flow and shit. Your situation sounds definitely more painful though...

| Haha, can't believe he discarded all those dot tiles. Normally you would think he would stop after the second tile or so, but no, he didn't. And I don't think he really tried to accomplish anything, except for winning that round. |

Wee, hadn't been here for a while. I also forgot how exhausting & time-consuming mahjong sessions can be -_-;;

Oftentimes I feel like this thread became some sort of my personal blog for every tenhou session I did, with how little activity that goes around here.Last edit: 2011-07-14 04:08:12 |

Thank God. Barely managed to make up for the mess I made initially.
Log of games played today + Show Spoiler + Also does anyone want to arrange a meet-up again? We should try to set specific date/time because frankly the first TL Tenhou Meeting was product of freak coincidence (and Caller magic).Last edit: 2011-07-20 05:51:04 |
