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 !

German ‘Bube’ stays ahead of Dutch competition

Winner Kylian Stöckemann, between runner-up Anton Kösters (left) and Jaap Croeze.DORTMUND - He is the hope and pride of mahjong playing Germany: young Kilian Stöckemann. Two years ago, at Edewecht, his father Richard was the first German winner of a MERS tournament. Today, at Dortmund, the sixteen year old ‘Bube’ (the kid) was the only German in the top five of the Dortmund MCR Open. The numbers 2~5 were all for Dutch players.

These results reflect the nature of the tournament, an initiative of German/Dutch player Jacob van der Zee. Jacob is a Dutch who lives and works at Weeze, Germany, but plays mahjong at the Golden Dragon club in near-by Nijmegen. So when, in cooperation with DMJL-president Uwe Martens, he decided to organize a second German MERS event, he choose Dortmund as the venue, since this is an easy trip for most Dutch. And with success: of the 44 competitors, there were 18 Dutch (besides 24 Germans and 2 Belgians).
