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 !

Well done french team ! ;)

Martin Scheichenbauer wins home match

 

gurk2010-top3GURK - ‘Herr Notar’ Martin Scheichenbauer moved from Feldkirchen to Gurk last year - and so the Open Austrian Championship  made the same move. No surprise that, today, Martin won the first Austrian championship which took place in his new station.

Johannes Scott-Weijers from the UK (living in Hungary) was the runner up, Patrizia Buscarini from Italy won the third prize. There were 44 players who combined in the competition.

Johannes Scott-Weijers received the Sisi Cup for the best accumulated score in the 2010 Hungarian and Austrian championships.

Magdolna Bogarnè Nagy, who won the Hungarian Open one week before, did not play in the Austrian competition.

 

Third victory 

sisi2010After the Open Italian 2007 and the Open Hungarian 2009, it is the third victory of Mr. Scheichenbauer in a MERS (internationally rated) tournament. He now holds this record together with his fellow countryman Otto Myslivec and Danish player Martin Wedel Jacobsen.
