At our table, the veterans of the mahjong club sat down for four rounds of the game, and Ray definitely made a comeback from his losing streak last week, winning almost half of all hands that night! On the other hand, he made a false declaration of win, which caused us to agree to the punishment for that mistake: If any other player self-picks their win, he has to pay for all three players. If a player wins by discard, he pays half of the cost for the hand (Though we never really decided whether or not it was possible for him to win that hand afterwards). For the record, this is the same as our 'insurance rule' if you deal into the final open set of a limit hand or a Full Flush.
Micheal made a mistake midway through the game, forgetting to replace one of his bonus tiles and making his hand short. It was a beautiful hand too, with both of his bonus tiles, so that might have cost him a bit. On the other hand, his self-picked Thirteen Orphans in the west round more than made up for that, sealing his win by a long shot!
Felix was really off of his game today, apparently having wasted all of his luck coming out on top last week! His score was the lowest I'd ever seen, and the only hand he won was the very last hand of the night!
I didn't play my best either unfortunately, just barely leaving the game in the red. On the other hand, I set a new personal best towards limit hands by being one-away-from-waiting for a Thirteen Orphans hand. After checking the wall, if Micheal hadn't discarded Ray's winning tile on that turn, I would have drawn the twelfth orphan too.
FINAL SCORE
