 A riichi declarer may ignore a winning tile and not call ron. The ignored tile may have been a discarded tile or a [[Chankan|tile used to extend a minkou to a shominkan]].  After ignoring a winning tile, the riichi declarer is permanently furiten for the rest of the hand.  Therefore, it is advised for any player declaring riichi to call ron, at the first instance of a winning tile.  Otherwise, a win via [[mentsumo|tsumo]] becomes the only option.
-The furiten rule emphasizes that all tiles discarded by any player after the riichi declaration are deemed [[genbutsu|safe tiles]], along with the player's own discards. Riichi declarers may not decline a ron against one player and expect to declare ron against another.  Even if a winning tile different from the ignored one appears, the player may not call ron. This rule requires knowledge of all own [[machi|possible waits]].
+The furiten rule emphasizes that all tiles discarded by any player after the riichi declaration are deemed [[genbutsu|safe tiles]], along with the player's own discards. For this reason, the tile upon the riichi declaration is turned sideways to indicate the timing of the call.  Riichi declarers may not decline a ron against one player and expect to declare ron against another.  Even if a winning tile different from the ignored one appears, the player may not call ron. This rule requires knowledge of all own [[machi|possible waits]].
