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).

The Last Ju of Chengdu 2007

Cameramen mobbing Li Li, the new world champion.Secretary-general to the World Majiang Organization WMO, Mr. Jiang Xuanqi, tells Mahjong News that 'he has investigated the matter thoroughly'. He also claims that, during  the meeting before the actual start of the competition, ‘a five minutes break after two rounds was explained’. Also, he says, during the final, Li Li’s opponents did not object his sanitary stop.

If, as Mr. Jiang says, Li Li’s opponents agreed, there seem to have been a misunderstanding, given the way Imaeda protested. But, eventually, Imaedi-san did not raise a formal objection. And thus ended this impeccable WMC.
