Are the rules for Joker/Time Thief good? Or should they be changed?

I figured out how to do the stars on the knights for crippled amazons.

This is for a game of Bulldog Chess with Time Thief, Joker, and Crippled Amazons between Fly-Eagles-Fly and Thegreatauk.
Time Thief (TT) - The Time Thief moves like a Queen, but does not have a normal capture. The Time Thief has a special move that is done in 2 steps.
The Time Thief may not undo a move if the Time Thief was captured or if it is unable to capture the piece that moved after undoing the move.
Note that this means the Time Thief must "see" the piece before it moved.
From this it follows, that a King in reach of a Time Thief would put himself into check by moving away.
Crippled Amazon (CA) - Moves and captures like a Knight. When two Crippled Amazons of the same color are separated by a Knight's move, they can temporarily move, capture and give check like an Amazon (Q-N compound) until one of them moves out of such a position or is captured.
There are not Crippled Amazon icons on Martin0's colored templates, so I just used knights in the board.
Joker (J) - Moves and captures like the last piece with which the opponent has moved. But does not inherit any special functions. A Joker who is imitating a Crippled Amazon, can move like a Queen, if he is a Knight's move away from another friendly Crippled Amazon. That other Crippled Amazon does not get the Queen's move from the presence of the Joker, and a Joker cannot move like Crippled Amazon if he is a knight's move away only from another Joker, not a Crippled Amazon. A Joker who is imitating a Time Thief moves and captures like a normal Queen.
A Joker who imitates a pawn can move 2 squares if he is on his 2nd rank.
Fly-Eagles-Fly will play white (or yellow, actually). Good luck and have fun!
