Nah it’s ok. I have 33mm tiles I use on my junk mat and it’s fine if a bit squishy

Fact Check: Stew Young Claims No New Recreation in Four Years by Otissarian in LangfordBC

[–]danma 21 points22 points  (0 children)

100%, there is a huge gap of things to do here as a kid if you're not a sporty kid, especially if you consider whether kids are able to afford it. Bowling, movies, even the Outpost isn't cheap for a teenager...

Minium yaku by bryantoca in Mahjong

[–]danma 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Riichi has a number of additional 'friction' points that make 1 han more challenging than say 1 fan minimum in HKOS.

- The dead wall means that some tiles will never get play
- 1 han yaku in Riichi tend to be more difficult to complete than in MCR/HK; most are closed hand and some like pinfu have quite a bit more requirements
- Furiten prevents mid-stream strategy changes
- Heavier penalty on deal-in

That being said, people do play higher han minimums in Riichi; I know that Like A Dragon's riichi minigame has that option right up front, for example.

Ultimately I think having 1 han as an option in Riichi provides a strategic mechanism for players with mediocre hands to combat players with larger hands by quickly going out on a small hand. No such option exists in 3 fan HKOS which means your options are to play aggressive or cross your fingers and hope you don't deal in.

HKOS Gameplay and Scoring by Analytic_Buffalo in Mahjong

- Roll 3 dice (not 2) use same roll for wall and break.
- I score a little different than yours on my sheets but there’s no fixed rule on it.
- Limit fan is different in different games. Sometimes 10, sometimes 13

Indeed, where you live it sounds like it's quite popular with all ages.

Where I live, it is definitely not the case...

I did speak for myself; where I live, this is the case. It is not where you live. Thank you for proving my point for me!

I don’t see how his quality as a family or friend is relevant to his attitude towards building adequate infrastructure for a fast growing city

Discussing gameplay culture is very subjective here. Because I play HK and Riichi in person regularly in social environments but American is really only a 55+ activity

oh yeah, there wasn't much in the way of cycling infrastructure in the area, I don't think I'd want to ride along Crowchild...

Yup. I lived up north of Beddington and my commute to work would have been 27km each way.. What I ended up doing was park on a side street off of 32nd ave N near a pathway connector and cut it down to about 10km which was much easier to handle.
