language for most of us , so we would happy if the posters could post
their remarks for corrections.

Thank you for posting the English translation of your rules. The
English translation is good enough that I understood what you were
trying to say, so no need to apologize for the English.

I am a little confused by the Comments on Page 4: "the value of the
dragons ... the wind has the value: ..." First, I am not aware of any
other rules where it is necessary to assign "relative value" to any of
these tiles (Kards) -- all tiles are equal as far as I know. Second,
I didn't notice any other reference to these "relative values" in the
rest of the rules. So how does the fact that W>E>N>S affect the game?
Similarly for the dragon tiles?

Thanks again for doing the translation for us.

I think they're allowing chows of winds and chows of dragons.
Thus ENS is a chow of winds, but WNS isn't.
Bizarre - why start with South?

Acctually , you right that this rule never used in game , it's the
reminder of our mah-jong newbieness 1.5 in the past (we kept it for
constructing special mah-jong for the Toutoment mode when we would
have enough members) .Also , like in the source of our rules (Chinese
Classical) no Chows of the winds allowed.
