Mah Jungg oracle

[frank]

Hi Guys,

I?m shure this is off-topic, at least in this section of the site, but this section is most read, so...

Is there anyone of you ho has actualy (good) results with the Mah Jungg oracle, or knows sites or a forum about this tool?

Thanks in advance.

Hug,

I only know it as a game. Little playing pieces, size and form of domino stones, with a character on them. The players build a "Chinese wall". I played it often as a child, but have forgotten all the rules and everything. Probably playing it once would be enough to remember.

you can Google it. But then try also ways of spelling like Ma Yong, or ma jong. No idea .. mm, trying..

Hi Lise,

Thank you for your reply. I googled it some years ago already, know some rules, and have Derek Walters book where he writes about Mah Jungg as an oracle. I have googled last months intensly searching for sites and mostly needed, a forum, and I can?t find it. I just thought that perhaps someone on this forum knew something about it I didn?t :-D. There should be a place to share things about it, just as this site does... But where, and where in english, as I know chinese sites, but no chinese... Just asking.

Thanks again Lise.

Hug, and regards to the other ladies :-D

Yes, it is an interesting thing. I noticed this topic rather late, so I have nothing to add - all links are already found by Frank.

I'd like to see more "case studies", but there seems to be very little information in the Internet on it...

Hi Peter,

The ?Case Studies`... are just the reason why I?m searching :-D... I think it?s starts to become a hoax, made by Walters himself...

Very interesting, and a beautiful oracle. It sounds as if there should be a lot of information about it. Maybe not that much about MahJong as oracle, but a lot as game: giving all the names and meanings of the tiles. I guess if you contact her privately, she can give you information.
