Continuing Writing

-

The entries here come in phases.  Historically, I go into bursts of writing with gaps of no-writing inbetween.  This pattern has been lifetime, as far as I may remember.  Due to lack of writing plus pen and paper, many of my thoughts are lost through time.  If I am lucky, I may find some and actually type them up.

My writing will intermittently continue, but I shall not be making this promise.  "I will try" is all that I can say on this matter.

The biggest determinant to my writing or lack-of-writing is tied to my general mood.  My thoughts run constantly, but my will to jot them depends on my overall feel.  After all, some of my thoughts are not worth sharing.  Other thoughts are indeed worth the notation.  For what its worth, I hope to have enough written down to reflect some of my lines of thinking.

Banned from Mahjong Soul Discord

It is unfortunate, but I did my part lightening up the place in there.  However, that was not enough.  Instead, I ended up with multiple infractions that render this ban.  After all, it is their house, their rules: Am I guilty of these infractions?  Yes.   Was it my intention to trigger this ban?  No. For the record, this is the list of infractions: June 14, 2020: Case ID: 257 Posting a borderline NSFW image of Hisa. July 4, 2020: Case ID: 276 Political criticism, where I said, "Trump sucks". July 11, 2020: Case ID: 288 and 289 Unsolicited harrassment, where I pinged one mod who I perceived as a friend at the time. July 30, 2020: Case ID: 1074 Unlisted and unrecollected warning.  This must be the first ban warning. October 22, 2022: Case ID: 1177 Inadvertent off-topic discussion regarding Starcraft with a few others. December 7, 2022: Case ID: 1238 Typed a basic German sentence, but failed to provide an English translation. December 12, 2022: Ca...

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 th...

The following are words to the 2025 ARA Invitational :  The invitational weekend is here.  Some have already arrived or are on location.  Others will be traveling today. To everyone participating, once again - congratulations for making it to this tournament.  A few of you have played in a single open tournament to qualify; while the rest played in multiple tournaments last year.  It is both a cost and a commitment to play in these tournaments. Nevertheless, we do so because we want to. I for one apply this very principle to my own mahjong, to my club, to the Internet, and certainly to the country and beyond.  We only play mahjong because we want to.  Yet keep in mind: Participating in a qualifier-based invitational is a privilege.  In fact, every tournament is a privilege, but it is more so here because of the entry barrier.  You all should feel this; you earned your way to get here. As a reminder, all players have eighteen hanchan in nine t...
