Editing Talk:Suzumiya Haruhi:Volume3 Lone Island Syndrome (section)

=== Haruhi's Mahjong ===

Here's the original text for this part (pages 255-256):

<blockquote>[...]。ルールを曲解したハルヒは自分で勝手な役を考案し、『二色絶一門』『チャンタモドキ』『イーシャンテン金縛り』などの謎の役で次々と俺たちからアガり続けた。まあ笑えたから許してやる。ノーレートだったしさ。</blockquote>
<blockquote>「ロン！たぶん一万点くらい！」</blockquote>
<blockquote>「涼宮さん、それ役満ですよ」</blockquote>

Translation: 

[...]. Haruhi distorted the rules and created ''yaku'' to suit herself, racking up win after win with puzzling combinations like ''"Nishoku Zetsu Ichimon,"'' ''"Chantamodoki,"'' "Stuck at ''Iishanten''" and so on. Well, it made me laugh, so I let it pass. And we weren't playing for money, anyway.

"''Ron!'' That's about ten thousand points!"

"Suzumiya-san, that has an eight thousand point limit."


The 3 Haruhi Terms:

『二色絶一門』- NI'SHOKU'ZETSU'ICHI'MON - Two Colors Stop One Gate??

『チャンタモドキ』 - Chantamodoki - ????

『イーシャンテン金縛り』- Iishanten KANASHIBAri - Stuck at Iishanten?? 


Normal Mahjong Terms:

役 - YAKU - Special combinations/patterns. At least one ''yaku'' is needed before a player can declare ''mahjong''.

イーシャンテン - Iishanten - Declared by player when he/she is 2 tiles away from ''Ron''.

ロン - Ron - Declared by winner when the winning tile is another player's discarded tile, as opposed to ''"Tsumo"'', when the winning tile is drawn by the winning player. For ''Tsumo'' all the other players have to pay the winner. For ''Ron'', the player who discarded the winning tile is the only one who has to pay.

役満 - YAKU'MAN - Full yaku or "maximum hand." Upon winning, the hand value is calculated. If the hand value is greater than 2000, then instead of using the "actual" hand value, the hand value is reduced to a limit of 2000 points. This limit is multiplied by 4 for ''yakuman''.

ノーレート - No rate - I assume this means they're not playing for money, but a clarification is needed.

Found some info about チャンタ:

チャンタ chanta

- at least one meld (3 tiles in numeric sequence, three identical tiles, or four of a kind) of character tiles

- at least one meld of number tiles

- all number tile melds must contain at least one 1 or at least one 9

- the pair can be 1, 9, or character tiles

- written 全帯

- alternately 混全帯幺九, 'hon chanta yaochuu'
