I'm stuck very early

[Ryan Dorkoski]

I can't figure out how to go about the Capacash quest. I've searched everything I can think of, and used the keywords. Results come up, but they all use Hypnocoin. Getting a bit frustrated this early on.

Seems easy, but I can't figure it. Any hints?

[Wiw]

I was stuck on this one too, when I played it at EGX last year. Turns out, you have to download Professor Helper.

Hey Ryan! SPOILERS:

#1: Have you found any particularly annoying apps to download?
#2: There's someone who wants to help you, but they want you to pay them hypnocoins before they'll email you

Hmmm, thank you, but I have to ask - how were we supposed to come to that conclusion? I generally avoid viruses. Was it a trial-and-error thing?

Right, but I generally don't want annoying apps at this point in the game, and I didn't catch any hints that it would cause progression. Must just be me, I don't know.

You have to remember, your role is internet enforcer. You're *meant* to be looking for nuisances etc, as the goal of the game :)

Hmm, but that nuisance doesn't seem to have anything to do with said quest - or does it? I can't see a meaningful link.

Anyways, so you would deliberately download known malicious software to your machine? Why not just flag the page instead? Either way, I'm not following the line of logic, so I must be missing something. And most importantly it's (seemingly) not related to the Capacash quest which is the original issue/note I have. No biggie. Maybe this is more a nod to most historical point-n-clicks that have illogical solutions?


Congrats on launch,

Ryan, as for Professor Helper, I first found reference to it on the Goodtime Scam Watch page that specifically warns its sole purpose is to get you to use Cappa Cash. That's how I knew as an enforcer I needed to check it out.

Edit: Grammar

Interesting. I did find the page you were referencing, but didn't make the connection. Thanks for the note. I assume that this procedure is a bottleneck for finding the other 3 (out of 4 total IIRC) Cappcash vendors/users. Thanks again.

Is it weird that I found the professor helper uninstaller before I found the installer?

Nope.

No not at all. I'm pretty sure that the scam watch links to the uninstaller

Actually, there is a way to visit Professor Helper Capa Cash pages without having to download it, you just need to search "professorhelper"
