Question about Majong

Thinking32 SG

hi guys,

I encounter this case: I throw 1 wan but my down people eat the card but he took wrong card 4 wan. In the end he zi mo.

I told him he mistake liao the card I hit is 1 wan and not 4 wan ( he claim that I should have told him straight away when he took the wrong card ).

to my own view I still think he 詐胡. ( cos he took the wrong card ).

do share your view. Our stake is rather high and house rule stated we not allow to say out other people mistake during the game.

"( he claim that I should have told him blur blur blur )"

"I told him he mistake liao"

contradictive..

s0nic SG

this is a case of 詐胡, no questions about it.

in the 1st place, we are not obliged to say out if someone make a mistake. sometimes ppl tend to forget to take their cards that they eat or pong, or they take the wrong card.

the house rules is already set that u all are not supposed to say out if there's a mistake, then he should follow the rules, and pay up the penalty for 詐胡.

@ ItchyArmpit, i think what he meant was that, he didnt voice out that mistake when his friend took the wrong card. he only told him that he took the wrong card after he zi mo. and his friend said he should have told him straight away that he made a mistake, which by right shouldnt be the case. :D

Personally if he has 2 3 wan and requires a 1 or 4, it does not matter to me that much whether he took a 1 or a 4 since ultimately his tiles are still correct and will still win no matter what. However if he took the 4 wan and use it in a way that the 1 wan cannot be used then obviously it is a za hu

s0nic SG

dkcx, yea i agree with u personally it doesnt matter. but taking the wrong cards may change a game.

=O idk what you are trying to say =X

dkcx, yea i agree with u personally it doesnt matter. but taking the wrong cards may change a game.

Since the cards thrown can't be used anymore and all cards thrown or used are on the table for all to see, i don't feel it will change anything about the game since the 4 wan originally was already thrown already.

Pay attention to ur studies and u can learn how to play mahjong in the future :p

s0nic SG

hmm dkcx u know the game right? when the tiles to be drawn is about 7 1/2, there is this "bao" right, where if u throw out a card that isnt in the pool, and someone games from that card, u have to pay for all right?

let's say, if he take 4wan and eat, and by 7 1/2 tiles, there is no 4wan in the pool, and if u are already listening and u know u have a chance to zi mo or game, then suddenly u draw a 4wan. 4wan is not in the pool, therefore most of the time, u will not want to throw it out and keep it instead to prevent yourself from getting "bao".

this is where it will change your game, from u listening to cards, to not being able to game.

Ok i know wat u mean though that doesn't happen very often in the games i play

dkcx SG

zha hu, no question about it.

Deepnds on how strict u wan to be. Playing with friends/family etc don't need be too particular la unless u heavy gambler.

Personally i play mahjong more as a past time and to accompany my grandparents etc rather than for real gambling so its more a social game for me.

s0nic SG

yea dkcx, depends on who u play with.

but even when i play with my family members, we also go by the rules. once za hu mean za hu. no questions abt it. lol

that's one reason i try not to play. when sitting on the table, there's no relationship. You can always talk about them after the game and I alway take the chips as plastic until after the game.

Dejomel SG

If it's family, just point it out the moment you see it. Let your family member amend the mistake made, then carry on the game.

If playing with outsiders.. different story.

dkcx SG

Since its a social game between me and my grandparents, uncles, aunties etc, we are not really particular. Our aim is to past time and chat over the game and not too particular about winning or lossing though i tend to make big cards and loss often becos i greedy :p

SevenEleven SG

i'm so heartless

dkcx SG

i'm so heartless

Assuming u play money, too money minded :p

I play with old ppl, must be understanding. If don't play with them, they really got nothing much to do. Mahjong is 1 of the few things that makes them work their brains and prevents from alzheimer's disease
