Does anybody know where the tweeting button is now? I don't seem to find the button to tweet the videos anymore. Please help.

Question: Do you really have to sort your tiles? I mean, that's a real handicap...

[multiplabipower]

@OzixiThrill Well, more advanced players won't sort their tiles of course...

[thehighcoco1]

whats that song playing in the backroudn called?

[multiplabipower]

@thehighcoco1 Well, that background music was auto-generated by my authoring software.

[thehighcoco1]

@multiplabipower oh alright . ty . have a good say :)

[Ewelf]

@multiplabipower Hello please you can give us a video with only music of your software?

[multiplabipower]

@Ewelf How do you mean? Just a blank screen with background music? ;-) If you like the music: I used "Magix video deluxe" software to generate it. Not expensive. And rather outdated meanwhile...

Sorry, can't read german:P What was his final hand?

[multiplabipower]

Sorry, it's too long ago and the quality of this video is not good enough. But the hand earns 20 points, so it's quite good. Looks like an all pungs, half flush combination containing a terminal and a wind pung.

[shousangen]

I like the color of this tile:)

[diuleeseafood]

dont seem to be playing 144 tiles.

[multiplabipower]

But they are: 9x4x3 (Dots, Bamboo & Characters) + 4x4 (Winds) + 4x3 (Dragons) + 4x2 (Bonus tiles) = 144.

[zanpakutogr]

Hmm... the pace is kinda slow compared to the ones played in Asia. Is this the normal speed in Europe?

[multiplabipower]

Well... Our speed accelerates with increasing playing experience... Asian players are still ahead. ;-)

[zennyy1]

wow they place the tiles so nicely, i usually just toss them out. Makes it harder for people to guess what im playing.

On the other hand placing it like this is also challenging :)

[lyokogrl]

Their pulling the tiles off clockwise, isn't it suppose to be counter?

[multiplabipower]

The player's turns change counter-clockwise, but the tiles are pulled off clockwise.

[Khohezion]

dollar a point is how to play :)

[mindging]

q pasa q es esto? en donde carajo me meti se supone q..un juego de viejos??¿¿? me largo

[AznB0ii900]

they dont know how to set up the titles the fast way they put like 5 at a time only

i was grow up watchin this game and u just get 2 rows n stack them

[exiit]

yeah, that is definetley the best and fastest way to do it. However many people don't take the short time to learn that skill, especially if you mainly play online (as many from europe do). There can also be a problem with stacking that way if the tiles are to big, but they seem to be the regular size in this video. Plastic tiles can also be a bit slippery so an inexperienced player might refrain from it on a big event. Another way of stacking is to make 4 or more rows. But you're right AnzB0 :)

[idkeys]

In the Philippines, we do the same...we throw them anywhere...not nice and tidy! I think it's more interesting and challenging if it's random because you have to recap and remember who threw what away...

[alcowhorelication]

In taiwan, we just throw the tiles out seriously...we don't place them nicely

[multiplabipower]

According to the Chinese Official Rules that apply for this tournament the tiles have to be placed in rows of 6 in front of each player. Thus it's easier to make a guess at a player's tactics.

[RyanFresh]

what's with the suspenseful dramatic music? It's only a game of mahjong.lmao.....lol.

[multiplabipower]

Well, it depends on what's at stakes! :)

[zennyy1]

true :) High stakes mahjong is really stressful :)
