I do agree with you Comte Dracula.

I am really frustrated not to have had any opportunity to acquire this card, Especially so, that I stupidly tried 😒. After spending a good bit of credits on these scratch cards I eventually managed to win a special event card, but not Melena's. A mistake I won't be doing again.

In the past special cards were not left to lottery as mentioned hereabove. I had no problems with that either, as the choice was yours. There was a price that you could be happy to pay or not to get the desired card or not.

Eventhough I've only been a "real" custommer for a year, I can remember the first TGIF I saw was a fixed percentage off on all cards of all the girls in a certain category (Redhead in this case). I have the feeling that I missed the good days of iStripper... As much as I enjoy(ed) iStripper, I am now considering other alternatives,

Here's a Question.
If a member has a full Collection. Call them a Whale .
How Much Does that Whale Spend in a Year to buy every card released that year?

Also,

Totem pays out 60% to their Affiliates and Only keeps 40% for the Business
how much does The Business keep a year from one of us Whales ?

and How Many Whales are there?

You Might be very surprised if you answer these questions...

you don't need to post the numbers here..
Just do it for your own knowledge...

Wyldanimal,

I believe that for once, no one is discussing profits. From my part I don't feel like I have received the opportunity to acqure a card I really wanted. Maybe after I spend 2,000 credits on scratch cards I'll eventually have it, maybe not. And it is not an amount of money I am ready to spend for a single card.

I am not affiliated to anyone and the money I spend buying credits all go to Totem, I am totally fine with that as it is a choice I make everytime I buy credit.

This is just the opinion of a relatively new custommer...

@ComteDracula ,

Unobtainable special event cards are the reason for this thread. In most cases, I do not have a problem with the special cards IF they are obtainable by following a clearly defined path - be that pre-ordering a month's cards, following timed steps such as last year's Black Friday special event card, or buying an 'advent calendar'.

I do have a problem with these cards being only available in a game of chance. That is just plain wrong, and that is an issue that needs to be addressed. I won't say how many scratch cards I paid for to NOT get this latest special event card.

@ComteDracula,

Les cartes d’événements spéciaux impossibles à obtenir sont la raison de ce fil de discussion. Dans la plupart des cas, les cartes spéciales ne me posent pas de problème SI elles peuvent être obtenues en suivant un chemin clairement défini - que vous commandiez à l'avance des cartes pour un mois, en suivant des étapes programmées telles que la carte d'événement spécial Black Friday de l'*****ée dernière, ou en achetant un 'calendrier de l'Avent'.

J'ai un problème avec ces cartes étant uniquement disponibles dans un jeu de hasard. C'est tout simplement faux, et c'est un problème qui doit être résolu. Je ne dirai pas combien de cartes à gratter que j'ai payées pour NE PAS obtenir cette dernière carte d'événement spécial.

@Chicsans ,

Let's leave aside the notion of a better customer.

I agree with you that the problem is more with special event cards, which have no definite path to acquiring them, and which leads people to spend a lot of credit without being sure that they will get the card.

I personally prefer when we are offered the card to the purchase of all the cards of the next month, or the purchase of the calendar of the Front.

On the other hand this unfortunately prevents people who do not want to buy cards blind, to have access to the purchase of these cards special events.

In fact, if Totem is doing this to get more money, why doesn't it just increase the cost of buying cards per unit a little?

Personally I'm against hazard games.

Don't be shy about telling us what it cost you to try to get Melena Tara Rya's card. This will show us even more concretely the absurdity of the situation.

Because the problem is not what people wanted to do to acquire this card, but this "cul-de-sac" in which Totem leads its customers.


@Chicsans ,

Laissons de côté la notion de meilleur clients.

Je suis d'accord avec vous, pour dire que le problème vient plus des cartes évènements spéciaux, qui n'ont pas de chemin défini pour en faire l'acquisition, et qui ammène les gens à dépenser beaucoup de crédits sans être certain au final d'obtenir la carte.

Je préfère personnellement lorsqu'on nous propose la carte à l'achat de toutes les cartes du prochain mois, ou l'achat du calendrier de l'Avant.

D'autres part cela empêche malheureusement les personnes qui ne veulent pas acheter des cartes à l'aveugle, d'avoir accès à l'achat de ces cartes évènements spéciaux..

Dans les faits, si Totem fait cela pour avoir plus d'argent, pourquoi n'augmente t-il tout simplement pas un peu le coût d'achat des cartes à l'unité ?

Personnellement je suis contre les jeux de hazard.

Ne vous gênez surtout pas pour nous dire ce que celà vous a coûté pour essayer d'obtenir la carte de Melena Tara Rya. Cela va nous démontrer encore plus concrètement l'absurdité de la situation.

Car le problème n'est pas ce que les gens ont voulu faire pour acquérir cette carte, mais ce "cul-de-sac", dans lequel Totem conduit ses clients.

Here's a Question.
If a member has a full Collection. Call them a Whale .
How Much Does that Whale Spend in a Year to buy every card released that year?

Also,

Totem pays out 60% to their Affiliates and Only keeps 40% for the Business
how much does The Business keep a year from one of us Whales ?

and How Many Whales are there?

You Might be very surprised if you answer these questions...

you don't need to post the numbers here..
Just do it for your own knowledge...

@ComteDracula ,

And I will come to my own conclusions.

But before I do so, I will question just who those best customers actually are. In my opinion, and it is MY opinion only, the best customers are NOT those with the most cards in their collection, but are the people that BUY the most cards at any given time or who are able to buy multiple cards at once.

The high collection holders are faithful customers that will buy one card every day, or will buy the newest card when it is released.

The best customers are those that buy multiple cards daily. They spend more money.

But this is not the point of the discussion. Unobtainable special event cards are the reason for this thread. In most cases, I do not have a problem with the special cards IF they are obtainable by following a clearly defined path - be that pre-ordering a month's cards, following timed steps such as last year's Black Friday special event card, or buying an 'advent calendar'.

I do have a problem with these cards being only available in a game of chance. That is just plain wrong, and that is an issue that needs to be addressed. I won't say how many scratch cards I paid for to NOT get this latest special event card.

@ComteDracula,

Et je vais arriver à mes propres conclusions.

Mais avant cela, je vais me demander qui sont ces meilleurs clients. Selon moi, et c’est uniquement mon opinion, les meilleurs clients ne sont PAS ceux qui ont le plus de cartes dans leur collection, mais ceux qui achètent le plus de cartes à la fois ou qui sont en mesure d’acheter plusieurs cartes à la fois.

Les grands détenteurs de collection sont des clients fidèles qui achèteront une carte tous les jours ou qui achètera la carte la plus récente lors de sa sortie.

Les meilleurs clients sont ceux qui achètent plusieurs cartes quotidiennement. Ils dépensent plus d'argent.

Mais ce n'est pas le sujet de la discussion. Les cartes d’événements spéciaux impossibles à obtenir sont la raison de ce fil de discussion. Dans la plupart des cas, les cartes spéciales ne me posent pas de problème SI elles peuvent être obtenues en suivant un chemin clairement défini - que vous commandiez à l'avance des cartes pour un mois, en suivant des étapes programmées telles que la carte d'événement spécial Black Friday de l'*****ée dernière, ou en achetant un 'calendrier de l'Avent'.

J'ai un problème avec ces cartes étant uniquement disponibles dans un jeu de hasard. C'est tout simplement faux, et c'est un problème qui doit être résolu. Je ne dirai pas combien de cartes à gratter que j'ai payées pour NE PAS obtenir cette dernière carte d'événement spécial.

@Chicsans ,

I'll let you come to your own conclusions, if Totem doesn't take into account the opinions of its best customers.

On the other hand, in my humble opinion, this gives a bad signal, which goes in the direction that Totem does not deserve our money.

New customers will eventually understand, too, after investing so much money.

This will not solve the frustrations to come with the release of new special event cards, under the same conditions where the purchase will be impossible.

And we will see another procession of people ***** about the existence of these cards, with no solution to be certain to acquire them in the end.

We need a clear signal that for many of us this situation is *****.


@Chicsans ,

Je vous laisse arriver à vos propres conclusions, si Totem ne tient pas compte de l'avis de ses meilleurs clients.

Par contre à mon humble avis, cela donne un mauvais signal, qui va dans la direction que Totem ne mérite pas notre argent.

Les nouveaux clients vont bien finir par comprendre eux aussi, après avoir investi autant d'argent.

Cela ne règlera en rien les frustrations à venir avec la sortie de nouvelles cartes évènements spéciaux, dans ces mêmes conditions où l'achat sera impossible.

Et on va voir encore un cortège de gens se plaindre de l'existence de ces cartes, avec aucune solution d'être certain de les acquérir au final.

Il faut un signal clair, que pour beaucoup d'entre nous, cette situation est inacceptable.

👍

If someone else wants the avatar ...

trained seals 😂

It is possible that for Totem a customer like me has been quite paid and that I would just be another lost customer, among so many others and that it does not matter to them, since other new customers will be added in the future? I hope I'm wrong.

Nicely written essay @ComteDracula. Unfortunately, the paragraph that I have quoted here is far too true. @Rex himself stated many years ago that 50% of their revenues comes from the newer customers, and the rest comes from the large collection holders. Those numbers may have changed since he wrote that back in 2012 in favour of the income from the new customers.

I am just putting my two cents, oh wait, I'm in Canada and there are no pennies, so I am putting my nickel in for support of your boycott before any of the trained seals in the readership declare that the silent majority of customer who do not participate in this forum are in unspoken favour of Totem's current practices.

@ComteDracula, The union is strong in these cases. Yesterday I expressed it and I joined the crusade ⛔"I DO NOT BUY MORE, UNTIL THIS CHANGES" ⛔

Keep us updated on any manager discussions

Well said @ComteDracula

And to show my support, I will no longer buy any card until you start buying again. So this embargo starts and ends with you !!

To those like me who want to be able to buy special event cards

Hello

It is very rare that I ***** or express my displeasure on this forum. In fact, I don't think I've ever done it before. It is not cheerfulness of heart that I do today.

It is Totem's policies regarding the possibility of buying at a higher price, for those who own the whole collection, that obliges me to do so.

Know that first I wrote a post, to denounce this situation to Céline.

I was refused a refusal to have this card purchased for the sake of fairness.

The problem is that true fairness would have been to allow everyone to be able to acquire Melena Tara Rya's card.

I do not know what it will take, to make totem understand, that they are wrong with their policy, which makes that with their games and contests (which by the way are not fun at all) , they can make spend a large sum, without being certai n to acquire these types of cards.

For my part, being a collector and preferring to buy (knowing in advance the price paid), rather than participating in hazard games, I am very frustrated by this way of doing things.

As I will probably never own this card. I have unfortunately stopped buying cards since Melena Tara Rya's card.

I have been asking for the intervention of the manager to resolve this conflict since Friday. No response from Celine.

If nothing changes, I will unfortunately have to stop shopping with Totem. It is not cheerfulness of heart that I will make this decision, but being customer and customer always being right, until proven otherwise, I will use the right that belongs to me as a buyer and consumer to make Totem understand reason.

I have 1600.35 credits left. I've bought for $5327.44 (Can) so far. And this with the extra cost for the exchange rate, because Canadian money is not worth much compared to the U.S. dollar or the Euro.

It is possible that for Totem a customer like me has been quite paid and that I would just be another lost customer, among so many others and that it does not matter to them, since other new customers will be added in the future? I hope I'm wrong.

In the hope that Totem will understand the message, by being loyal to its best customers, and finally allow the purchase of these special event cards. We don't ask for gifts. We just want to be able to own those cards.

Thank you for your attention.




À ceux qui comme moi veulent pouvoir acheter les cartes évènements spéciaux

Bonjour,

Il est très rare que je me plaint ou manifeste mon mécontentement sur ce forum. D'ailleurs je crois ne jamais l'avoir fait auparavant. Ce n'est pas de gaieté de coeur que je le fait aujourd'hui.

Ce sont les politiques de Totem concernant la possibilité d'acheter à un prix plus élevé, pour ceux qui possèdent toute la collection, qui m'y oblige.

Sachez que premièrement j'ai rédigé un billet, pour dénoncer cette situation auprès de Céline.

Je me suis heurté à un refus que cette carte puisse être acheté par soucis d'équité.

Le problème c'est que la vraie équité aurait été de permettre à tout le monde de pouvoir aquérir la carte de Melena Tara Rya.

Je ne sais pas ce que cela va prendre, pour faire comprendre à Totem, qu'ils font fausse route avec leur politique, qui fait qu'avec leur jeux et concours (qui en passant ne sont pas amusant du tout) , ils peuvent faire dépenser une forte somme, sans pour autant être certain d'aquérir ce genre de cartes.

Pour ma part, étant un collectionneur et préférant acheter (en sachant à l'avance le prix payé), plutôt que de participer à des jeux de hazard, je suis très frustré par cette façon de faire.

Comme je ne posséderai probablement jamais cette carte. J'ai malheureusement cessé depuis la carte de Melena Tara Rya d'acheter des cartes.

Cela fait depuis vendredi, que je demande l'intervention du manager pour résoudre ce conflit. Aucune réponse de Céline.

Si rien ne change, je vais malheureusement devoir cessé mes achats auprès de Totem. Ce n'est pas de gaieté de coeur que je vais prendre cette décision, mais étant client et le client ayant toujours raison, jusqu'à preuve du contraire, je vais utilisé le droit qui me revient en tant qu'acheteur et consommateur pour faire comprendre raison à Totem.

Il me reste 1600.35 crédits. J'ai acheté pour $5327.44 (Can) jusqu'à ce jour. Et ce avec le surcoût pour le taux de change, car l'argent canadien ne vaut pas grand chose comparativement au dollar américain ou l'Euro.

Il est possible que pour Totem un client comme moi a été assez payant et que je serait juste un autre client perdu, parmis tant d'autres et que ce n'est pas grave pour eux, vu que d'autres nouveaux client vont s'ajouter dans le futur ? J'espère me tromper.

Dans l'espoir que Totem va comprendre le message, en étant loyal envers ses meilleurs clients, et permettre enfin l'achat de ces cartes...

Something is wrong. Every time you quit iStripper that file should be rebuilt with a new create and modified date. Look at the create and modified dates for the models.lst file. The first 4 bits of the models.lst file is the version number in binary form. If you have a programming editor you might be able to inspect that.

By the way, which version of my Playlist Generator are you using?

If you want to try repairing the models.lst file:

1. Quit iStripper
2. Delete the models.lst file from your data folder
3. Open iStripper. It should recreate the models.lst file with the current version number.

I'm using Istripper and the dir I pointed the program to is the one I use on istripper.
I never redownloaded my cards, is that the reason why my folder is so outdated?
I don't get it though..I'm still buying new cards , even recently.

OMG! Are you still using VG? The models.lst file has a version number. Every time the format is revised the version number changes. When iStripper was released that version was changed from 278 to 280. Version 276 is about 4 years old.

A more realistic possibility is that you've pointed to a very old, obsolete copy of your data folder.

I receive an error when I try to load my models saying I have version 276 instead of 280. Can you help me out?

I had a few spins just to see what it was all about!
I got 30% off the cards which is great...but I had a double gain spin, there isnt a 15% available on the single spin so not sure i understand the game!
Bit of fun though.

@YeahRight21 If you are able to exchange a won SEC with another one please let us know

You can therefore imagine my surprise and frustration when I finally won a special event card—and instead of a choice (of this week's special event card),
I was randomly assigned a special event card from the past.
Had this potential outcome been clear, I wouldn't have played.
I thought this game was a way to win the special event card released this week, if one kept playing long enough—not a way to get randomly assigned a past special event card, despite repeated plays.I have not downloaded the special event card I was randomly assigned. I am hoping Totem will make this right.

@reeree52 and @All

can you even get special event cards in the slots?

Not in this version of the Slots.

In this version, a member with un-owned cards older than 45 days old.
Spins to win cards at a discount, and / or Credits.

Each Spin line will Have cards displayed and a Discount
you can Buy the cards Shown at that Discount.
You Must Click the BUY button.
Don't go to the store, you won't get the discount if you try to purchase them one by one in the store.
You have to use the BUY Button and Purchase all the cards on the line for the displayed Discount.

A line can also contain gold Leaf, 1 to 4 of them
The Number of them determines how many credits you win.

1 credit Spin = 1 x the win
2 Credit spins = 2 x the win

Members who don't have any un-Purchased cards older than 45 days old.
Can only Spin to win Credits.

How is the outcome NOT clear?
Wow...

can you even get special event cards in the slots?

Both, of course 💖💖

The.. only... possible... choice...

Both, of course 💖💖

@gilloul33
Bonjour et bienvenu sur iStripper. Ton historique montre que tu as acheté 2 fois 25 crédits, mais tu n'as téléchargé aucune carte avec ces crédits. Il faut aller dans le store, choisir une carte et cliquer sur l'icône Voir la fille nue pour télécharger son show.
Dans les réglages du logiciel (la petite roue dentée en haut à droite de la fenêtre) il faut activer toutes les catégories pour voir tous les types de show que tu télécharges.

@Jh24
Click on the "i" with a circle at the upper right of the windows. There you'll find a link for the customer service, click on it and log a ticket that explains what you want.

@Statz , Special event cards have a star under the logo in the top left of the card image. Select the 'other cards' on a girls page to see if she has any special event cards.

For the joker, if you trust what 'team members' write (which I don't) if you have won a joker card, a joker button will appear on the buy page in the store. You supposedly need to have 1.2.234 for this feature to be visible.

See the opening post of New: Joker card thread.

Ironically the online website will accept the special characters but the application will not.

That should be reported in Bug and Fixes section.

Hi everyone, how do you get in touch with the customer support quickly? I can't rebuild my card collection, and last time this happened it was because it was locked. Can anyone help?

Thanks

you can see it in your account history

I was just wondering. How do you know if you have won a Joker or Special Event casrd?

You win at least a discount on all the cards of the line.

Seems I missunderstood. Thought I could choose myself, but I get 4 cards I don't like.
Ok, 1 credit spent, now I know.

Also, unless fixed recently your password must be only letters or numbers but no special characters. Ironically the online website will accept the special characters but the application will not.

OMG Thank you so much. Having trouble with that for about two weeks now...
I changed my password several times, before trying to find a explanation on the forum.

won't play any "game"again...
84 chances ..840 credits for 1 show I wanted and a lot of old stuff i will delete to make rroom for shows I do want..
Saving the rest of my credits for shows I do want...
Have a great weekend Joker Winners...

I don't have any cards available, so I spun for Fun and Credits.
I planned on 100 credits...
I ended up winning about 100 credits during the spins, so I spun them too..
in all I spent about an hour winning, and loosing, till I had finally spun the last of the Original 100
Credits I dedicated to the Slot Machine.

10 bucks for an Hour of entertainment...
I might just do it again tomorrow..

nothing for me this week!😕

http://www.istripper.com/forum/thread/42837/1?post=632068

I'se thoughts that the 'slut' machine was a kinds of specials promotions ands shoulds be eligibles fors a joker's cards chances. That's howa I readed the openings post in this thread by @celine from Totem.

That's meanings to me's that's the slots games is not a specials enoughs of a promotions or that she lied in thats postings.

Melena is finally back, her first card back is XXX and anal...and it's a special event card that I have no way of getting because I missed the damned event...seriously what would be wrong with just letting us buy these cards, why put so many extra loops between us and the cards we want? Now I remember why I don't use this as much as I used to.

Does this happen with all clips or only certain types of clip? All cards or just some? What are your settings, particularly levels of eroticism? How are you selecting the clips? Are you using a playlist?

When I want to see a series of clips I generally create a playlist of just those clips. This seems to work for me.

if you have problems pls contact Roger Rabbit....eheheh

Bad idea. My cousin is busy porking Jessica.

Look at the number.
Example i27271259
That is member number 27,271,259
yes the 27 millionth, 2 hundred and 71 thousandth, 259th member.

It doesn't mean there are over 27 million ACTIVE members, but since starting VGHD, over 27 million Members have used or still use the product.

If only 10% of them are still active, that is still 2.7 million members

Over 27 million signups, that's HUGE !

It also includes free signups. People who signed up and are/ were happy with only the previews.
Active members with purchases is way lower than 10%, perhaps as low as 1%.

Select girl's clips.
Watch one clip.
Then some random other girl appears next every time.
So annoying. 😒

Yet another gambling game I'm not the slightest bit interested in.
I'll pass on this one.

so there could have been a possible 2 Milli members that participated 😶

when numbers like that are thrown around it really makes me question the validity of the SEC's & scratch game 😕

and even further thinking down the rabbit hole... are the odds of the scratch game better than we thought as opposed to try and win a coupon with millions of entries involved 😒

... no strings attached! :)

The event cards are a ***** for long time members and triple diamonds especially!

Stop those gaming and the event cards, even if you could not win them in the game like this weekend! Very dissapointing!

Speaking as a triple diamond member I have had no problem with any of the special event cards - I now own all of them and have not had to pay an exhorbitant amout to get any of them.

If only 10% of them are still active, that is still 2.7 million members

...with girls dancing for your robot overlords... :)
