Le Havre: the concept of interest position.

newbies may not realize it yet but the position of the interest would determine the strength of the loans.

loans in le havre serves for one sole purpose. that is to maintain the amount of cash flow in game. one may argue that you could 'take loans' to buy a ship or acquire buildings. they should be noted that the cash flow would be at most $3 which has limited application or just a plain waste of action.

then how would the position of the interest tile affect the power of loan? this is a interesting game with 1-5 players moving up in a track of 7 tiles. 7 is not divisible by 1,2,3,4 or 5. hence one would have a chance to move into all the tiles in the game.

obviously the best position of the interest would be in the middle. where at 4er that you would always land in a tile after deliberately without deducting your just-recent-loan-taken. and the positions at the two ends would not be as good as the middle as one may take loan due to interest/food requirement but then penalized for the other one very soon. and on the other hand, one may have cash problems if the cash flow for that particular turn is not very high while the demand for money is high when you have to take two actions

but then one should be noted that this is not the sole reason to decide to adopt a loan heavy strategy or not.

and if you are taking more than one loan for each loan taking session, i.e. having more thatn 3 food short, you should seriously consider getting a ship or a stack of food.

又是特南食.

特南食另一個不同的地方是, 親家可以比在有赤牌的時候進取很多. 留意在門前清小牌的時候所要付的分數.

可見由親家打出抑或由該家自摸, 因為多了門前清自摸和這一役, 親所要付出的都沒有多大分別. 因此在平場的時候, 親家可以比有赤牌對局時更進取. 當然, 這個理論亦都可以擴展到有赤牌的對局中. 相信有腦袋的人會明白在什麼情況下可以這樣.

而進取的程度, 根據某本書記載, 是幾近全攻, 除非自己牌超爛就是. 是哪本就忘記了. 必然是とつげき東北或者是小倉孝那本. 有興趣的讀者可以自己查查. 這裡就讓小的偷懶一下.

特南食的狀況

最近喜歡上打無赤牌的日本麻雀. 本來是想打一篇文來簡單介紹一下有赤跟無赤策略上的不同之處. 今天倒是遇見了一個比較不常見的狀況. 可以簡單說一下

注意這是特南食(無赤牌)

MFC:UV 開打時的成績

兩個月前MFC 終於轉代了. 當然一年一度的我也會拍一拍自己的成績

只是我龍時代真的打得不多, 其實變化不大. 半莊還是跟東風有一段差距. 最大的原因是我在7以前因為價錢問題根本不會打東風. 當然會很大成績上的差距.

唯一有趣的地方就是因為MFC:UV的價錢系統, 令到我多打了買取半莊, 變相減低了因為不補life 4位率, 本來以前差一點點的, 轉代後沒多久就變成1st > 2nd > 3rd > last 的'美好結果'

我一直是想開新卡的, 只是段位黃龍不繼承, 倒不如不要打. 如果konami 肯推出重設統計的服務的話視乎價錢我是很願意要的.

some economic point of view.

a lot of people discussed with me about minimum wage and public housing. actually my stand is quite clear. minimum wage would not help anybody but make everyone worse off. it would have no effect now as the lack of low-skilled labour would eventually push the wage beyond $28 quite soon. forget about inflation for the moment.

and housing is not even a competitive market. not even close to perfect. so government intervention is necessary.
