If Crazy Joe reveals himself at that point, he wins instead of everyone losing. In UberChrononauts, everyone loses as usual if the Universe is destroyed and Crazy Joe wasn't involved. However, when Crazy Joe is in the game, things get a little (shall we say) crazy. The Universe teeters on the brink of destruction but doesn't actually collapse. Instead, a special team of Time Police agents (who've been pursuing Crazy Joe across the timesteam for eons) will suddenly show up to take care of the situation. * Here's what happens. Crazy Joe is credited for having destroyed the Universe -- the player has achieved one of the 3 goals for victory and keeps the ID card face up on the table thereafter -- but because they were pursuing him, the Time Police step in to prevent the final collapse of the universe. (And while they're busy keeping Time intact, Crazy Joe gets away scot-free! Laughing maniacally, of course.) * Here's how the Time Police restore reality. Each of Crazy Joe's opponents gets an imaginary Restore History card, and must immediately use it on the Red Linchpin of their choice. After each other player has repaired the Timeline in this way, the Time Police vanish, and normal play resumes with whoever's turn it was. But the Time Police will not return. If the Universe is destroyed a second time, it really does get destroyed, and all players, including Crazy Joe, are considered losers.
