World of Warcraft Mahjong Set

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 !

The mahjongwolf is back

Linz123-2011

LINZ - For 1526 days (starting August 18th, 2007, at Dunaújváros) , the president of the Baden mahjong club, Martin 'Lupo' Hoffmann, had not won one single tournament. Today, at Baden/Vienna, this unfortunate series came to an end. Thanks to the misfortune of his major opponents in the final session, Martin Mauthner ('I cannot play mahjong against three women') and Otto Myslivec (who scored just 1 point), 'Lupo' finally could strike again. The tournament was not MERS rated by the European Mahjong Association (EMA).

Championship

AustrianChampion2011Ever since 2006, in Austria a national championship has been organized. Until now, never a lady could win, after Otto Myslivec (2006, 2008,  2010), Norbert Tschinkel (2007) and Martin Scheichenbauer (2009). For the current year, this would be different. Doris Sallmutter was number 1 in the ranking, followed by Alexander Doppelhofer and Elisabeth Frischenschlager. The Linz tournament would be decisive. But, to Doris's disappointment, it was not she but the number three of the World Mahjong Championship 2010 who grabbed the title. Doris ended in third position, after runner-up  Alexander Doppelhofer.

quote from article: Thanks to the misfortune of his major opponents in the final session, Martin Mauthner ('I cannot play mahjong against three women')

Even if that was an actual quote, it was tasteless to put it in the article. Unless sniping is the new editorial guideline on MN. Didn't know how to take that reference to me in the Copenhagen article, but I sure do now. Thanks. o_O
