These Mahjong games ( and there are bloody loads of them ), are they in the same league as 'Poker Ladies 'and the like ? i.e a bit of sense/understanding to play the games , but basically down to pure luck in the end ,depending on what the CPU / Computer gives you ? And a glimpse of some female flesh as your incentive? ( nothing wrong with that of course , I`ll be the first to admit that )(posted 8772 days ago)Of course I could be wrong here. Probably am , I`m on my 21st ( yes 21st) can of Fosters. My point is ( well sort of ), is there a serious element of skill involved ? If so , cool. I`m just too lazy or drunk to try to find out myself. My Japanese isn`t up to scratch anyhow. If it`s a luck- factor ,well then no LB points should be awarded , as per other games with suffered the same fate. Still play + upload , but no LB points.
Now the thing is, I could be completely wrong here.Probably am , and will accept all flames. Maybe they are games of pure skill and ability, but if they are ' Casino -type games '.......well " nil points " ( no offence to any Norwegian 'Eurovision Song Contest' entries....WHAT ??? don`t worry , it`s a European thing....the joke that is )
But hey , I`ve never seen any of these games in an arcade , or a pub/bar/saloon..whatever. Just as well really , cos they look a bit complicated , judging by Phils post above about the scoring mechanisms. I can`t believe I`ve answered a post about a game(s) which I haven`t played for more than 5 seconds. But when your as drunk as I am now , at 1200 GMT , with feck-all to do , sure why not ?
So, are these games skillfull and worthy of LB points , or am I talking thru my a**e ( thats "arse" , for non-english speakers )
I`m off to check one of them now. Chances are I`ll be asleep after 5 seconds....or quite possibly playing for a few hours ! Yes , still got a few beers left.
Apologies for waffling , and getting eventually (?) to my point, but hey it`s Christmas..,nope it`s the New Year , actually the start of the 3rd Millenium. "Alex, Alex.....please stop now."
Definitely a rather 'David Oliver / JD Lowe -type post this. Mostly meaningless ( LOL ! ), but....what was it again??? oh yeah , my query about those Mahjong games.
If any of you have had the patience to read this , i commend you.It`s taken me about an hour to type this. Typing when very,very drunk ,is not easy ( ask Zwaxy ), but I`m a grammer-freak and hate mis-spelling words. "It`s a Guiness thing..." as Mr.Lowe would say , and keep at it,and at it..( mis-spelling 'Guinness '..that is )
Hope I haven`t offended anyone with my drunken waffle , or belittled the original post set by Phil. But just asking a question about the Mahjong games , thats all.
Oh...btw...Zwaxy isn`t a wino. I never said that. But he comes across as a cool geezer ( ye can gimme that tenner later Chris ).Like me ,he likes...ahem...err a 'few pints ' . Think I better go now before I go into 'Ben-Jos-post-mode ' which I`m nearly at now , word-wise. I`ll regret this in the morning , I know,.....Actually tits , it is morning. But hey , Pubs are open so it`s off for a 'curer'...not that I need one ,it`ll give me something to do and put an end to this post.
Cheers everyone !
AL ( waiting for flames for a) time/msg board wasting, b) err..babbling on about whatever it was I was talking about , and more importantly c) mega-flames from the Mahjong players. Why the f*** did I even bother with this post ? it`s taken me an hour so far.
p.s Phil , didn`t mean to distract from your post , honestly. But your French , so you might understand :)( my drunken state ) No offence , but I hear you French are fond of a bottle or four :)
p.p.s hope to God , one of those Mahjong games isn`t the next KOA game. Now that would be strange.....Chris Parsley , you wouldn`t , would you ?
p.p.p.s QRS ( or anyone ), if you decide to visit here....you know what to expect :)
outta here......." thank God " ,I hear you say...
