Mahjong - for real, not the silly Solitaire kind

I have no idea how interesting this thread is going to be, but basically:
MAHJONG TIME
is a pretty neat site that lets you play various versions of Mahjong online.
You can create your own game or you can join in on the fun, and they offer a wide variety of rule variations depending on what you're familiar with. (For the record, HK rules are the one true set of rules.)
Free accounts have a daily "chip" limit of 1000, where you can play more games if you win more often, but otherwise when you run out of chips for the day, you can't play anymore until you get topped up the next day.
Mahjong Time is also kinda neat because the game tells you what the tiles are as they are being discarded, so you don't have to worry so much if you don't read Chinese.
If you're totally new to Mahjong and kinda wanna learn how to play, you can read this:
A MahJong for Beginners Class Outline (PDF) that I put together for a course I'm going to teach at a local community centre later this year.
Games go pretty quickly on that site, but if you set up your own game, you can set higher turn times so you have more time to think about what's happening. I won't have much time to play until next week, but I'm happy to help with any questions you may have (so long as it's about Hong Kong Mahjong since that's the type I've been playing all my life).
Like I said I have no idea how interested you guys are in this, but if you are, let me know what your username is on that site!

They cast a shadow like a sundial in the morning light. It was half past 10.
I'm probably too lazy to play online though.
and I'd be happy to teach ya! I've been looking for regular people to play with since I moved here
I'd invest in a half-decent set
ebay sells them too

(don't get the Mini sets, they are made for tiny people)
FUCK MY LAST GREEN DRAGON IS STUCK UNDER MY SECOND TO LAST GREEN DRAGON
while fun, it's a different kind of game
Japanese rules, Japanese language, may or may not float your boat.
I only really play when I see my cousins or when one of my mom's friends wants to take a break from their mahjong marathon, and then I always get schooled.
I learned to play it a long time ago, but I want to learn again, with a rad set and the tiles and shit.
Probably some opium or something too.
are you surprised I wrote a GUIDE to learn mahjong?
I will look into this game later.
it will be pretty awesome
Teehee.
half the shit that Confucius said
he didn't actually say
Well I just got my tiles. For $13 I can't complain. The tiles are really quite nice, but the shitty box they came in is a shitty piece of shit, so I'll probably end up just making one out of wood.
All I gotta do now is learn how to play.
now i have to read the rules, ive always wanted to try (and inevitably fail at) this game
I suck at it though.
Someone teach me to not suck.
I will read over your guide beforehand.
what is this and where can i see more?
However, the ring will never leave your finger, and you will be unable to ever describe to another living person what you see.
