formal lichen
#

every card destoryed gain x0.5 mult. if a new card is created, reset mult 😎

prime shale
#

can we know if this is something we've seen art for?

wild folio
#

I won't say if anyone is close, but if someone gets the gist of the effect close enough I'll let you know

formal lichen
wild folio
#

Yes

prime shale
#

cool cool cool

formal lichen
#

welp time to fuse my 3 braincells together

wheat swan
#

All shop prices halved when a joker is sold (just for the current shop)

daring kindle
#

lfg

wild folio
#

I might be garbage at making riddles sorry I've never done one before 🙂

prime shale
#

"madness" makes me think its this one

daring kindle
#

i would say just pin the riddle in thread if u can

formal lichen
mellow fox
#

It looks like the “hair” could be extending out to other cards

prime shale
#

"every day" could mean each round, as well as "a new offer" meaning specifically the shop

formal lichen
#

ngl last line reminds me of like, going back an ante if X

daring kindle
#

it might be a similar thing to cermonial dagger but instead of adding multiplier it copies the ability for one round?

mellow fox
#

“Half step” is definitely x0.5 mult

daring kindle
#

thats my first thought

formal lichen
prime shale
frosty fossil
#

maybe it debuffs a joker

mellow fox
#

But “closer” to what?

prime shale
#

so its likely a scaling joker with a reset condition

formal lichen
mellow fox
#

Maybe x0.5 mult for each joker sold, but it resets if you go above a certain amount

daring kindle
#

so like old stencil with a downside?

formal lichen
#

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

wheat swan
#

It talks about curing so maybe if you don’t do a certain action the +x0.5 mult chain resets

frozen isle
#

i think its that joker with the crazy hair we saw

wheat swan
#

Maybe selling a joker each round?

prime shale
#

"friends" has to be other jokers, nothing else in the game is so personified

formal lichen
#

big maybe

frozen isle
#

ceremonial dagger rework???

#

joking

prime shale
frozen isle
#

probably not it

prime shale
#

they tryna kill you

frozen isle
#

i think other jokers

formal lichen
daring kindle
#

thats what i was thinking

frozen isle
#

'walk back home' could be a reset condition

formal lichen
#

so we have
x0.5 mult that scales
joker manipulation
some type of reset condition

prime shale
#

"walk back home" could be different things, but i think its most likely a reset to whatever bonus the joker gives

frozen isle
#

but im wondering if its something else

soft fossil
#

i do think it's 100% a thing where you reset

prime shale
#

"home" could mean like, the main menu lmao

formal lichen
prime shale
#

but i dont think it would be that extreme

wild folio
#

I love this 😈

prime shale
frozen isle
#

half step

soft fossil
#

the "half step" line probably refers to x0.5, but it could make the next blind remove 50% of the chips required?

frozen isle
#

x0.5 mult?

#

or something else?

#

every day

radiant zenith
#

I got no clue for this step
0.5x a round
Reset after "sanity" cured

soft fossil
formal lichen
#

okay wait it says offers

frozen isle
#

thats an important one

#

every shop maybe

formal lichen
#

everyday a new offer half a step closer

frozen isle
#

'every day' wouldnt be in there for no reason

formal lichen
#

guys duh its half joker synergy /j

prime shale
#

what is "take friends for granted" though?

radiant zenith
#

If this is your only joker
0.5x every time you buy no jokers
Reset after buy joker

formal lichen
radiant zenith
#

Localthunk will you tell us if we are correct?

daring kindle
radiant zenith
formal lichen
#

okay wait imma make another insanely random guess

prime shale
radiant zenith
#

ugh

prime shale
#

but he will NOT tell us if we're close

radiant zenith
#

that means I didnt get it right or local didnt see it

wild folio
#

I will tell you if you are pretty much bang on with the card description

#

Otherwise I won't tell you anything

formal lichen
#

buh

#

say o n e word

wheat swan
#

+x0.5 mult for each round without buying a joker

formal lichen
#

pls

wild folio
#

ok

radiant zenith
#

Whenever you have this joker
0.5x every time you buy no jokers
Reset after buy joker

formal lichen
daring kindle
#

heres are the arts, that i know about that have been previewed in game or on the server

#

so its one of these 7

formal lichen
#

its the hair joker

#

no doubt

daring kindle
#

for sure

frozen isle
#

hair joker

daring kindle
#

but keep options open

radiant zenith
#

probably

prime shale
#

eyes going out in different directions gotta be madness

wheat swan
prime shale
#

/insanity

wheat swan
#

like what’s the most complex joker effect in the demo?

frozen isle
#

madness could also be 3rd eye

mellow fox
radiant zenith
#

making sure you saw

formal lichen
#

okay acutal random guess time:

wild folio
radiant zenith
#

Gulp

radiant zenith
prime shale
#

can you pin the riddle?

formal lichen
soft fossil
wild folio
#

It won't let me pin

soft fossil
#

but it probably won't be

prime shale
#

damn

wild folio
#

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

formal lichen
#

lol

daring kindle
formal lichen
#

wheres the singular word btw

prime shale
#

thats so much better

#

thanks!

radiant zenith
#

take friends for granted is the most confusing

daring kindle
#

this was a great idea

formal lichen
#

think about it

frosty fossil
#

-0.5x mult shop prices are half off

radiant zenith
wild folio
#

It was his idea

radiant zenith
formal lichen
#

its a joker, other jokers are friends | granted is a synonym of manipulate

wild folio
#

But great 🙂

formal lichen
#

i didnt think that far

radiant zenith
#

XD\

formal lichen
prime shale
#

what if "take friends" is more literal? what if it converts other jokers into copies of itself?

radiant zenith
#

You must sell a joker
0.5x every time you do
Reset after Don't

formal lichen
#

if we keep guessing we will eventually get it

radiant zenith
#

XD

prime shale
#

if we narrow down the ideas for each line of the poem we can iterate and brute force it

radiant zenith
#

btw local I beat the game in Hours Played thread for daily poll

formal lichen
#

it might take as many hours as @radiant zenith has on balatro but who cares

radiant zenith
#

LOLLLLLLLLLLLLL

radiant zenith
formal lichen
#

we know its something with
50% mult or cost
a scaling effect
joker maniuplation
and a reset condition

radiant zenith
#

trueee 50% could be anything

formal lichen
frozen isle
#

what we have so far:

radiant zenith
#

though since it resets its only multi/cost

formal lichen
#

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

radiant zenith
#

If you have no duplicate jokers
add 0.5 multi
reset if you do

formal lichen
#

ngl it might be a dagger clone

radiant zenith
#

For every hand played without a pair>
Add 0.5x multi
Reset if it does

prime shale
#

"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

daring kindle
#

every two rounds consume the joker next to it and gain its ability, resets if condition fails

prime shale
#

"home" could easily be a base x1 mult, several scaling xmult jokers have "starts at x1"

soft fossil
#

hear me out guys

#

upgraded Mad Joker

radiant zenith
formal lichen
#

something like:
destory 3 leftmost jokers and multiply half their original cost to mult. after blind is defeated, respawn jokers

radiant zenith
#

@feral valve

formal lichen
#

actually wait

feral valve
#

oh lord

wheat swan
#

chatgpt is so bad at this

radiant zenith
#

LOL

daring kindle
radiant zenith
daring kindle
formal lichen
wheat swan
#

and this was before I told it to be succinct

prime shale
#

each consecutive day lmfao

formal lichen
#

ong chatgpt popping off

prime shale
#

new balatro meta, play every day with this joker

wild folio
#

lmao yeah I measure your system clock ChatGPT

formal lichen
radiant zenith
#

unless does it

#

disregard me

formal lichen
#

lmao

feral valve
#

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

radiant zenith
#

one half step closer, is it capped then?

formal lichen
#

its a very wide stretch. but i have a small feeling the beware is actually a red herring

radiant zenith
#

red fish

wild folio
#

I don't think I'm as proud of anything with this game as I am of this riddle

#

I believe in yall

formal lichen
wild folio
#

I said it already

#

ok

feral valve
#

this is gonna be ground breaking

wild folio
#

It's not a clue

formal lichen
#

i didnt see it lmao-

wild folio
#

it's just a word

formal lichen
#

im been had

#

fair play

formal lichen
#

wait

prime shale
#

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

radiant zenith
#

guys

#

I just realized

#

local never said its a joker

#

💀

prime shale
#

its a joker

radiant zenith
#

how can we be sure

wheat swan
#

thread title

radiant zenith
#

oh right

prime shale
radiant zenith
#

disregard me again

formal lichen
#

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

wild folio
#

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

formal lichen
#

okay so its a trash joker

feral valve
#

imagine if it actually is like

radiant zenith
#

I love how no one is talking in any other channel

feral valve
#

literally a trashcan joker

radiant zenith
#

LOL

prime shale
#

weve seen the art for it already

#

we just dont know which

formal lichen
#

may i pwetty pwease have a singular word that relates to the jokers ability in a way pwetty pwease local i beg of you 👉 👈

radiant zenith
#

lol

frozen isle
#

crazy hair

radiant zenith
#

ok

frozen isle
#

ok guys

radiant zenith
#

is almost oak

#

as in 5oak

formal lichen
prime shale
#

localthunk is the biggest balatrojoker here

formal lichen
#

pwetty pwease

radiant zenith
#

crazy idea guts

frozen isle
#

so with the word 'ok' we can deduce oklahoma

wild folio
#

Cmon now I'm not giving hints that would cheapen it

prime shale
#

we gotta WORK for this

frozen isle
#

which means

formal lichen
#

okay fine ill stop sweet talking

wild folio
#

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

formal lichen
#

someone send the mad hair joker again i dont feel like scrolling up

formal lichen
#

stop oking me

wheat swan
formal lichen
#

😭

#

wAiT

frozen isle
#

offer as in discount?

formal lichen
#

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

frozen isle
#

too hard to code in i think

#

maybe

formal lichen
#

local will code in literally anything (i believe in him)

frozen isle
#

half step forward

#

not back

#

keep in mind 'step'

radiant zenith
daring kindle
#

wont code reading system clock apparently

frozen isle
#

oh what

feral valve
#

okay guys now imagine if the word "ok" actually was a clue

formal lichen
#

wait half step closer

#

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

formal lichen
formal lichen
#

that would be crazy

radiant zenith
#

oh

radiant zenith
formal lichen
#

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

wild folio
#

If you are getting stuck I might have a fun way to help

radiant zenith
#

Im down if its fun

wild folio
#

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

daring kindle
#

thunk releases the game now and we figure it out

feral valve
#

oh????

frozen isle
#

ok

feral valve
#

this is huge

radiant zenith
#

wait

frozen isle
formal lichen
wild folio
#

Talk amongst yourselves for the question

radiant zenith
#

hold on each person?

wild folio
#

lmao

formal lichen
#

okay wait

radiant zenith
#

ok

#

then nvm

formal lichen
#

rarity means nothing

radiant zenith
wild folio
#

LMAO

#

imagine if that was it

radiant zenith
#

I feel more like a kinderance

frozen isle
#

what if we ask about relation to other jokers

radiant zenith
#

then a help

formal lichen
#

i think we should ask if its x0.5 mult

#

because thats the leading theory

frozen isle
#

as in 'does the effect have to do anything with other jokers'

feral valve
#

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

feral valve
radiant zenith
#

Does offer mean the joker is shop related?

formal lichen
prime shale
daring kindle
#

ask the question that gets us the most info that can also be an entirely 100% yes no answer

prime shale
#

it would have to be vague enough to count as a yes

radiant zenith
#

ok we all agree then

prime shale
#

not yet!

formal lichen
#

but what is the actual question

prime shale
#

we gotta be careful with the wording

daring kindle
#

this lifeline is like a spectral pack

formal lichen
#

maybe something like
lmao ignore this

daring kindle
#

if we word it wrong it could lead us off track

frozen isle
radiant zenith
#

This riddle is giving me

frozen isle
formal lichen
#

ye

prime shale
#

how about "does this joker affect or(inclusive) is affected by other jokers?"

formal lichen
#

maybe just have a very vague message

prime shale
#

do we want to narrow down joker destruction maybe?

radiant zenith
#

I think we wanna narrow down the first line

daring kindle
daring kindle
#

that is the caviot of the hint

radiant zenith
#

because 3rd line means it resets

prime shale
#

perhaps "does this joker cause the destruction/selling of other jokers?"

radiant zenith
#

and 2nd means 0.5 gain

#

the first line advances the next 2

wheat swan
radiant zenith
#

Gain a hanged man
For every time useing the hanged man gain 0.5x multi
If not used, reset

formal lichen
#

i refuse to believe its a tarot/celestial joker

radiant zenith
frozen isle
#

specific tarots dont seems good

formal lichen
#

do we have a question wea re going to ask local

#

y/n

daring kindle
#

"This joker interacts with other jokers to gain a 0.5 multiplier of some kind"

prime shale
#

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

wild folio
#

Get Campfire a law degree

radiant zenith
#

LOL

prime shale
#

thanks lol

wild folio
#

I'll answer a question when it has 5 thumbs up

prime shale
#

4 votes yes, any other suggestions or edits?

formal lichen
#

no its good

#

i say run it

radiant zenith
#

I think its good

daring kindle
#

run it

radiant zenith
#

If you say no local Ima go get dinner as rage food

formal lichen
#

campire react for the 5th reaction

radiant zenith
#

Order in the COURT!

formal lichen
#

kk local answer it you ||handsome man||

radiant zenith
#

Presiding, LocalThunk

prime shale
#

we got over 5! question is locked in

wild folio
#

YES

prime shale
#

hell yeah!!

daring kindle
#

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

radiant zenith
#

YES!

formal lichen
#

okay so its a dagger clone

#

YAY i lied no its not

daring kindle
#

HELL YEAH

prime shale
#

genuinely SO exciting

formal lichen
#

yees

#

ok so now we know its destruction of jokers

#

of some sort

wheat swan
#

1x mult, +0.5x mult each round but destroys a random joker each round

frozen isle
#

lets go

radiant zenith
formal lichen
#

so its either a similar concept to invisible joker

#

or its a dagger clone

#

pick your poison

daring kindle
#

or its both

formal lichen
#

or both ya

#

i still kinda like the idea of 0.5 ante

wild folio
#

This is 100% correct

formal lichen
#

buh

wheat swan
#

wait actually

frozen isle
#

lets goooooooooo

wheat swan
#

nice

prime shale
#

holy shit!!

frozen isle
#

yes

formal lichen
#

gg

daring kindle
#

WOOOOOOO

formal lichen
#

les goo

prime shale
#

GGs

#

great work everyone!

daring kindle
#

of course math would get it lol

wheat swan
#

lol

wild folio
#

I'd like to explain the riddle a bit - there were some details that were tripping people up

formal lichen
#

do another one

wild folio
#

it was confusing granted

wheat swan
#

I was thinking madness = randomness

frozen isle
#

hey local can you confirm if the art for it is crazy hair joker

formal lichen
#

the bottom line was a straight red herring

prime shale
#

this was a lot of fun

formal lichen
#

lets go

daring kindle
#

made it super fun

prime shale
#

analyzing every word was enjoyable

formal lichen
#

yuh

radiant zenith
#

I WAS SO CLOSE ON MY FIRST GUESS

#

Im mad

polar sentinel
#

jesus y'all still talking about this riddle

#

its been a hour

radiant zenith
prime shale
#

we solved it!

polar sentinel
#

cool

mellow fox
#

Now we need to figure out the name of the joker

frozen isle
#

Madness

daring kindle
formal lichen
polar sentinel
#

sociopath

#

i dunno

formal lichen
mellow fox
prime shale
formal lichen
#

maybe the purge

radiant zenith
#

same

formal lichen
#

or the virus

daring kindle
#

"The Madness"
1x mult, +0.5x mult each round but destroys a random joker each round

radiant zenith
#

The purge sounds to cool

formal lichen
#

or the the

jade narwhal
#

RIDE THE BUS

daring kindle
#

the madness was litterally in the hint

soft fossil
#

Nah I vibe with "Sociopath" that's funny as all hell

prime shale
#

can that random joker include itself though?

mellow fox
#

If you have only that joker, does it destroy itself?

polar sentinel
wheat swan
#

I think yes

formal lichen
frozen isle
formal lichen
#

that was in the hint

wild folio
#

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

radiant zenith
daring kindle
prime shale
#

me too

formal lichen
wild folio
#

I changed it to offer from sacrifice to make it more challenging 🙂

radiant zenith
prime shale
#

it was really clever

formal lichen
#

selling the joker does not revive them therefore it is not a cure

radiant zenith
#

next time you do this ping me

formal lichen
wild folio
#

That's what I was going for there

mellow fox
#

Show us the card description

formal lichen
radiant zenith
#

You made me get addicted to the other game and then started the thread afterwards

prime shale
formal lichen
#

heheha

radiant zenith
#

so does it include itself or nay?

formal lichen
#

i love when my joker decides to kill itself for no reason

radiant zenith
#

so it doesnt include itself

prime shale
#

i mean, gros michel is right there

polar sentinel
#

@wild folio not related to this topic but
will there be "mod" support? like custom jokers, stakes, blinds

radiant zenith
#

Also is the 1.5x permanent or just a round?

radiant zenith
prime shale
#

"each round" implies it stacks i think

radiant zenith
#

yeah

formal lichen
#

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

radiant zenith
#

thats a stretch

formal lichen
#

at least i do

wild folio
#

Math was actually 100% right

formal lichen
wild folio
#

it's very close to the actual description

radiant zenith
#

Can you pin the description?

prime shale
#

so.. random does include itself?

formal lichen
#

||do this again tmr or smth||

radiant zenith
#

thanks local

soft fossil
#

Local you gotta tell us if random includes itself

formal lichen
#

i assume no

radiant zenith
#

knowing local no

wild folio
#

Which is better designed?

daring kindle
#

lmao

radiant zenith
#

LOL

#

Depends on the rarity

formal lichen
#

we do a litle trollin`

frozen isle
#

so this is crazy hair joker right

radiant zenith
#

if its uncommon destroy itself
If rare Dont

frozen isle
#

can you confirm if it is

daring kindle
#

almost indefenitly

#

its either that or the dracula

prime shale
#

just a casual x24 mult in the final round lmao

#

if you can manage the eco

formal lichen
#

ngl this is just dagger x bus lmao

#

kinda just seems like busted throwback

radiant zenith
#

kinda yeah

wild folio
#

The drawback is huge

radiant zenith
#

its almost my bedtime already

prime shale
#

being a random joker helps cause if you get something else busted, odds are you wont keep it forever

radiant zenith
wild folio
#

It's almost bad lmao

prime shale
#

youd have to build entirely around The Madness and hope you get enough chips and mult jokers every shop

formal lichen
shy lotus
#

Not sure about the go back home. Does it delete itself if there are no jokers left to eat? The Ouroboros?

radiant zenith
#

oh

#

does it sell every joker?

formal lichen
daring kindle
#

tbh i can see this card x the straight strat used in jokerless and destroying everything

radiant zenith
#

Its 1 random joker no?

frozen isle
daring kindle
formal lichen
radiant zenith
#

ok then

frozen isle
#

wait nvm about that

radiant zenith
#

so 24x24 still possible

frozen isle
#

i misread

prime shale
#

chance to destroy your lovely brand new legendary card :)

radiant zenith
#

576x multi seems balanced

#

also if you get 2x blueprint

frozen isle
#

if you use planet cards that sounds busted

radiant zenith
#

13824x

frozen isle
radiant zenith
#

theres probably gonna be 1 seed where you can get 24x and blueprint

formal lichen
daring kindle
#

eternal jokers: you are no match for me, the madness

formal lichen
#

thats an easy 1+ quadrillion

wheat swan
radiant zenith
formal lichen
#

invisible joker/ringmaster go brr

radiant zenith
#

191102976

#

24^6 = ^

prime shale
#

this joker is a pretty spot-on homestuck reference

#

amusing

daring kindle
#

oh yeah what would this joker do if u had two from ring master

radiant zenith
#

now add 99 blueprints and one 24x THE MADNESS

daring kindle
#

would it eat eachother

formal lichen
radiant zenith
wheat swan
#

Like if you had both at x2, both trigger and one of them dies, then the remaining one is x2.5

radiant zenith
#

I wonder what the most amount of blueprints is possible in the full release?

daring kindle
#

infinite

#

if u just had negative blueprints spawn on loop with ringmaster

formal lichen
radiant zenith
#

but like seed wise

radiant zenith
formal lichen
#

wait no

hybrid pecan
formal lichen
#

||local i beg of you to do this again this is such a good way to reveal jokers||

prime shale
#

the red miles

prime shale
#

not every day for sure but sometime

formal lichen
#

new dailyish poll

frozen isle
#

weekly

formal lichen
#

lmao

#

yeah weekly

daring kindle
#

weekly riddle would go so hard

prime shale
#

daring kindle
#

daring kindle
frozen isle
#

radiant zenith
#
