message: What governs the scoring of Mahjong Titans?  I can't find rules for scoring posted anywhere.  Shorter times don't seem to increase scores...?  Clearing 4 of a kind doesn't seem to increase score...? Unsigned question by 207.55.0.250
:I don't know for Mahjong Titans, however for Kmahjongg the scoring is as follows:
:*20 points for every tile removed (so it is possible to score with a "stuck" game)
:*1 point for every second of gametime left under 20 minutes.
:*20 points off for every cheat used (hint etc)
:*200 points off for a reshuffle
:The maximum theoretically obtainable score is 2880(stones)+1200(time)=4080 points (if solved immediately). Interestingly, it pays off to get "stuck" as soon as possible: a direct "stuck" board will yield 1200 points, well enough to get you into the default high scores (the "default" high score is set at only 400, where I usually get between 2800 and 3800 points (Yes, I'm slow, I know).

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Taipei.png

message: I removed the following paragraph because of multiple errors:
A game called Ac Chen was released for the NeXTStep system, which was basically mahjong solitaire with pop culture symbols on the pieces instead of traditional Chinese pictures. It is now also available on the Nintendo DS, on the Clubhouse Games games compilation in the US and the 42 All-Time Classics in Europe.
AcChen is a port resp. remake of Sarakon by the original coder (Stefan Preuss). Sarakon is a variant of Shisen-Sho, not a Shanghai-type game. Like Shanghai, it has layers, but the rules for removing stones are the same as in Shisen-Sho. For this article it is not really relevant.—Graf Bobby (talk) 12:04, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

message: The lead is longer than the article itself. I'm thinking the organization could be instead be as follows:
Lead:
The lead would only contain its current first paragraph, minus the sentence about GNOME. The first two sentences of the second paragraph could be useful too.
Article:
# History
# Variations (from lead paragraphs 3 and 4 and the sentence about GNOME from lead paragraph 1)
# Playing Strategies (from lead paragraphs 2 and 5)

message: The article says "As the game is based on mahjong tiles, some confusion arose with the 4-player mahjong game.", which seems to be rather an understatement. It would be intriguing to find out about exact numbers, but my suspicion is that hardly anyone in Europe has any idea that "Mahjong" is actually something else than the single-player game where you stack bricks that can be played on the computer in so many variants. 129.69.215.37 (talk) 12:31, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
