tenhou is not full of bots

Seriously. There are only two bots that are run consistently, and none run in 7447. Sometimes they are tested in 7447, but it is incredibly unlikely that you will see or play them. You should not mistake fast/good players in 7447 (however …

mittens placed 34/114

The tournament went really well. The results can be seen at http://blog.tenhou.net/article/32101991.html. Overall 114 people played, and 115 registered to actually play. It would have done better had it not disconnected in the middle of a …

poor judgement on defence

It seems the modification I made backfired. I'm fairly sure it was a result of the lazy way I implemented it. Tiles like 1,9 were considered much better to throw than honour tiles when, actually, they weren't. I should probably separate th…

improving defence

mittens' greatest weakness is dealing in a lot I think. Here is a sample of the deal in rates of each tile: (note: 1~4z = ESWN; 5~7z = haku, hatsu, chun) 1m 98 2m 100 3m 130 4m 146 5m 187 6m 158 7m 181 8m 126 9m 99 1p 80 2p 149 3p 143 4p 1…

forged tenhou names

I knew I could do try this months ago but I only just tried.Names on Tenhou have a maximum length of 8 characters *1. Registering IDs is done over http by http://b.mjv.jp/regid?uname=# where # is the desired name. There isn't the 8 charact…

mittens registered

I bought 2 months of credit and then registered mittens for the upcoming tournament. I got the following message: res=1027&expire=20090905 E1027 like the CSREG FAILED error E1026 I haven't seen before, but I can guess what they both mean. …

entering mittens into a tournament

The CS command is as follows: players - number of registered players *1 title - tournament title (this one is 第4回 はこパラ!まー娘カップ) rule - rules, format: starttime,endtime,gametype,minrank,maxrank,minrate,maxrate (0 means no limit…
