Where is the US Riichi Community now?

-

First of all, what is the US Riichi Community?  

It is composed of every player of riichi mahjong in the United States - may they be individuals or members of a club.  Right now, we are all located in our respective parts of the country - where we should be - enjoying the game - as we should be.  Everyone has their story and direction with riichi.  This includes how we all started - why we play it - and so on.  Whatever may be your reason and story, you are here.   Here's to mahjong and the reasons we have to subject ourselves to it.  The purpose of this Discord is to connect as many riichi players in the country (and more).  Then we can share, laugh, and cry about this game.  Here's to riichi mahjong!

Anyways, that was the opening text to its Discord: US Riichi Community.  My general purpose is to gather as many players in the US as much as possible.

Majsoul Influential Player Mark

I saw this mark on one player before, but I did not know what it was.  Now I do.  Majsoul staff have the privilege of marking players with a "verification mark".  This mark comes in the form of a gold paw as shown here next to my username: To simply put, my general activity was notice.  My activity in the Majsoul discord as well as frequent play went into account.  My participation in the first Catfood Bowl came to play; and finally, the work done on the Majsoul Tournament Guide. This along with helping a friend work through a mahjong project today helped made my day.  My next task is to rank back up to Master 1 and potentially qualify for the next Catfood Bowl tournament announced earlier today. Addendum the next day After an extra day, I had to think about this post and exposing a method to acquiring the same cat paw.  Something tells me: it was supposed to be secret, but I was not instructed to do so.  I could delete the text.  Instead, I shall give some enco

Catfood Bowl S0 Tournament

The Catfood Bowl S0 Tournament was the first official tournament on the Mahjong Soul English server.  This was held at the beginning of the month (June 4-7), starting on the day returning from a Las Vegas.  Ten players from the North American riichi player base, as well as ten more selected from the general English Mahjong Soul, participated. Here are the full results  along with replay URLs posted in the Mahjong Wiki .  Likewise, the respective Twitter postings from English Mahjong Soul were collected.  Video is available via Dasuke's Twitch stream . Overall, the tournament was fun.  To see a mahjong stream with a hundred plus viewers is astounding.  In general stream sense, this is very paltry low.  However, for a mahjong stream, that is a lot. The tournament layout was interesting, as it utilized the double elimination format.  As far as tournament formats goes, brackets in mahjong are not all that practical as pretty much "anything" can happen in a game.  Ho

My First "Houou" Game: Review 1

Technically, I was playing in tokujou.  However, why were these three 7dans entering my game at the same time?  Either way, I was glad to get this opportunity to get a sample of an " actual houou " game.  I have faced games with three R2000's before; but usually, they were 6dans.  So, this felt much different. The game can be viewed here:  http://tenhou.net/0/?log=2019060708gm-0029-0000-15d18a22&tw=2 Given this rare opportunity, I made sure to enjoy this game as much as possible.  The primary goal was to survive.  If I was able to win, great, but I did not.  I took my third and lived. Now, unlike my Twitter post , I am looking to cover this game more indepth to see what I could learn from it.  As a note, comments with each respective image is below the image - not above. With 1-shanten by turn three, it was a good opportunity to get some kind of jump start on them. But it took this long to get to tenpai at all, and this was a natural pon.  Otherwi
