yooo
alright lets just move to this thread @stone mirage @tired adder @tight hinge
Is it a passive and non conditional effect
thats two questions
oh aarush is here now
is it in hand effect
Is it a passive effect
not necessarily
no
yes
for the spirit of the game, id say it is
Is it a conditional effect
is it both at once is one question
is it enhancement related
ooo
what about this
no
can it give you econ, even if its not an econ joker (selling the joker doesnt count lol)
anything can give you econ, so yes.
is it related to consumable cards
no
selling dosent coutn right?
would you say 4f could give you econ? whatever it doesnt really matter
Does it produce a consumable card
no
its not related to consumable caards
Oops
wait is it uncommon
no
Common?
yes
does it save you from boss blind
Is it a food item
CREDIT CARD
thats econ imo
no its not related to econ
yes
RIFF RAFF
no
Does it add a discard or hand
does it scale
Not two questions
maze or aarush
wait juggler
well actually thanks to @tight hinge question
teehee
maze u go
its been more than a asecond
got it
is it scoring
yes
is it common
does it scale
sort of, it helps your score but isnt strictly scoring
Interesting
is it common
under "permanently gaining value," no
but this COULD mislead you.. il say no it doesnt scale
no
yes
is it stencil
stencil rare definitely
no, stencil is strictly scoring despite being conditional
good to know
is it related to econ
Does it have values (any kind) that change on the card
it can be but generally no
lilo was right lol anything can be econ
can be
is it RNG would be a better question
yes!
Technically no
is it RNG
does its value change depending on amount of specific card you have
Suit selects, scaling that isnāt scaling, probability, card selects

there are like 2 jokers that do that lol
cloud 9
and i dont think anything else
Does it care about card suit
is it +mult
oh enhancement jokers. anyways

it is
dementia out here
it can be, but no
its scoring
Does it deckfix
it can give you +mult from synergy
right mb
it is not +mult

is it retriggering effect
yes
Dusk
is it hack
pretty obv now
is it sock
none of those
???
huh
are you stupid
its rare joker
Oh interesting
not rare lmao
hack is uncommon
maze replied to 'is it uncommon' with yes
uncommon
silly aarush
yea sorry if u were misled
SKETZER
bingo
Yeah
š
unfortunately typo and after aarush lol
strek of 3
aarush
No that was me reacting to him
i see
Cause yeah thatās the one retrigger I always forget
what?
its your turn
yep
ok
Is it xmult
is it scaling
Y
reply š
reply to the message
also if ur on pc just react its quicker
N
Is it +chips
OK
uhhh
uncommon chips?
Does it have retrigger synergy
hiker
Is it castle
castle
alr
ALR
ok i would like to say tho
technically
before we start a new round
Go for it
we should have this scaling definition:
i love this game
Yeah
bean is scaling
it permanently gains value when something happens
no
So much less redacting files
we wont allow descaling
bull and boorstraps are scling too
and also bean has an upper limit, on its descaling
based on this definition, no.
also stone would not be scaling
No, the cards never change effect technically
this makes it confusing
They just always give + related to X
well
no actually it makes it very simple
what
you should change your definition
how is stone not scaling
maze change your scaling definitiopn
balatrodle definition
see bean is scaling
so then wdym stone isnt scaling
āOr decreasesā
well stones can be hung. if no one likes this definition but me
then sure
this is good
also hi
ur definition is trash
decreases or increases on card is scaling
yeah i like that
ok ok we use this
its consistent
Hi š Iām lurking
ok now new round you or @flint ember if he wants to play
so bootstraps and bull are scaling too
we ok with this?
Sure ig
if just lurking then we can go to me
Rules arenāt static anyways
i think it would be ddx now lol
I canāt lead Iām at work. But thanks
I got a fun one but I donāt mind
what
me than it was him then aarush ok lilo goes
alright
we both misremembered lol
im ready
sorry lilo
its ddx's turn
is it scoring
I vote to not ask rarity
oh...
fair enough, you can go next round. do we just state scoring or not ask because it narrows it down too much?
Nah scoring is fine
alr so lilo is it common
Rarity just really strangles the pool
ok after this round we cant ask rarity
Is it uncommon
is it econ
It also means rare and legendary jokers are suicide rounds
is it utility
is it enhancement related
lol
can someone explain utility to me
Does it deckfix
does it destroy, create, or beneft from either?
after
huh
is it related to consumable cards
6th sense adn trading card destroy, cartomancer creates, madness the other two benefit from destruction
does it effect handsize/hands/discards
but troub doesnt do either and is util, i would say
is it scaling
yes. i wasnt asking util, i was asking does it destroy create or benefit from either
Hm. Is it dice
is it rng
Idk a good question that rules out dice from there so
its utility bro
does it make playing hands easier
there are like 3 cards that do this
Yeah that works for me
ur gonna explain utility to me later i thought
^
true ill just now
Does it have a downside
all jokers have technically
MERRY ANDY
good point, but yes it does have a direct downside.
No discard efffects
is it cola
utility doesnt give you econ or scoring, but it gives you something like extra hand size, discards, or makes a hand easier to play, or something like that
it creates
and i hope ddx wasnt gonna do that
so it falls under one of maze's old questions
it does? u didnt answer that question i dont think lol
ohh diet cola does
I canāt think of a non hand/discard related uncommon that has a downside
its a creation joker right?
troubador
no thats cola
Thatās hand related
its one you wouldnt think of having a downside
Ughh
it dosent give hands/discards right?
but it is a direct downside
astronomer
cause yeah itās bad fixing but itās deckfixing
astro is econ
midas mask and hologram both have indirect downsides
yeah
right?
I guess yes
its effect is price
yeah
egg
But there do exist like, objective downsides
indirect, yes.
marble joker
i was replying to the msg about astro
lol reacted to the wrong message
MARBLE JOKER
Thereās no way losing a discard or hand size is a good thing.
Maybe if youāre trying to like
Lowball rounds
meaning to
But the clanging of your steel cards is scaring away the scaling
did we guess paeradolia
you didnt reply to the astro message but you meant to
yeah
lemme confirm agaian is it handsize/hands/discards/creation?
Does it have a boss blind exclusive effect
sixth sense
Whyād I ask that
lmao
it dosent make playing hands easier right?
right.
6s is creation. not creation
btw
rihght
are we making matador boss exclusive
because technically
on the double or nothing challenge
it should be
it procs on debuffed cards
Wait what? Thatās hilarious
its not matador btw
challenges dont count
wait REALLY? thats so cool. still boss exclusive tho
but I think thatās an oversight
dont count challenges
yeah no challenges
this is the biggest clue btw
certificate
aw man
1 sec
SHOWMAN SHOWMAN
THATS SO GOOD
MAN SHOW
Fun joker
downside
yeah its showman 100%
it has donside
your entire shop could be more showmans lol
Iād love to see the showman seed
ah
WHAAT
dammit
im so glad i picked this
Marble�
did i guess carto
Thatās deckfix
MARBLE?
not retriggering effect
it has a direct downside
I GUESSED THAT 5 MINS AGO
dang
mannnnnnnnnnnn
really? you said it was something you wouldnt at first imagine to be a downside or something like that
yes
It canāt be dagger which is the only other downside Iām thinking of
but it is a direct downside
its not spcae joker
madness...
Blackboard isnāt passive
Vampire is score and scaling
NOT SCORINg
oh yeah
Card sharp doesnāt negatively affect anything right
I should elaborate with a question on that
And itās scoring
no
is it scaling
specifically about scoring
Does it affect the score of a hand if itās being triggered on its own
trading card
creation
trading card is deckfixing
Deckfix
Does it have a value that can change over the course of the run (sell value and perishable doesnāt count)
mr bones if your suicidal
wait it wasnt creation?
yes
NOOOOOOOOO
wait WHAT
š
mr bones has a direct downside
NO FUCKING WAY
Bones is a boss effect
LMFAOOOOOOO
omg
no it isnt
Oh no it isnāt shit
can be small/big too
whos turn
dx
I ruled out bones so long ago fuck
then mine i think
Yeah okay Iām ready
i was wanting you guys to ask if its scoring related
alr no rarities this time
is it econ or econ related
ok is it scoring
prob wonāt matter but sure
bet
No
No
No (again) and no
is it utility?
does it have a white background on the card art
Yeah
No
cool
ooh
does it have more than 5 colors
shortcut?
No
is it creation or destruction
Yeah I think so
very vague question
No
well ig not
is it related to a specific rank or suit or type of card(s)
ok
shading?
does it make playing hands easier
No
is it scaling
no
Yeah but itās a sneaky joker
does it effect handsize/discards/hands
No
burglar again?
No
affect btw
Itās sneaky because of what I picked
INVIS JOKER
thats creation
No
right
And yeah it makes a card
what
Yes
it makes a card?
pog
where did that come from and why was it right
Invis does
š
Not the one I thought of
right okay
ok me now?
Copy effect jokers technically have very few effect
ahh i have several good ones i want to do
I canāt say yes to literally every answer
i got 5 wins i think
And the card effect is passive, static, cares about position, etc
You guess rapidly
im speed
Often incorrectly
is it scoring
does the placement of this joker matter
true lol
Play the game silly
no
cool
yes
right so
well yes for bp/bs but yk
by this i mean
is it retriggering efffect
no
can the impact of the joker change depending on it's placement (besides for being copied by bp/bs)
gtg
no matter where you place it it has the same effect?
yeah i figured. no it cant
alright
nooooooo goodbye aarush
Can scrambling overall joker order change anything
so no scoring apart from chips
Instead of just the one joker
yeah
its scoring
is it compatible
yes
Does it have synergy with Oa6
No itās a very specific question
yeah
true
its more specific than rng
Cause that includes retriggers imo
cause rng includes tdl, idol, etc
And lucky cards
?
retriggers arent related to oa6s or RNG
not directly
Yeah but loosely
i wouldnt count that
back
hm...
is it creation or destruction
r u stil going
no
ok
i am
We think itās chips right
yeah
alr so does it make playing hands easier
no š there aer like 4 jokers that do this bro
ok
does it give mult and chips
walkie talkie
no (not BOTH)
no
yes
Does it synergize with retriggers
yes
right
no
Does it care about suit at all
its not necessarily chips
yes, sort of
actually no it is
hmm
still chips
Hm.
is it only and only chips

hm
ooo
Iām sorry but Iām lost on sort-of suit related
is it scaling
no
you will see why when its revealed, felt like that was actually kind of a big hint lol
Multiple effects including chips, cares about suit sorta
Alright
multiple effects including chips? i dont remember saying either of those...
Does it have a chip related effect
no
i dont remember saying that
Yeah figured we should have asked
so is it scoring
They ruled it out and we assumed from there
its scoring
it is, aarush asked
is it xmult
yes
on-score xmult
WHAHTHHAHTHATHA
shit u have it now lol
is it RNG
With retrigger synergy
idol?
Lucky cat?
ancient joker?
good job
Itās not
i dont get it
Itās just xmult
explain
but maze said yes to chips
yes, if we agree that its RNG since its affected by which card it picks that seems fair
when
Show us
u didnt?
Nah
lemme choose
lol
@onyx juniper okay so you lied
Is it Chip related
when lilo said rng includes things like idol i was shaking in my boots
ok, where
Is it scoring I should ask
how
because if you have on-score +mult after on-score xmult
it applies +mult first
assuming its on the same card
like with smiley and photo
Interesting, thatās true
ohhhh my bad. i should get a penalty for that lmao
yeah
-1 win for me š
lol
joker order can affect the impact
yeah i forgot that you could include other onscore jokers
why is the name "20 questions btw"
Does it have a cash effect
just cause thats a similar game
thats the base game except were not coutning questions
wdym
ā20 questionsā is a real game
econ
Money. Does it have an effect related to money
Nah, this includes bull and boot
true
is it related to discards
or hands
(burglar is like kinda econ lol)
is it rebate
Ye but not cash related
dam that was fsat

ASK A QUESTION OMG

Yeah
ROCKET
rockt
Yes
lmao tie game?
tie game aarush was nerfed
little finger nerf made u win'
You technically said it first by a mile
ill go now
u win
.
ok i have one i think
Hoped to get āscalingā first because not many scaling jokers are Econ
so kind of u but no'
ok i had two i wanted to do. ive decided
u can guess now
Oh
rng
Is it scaling
no
no
econ
Scoring?

hands discards handsize
yes
nope
Does it have a hand (type) related trigger
conditional?

yes
licensde
dude
Is it xmult
come on
what
š
Pfft
nerfed win
howd u guess so quickly š
wins: 6 š
ok well @tired adder should go now but i think shes gone
Typing the jokers that catch your eye in collection > braincell activity
so aarush
We knew it was xmult?
true but did i say xmult?
ye
i dont think so but we knew it was scoring
anyways there are lots of these not just license
it was xmult
like blackboard
ddx asked
After you guessed lol
after u guessed
we didnāt know it was xmult
i went back in time']
and card sharp, theres a whole group of "cavendishionals" that give conditional x3 mult
and things like seeing double
but ofc u just immediately knew it was license lmao
ok @stone mirage you go or need to eat?
alr my turn wait 1 min
k
I wonder if we add a win condition for the⦠uhh. Non guesser
probably not it would be convoluted i think, if we make it something like 20 questions max people can still blurt out dumb questions and mess everyone else up
Like a limited number of joker guesses, but that doesnāt work here lol.
Limited number of joker guesses per person
Nah max questions is boring
hmm thats better but you would have to keep count lool
is it econ
oooooooh
ok
if everyone guesses their 3 jokers i win
@tired adder if you come back, new rule, unlimited normal guesses but 3 lives of joker names
rigjht?
You can keep playing after losing lives
Yes
see but wait this goes hard cus hear me out
you cant ask twice in a row
im winnin this one
so for example if you think its card sharp
Yup
and you say "does it start with c, end with p, and give you 3x mult conditionally"
Itās less about the endgame final guess and more about the fun part of strategizing a question
and the answer is yes, someone else can say CARD SHARP!
my wins before: 6
my wins after 5 minutes: 7
yea
cool
your question @tight hinge
Ah
i cant
Does it have a passive effect
Is its effect always active
no
no?
ok wait golden ticket is unconditional
golden ticket is passive?
Ye sorry ticket is not always active
so in that case, is it unconditional, but passive effect is something like
Forgive me, but FYI your game is more fun to follow than most actual sports š
drunkard
alr maze your question
lmao
join in fellow
ok well im assuming its not something like burglar because u said no passive effect, is it utility?
Can it trigger more than once per blind.
hmm
explain utility again
Itās not directly helping score or money, and itās not leveling up hands or deckfixing
Thanks but canāt rn š
Itās instead making managing your deck and hands played easier
Burglar, drunkard, shortcut
well id say space joker is utility/scoring its like a grey area and burnt is utility
utiity is something that gives you some sort of positive benefit thats not just like econ or scoring. for example, juggler gives +1 hand size but no money or anything
Does it relate to hand levels
troubador gives +2 hand size -1 hand, thats utility
then i think its utility
utility is just anything that gives you a bonus like deckfixing or something like shortcut/four fingers, drunkard, etc
ok
