-A tenpai player who has not declared riichi may also ignore a winning tile.  In some plays, this may be a valid option in order to achieve a higher scoring hand or to target a specific player.  By declining a call for ron, the player then becomes temporarily furiten until the next own discard. Some rules additionally cancel temporary furiten on any [[naki|tile call]] by any player.
+Any player in tenpai have the option to ignore winning tiles.  By declining a call for ron, the player then becomes temporarily furiten until the next own discard. In some plays, this may be a valid option in order to achieve a higher scoring hand or to target a specific player.
 The furiten rule does not consider [[yaku]]. Sometimes, a hand can be completed with several tiles, but only some of them provide a yaku, others would produce a yakuless hand. If a yakuless tile appears, it must be ignored, because a winning hand must contain a yaku. The player must remain temporarily furiten.
-This rule makes it harder to target a specific player with ron, or to ignore a winning tile of lesser value and hope for a tile giving more yaku.  Sometimes, a player simply needs a specific win condition in order to attain a certain result, like [[Gyakuten|passing another player]].  Win conditions that do not meet certain requirements may end up being ignored.

-Some may [[Rule variations#Furiten|vary the rules]] on temporary furiten with regards to some timing.  The issue involves the event that stops the temporary furiten.  Either a tile call or the player's next draw/discard could cancel this condition.  Most rules prefer the canceling to occur after the player's draw/discard turn.
