Advanced Avatar Shop

Hey there,

I'm wondering what's your favorite avatar either you've seen while play at Mahjong Time or a favorite one you've created and why you created him/her in the way that you did? Is intimidation your game? Intelligence? A fantasy look? Beauty or hotness? Friendliness? What are you looking to say with your avatar or avatars?

Do you have a special one for tournaments? Are you trying to reveal yourself through your avatar or hide something?

Playing on Multiple Tables?

We have received few requests from our members to allow them to play in more than one table simultaneously. If we do implement this feature, would you play in more than one table? How many simultaneous games can you play? On a scale of 1 to 5, how important do you think this feature is? MahjongTime would like to hear your thoughts and opinions on this matter. Please post your opinions below

Can MahjongTime Rating System be Improved?

We have received inquires from members of our website regarding our ranking formula. The formula is based on Official International rules:

RatingNew= RatingOld+(Score+Difficulty-RatingOld)/41

Gamefactor = 40 on the gamefactor is static -- this is a number to average
out the luck factor of the game

Difficulty = average of all the participating players' ratings.

There are a few questions that we are getting from members:
1. Should we decrease the ratings for users that do not play for a while on the website?
2. Currently if at least 2 real players are on the table the rating is calculated. Should we change the way the rating is calculated in case when users leave the table?
What can be done to improve our rating system? Please post your opinions below.

Since the launch of MahjongTime, the AI (Artificial Intelligence) has undergone many changes and improvements but, do you enjoy playing with the robot? Do you think it should be improved, removed, or is it perfect as is? Post your opinions here.
