The Book of Mad Thinker

[Scapemage]

ATTENTION! Mad Thinker has gone through the reevaluation process and has been updated as follows. The updated wording is in the Second Post (SP) and the cards will be updated soon.

MIND GAMES
After revealing a numbered Order Marker on this card, before taking a turn, you may choose an unrevealed Order Marker on an opponent's Army Card. That opponent must place that Order Marker on another Army Card they control, if possible.

ANDROID AFFINITY
After revealing an Order Marker on this card and instead of taking a turn with Mad Thinker, you may choose a Unique Android Hero you control. If that Hero does not have the Weak-Minded special power, roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 8 or higher, or that Hero has the Weak-Minded special power, take a turn with that Hero. After this turn, you may immediately remove any unrevealed Order Marker from this card and take one additional turn with the same Hero. You may only use Android Affinity to take an additional turn once per round.

What changed?

[ALEXAN2507]

Wait nvm I got it

The old design is still in the SP for comparison. For Mind Games, your opponent now gets to select where their Order Marker moves to rather than Mad Thinker’s player. For Android Affinity, it is now harder to control Androids without Weak Minded.

I also updated the second post with the Secret Identity Julius that Ronin mentioned. He didn't get much pushback (and I forgot to mention that I was in favor) so I assume we're fine with that.

Cards updated! Good call on the identity Johnny.

[Scapemage]

I believe the Identity should be "Julius ???" for consistency's sake. Also, the cards need the Identity now.

We've gone both ways. Bullseye gets ??? for the last name, Angel (Liam) doesn't. I prefer the latter, but I'm not super picky about it.

I am seeing it on the cards.

[tcglkn]

I thought we had discussed it and settled on just Julius which is why I put that on the card. If you aren't seeing it Scapey you just need to hard refresh the page.

I think we decided at one point to try not to do any more ??? for names.
Not 100% on that though. Let me check Judge Fire.


EDIT: In the comics it is known that Judge Fire was originally known as Judge Fuego.
His first name was not revealed. Instead of ??? Fuego, we went with just Fuego.

Sounds like a plan. Thanks guys.

Yeah, the ??? thing is basically a sign of it being an older card before we established the aesthetic of not doing that. I kind of like that Joker's the main one who breaks the rules there, though.
