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 !

Top 3 of Nijmegen 2007NIJMEGEN - Ms. Bo Lang from Switzerland has won her second large international tournament in three months. Last weekend, in the Dutch 'mahjong capital' of Nijmegen, she was the best on the Third Dutch Open Tournament (the Golden Dragon Tournament 2007). Just three months ago, Philippinen born Bo won the Second Austrian Open in Feldkirchen.


For the first time, the Dutch Golden Dragon Tournament, which next year will celebrate its 10th anniversary, was dominated by foreign players. Ms. Silke Bansemer from Germany was the runner-up, while the third place was for Belgian player Peter van Damme. The fourth position was for Mr. Ton Rijnders from the Netherlands, so he became Dutch Champion Mahjong Competition Rules 2007.

Also the best team was a non-Dutch team. The first prize was for the team 'Belgium', consisting of Peter and Michel van Damme and Jan and Linda Thomassetti, all from Belgium.

The day after the championship, the traditional Friendship Tournament took place. This was won by Gerard Strik, Sr., from Holland. In the overall classification for both tournaments Janco Onnink, also from Holland, was the best.
