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 founded Longhorn Riichi in Austin, Texas and served as its president from 11/2021 to 12/2023. I now lead Queen City Riichi in Cincinnati, Ohio.
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.
- Tenhou. My stats. Started playing more after joining ARML; my highest rank is 4 Dan, around 880/1600 with 1842 R.
I also played Riichi City, Sega MJ, Yakuza games’ mahjong etc. but so far I’ve only really seriously played Mahjong Soul and Tenhou.
