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; my highest rank is 3 Dan, around 900/1200 with 1825 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.
