Athenayama 1,031 Posted October 12, 2022 Not a sumo games mate (otherwise please tell me your shikona!) but I'll make an exception for you Lady. Happy birthday with the best health and everything else you wish for! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sumojoann 1,263 Posted October 12, 2022 Hi @AthenayamaThank you so much for your kind birthday wishes! It's 2:30 AM here and if there were a basho going on right now, Makuuchi would have started 30 minutes ago. The only game I've played is the "21" game (sorry, I can't remember the full name, something like "21 Aki 2022). You are presented with a list of 21 pairs of rikishi who MIGHT fight each other in the upcoming basho. You have to guess (BEFORE the real basho starts), 1) which of each pair would win -- and 2) most difficult, which pair will NOT be matched up (not due to kyujo). There are various rules, some creative, in case of ties. I didn't use a "Secret Shikona", just my quite boring sumojoann Shikona. (I guess THAT'S too late to change after all these years, isn't it?). I surprised myself by getting a Jun Yusho for one of the "21" games! Thanks again for the Happy Birthday wishes! It makes me feel happy to be a member of this forum with so many friendly and helpful people (and only a couple of irascible types!). 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kaminariyuki 499 Posted November 13, 2022 (edited) Ditto Fujisan, I haven't had time for the forum, sadly, and missed this thread of course. Happy Birth-month Joann!!! Edited November 13, 2022 by Kaminariyuki Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
