@mindfulmahj@experimilk Would have preferred a model keeping the tradition while modernizing, e.g. [(dots) (amount) (dots)] or [(dots) ( ) (amount)]. But they did make them thicc with two Cs. 🧌 🟩🟩🟩 🧌
@Shelbynhooo Les deux seules options de rechange sont des groupes de 3, ou des groupes de 6. "Équitables" mais totalement indésirables pour deux raisons opposées mais tout aussi détestables.
Fellow mahjong pro Sho Shiratori (JPML, Shibuya Abemas) showing off pro poker skills at WSOP 2026 Event 59. Let's cheer him on, 29 or 30 left in the field (min payout is 6540 USD [35th] from $500 entry). 🧌🎉
A fellow pro and great friend @Mikelittlepony1 hosted JAY during a stop in his eurotrip, here's a bit of their chat. (Thanks to Jérémie for the repost @jpdm_mahjong ). #wrc#wrpm#mahjong
I have been invited to join a team with other professionals, probably the tallest team ever. 0900-1300 EDT on Saturdays, I'll be here. Bring it! 🇨🇦🇩🇪🇳🇱🇹🇩🧌
Hot take: Mahjong compasses are crutches. While they have uses at teaching events, they should be replaced by a solid block of nondescript material, or with nothing, at tournaments. I've seen and heard enough over the years. We did this for rulers and racks, new struggle. 🧌
Hand in the way but sitrep: four Riichi calls made. Game continues. Duration: 1 move. West (bottom left) gets the one-shot from North (bottom right). 2600+300. Sometimes watching is its own fun. 🧌
@MJEtosan The community at large has numbers to offer a range of "products", of which: amateur clubs, amateur study/practice sessions, amateur tournaments, then eventually Pro-Am events (WRL opens) and pro-tier leagues, ladders and tournies. Jumping between environments is really tough. 🧌
For those following my recent health issues, I am back to full strength (with meds) and will be in Ottawa 🍁 this weekend. Because of the change in situation, I may or may not be a referee, but I wish everyone present the very best.
Small update: Troll's health scare has mostly passed. I will be out of commission until May 30, date at which I should be in Ottawa at the tournament. Can't confirm if staffing an active role, or spectating.

Playing with a (temporary) disability... Losing your voice changes so much in how you interact with mahjong as well as the players. People went out of their way to be kind to me: making tea, checking up on me, the euro meds. I hope to reciprocate more in the future. 💚🧌
Troll plays mahjong. Troll in tournament. One round to go, placing about 12th/64. 12141 412_ results. Thanks to the Budapest team, @tamas , Ildiko and others.
My voice also has results: 55555 555_. RIP 🤐🧌
