| Without going into long arguments (some of them have been already made) I would like to point out to the author of the above article and to those who sympathise "let's have fun" movement: - do not confuse "fair play" with "have fun" or "we are friends"; - do not confuse tournaments with casual game; - EMA makes tournaments, not casual games; Moreover, you should be prepared for inevitable: if EMA continues to develop mahjong as a sport (I hope they will), the tournaments will become more and more organized and regulated, the players and national association will demand more rules and order. If everything goes well there will be a day when the majority players do not know each other and nobody would ask for "offer of assistance" from other players and the players who try to play like in early days ("Hey, pal, do not forget to take replacement after the kong!") will look strange and disturbing. |
