#JOKER - Chain Reaction

what if it's equal
if this doesnt make sense then here's an example
if you play a flush with (in order) a king, 8, 6, 5, and 2, then the 8 will look at the card before it (king) and increase by 1 because the king is higher ranked. and then that for all other scored cards
does nothing
this also goes for the inverse with decreasing ranks
it's interesting
and cool
does it do the thing before cards score
like midas mask
when a card scores it changes
i hadnt actually considered that but i think it should be
yeah that'd be cool
"previously scored" implies that retriggers wouldnt do jack shit, because like
say you play a straight 6 5 4 3 2
and you have hack
the 2 becomes a 3 after being scored, then when it gets checked to be triggered again, the "previously scored" card was a 3 (and the card in question is a 3)
the point is that this would lead to spaghetti monster
cba
that was kind of my intent with this card because if you think about your hand's order more you can essentially rank up 4 cards in 1 hand but this joker can also fuck your deck up if you arent careful
this is true for straights but with flushes this is not always the case
im saying it causes too much jank
if you play a flush with a queen, jack, 7, 5, and 5 then the jack turns into a queen so no retriggers work
but the 7 goes up by however many times it's retriggered because there's a 5 rank difference between it and the queen
and then the 5 turns into a 6 and so the other 5 does too and that would be the hand
and unintuitive shit
this is incomprehensible word salad
@soft comet
sorry
ranks would shift a lot every hand but if you were just mindlessly playing hands without considering this joker's effect then your hand will be in rank order naturally if you're not rearranging so the worst it can do is make equal ranks that dont change
and you would only be rearranging your cards then if you had chad or something
This is an interesting concept, but i think it's too powerful as deck fixing, potentially changing up to 4 cards every hand, and too easy with flushes
It probably needs some limit, perhaps only triggering on the first hand of a round
RULES ARE CONSISTENT
you're probably right
i think the first hand is a fine fix
