七搶花

I learnt a new mahjong rule quite some time ago. I was honestly very appalled that there is such a rule cause it is god damn dumb.

The rule is: Anybody who gets 7 flowers will win wu tai automatically if anyone else gets the 8th flower. That is called snatching the 8th flower and somehow, that outrageous act earns u wu tai. If you were to draw the 8th flower urself, it's akin to getting a wu tai zi mo. If someone else gets the 8th flower, it's like that person who drew the 8th flower threw a wu tai for you to game.

And it doesn't matter if yours cards inside are shit. As long as that 8th flower comes out when u have got the 7 other flowers, u win!

Doesn't that strike you as being super ridiculous? It did to me! Cause my friend got it and I drew the 8th flower for her to game wu tai. I was flabbergasted! I was shocked! I was outraged ! How can there be such a stupid rule??? There is no skill involved. You just draw flowers non stop and pretend to be a florist.

Bah! You can imagine how much I complained about it when my friend won on that stupid rule and I did not even know such a rule existed before she won. Growl. Makes me very angry. Why like that? You cannot even defend. You cannot draw a flower and pretend that you did not get one cause everyone has to open their cards at the end to prove that the 8th flower did not come out.

I was so disgruntled and I condemned the rule.

That is of course, until I played mj another day. Lo and behold! I drew 7 flowers myself and won when my friend drew the 8th flower for me to game wu tai. Hee! :D It is not a stupid rule anymore. I love that rule! It's amazing! It delivers money to ur hands for having flowery hands. Love love love it.

Long live the 七搶花 rule! I shall extol its greatness until someone else games on that rule and wins my money. Ho ho ho....

flowers flowers flowers!
