#New joker riddle
1 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
every card destoryed gain x0.5 mult. if a new card is created, reset mult 😎
can we know if this is something we've seen art for?
I won't say if anyone is close, but if someone gets the gist of the effect close enough I'll let you know
i would like too know this
Yes
cool cool cool
welp time to fuse my 3 braincells together
All shop prices halved when a joker is sold (just for the current shop)
lfg
I might be garbage at making riddles sorry I've never done one before 🙂
"madness" makes me think its this one
ur good, this is gonna be fun
i would say just pin the riddle in thread if u can
this or maybe like a virus or purge
It looks like the “hair” could be extending out to other cards
"every day" could mean each round, as well as "a new offer" meaning specifically the shop
ngl last line reminds me of like, going back an ante if X
it might be a similar thing to cermonial dagger but instead of adding multiplier it copies the ability for one round?
“Half step” is definitely x0.5 mult
thats my first thought
that or 50% cost in shop
"beware" makes me think that curing it is not something you want
maybe it debuffs a joker
But “closer” to what?
so its likely a scaling joker with a reset condition
and most likely with the prices in shop or x0.5 mult
Maybe x0.5 mult for each joker sold, but it resets if you go above a certain amount
so like old stencil with a downside?
wait this is a random shot in the dark but uh
each round, merge joker to the right of this joker to joker. if 5 jokers are merged, self destructs
It talks about curing so maybe if you don’t do a certain action the +x0.5 mult chain resets
i think its that joker with the crazy hair we saw
Maybe selling a joker each round?
"friends" has to be other jokers, nothing else in the game is so personified
it refers to boss blinds maybe
big maybe
boss blinds arent friends, though
probably not it
they tryna kill you
i think other jokers
maybe to this joker it is ❓ this is dumb ignore this idea
thats what i was thinking
'walk back home' could be a reset condition
so we have
x0.5 mult that scales
joker manipulation
some type of reset condition
"walk back home" could be different things, but i think its most likely a reset to whatever bonus the joker gives
but im wondering if its something else
i do think it's 100% a thing where you reset
"home" could mean like, the main menu lmao
it could be something similar to the "hieroglyph" voucher (-1 ante) or maybe just reset that ante (go back to small blind)
but i dont think it would be that extreme
I love this 😈
that would be helpful though, and it says to beware
half step
the "half step" line probably refers to x0.5, but it could make the next blind remove 50% of the chips required?
I got no clue for this step
0.5x a round
Reset after "sanity" cured
so it's easier to beat boss blinds for a time, but you need to keep getting rid of jokers
okay wait it says offers
everyday a new offer half a step closer
'every day' wouldnt be in there for no reason
guys duh its half joker synergy /j
what is "take friends for granted" though?
If this is your only joker
0.5x every time you buy no jokers
Reset after buy joker
joker manipulation (my synonyms are so cracked ik)
thats a decent idea honestly
Localthunk will you tell us if we are correct?
and we know its a new joker of art we've seen
thats why I said it
okay wait imma make another insanely random guess
yeah he said he would
ugh
but he will NOT tell us if we're close
that means I didnt get it right or local didnt see it
I will tell you if you are pretty much bang on with the card description
Otherwise I won't tell you anything
+x0.5 mult for each round without buying a joker
pls
ok
Whenever you have this joker
0.5x every time you buy no jokers
Reset after buy joker
ngl it might be that simple
heres are the arts, that i know about that have been previewed in game or on the server
so its one of these 7
for sure
hair joker
but keep options open
probably
eyes going out in different directions gotta be madness
simple is probably the strategy
/insanity
local? (say no or yes)
like what’s the most complex joker effect in the demo?
madness could also be 3rd eye
“Joker”
making sure you saw
okay acutal random guess time:
I see everything
Gulp
I know that, making sure they saw
can you pin the riddle?
every round. transform one random joker into this joker. gives x0.5 mult (it doesnt include a reset condition but idfc)
it could be mega Michel
It won't let me pin
but it probably won't be
damn
Because it's not a message in the thread
let me repost
The Madness will always take friends for granted
Every day a new offer one half step closer
Beware; if the insanity is cured, walk back home
lol
we've only seen the top of that card to my knowledge
wheres the singular word btw
take friends for granted is the most confusing
this was a great idea
its joker manipulation
think about it
-0.5x mult shop prices are half off
agreed, this why local the goat
It was his idea
but what type...
its a joker, other jokers are friends | granted is a synonym of manipulate
But great 🙂
its our idea (im sorry)
what if "take friends" is more literal? what if it converts other jokers into copies of itself?
that was one of my guesses
^
You must sell a joker
0.5x every time you do
Reset after Don't
if we keep guessing we will eventually get it
XD
if we narrow down the ideas for each line of the poem we can iterate and brute force it
btw local I beat the game in Hours Played thread for daily poll
it might take as many hours as @radiant zenith has on balatro but who cares
LOLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Disregard it took me like 10 attempts and a couple hours
we know its something with
50% mult or cost
a scaling effect
joker maniuplation
and a reset condition
trueee 50% could be anything
but mult/cost the only things that make sense (other than scores need to beat blinds)(but i doubt this)
what we have so far:
though since it resets its only multi/cost
wait everyday could refer to played hands instead of blinds
so maybe its an effect within a round
and the effect is cured after defeating the blind
If you have no duplicate jokers
add 0.5 multi
reset if you do
ngl it might be a dagger clone
For every hand played without a pair>
Add 0.5x multi
Reset if it does
"The Madness" capitilized M so thats pretty important, could be referring to the joker itself
"will always" constant effect or every-round type effect
"take friends for granted"
"every day" every round
"a new offer" something to do with the shop
"one half step closer" a value relating to 0.5, likely score related, scaling
"Beware" something bad is next
"if the insanity is cured" the reset condition for the positive effect
"walk back home" resets the effect, possibly something else bad too
every two rounds consume the joker next to it and gain its ability, resets if condition fails
"home" could easily be a base x1 mult, several scaling xmult jokers have "starts at x1"
thats what Ive always thought
something like:
destory 3 leftmost jokers and multiply half their original cost to mult. after blind is defeated, respawn jokers
@feral valve
actually wait
oh lord
chatgpt is so bad at this
LOL
that sounds like hell to code
XD
WSLKNAJKSDFBHNKLJB
scratch that, change it to:
every hand destory leftmost joker and multiply half their original cost to mult. after blind is defeated, respawn jokers
and this was before I told it to be succinct
each consecutive day lmfao
ong chatgpt popping off
new balatro meta, play every day with this joker
lmao yeah I measure your system clock ChatGPT
doesnt include last line
yes it does. the insanity is the joker destruction. defeating the blind cures the jokers
lmao
is it like it's a joker mulitplier but if you don't complete an objective from said joker you lose a random joker? I feel like i'm getting somewhere with this but still not quite
one half step closer, is it capped then?
its a very wide stretch. but i have a small feeling the beware is actually a red herring
red fish
I don't think I'm as proud of anything with this game as I am of this riddle
I believe in yall
im still waiting for that one singular word you promised
this is gonna be ground breaking
It's not a clue
i didnt see it lmao-
it's just a word
wait
heres a guess
destroy the first joker you purchase from the shop and gain 0.5x mult. resets if you dont buy any jokers or gain jokers from any other source
i could probably phrase that better
its a joker
how can we be sure
thread title
oh right
disregard me again
i have a guess as well:
every hand poison a random joker. poisoned jokers will be destoryed after 5 hands, only way to cure it is to sell the madness joker. every poisoned joker gains x0.5 every hand
this is hella out there
cuz like new status effect
This is just an allegory for all you jokers, you get one half step closer and take all the clues for granted, and when you solve it you are deeply unsatisfied 🙂
Jk
it's a joker
okay so its a trash joker
imagine if it actually is like
I love how no one is talking in any other channel
literally a trashcan joker
LOL
may i pwetty pwease have a singular word that relates to the jokers ability in a way pwetty pwease local i beg of you 👉 👈
lol
the word is "ok"
crazy hair
ok
ok
ok guys
relates to the jokers ability in a way
localthunk is the biggest
here
pwetty pwease
crazy idea guts
so with the word 'ok' we can deduce oklahoma
Cmon now I'm not giving hints that would cheapen it
we gotta WORK for this
which means
okay fine ill stop sweet talking
Fine one hint
The Madness will always take friends for granted
Every day a new offer one half step closer
Beware; if the insanity is cured, walk back home
someone send the mad hair joker again i dont feel like scrolling up
such a good hiny
stop oking me
I feel like offer has to do with shop
offer as in discount?
uH
is it something like this:
all jokers are half price, but their effect is halved until this joker is sold
as in, icecream is now 3 dolla but starts with 50 chips
local will code in literally anything (i believe in him)
half step CLOSER
wont code reading system clock apparently
oh what
okay guys now imagine if the word "ok" actually was a clue
anti knockout
It's not
that would be crazy
thats what I said
oh
I think this is also a clue
if all joker slots are full, move up only 0.5 ante will this joker is in use
i really want 0.5 ante
lmao
If you are getting stuck I might have a fun way to help
Im down if its fun
For a lifeline, what do you think of this. You can ask me 1 yes or no question. If it's not 100% correct, it's a no
thunk releases the game now and we figure it out
oh????
is it a rare joker
ok
this is huge
wait
noooooo
you dumb ||truck||
Talk amongst yourselves for the question
hold on each person?
lmao
okay wait
rarity means nothing
I agree
I feel more like a kinderance
what if we ask about relation to other jokers
then a help
as in 'does the effect have to do anything with other jokers'
I was gonna say if it was a mult in general but I don't really know if that's enough to really cement it to working
i'd say something like this would be better to actually solve it imo
Does offer mean the joker is shop related?
maybe but he said it needed to be 100% accurate or he'll say no
agree with something like this
ask the question that gets us the most info that can also be an entirely 100% yes no answer
it would have to be vague enough to count as a yes
ok we all agree then
not yet!
but what is the actual question
trueth
we gotta be careful with the wording
this lifeline is like a spectral pack
maybe something like
lmao ignore this
if we word it wrong it could lead us off track
are there any improvements to be made
if its a no it doesnt really help though
ye
how about "does this joker affect or(inclusive) is affected by other jokers?"
maybe just have a very vague message
do we want to narrow down joker destruction maybe?
maybe
I think we wanna narrow down the first line
if its very vauge it cant have 100% yes answer
merhaps
that is the caviot of the hint
because 3rd line means it resets
perhaps "does this joker cause the destruction/selling of other jokers?"
cause or is affected by?
Gain a hanged man
For every time useing the hanged man gain 0.5x multi
If not used, reset
nah
i refuse to believe its a tarot/celestial joker
Im not ansking the question
specific tarots dont seems good
"This joker interacts with other jokers to gain a 0.5 multiplier of some kind"
how about "does this joker cause or(inclusive) is it affected by the destruction, selling, or(inclusive) other type of removal of other jokers?"
not a final question yet
Get Campfire a law degree
LOL
thanks lol
I'll answer a question when it has 5 thumbs up
4 votes yes, any other suggestions or edits?
I think its good
run it
If you say no local Ima go get dinner as rage food
campire react for the 5th reaction
Order in the COURT!
kk local answer it you ||handsome man||
Presiding, LocalThunk
we got over 5! question is locked in
YES
hell yeah!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
YES!
HELL YEAH
genuinely SO exciting
1x mult, +0.5x mult each round but destroys a random joker each round
lets go
Local can you repost and pin
so its either a similar concept to invisible joker
or its a dagger clone
pick your poison
or its both
THE DEED IS DONE
This is 100% correct
buh
wait actually
lets goooooooooo
nice
holy shit!!
yes
gg
WOOOOOOO
les goo
of course math would get it lol
lol
I'd like to explain the riddle a bit - there were some details that were tripping people up
do another one
it was confusing granted
I was thinking madness = randomness
hey local can you confirm if the art for it is crazy hair joker
please do!
the bottom line was a straight red herring
this was a lot of fun
lets go
analyzing every word was enjoyable
yuh
we solved it
we solved it!
cool
Now we need to figure out the name of the joker
Madness
"The Madness"
madness joker most likely (although overlap with mad joker
lmao perfection
That’s what I was thinking too
this would be my guess
maybe the purge
same
or the virus
"The Madness"
1x mult, +0.5x mult each round but destroys a random joker each round
The purge sounds to cool
or the the
RIDE THE BUS
the madness was litterally in the hint
Nah I vibe with "Sociopath" that's funny as all hell
mad joker is crying rn
can that random joker include itself though?
If you have only that joker, does it destroy itself?
the end is never the end is never
I think yes
the insanity i lied
it resets
that was in the hint
The Madness will always take friends for granted
Like in a crossword, capital is important (name of the Joker). Always take friends for granted equates to targets any 'friend' or other joker, unlike the knife
Every day a new offer one half step closer
Every day = every round. Offer = offering = sacrifice. Half step = 0.5X mult
Beware; if the insanity is cured, walk back home
This one was tripping people up. There was no 'condition' here, rather that if the insanity is cured, ie if choose you get rid of Madness, then you return to normal, since X1 mult and no joker are the same. Walk refering to undoing the 0.5X steps
who does crosswords these days
LMAO
everyone thought "offer" was shop lol
me too
the bottom is a straight red herring 😐 there is not curing the destoryed jokers that died in the madness
I changed it to offer from sacrifice to make it more challenging 🙂
Well thank you so mucj
it was really clever
selling the joker does not revive them therefore it is not a cure
next time you do this ping me
lmao
Curing insanity is kind of like getting rid of it
That's what I was going for there
Show us the card description
i wouldn't know, i haven't cured mine yet 🤣
You made me get addicted to the other game and then started the thread afterwards
all the jokers getting sacrificed would sure think so!
heheha
so does it include itself or nay?
i love when my joker decides to kill itself for no reason
knowing locals opinion on luck probably doesnt want that to happen
so it doesnt include itself
i mean, gros michel is right there
@wild folio not related to this topic but
will there be "mod" support? like custom jokers, stakes, blinds
Also is the 1.5x permanent or just a round?
after full release I believe so but local can correct me if I wrong
"each round" implies it stacks i think
yeah
wait a sec the ok actually does mean something
because when a joker dies for no reason you just scuff it off and say ok
at least i do
Math was actually 100% right
my braincells stretched 2 inches okay? gimme a break
it's very close to the actual description
Can you pin the description?
so.. random does include itself?
||do this again tmr or smth||
well if your brain cells stretch 2 inches thats like your foot growing a yard
thanks local
Local you gotta tell us if random includes itself
i assume no
knowing local no
Which is better designed?
lmao
well, madness is what there going for... you know what they say.
we do a litle trollin`
so this is crazy hair joker right
if its uncommon destroy itself
If rare Dont
can you confirm if it is
kinda yeah
The drawback is huge
its almost my bedtime already
being a random joker helps cause if you get something else busted, odds are you wont keep it forever
blueprint
It's almost bad lmao
youd have to build entirely around The Madness and hope you get enough chips and mult jokers every shop
it destories blueprint during final boss
Not sure about the go back home. Does it delete itself if there are no jokers left to eat? The Ouroboros?
it just doesnt gain 0.5x ig (that makes the most sense)
tbh i can see this card x the straight strat used in jokerless and destroying everything
Its 1 random joker no?
laughs in planet cards and tarots
1 random joker per round
chance to destory blueprint
ok then
wait nvm about that
so 24x24 still possible
i misread
chance to destroy your lovely brand new legendary card :)
if you use planet cards that sounds busted
13824x
they will die
not if you get lucky
theres probably gonna be 1 seed where you can get 24x and blueprint
now add dusk, glass, loyalty, some +mult and some +chip
eternal jokers: you are no match for me, the madness
thats an easy 1+ quadrillion
I assume just without redundant “each round”
or just add 5 more blurprints
invisible joker/ringmaster go brr
oh yeah what would this joker do if u had two from ring master
now add 99 blueprints and one 24x THE MADNESS
would it eat eachother
destory one then get reset to x1 :trollface:
if you had 99 blueprints and a 24x version of THE MADNESS, 1.04984255e138
there’s no reset
Like if you had both at x2, both trigger and one of them dies, then the remaining one is x2.5
I wonder what the most amount of blueprints is possible in the full release?
cough cough check dms cough cough
but like seed wise
?
wait no
is that the one with the wormy brain in all red
||local i beg of you to do this again this is such a good way to reveal jokers||
the red miles
genuinely a ton of fun
not every day for sure but sometime
new dailyish poll
weekly
weekly riddle would go so hard
or "weeklyish" lmao
and it doesnt have to be for jokers either cuz theres a bunch of new features
ye lol
local you should do this
yeah
or maybe a new server?
That way we can set the setting to always ping us when you start the riddle
orrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
a riddle role and channel instead of making a whole server LOL
even then, its excsessive
Igtg bye
why am i bronze iii
wip thing playstack is doing
yes it is I just can't read
I need to learn to do that
just have a @.everyone ping
same lol bb
or just make a channel like dailyish poll, I turn on all notifs there
I thought “a new offer” was like To-Do List
I think not destroying itself is better designed, but I would also accept it destroying itself if it didn’t find any other Jokers to destroy
Not me but I was asleep 😭 (not saying I would’ve solved any faster)
Which one
