As mentioned in my previous post, it has become apparent the the epidemic that is WAHJONG is slowly getting out of hand.
More and more people are falling prey to this social ill. Tutorials are being left undone, notes are not being read and FYP reports are not being written.
WHY WHY WHY WHY????
Why and how has the such an evil crept into our lives.
It is because "IT IS DAMN FUN!!!!!!!"
Why is it fun as compared to the real thing?...well I can't really put it into words so I'll uses somebody else.
As quoted from Xiaxue.blogspot.com
The problem with MJ is, besides the fact that people slowly start to play bigger and bigger until it starts to become a liability, is that MJ, being a game where money is involved afterall, BRINGS OUT THE WORST IN PEOPLE.
If somebody just threw a Zhong and you throw a Zhong next round only to pay for a 5 tai limit, there is nothing funny about it. Or, if you want to win a 5 tai limit only to have the guy in front of you win your winning card first, that is enough to send the best-tempered of us up in fury.
If those are not enough, perhaps you can try my faithful MJ situation: Throw what draw what. Awesome.
SO.
Online MJ is better in this sense, because you only feel a tad annoyed as there is no money involved anyway, and you don't have to face other people's tempers.
(I used pink cause they say she likes pink.)
I actually thought it was just the fact that it was more convenient. No need table, no need tiles, no noise, NO NEED TO FIND KHAKI!!!!
Hahahaha, but hers sounds more profound and intellectual, so we'll just stick with that instead.
However, one of the irks of wahjong is what I call the "One Tai King" strategy.
Since money is not involved in wahjong, the only incentive for winning would simply be the bragging rights and the experience points so that your character levels up faster.
Because of this, some people don't mind winning with just one TAI.
My roomie, Wong Kiki or
keeballs as he is more affectionately know in wahjong cyberspace, uses this strategy a lot. THE BLOODY CHEAPO!!!!!!
So for those Wahjong-ers out there. If ever you see Keeballs join your table, watch out for the One Tai King!!!!!
Alternatively, you could just join the 3 to 5 Tai minimum channels. Despite his nick, keeballs got no balls to join you there. Ahahaha
Despite my stand towards wining with a small number of Tais, like real mahjong, it is still very difficult to win BIG BIG in wahjong. Those who play will testify to that.
However, it has finally happened!!!!
Someone has gotten a 13 terminals(13 yao) win in Wahjong!!! The chance of winning with this hand is preposterously hard. I can only wonder how gan cheong he was while waiting for his last tile. Ahahahah
Getting this hand has placed him in the annuals of Wahjong history. No doubt that future generations of Wahjong-ers will look upon this man as a legend.
Well, lets all find out who the legend that is AhBearBear really is
Congrats to AhBearBear for winning big big. The only thing that will probably cause slight pain is that it wasn't in real mahjong or else HUAT AH!!!!! AHAHAHAHAA.
I heard that two players left that table after his win. ahaha
