worldofwarcraft

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).

MahjongNews publie dans une langue étrangère. Je peux lui pardonner l'usage d'expressions qui auraient pu être dites autrement. ("too smart" au lieu de "outsmarted")

Par contre, la réplique n'était pas drôle. Informative, peut-être (donc ayant quoi comme but au juste ?), mais ce n'est pas de l'humour, ni du premier, ni du troisième, ni du énième degré.

Ce n'est pas parce qu'on rit que c'est drôle.

Senechal, the title is third-degree humor, to point out the funny situation: 4 French players are ranked in the upper 5, but the winner is Italian.

This contrasts with the EMA MCR country ranking, which is led by France.

The "Poker Face" won again, congrats to him.

By labeling group A "too smart", you're essentially labeling group B as "retarded".

When can we drop this sick hyperbole once and for all? I mean, it seems like you aren't even playing mahjong to have fun anymore.

IT > FR. "Yeah but what about..." IT > NL (with innuendo that FR > NL). Sounds more like a penis-measuring contest than a game we can play together...

Participant in the competition :
french 34/96 = 35%
dutch 27/96 = 28%
italian 7/96 = 07%

In the Top Ten :
french 6/10 = 60%
dutch 3/10 = 30%
italian 1/10 = 10%

And it's not because of dutch players if Marco lose 2 times 2 points... WE have done our job ;)

He was just the best, once again : congratulations to you Marco !

First Championship of Moscow

Vladimir StepanovMOSCOW - For the first time in history, a Russian mahjong tournament has been held. In Moscow, the newly born Russian Mahjong Federation organized the Moscow Open Championship (Mahjong Competition Rules).

It was a modest start, with sixteen players, but these players came from far-away places as St. Petersburg and Astrakhan. Subscription to the tournament was opened one month earlier, and in that time some 30 applicants subscribed, but they had to cancel their subscriptions for various reasons. Organizer Mark Chizhenok, who recently also played in the World Championship in Chengdu, was quite satisfied about the interest for the tournament.

 

Of course, there were some problems for this first event. Not all players were quite familiar with the Mahjong Competition Rules, and toward the conclusion of the tournament temperatures in the playing room dropped below what could be called comfortabel. Also, the lighting in the room was not great. But Mark Chizhenok hopes that, in time, the Russian players will improve their skill so they can compete on the level of European tournaments.

The winner of the first Open Moscow competition was Vladimir Stepanov from Moscow (16 table points, 435 scored points); runner-up was Anna Stepanova (11 - 424), third prize was for Kovalev Natalia (11 - 179). The event was registered by one of the nationwide TV-channels.
