Can someone tell me what happened when I called mahjong on the very first hand of the inp joined ???
That's the very first time something like that happens to me in Mahjong games

[11:00] <CrashTest> translation of the text : "it's 'chumbo' to change 'machi' by doing 'kan', but I forgive you"
...
[11:01] <mahlemiut> ok, yes, both kans are after calling reach
[11:01] <CrashTest> yup, so kan made the machi (last stone ?) change

machi = the tiles that can't be changed after calling reach.

EDIT: I think I understand now... You basically can't touch any tile after calling reach if it changes those tiles that are needed to go out on. With three 7's and an 8 initially, you could have gone out on a 6,8, or 9. When you made the kan of 7s, you changed that to needing only an 8. Changing the required tile(s) after calling reach is not allowed, although I would have figured that most games would just not allow the kan to take place anyway.

Well, I'm pretty sure this was admitted in other Mame mahjongs ; but thanks Barry, good catch for you
