Visual: A tacky Jimbo-themed novelty wall clock
Effect: +5 chips for every second (in real time on 1x speed) it takes to count up your played hand

I feel like this defies some fundamental law of game development but i cant quite put a finger on it

Essentially just a reverse speedrun timer

This is really weird. I also don't know what to feel about it
jolly onyx
Well it’s every second from you hitting “play hand” to the card being triggered following counting up said hand
Damn thought I actually had a decent idea this time

I like the idea of making a joker that benefits from those long convoluted combos you can do, but I think there are better ways to approach it
signal sundial
IT could just provide a bonus proportional to the number of triggers
stable hazel
Again, I like the goal, but the method of achieving it is a bit too meta(and I’m an undertale fan, so that’s says a lot)
woven pulsar
This is great
It really isnt

I think this would be nice, like for instance when it gets to endgame and many played hands are receiving boosts from other jokers/retriggers. Not to mention that this joker could maybe upgrade over time, this would be interesting but could potentially be switched out by better alternatives.
woven pulsar
I just dont like the idea of using time to scale a jonkler
silk heart
I respect that but you should let everyone display their opinion and not force yours
silk heart
It really isnt
…
woven pulsar
Im displaying my opinion, just like everyone else
silk heart
🤦
woven pulsar
Just because my opinion doesnt agree with yours doesnt suddenly mean im forcing it
silk heart
I never condemned your opinion, it’s just how you’re talking here
warped plover
I think the nonmeta is cool if based on other triggers
woven pulsar
Maybe it could be +5 chips per “card action”?
That would be absurdly op
jolly onyx
It’s the exact same thing what
jolly onyx
I don’t get how it’s op tho?
Like you’d need 21 effects to trigger in order to get the same effect from this as a blue joker
jolly onyx
Ok then cool
simple stag
I think it’s a good idea
unkempt stump
I'm just a huge fan of the creativity and the immense synergy potential with LITERALLY EVERY JOKER 😭😭😭

I hate time based things in strategy card games that require you to at least think for a moment, I know this has nothing to do with like, a time limit, but this, I don't like this at all, its also the reason why I immediately disable all time based things in cryptid mod, anything that has to do with time is an immediate nope for me
unkempt stump
That seems like misplaced hatred? You hate time LIMITS not the concept of time. It'd be like if you hated the timer in the You Win screen

wouldnt this just be winmore though
usually when it takes longer for you to score you end up getting more points than something thats shorter to score
signal sundial
the number of cards triggered per hand pre-ante-8 is probably going to be no more than 30
so if we just assume 5 chips per trigger then that's like 150 chips
simple stag
Switch players would be incredibly happy if this joker was in the game
Like I mean the lag sometimes is horrendous
woven pulsar
the number of cards triggered per hand pre-ante-8 is probably going to be no mor...
That a pretty damn high amount i’d say
5 scoring cards, which isnt even every run, and 5 jokers, and its not always that they all score
signal sundial
well my point is that if you made the chip bonus proportional to triggers and tweaked the number to a nice value, you would have the same effect that OP wanted, except it would be described in terms of card triggers and not actual play time.
but yeah, if you had a hack, a hiker, a sinful joker, and a fibonacci, say
that would 2 * (3 * 5)
if everything was scoring and suited
Honestly it's not a bad idea for a common chips joker. It gives you not-quite banner levels of chips for a virgin deck and potentially Stuntman levels if you tailor your deck around it.
maybe if the chips per trigger were brought up to 7-8 per trigger
plus it works on a wide variety of hand types.
signal sundial
I feel like this defies some fundamental law of game development but i cant quit...
well for one thing, it's not even deterministic. if i took the same sequence of actions on a shitbox computer, i should get the same output as i would have if i played the game on a nasa supercomputer
unkempt stump
Per frame divided by 60 or 30 or whatever
unkempt stump
wouldnt this just be winmore though
I can sadly say, with confidence, that more triggers doesn't always result in better score 😭
signal sundial
yeah it doesn't scale nearly hard enough to be winmore
silk heart
yeah it doesn't scale nearly hard enough to be winmore
could just be used in the start, it’s only a common after all
signal sundial
My version:
Trigger Happy. Common - $4. Yields +7 chips per card that was triggered this hand
Card art is one of those clown bang flag guns but it has jimbos head on it.

That’s also good, i’m guessing you’re not really into the whole time thing or?
