So, after months of playing, and a lot of blood, sweat, and tears, I finally got Master rank on Majsoul, my favorite mahjong site. That last game that pushed me over the top was a rush, I loved it. There's maybe a couple thousand people that play on this site, and this puts me in the top 100-200 of all time rankings. Basically, this is where I'll start to actually face the hardest and best players on this site, as I'm now in range where I can realistically face off against the top players.

The journey isn't even close to over though, there's two more rankings above Master: "Saint" and "Celestial". There's 11 people total that have reached Saint, and noone has ever reached Celestial; as that would require back to back to back wins against people that are your peers, and noone gives up any ground if they can help it. This is where the mountain starts.

Not sure why you'd consider it a "weeb thing", that's very cool!
I admire that persistence. Generally even when I'm kinda good at a game I like I can't really be bothered putting in the hard yards to improve and climb the ranks. Nicely done.

I’ll +1 Yoink on that. Mahjong is fun.

Things are moving in Ireland. An opportunity to return might be at hand

Is this about your work, or is your network of loyalist ready to overthrow the government and reinstate your exiled lineage?

Went to get a suit for my graduation - decided against tweed, alas - and got a nice wee number. 250 quid mind, but hey, it'll last me a while.

Wee is normally not considered an appropriate material for fashionable attire. Much too wet.

[TD1]

No, wrong type of wee.

This is the Nintendo one.

Edit: Outside of joking, does this mean that the word 'wee' doesn't frequently enter parlance outside Northern Britain?

[pisskop]

I know what you meant, however I also knew you were a filthy Eurapeein

I think its most commonly ascribed to scots as a stereotype.

The game system is the Wii with two i’s, not e’s. This is why confusion happened

Its more the fact that Dwarfy meant "wee" as in "small" which is largely more of a British/Scottish/Irish thing and not commonplace outside of the Isles.

[Naturegirl1999]

Ah, they mentioned a gaming system by Nintendo, I have heard wee as in small before, though not very often. Either way, confusion happened

[TD1]

I was cracking a joke, I'm afraid.

I used the word 'wee' (small/little) as I would in normal speech, not considering a global audience.

One of said audience interpreted it - deliberately and with humour - using a different connotation. Namely 'wee' (pee/urine).

I built upon this joke by pretending I had meant 'wii' (pronounced the same, but spelled differently).

In short, NG, there wasn't any confusion. Just humour from all!

It’s not a stereotype though.

My colleagues at work take amusement whenever I use the word to describe something small.

Thanks, so the only one confused was me
