So... we dont have to read the text at all and just go with a random imoje choice until we hit the desired green cashout?

 

I have been under the impression that the responses had certain weight on the affected outcome, but interesting to know i can just picture a giant TL:DR on the display and just play up arrow / down arrow LOL

Asgamoth [2328223]

 

A player can spend eight Nerve to farm email addresses, adding to the total count of emails addresses available to send spam mail to. The more email addresses a player has, the more responses they will receive.

It is possible to get a result that will set up a phisher that will passively gather email addresses for the player

Jesus Christ after spamming the emoji icons like a spastic special ed case and getting multiple critical fails it's great to see that the emojis don't actually mean a goddamn thing. Instead they're just directional inputs. Well thanks for this, I'd still be trying to decipher the psychological profile of a fictional email address instead of just clicking "move right". Much appreciated.

THEPLAYER [1461376]

Yeah it is not a cybercrime which is strange considering it most certainly is a cybercrime. There is a fraudulent element as well so both are applicable.

Ratsplat [3128547]

Any ideas whether it is worth doing a delivery scam, which has very few reds, and just spamming move forward and back over and over? Early on this may boost our CS gain considerably, especially if a spam wave only gives us one whole response. But later on, when you're getting 5+ responses from 1 spam, it'll likely be better to just get max prizes with as few moves as possible.

Note that, sometimes, when you press the $$ button on the dark green part, you can also crit-fail. 

 

Or, at least, that's what happened to me.
