Hmm... when was Gunshy? After all, it's mostly the same game using icons instead of Mahjong tiles. --Spikey 05:14, 16 Feb 2004 (UTC)
"Microsoft Taipei"??? ARE YOU SURE?
[edit] Speculation on unreleased software =
"A significantly upgraded version of this game, retitled Mahjong Titans, is set to be included in Microsoft's Windows Vista for a 2007 release."
Interesting but I removed it from the main page and put it here. Given the history many software companies have of vapourware and failure to release software as promised such speculation seem not only inappropriate for an encyclopedia but a whole lot like advertising or astroturfing. Horkana
[edit] Scoring
What governs the scoring of Mahjong Titans? I can't find rules for scoring posted anywhere. Shorter times don't seem to increase scores...? Clearing 4 of a kind doesn't seem to increase score...? Unsigned question by 207.55.0.250
- I don't know for Mahjong Titans, however for Kmahjongg the scoring is as follows:
- 20 points for every tile removed (so it is possible to score with a "stuck" game)
- 1 point for every second of gametime left under 20 minutes.
- 20 points off for every cheat used (hint etc)
- 200 points off for a reshuffle
- The maximum theoretically obtainable score is 2880(stones)+1200(time)=4080 points (if solved immediately). Interestingly, it pays off to get "stuck" as soon as possible: a direct "stuck" board will yield 1200 points, well enough to get you into the default high scores (the "default" high score is set at only 400, where I usually get between 2800 and 3800 points (Yes, I'm slow, I know).

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Taipei.png
Image:Taipei.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
