I think ambiguity helps.

It doesn't help the sales,
It doesn't help the product,


But boy these message boards would be rather dull if things were spelled out in big bold letters.



On a serious note, for all of these little concerns, we are going to end up with a promotion that has a seven page lawyer inscribed sheet that will require a signature and notary stamp to participate.

this is a solution and it (mostly) already exsists... read the details before purchase:
Cover page= big picture of the deal (mystery envelope has five cards..... etc.)
foot note = main details with a link (what if for the five main problems)
link = a list of all the little details so no one gets *****. (this is currently the message board post that will answer specific questions)

"if you own all the shows yet"

I am sure the misleading was unintentional.

Totem should know to check their English grammar with a translator or something.

Automated translators still are quite unreliable. Using one might even worsen the problems...

I will check with our Marketing Team if it can be modified.

@Manue

Then why not make it clear in the rules / help page, that "the shows within this offer" are only consisted of those shows that are 30 / 45 days or more old? This is relevant information to be given and should be a disclaimer for everyone to see.

Most of us forum users know this already out of experience, but still it should be made clear IMHO.

All the cards in our Store are not available in this offer. Would this message make it clearer for you ? "if you have already purchased all the shows within this offer, the envelope will contain 5 scratch cards" Let me know : )

It is also why I asked about waiting until Monday in Celine's thread since i lacked only four cards....

It says, "If you have less than five cards available to purchase".

That definitely translates to "as long as you you lack more than five of any cards you may participate" for the average English speaker.

Again, the promo seems intentionally misleading as DarkThoughts lacked at least a dozen shows.

"if you have already purchased all the shows within this offer, the envelope will contain 5 scratch cards"

No help there, Wyld. It is a lie, in fact. Darkthoughts lacked like 16 cards. It is also why I asked for clarification in the Q&A thread.

@Wyldanimal

But this is still misleading, isn't it? What I don't understand is that they never disclose that you can't win cards that are newer than 30 days or 45 days (or whatever the limit was). I suppose it is the same thing now, because I have not yet bought the six latest cards, and when I tested with this mystery envolope, I only got 5 scratch cards.

Why can't they make it transparent, like (last line on your second image)...

"Note: if you own all the cards that are at least 45 days old..."

... instead of

"Note: if you own all the cards..."

Hahaha, no way Willyweekly, It just wakes me up and more active on this forum.

Annoying I cannot edit the post :P
I misread your post. Indeed should not stop ***** :D

always read the Help ? on the event page.

No but without kidding.
This achievement will be unlocked when you buy a card on April 20.
"April 20 has become an international counterculture holiday, where people gather to celebrate and consume cannabis. Many such events have a political nature to them, advocating the liberalization / legalization of cannabis. Vivian McPeak, a founder of Seattle's Hempfest states that 4/20 is "half celebration and half call to action". Paul Birch calls it a global movement and suggests that one cannot stop events like these.
On that day many ***** users protest in civil disobedience by gathering in public to smoke at 4:20 pm."

(Source: wikipedia)
So I stop saving cards and buy them all, let's see next year :-)

Personally, If I can't read the screen, I open up the page that will give me the details so I know what I am getting. (unless I have been drinking.)

I do love my beer!

Seriously, by now Totem should know to check their English grammar with a translator or something. There's really no excuse.

And it should make sense, or you will get unsatisfied, misled, buyers.

@lukaszr

On some screens it is harder to read than yours. Just saying, I could read it, but it was difficult.
Any print should be readable or you will get complaints.

I recently got a free DVD with a purchase from a seller on adultdvdmarketplace. The cover read "What Women Want's" (yes w/ the apostrophe AND incorrect conjugation), but when I opened the case the disc read "What A Women Want"

It's kinda like that...

"if you own all the shows yet"

How can that mean anything other than "if you have a full collection"?

Let's not pretend that page is not *****, shall we? I, too, thought it meant that maybe Totem was including recent shows in the promotion, as long as you lacked at least five.

The wording is not only ambiguous, it is misleading! Intentionally? I ***** to say it, but I begin to think these misleading ads are intentionally so worded. That's why I've taken to asking for clarification on the boards.

checked your link, zz, and this classic was in my related videos - another timeless classic:

Everyone should stop trying to win the 4:20 award till 4/20/2021 at 4:20 PM ?
time zone. It may be fixed by then.

Stop trying: yes,
but surely, we should continue to ***** as well!!!

love the one you're with.

What is the way?

Love is the way Humans should go 😉

Thanks, I would have known had I looked at your profile. I didn't remember her being that hot. I'll have to go grab her photo set from the classic card.

He doesn't own all of the shows, lukaszr
Totem needs to be more forthcoming about how many shows are not included in the mystery envelope offer...

Because everybody has $5 bills to toss to the wind...

Never mind, just saw DarkThought's thread. In other words, give us 50 credits and we might give you 10 or 20 back....

It is written.
Read the instructions instead of mindlessly clicking.

I have 4 non-SEC cards not in my collection. So if I wait until Monday, I will get the 5 cards I lack plus a scratchoff, or do I still have to pay 10 additional credits per card for the 5 not in my collection?

@HansSachs Corrected : ) Thank you

❤️❤️❤️This is the way

What is the way?

Hello, Sorry about the *****. You unfortunately can't purchase the mystery envelopes containing cards as you own almost all the full shows. You can still win extra credits with our fantastic scratch card offer.

@celine
Your TGIF post has an error, probably due to copy/paste. It says

Scratch Game Rules :

Scratch the circle : if you get 3 "S", you win the prize indicated in the centered circle. You can win:
10 credits
50 credits
100 credits
1 Free card (randomly picked from the cards you don't own yet)
One of the special event cards, including Eva Elfie / Cuddling Up released today!

Eva's special card was released almost 3 months ago, instead... please correct the post.
Have a good day!

To Triple Diamonds members : "ATTENTION PLEASE: to all of you who can't purchase Mystery Envelopes because you already own all the available shows : for you the envelopes are at 50 credits and contains 5 scratch games !"

I have bought several envelopes. On 3, possibly 4, times the first card in an envelope was displayed as if it had already been scratched. After a few unsuccessful attempts to clear it I tried scratching at the apparently already fully scratched card, and this worked giving me my reward and a new card to scratch - so i did not lose anything.

I think this is simply a problem in displaying the cards, but it will ***** people and may result in others thinking that they are totally blocked from scratching cards that they have purchased.

❤️❤️❤️This is the way

we're here to help :)

Technically you "buy" the game admission, not the (possible) prizes - though

Just opened my mystery envelope expecting 5 cards. Instead I lost my money on scratch cards. WTF?!
I consider this a very poor deal.

Sure, afterwards I read that for near-full collections you get these stupid gambling games instead of cards, but Totem should display that text in big bold letters, so it's hard to miss.

I certainly prefer the previous solution of not being able to spend my money on mystery enveloppes when there are no cards to gain.

Other than that Totem could reconsider blocking recent cards from TGIF-deals. There are still normal cards in the store and there of course the highly unobtainable special edition cards you could provide as alternative for nearly full collections. I think 50 credits for a SEC might be acceptable to a lot of users, though I personally think that's still rather overpriced.
