Rainbow Ichi> I'm pretty sure those will be there, since those are regular items.  But just in case, I will tell them again

basically, the most common furiten comes from the fact that you Ron off a pai that you dropped.  Another Furiten is you didn't call Riich, and the opponent drops the pai you needed, but with that tile you can't make a yaku -meaning you must Menzenchin Tsumo it to get the yaku.  Another really bad one is once you call riichi, and the opponent drops the pai you need but dismiss it (which basically means you must draw the winning tile).

I think that's all for Furiten
ex:

you called riichi and you are waiting for either a 3 or a 6 from your 45.  However, if you dropped a 3 or a 6 previously, you are in furiten.  If you were able to call riichi, and your opponent drops either, but do not take it, it's furiten

there's like a thread of people wanting to play weiss in the front page...

pretty much, or you are waiting for the winning tile, and you can't call it, even when the opponent drops it (due to not enough point value in the win hand you have)

Dora and Under Dora are always the next tile
So it goes 1>9, E>S>W>N, then Haku>Hatsu>Chu (this is the one I am blurry on too)
ura Dora is only available when you put in Riichi

As for Ron, it's Yaku, but it also has to do with what you made that yaku out of.  I had a Dora 3+my Wind, and I couldn't call Ron, and it became a furiten (soo pissed off that match).

just post it here, we can probably figure it out...

if I was pro, I wouldn't be asking for help scoring -lol

we aren't putting money into this, so don't worry.

no it's not heavy (lol)
I am commuting this con, so I sorta want to stay light as possible.  Regardless, I think we can get some interest in so I'll bring it
and yea, I was thinking Riichi Mahjong too.

I'll relay the message for Nori-Ten.

MPLe> Do you want to work stuff out with this region manager?  Please let me know through PM

Mango Cream Soda, i think they have...  Just the ones from Sangaria though...  And Milk Tea is...  hard...  Since I heard any milk product import into US is nigh impossible due to Mad Cow scares.

Fanta Melon is probably a tall order too (lol)

well, the last sale was $.99 ramune (5 types -or six, I don't remember)
usually, $1.99 or so...

I asked the guy about Green Tea Kitkats, he says he's trying as hard as he can.  Let you guys know if they have it

It seems like food is always on the topic of discussions at forums.  Just to let you guys know there is a Nijiya market near the convention (although I've heard it's a walk from the convention.

I also happen to know the region manager of Nijiya North California, and he is asking me what con goers may want to see at the San Jose store.  Currently they are stocking up on
- Onigiri
- Sandwich
- Bento
- Japanese Snacks and Drinks

if there is anything in particular (snack brands, drinks) people want, I can relay the message to him.

I guess three is ok enough to bring it to the con...
sigh more stuff for me to lug around~

I be in the game room at night playing WS...  So yea, I'll just bring it in case then

Anyone want to play?  Depending on who wants to play, I may bring my tiles (although be advised, these are Saki tiles [lol])...
I am trying to learn points and what consist of "chonbo" and "furiten" and "no Yaku".  Trying to gain a different experience than playing through tenhou

oh, I was thinking of bring this...

^ from what I recall, there weren't that many
and for sure, there are definitely people playing Weiss in this con, especially at night.
