My Riichi Presence
A summary of things that involve both me and Riichi Mahjong, including my club, my apps, the games I played, etc.
Club
I am the founder and president of Longhorn Riichi. I am also one of the primary contributors to the tech stack of the club (website, bots, etc.).
Apps
- Ronhorn. Longhorn Riichi’s main server Discord bot, including commands for club operations and commands for online Riichi game utilities. The latter largely depend on the InjusticeJudge module.
- UvUManager. the Discord bot for Longhorn Riichi’s special tournament UTA vs UTD, including commands specific to managing the tournament.
Games
- Mahjong Soul. My stats. Fun fact: I dropped from Master 3 3379/3600 to Master 1 ~1000/2800 in a long stretched unlucky streak; it made me question whether I deserved to be so close to Saint before.
- Tenhou. My stats. Started playing more after joining ARML. As of writing, I’m at 3 Dan with 1825 R.
I also played Yakuza games’ mahjong, Riichi City, Sega MJ, etc. but so far I’ve only really seriously played Mahjong Soul and Tenhou.
Leagues
I joined American Riichi Mahjong League during its beta season. As of writing, I am in the highest division (A1).
Miscellaneous
Tournaments
Riichi Nomi Open 2023
This is my first ever in-person open tournament. It was very nice to meet all the people who I’ve been talking to online (e.g., on ARML). I placed 54/120. Here’s a derpy picture of me during a tournament game when I sensed the cameraperson approaching:
IORMC
I also played in the IORMC’s 2022 USA qualifier and ended up as 21/24 – didn’t qualify.
UTA vs UTD
I have organized 4 iterations of this special intercollegiate tournament between UT Austin and UT Dallas. I led the UT Austin team (i.e., Longhorn Riichi) to win 3 of those 4 iterations!
Intercollegiate Mahjong
I led the UT Austin team to win the Fall 2022 Intercollegiate Mahjong Teams Tournament. Our team also got 2nd place in the Spring 2023 Intercollegiate Mahjong Teambattle.
