I finally got promoted to 2nd Dan in Tenhou online mahjong.
Yaaay
Though it's not really that special. According to the ranking distribution, it's the middle hump of skill level. Since there's no penalty for losing until 2nd kyu, and you can't derank until 1st dan, it's not difficult to brute force your way to 1d (and then quickly lose it). So this, getting past 2d, is the second hurdle that stops most players. I've gotten a lot better at defense than I was a year ago, so maybe I can do it.
All of this is important research for a fanfic I'm currently writing about Rarity getting into gambling because of her relationship with Fluttershy and ----- okay, I'm lying. It's just a game, for wasting time.
I did write the above story for a writeoff minific a few years ago, but it was pretty bad. I'm not rewriting that one, but I am working on something else. It's weird and experimental so it probably won't be enjoyable... but I might as well publish failed experiments here too.
Hooray!!
All I know about mahjong is that it's hard. And that I want to read about gamblerarity now, thx

it's easy, if you try.... *song and dance number*
I just don't know how to make gamblerarity make sense within the MLP setting.
