World of Warcraft Mahjong Set

AMSTERDAM, May, 16th - Chinese internet company and World of Warcraft regional publisher NetEase has made a limited edition ‘World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria’-themed mahjong set.

Each set costs 1,288 renminbi (USD209) and includes a fully playable mahjong game, complete with tiles, table mats featuring WoW game maps, dividers and chips, all in a thematic wooden carrying case. The board’s decals are designed to look like artwork straight out of World of Warcraft, with a color palette reminiscent of that used for structures and environments in Mists of Pandaria.
Only 1000 of these mahjong sets will be made available worldwide, although the set only appears to be sold through the Chinese-based company. Pre-orders are being taken right now. More pictures are shown on the NetEase website (link below).

Fans (HK) or fans (MCR)

In the official MCR rulebook (aka "the green book"), the scoring elements are called "fan".

I'm more worried about "NOT a simple" magically turning into "ALL simples".
Anyway, it seems this part was intended to refer to any fan.

No need to pay tourney fees then, eh?

Scott: According to you, Martin the player should feel no shame with his actions. Thus far, I agree completely.

The problem I have is that this is being used to "make news". It tarnishes whatever people like me perceive to be attempts to improve the individual and overall level of gameplay, especially since MN is the most prominent news outlet for EMA events. The verdict is that there is no improvement, and you don't need to participate in 3 tournaments to figure it out.

I'll keep my money from future events, unless the majority of players come from the #1 English riichi community website. My advice for the rest of you: claim haneman+ every hand. Eventually, people will count...

I don't think so, maybe with starting point equal to 0 it's true, it's more severe than uma, but when all players start with 25k or 30k it's not severe (even uma, imo). Last time when we played tournament in Poland, there were some bridge observers and all of them told us that the system with starting points 0 and 'player with more tenbou points wins' isn't good to determine the best one. They've just reccomended tabple points or something similar.

No no no. The "almost" indicates the thought crossed his mind, but he didn't do it.

Though, anyone with an itchy-trigger-finger would have done so and not realize the consequence.
