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 !

Doris hands over the Gourmet Cup to ‘mummy’ Gabriele

gourmetudine2012-1

UDINE, Italy - Serena Porrati from Italy today has won the Udine Open Tournament (MCR, MERS 1). Runner-up was her fellow-countryman Marco Milandri, third place was for Stefan Tschinkel. The Udine Open was part II of the ‘Gourmet Cup 2012’, a yearly Italian-Austrian competition. Gabriele Sallmutter booked the best overall results, so the Gourmet Cup was for her. Also the second and third prizes were for Austrian players.  Last year, the Gourmet Cup was won by Gabriela’s daughter Doris.

The ‘Gourmet Cup’ is an initiative just like the Austrian-Hungarian Sisi Cup, which takes place each year during two sessions. All mahjong players who are associated with EMA can subscribe. The Gourmet Cup goes to the player with the best accumulated results in the two tournaments, which take place in Austria and in Italy.

Final results of the ‘Udine Open’, a.k.a. Gourmet Cup vol. II
