This topic comes up every time. Some think it's good, others don't 😶.

For members who already have all the cards (except one or two special event cards), it is a slap in the face. Loyalty is only marginally rewarded. The "triple diamond status" is not very much with +4000 cards.

Why not buy "Special Event Cards" in the normal way? Money! Annoying, but it's just an economically oriented company. It is not wrong. But disappointing in this form. The possibility to buy tickets normally from "double" or "tripple" diamond status would certainly not be a leg break.

BUT you don't have to participate.

I reject any form of gambling, so for my part I do not participate 😐.

Pour ma part, je constate que lorsqu'on possède toutes les cartes, il n'y a pas vraiment d'avantage à participer à ces jeux.

C'est pour cela qu'il y a ces jeux avec la conséquences suivante,

La possibilité d'acquérir une carte joker est infime, comparativement aux crédits que l'on va dépenser dans l'espoir d'en gagner une.

Entièrement d'accord avec ce ci-dessous :)

C'est pourquoi je suggérai, comme d'autres personnes également l'ont demandé à Totem, la vente à plus gros prix, après un laps de temps, des cartes évènements spéciaux.

On a pu constater, que malgré des promesses évasives de Totem, nous en sommes toujours au même point. Avec les mêmes frustrations, des gens qui y participent.

C'est leur business.

Je pense qu'il faut être résilient à cela, car la nécessité de vouloir POSSEDER
toutes les cartes d'une miss peut se dominer, même si on a l'âme d'un
collectionneur. On peut déjà se satisfaire avec cette belle application au
concept unique qui fonctionne très bien...

No more gambling anymore: I'll put myself in "standby mode" and I will never spend a single one credit until the next cash back offer (maybe associated with reload bonus...)

(I've shared my experience just to earn the "Well Done" achievement....)

How about an achievement for the new Belka Special Event Card?

How to get it: You have to win the Belka SEC by Scratchcard at exactly 1.00 Odessa Time.


To Totem Team:

Dear Totem Team,

I would like to offer you my wife in exchange to the new Belka SEC. I´m pretty sure you won´t let her model, but she is very good in cleaning up, cooking and talking rubbish.

If you will not accept my offer I will send her to Paris by train, telling her that I baught her a beauty and wellness weekend at Paris, and send her to you. Believe me, you dont want that!

So it`s up to you now!

Regards

Jupp

Par contre, quand le plaisir se transforme le + souvent en frustration, parce que les gens n'aquièrent finalement pas ce qu'il désirent, cela devient comme une forme de "masochisme".

Pour ma part, je constate que lorsqu'on possède toutes les cartes, il n'y a pas vraiment d'avantage à participer à ces jeux.

La possibilité d'acquérir une carte joker est infime, comparativement aux crédits que l'on va dépenser dans l'espoir d'en gagner une.

De plus la meilleure façon d'être certain d'avoir des crédits de plus, est d'attendre l'achat de crédits avec des crédits bonus.

Il y a aussi la 4ème carte gratuite à l'achat de 3 cartes, qui est avantageux dans mon cas. Par contre je ne puis en avoir qu'une seule dans la semaine de cette promotion.

Pour le reste, c'est une perte d'argent assuré.

C'est pourquoi je suggérai, comme d'autres personnes également l'ont demandé à Totem, la vente à plus gros prix, après un laps de temps, des cartes évènements spéciaux.

Cela aurait permis, à ceux qui veulent jouer, de les posséder, peut-être plus rapidement avec la possibilité d'acquérir d'autres cartes (pas toujours à leur goût), et aux autres comme moi, qui possèdent toute la collection, d'avoir la possibilité d'acheter ces cartes à coût plus élevé.

On a pu constater, que malgré des promesses évasives de Totem, nous en sommes toujours au même point. Avec les mêmes frustrations, des gens qui y participent.

Don't bother, for now.
In french, it say to buy it at 23h20 GMT.
And some of us, like me, did buy it at exactly that.
23h20:00 GMT

Please stop with that stupid event cards, we pay to have an access to a content, not to be frustrated of can not buy it.

Comment ce fait-il qu'après que tant de gens perdent de l'argent à ces jeux, afin d'aquérir une carte évènement spécial, et que tant de personnes se plaignent de ne pas en avoir gagné une, que ces gens continuent de jouer ?

Il y aura toujours des gens pour jouer, le jeu associé à l'argent génére
de l'adrénaline face au risque de perdre, puis de la dopamine quand on
gagne. Il a été démontré que les joueurs jouent et rejouent uniquement
pour s'exposer au risque de perdre l'argent misé ! C'est cela qui les
rend en fait *****. Pour aller plus loin d'un point de vue général,
gagner n'est pas le but ultime car ils remisent en général leur gain.

J'écris cela car je ne suis pas convaincu que les gens jouent uniquement
pour emporter la carte trophée.

La possession d'une carte spéciale convoitée par un grand nombre
joue sur le marqueur chimique de position sociale chez bon nombre
d'humains qui tendent à se différencier des autres par leur style
vestimentaire, avoir une voiture plus belle que celle de son voisin,
une plus grande maison, une femme plus rayonnante and so on...

Les publicistes et chaines de télévisions utilisent tous les outils qui
agissent sur nos comportements gérés par notre inconscient, notre
fameux système autonome, alors pourquoi pas Istripper, ils viennent
en partie du monde du jeu vidéo, si ma mémoire ne me fait pas défaut.
JOUER pour eux, c'est très naturel voire même vital.

Je vous invite aussi à relire mes commentaires portés sur un post initié
par vous il y a quelques temps au sujet d'une autre miss à l'instar de
celle-ci.

Il y aura toujours des joueurs, comme il y aura toujours des gens pour
mater leurs danseuses, recherche de plaisir oblige...

Look at all the people reporting net gains of credits. They're people with full collections.

Could well be true - not really checked.

My hypothesis is this - due to how the flawed algorithm assigns 20 credits per card if you own all the cards (LOL - 3 Diamond members pay 13.75 per card) it seems that the win rate is high enough so that people with full collections can actually get ahead.

Not true.

i ended up 160 credits down by the time I won the SEC (273 scratch cards).

I was ahead at one point but that was because I won 100 credits very early on.

If it hadn't been for another 100 credit win and several 50 credit wins I would have been down far more than 160 credits.

@gkar45 for the 3:20 or 4:20 award I will wait more clarifications about the conditions to get it because I will not stay awake all nights to try it for sure 😳

this seems like a clear path to getting a # of SEC's ....hehehehehehehe. so what ya talkin about Wilis!!

Are you a happy bunny @gkar45?

The Belka card does not exist. It didn't exist till yesterday and it doesn't exist now. The Belka card does not exist, Scratch, scratch, scratch. The Belka card does not exist. I've lived all these years without it, so why....? Scratch, scratch, scratch. The Belka card does not exist. Bastards.

@pantalone - Irony?

😆

bonjour,

Le scratch game m'a bien été utile pour cette fois, je suis à jour de toutes les spéciales.

Cdt,

@HansSachs yes I agree it seems to become the norm and seems to push both newcomers and old members to spend more and more. But look around how some famous brands are pushing their customers to become ***** and spend more. People are camping in front of Apple stores two days ahead to BUY the latest iPhone. This long week-end there is the annual "May be the 4th" event for LEGO (famous brand of platic bricks) and believe me I read a forum of fans (AFOL they called theselves) and this is just a crazyness and indecent cashflow... just for plastic bricks reproducing Star Wars stuff.

@gkar45 very nice "row" indeed 😋

@Alkasyn I do not know about the algorithm and odds but for sure: people having all the cards have already spent a lot of money to buy them all (just compute how much you still have to spend to complete your own collection) and of course when playing those games we cannot "win" cards so instead we "win" nothing.

Nice Work now i am feeling even more older than before.

For all the rest of us this promotion is like the rest of scratch card-based ones - a waste of credits to get cards at a higher price that you'd normally not get at all.

Caveat emptor. I''m not participating in those.

It has been requested many times and by many members to have a clear path (which some others call "event") - that meaning: not a mere game of chance - in order to get a SEC; at least, during the week of each SEC's release.
It looks like, instead, not only 1 SEC is published every month, but also their association with games of chance is becoming the norm.

38 scratch cards in, I finally win a SEC, and it's not Belka's card, which frustrates me, as that was the only reason I was playing the game.

I appreciate the misunderstanding was mine, but it has soured me against this promo.

I think if the SEC card is being released with an Event.

Unfortunately the idea of there being some special event being associated with a SEC is now the exception rather than the rule (as it was when they were first introduced). I wish that Totem would return to releasing them primarily as a reward for participating in some special event rather than just as one of the prizes in an ordinary game. In my opinion the games should only be a secondary mechanism for obtaining these cards some time after the special event itself.

J'ai joué une fois à la machine à sous, je suis tombé sur des réductions, certes avantageuses, mais pour des cartes qui ne m'intéressaient absolument pas. Si au moins on avait l'assurance que les cartes proposées soient celles de notre liste de voeux, ça pourrait peut-être justifier ces jeux. Sinon, il serait effectivement bien de mettre une limite temporelle à ces cartes spéciales qui pourraient se transformer en cartes normales au bout de quelques mois ou *****ées.

I spent exactly 100 credits and scratched 30 cards.
Net income: 8 cards "won" (that I would never have bought), 5 medium quality, 2 standard and only 1 crystal clear, that in any case I would have to pay
only 68,75 credits.
No more gambling anymore: I'll put myself in "standby mode" and I will never spend a single one credit until the next cash back offer (maybe associated with reload bonus...)

Me as a member posting

I think if the SEC card is being released with an Event.
The when a members wins one, They Should

A. Be given their choice of SEC cards to add to their collection
or
B. The SEC cards should be given in Reverse Chronological order, so the Newest SEC card is added 1st.

a Random SEC card only adds to the Frustration the members are feeling...

The Belka card does not exist. It didn't exist till yesterday and it doesn't exist now. The Belka card does not exist, Scratch, scratch, scratch. The Belka card does not exist. I've lived all these years without it, so why....? Scratch, scratch, scratch. The Belka card does not exist. Bastards.

@Paintsnudes

I agree with you. Maybe it would be better to let us choose a card.

I won a Special Event Card at the Slot Mashine 2 weeks ago. I could choose which one of the specials I want. Why not here?

Honestly, this "Game" is just a rip off. I scratched 550 cards and while yes, from my count, I did win something from the majority of them. However, It's based on PURE luck and In my honest opinion, the game is rigged to screw you. I did win two SECs but not the one I was going for: (Belka).

I started to count how many losses I had a little after 250 cards, here are the results:

10 credits missed: 22
50 credits missed: 22
100 credits missed: 15
1 card missed: 23
Special Event Cards mised: 24 (Times I missed those cards in a row, 3 in a row, 3 in a row, and 2 in row) (I missed more times than there are ACTUAL Special Event Cards).

Total Missed: 106
Percentage (106 / 300) : 35.33% Loss

Now, some people might see that as not that bad, but it would get worse if I continue. I saw some people mentioning just paying a higher price for the card and I 100% agree with that. I will update the numbers if I continue.

Edit: My math was wrong, I corrected it now as I took 106 and divided it from 300 (The number of cards I scratched off after I started to keep count of the losses).

I spent about a hundred credits, and gave up frustrated, because all I got for my time and money was 3 cards I did not want, would not have bought at any price, and wish I could give back.

If Totem is going to make us jump through ridiculous hoops to get a card of our favorite girl (Belka), they at least, should give us the option of refusing random cards we don't want. I would rather have lost the credits than had those cards added to my collection.

Shiny foil (bronze, silver, gold) badges for achevements you can do more than once.
animated badges.

At willyweekly, think of it like this.. they have a card of your favorite stripper in your favorite outfit you've seen of her doing the things that you want to see her do.. and in order for them to let you have it they require you to eat their ***** and lick it all directly out of their assholes.

Thats what this is about.
I am not willing to pay that high of a price.
Belka looks awesome here. no question.

If I won tickets to the super bowl, I would sell the tickets. the moneyI could get for those tickets is more valuable than the game to me. others would go to the game.

for me... i speak only for me... it isn't worth it.

This is really about totem wanting to make money off of people without providing a service because said service is itself costly.

It is a big gamble for totem because getting money for nothing tends to make a company passive in expanding and developing their product. They might need to go the extra mile to get better talent, camera, props, lighting but instead just fall back on the fact they can make up any mistake with an SE card. One of the issues is their current talent pool is so weak that they literally only have one or two girls that could even constitute an SE card, with Belka being one...Jessika, Anathasia, Tanya, Isabele, Kristina, Jill would fail as SEs because it unlikely people would even play the game for their cards...as they are all flawed with poor quality, uninspired shows, or lack of nudity. The casting, and the performances themselves have been noticeably weaker since last year...maybe an late winter slump or it could be a portent of things to come.

Okay normally I dont have great luck with these games... but felt like playing... bought spent 40 credits just to see.... first open, lost, second opening SEC (WHAT?) 3rd open 10 credits, 4th open old card didnt have or want...

Okay shocked so I bought 4 more tries..
5th-lost but reward would have been SEC
6th-10 credits
7th-10 credits
8th SEC Are you kidding me????

Bought 4 more
9th-10 credits
10th-10 credits
11th- lost
12th- old card didnt have or want...

Stopped.... overall, still in shock.... the only thing that would have made this better is if the reload bonus was this week so I can add more credits.....

reload bonus also is great

Il y a quelquechose que je ne comprend pas, et j'aimerais que quelqu'un m'explique, surtout chez les personnes qui ne cessent de jouer aux machines à sous et autres cartes à gratter.

@Breat44, je ne vous vise pas personnellement ici, je veux le préciser.

Comment ce fait-il qu'après que tant de gens perdent de l'argent à ces jeux, afin d'aquérir une carte évènement spécial, et que tant de personnes se plaignent de ne pas en avoir gagné une, que ces gens continuent de jouer ?

Il y a plein de fil de discussions à ce sujet sur le forum.

Il est assez évident, comme dans tous les jeux de hasard, que le grand gagnant est celui qui l'organise et qui organise par le fait mème ceux qui y jouent.

Il me semble logique, que de continuer à jouer à ces jeux pour obtenir l'une de ces cartes, ne fait qu'encourager Totem à continuer dans cette voie.

Un petit conseil, si vous voulez qu'un jour (peut-être) Totem cesse la sortie des cartes évènements spéciaux, cessez de participer à ces jeux.

De toutes façon, nous avons pu constater que Totem, ne tiens aucunement compte de la frustration provoqué par la sortie des cartes évènements spéciaux, ne s'obtenant que par les jeux de hasard.

Thats what this is about.

On the previous scratch promotion, I lost 1200 credits. I was really angry as you can imagine. That’s over $100 down.

This time, I bought 400 cards (4000 credits worth), won the SEC and came out 200 credits up on my original balance. Of course, I didn’t buy the 400 cards all at once, I reinvested my winnings on each round, buying 5-10 cards each time.

What stood out most of all for me in both cases was that it’s boring. I really wish we could just pay extra for the SECs. They could still do gambling games for those who want to win, but as a Triple Diamond, I really just want to keep my 4500+ card collection complete.

Also the correct :00 second precision landing at 4:20 pm PST (= 5:20 pm PDT = 2:20 CEST) does not work. I just wanted to deliver it for the sake of completeness.

goddam special event cards ***** that ***** *spits*

612 Games, 119 Cards of which 4 are SEC including the Belka one as very last.

No more Credits on the Account but not the worst Scratch Game Result

Buy 500 cards in one day? Jeez

Haha How much would that cost? 😳

Since there was one girl, released this week, i didn't buy yet, i decide to wait for tonight....
and got the exact hour too .
It was just for the trill...to have the perfect time, even knowing it didn't work.
Still fun, and still love the achievements.

Not related, but i now have another "problem".
Beside the new cards released each week, i only have left to buy...
2 mediums quality cards, and...172 classics ones.
So, scratch games, to win a special card, like this week, is even less apealing than it was.
For peoples like us (with more than 4k cards), we should be able to simply buy jokers cards.

I remember some of those screens.

I quit and came back but have no clue how to "get it back"

Great walk down "mammory" lane

@JonnBGood Be that as it may, I have now played 217 scratch cards and as the smoke has cleared, I have now Belka's new Special Event Card + 110 credits more than when I started. I have never experienced this kind of odds in any of the previous promotions. Little by little my credit count has crept upwards this evening.

I guess that statistically I should just keep on playing :) BUT I'm not 100% convinced that the odds aren't adjusted during the run of this promotion, so I guess I'd better stop while being ahead...

So thats where my 400 credits went and after 150 scratch cards I got no special shows....
You guys have fun with this.... you would think the odds would be better so people would use up more credits but I guess im officialy done with all of their promotions where they give out Joker cards or Special event cards, never win any of them, so done chasing them and done playing the game...

You guys have at it!
Now what to do with these 28 cards I didnt want 😄

@HansSachs

As I remember the Showering animations were virtual..
they were so small I could not tell if they had running water or not..
But I believe them to have just been a virtual shower, using static props.

@HansSachs,

Yes, I can confirm that there were shower animations, but not many of them and there is no tag to identify them unfortunately

no badge either and got the right hour so its bugged.

I've given up and turned Autobuy back on. (Beta version 248).

Useful feature for me - saves at least two mouse clicks - probably a whole couple of minutes per year😉

no badge either and got the right hour so its bugged.

68 scratch cards, a lot of cards I'm not interested in, not one special card. If this continues I will stay with my actual collection n go.

As one who couldn't win any cards I was getting 20 credits when what I assume was a "card win" (completely blank prize circle) came up and I had a lot of them. Perhaps you should consider completing your collection😊

250 Scratch cards and no Nurse Belka.

Emptied my credits, played with reward credits until it was reduced below 10.

250. No Belka Event card.

I will just enjoy the cards I have in my collection. That's it.

It took me 271 attempts to get the Belka SEC,

Net spend was about 160 credits (much cheaper than some secs - I gave up with the Kaisa Nord SEC at 400 credits (although I did win it later). Other SECs have been averaging around 250 credits to win (for me).

Some people did it in much less - that is how "luck" works.

I could have used a Joker Card but I have bugger all to spend my money on at the moment.
