| While it's true that MahjongTime is dominant in the Anglophone (and/or non-Japanese-speaking) community, to be quite frank it deserves to die and I hope and pray that it will. Why? Because, quite simply, the interface is absolutely awful. While there are certain constraints from the platform used, the amount to which MahjongTime's client sucks is inexcusable. It's clunky, it's ugly, and God damn the sorry excuse for a meld system. Right now, MahjongTime has an effective monopoly on much of the Anglophone market, because for one it has a huge playerbase who don't know of anything better, for two because there aren't any significantly better clients (Mahjong Logic is somewhat better - still somewhat slow, and a tad clunky, but it's a big step forward), and for three because by having such a large base it's self-sustaining. It should die, but it won't. Anything that leads to MahjongTime's swift demise is A-OK. I'm unlikely to play MahjongLogic in its current form (it has potential but it's not reached it yet), but improvement is improvement. It's not hard to make an online client that actually plays decently, as Tenhou shows us; it just isn't going to happen if people are still basically forced to accept worse. Or they'll just bugger off to Tenhou; I've seen many people who can get past the pathetically slim language barrier do so. |

I am say with certainty that God will not hear your prayer. However I pray that you will find some peace and resolve any internal turmoil you experience that lead you to such hatred towards a GAME site....astonishing really.
