IT'S LIKE I'M REALLY A MAHJONG-PLAYING SCHOOLGIRL
Apparently according to Osamu he’s been getting quite a few hits from people using terms like “plus minus zero”, so I am making a short post on this. If you are interested in emulating Saki’s feat of breaking even at the end of a match on tenhou, here

Delving into the vile abyss that is the internet, one of our intrepid explorers found this arcane document. She handed it over to me and promptly expired. I thought it appropriate to show the world a glimpse of what lurks beneath. Her sacrifice will not be in vain.

Big list of Japanese Mahjong terminology

Last week along with osamu’s post I decided to start playing 3p with my 4p account on 0000, aiming to reach 1800+ Some of the highlights of yesterday’s session – I played late into the morning, resulting in at least one messed-up game that I will talk about later.

Wait Reading
TRA here. This time, I’ll go further than just explaining why a two-sided wait is superior to a closed wait. Instead, I will talk about the basics of reading a hand’s wait. In mahjong, there are three basic sequences for the numbered suits. 1-4-7, 2-5-8, and 3-6-9. The
