whats a snark?

https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/43909/the-hunting-of-the-snark

I hope that your future posts aren't deemed to be snarked. It sounds *****.

I 'won' 10 credits, but nothing showed up in my account... didn't take a screenshot so I suppose I lost my credits. How to make people really angry; 101.

It's no fun if all the bells and whistles are broken now is it?

Wise advice. Don't play. gambling should have stayed at the casino.

Already got her other cards. I also paid quite a bit more than 100 for this card and didn't get it. I generally stay away from gambling for this reason, but it just pisses me off so much that they are locking shows I want to see behind ridiculous mechanics designed to drain their customers of cash. Now I've got a crap ton of cards I didn't want, and am no closer to the one I do.

'

I understand how you feel. I think you should just go and make a playlist with all of her cards and enjoy it for a while. Remind yourself that everything that is in the this "special" card you have already seen. Totem is very smart for this promotion but they aren't evil. They just provided us a week of 20% off of reloads and 25% off of any card we wanted. This is gambling. The house always wins, and sometimes by quite a bit, you might "get away with it" but probability-wise you are going to be frustrated. There is some hope that this type of game will become illegal because it is a lootbox system but I doubt it since istripper only caters to adults.

PS. Totem also tends to release the 2nd card in a series pretty quickly if the 1st card was a special event. This is a nice thing to do because people are so curious about the new set and helps allay some frustrations. Peeps were MAD about red fox and then her second card came out in a few days and the fervor died down.

I would rather pay 3 or 4 times the regular price for a SEC card than gamble for it. I am a collector and buy all the cards available. Will hold on to my credits till end of year and buy what I can. I am done with the gambling schemes of Totem. I came here to buy a product not gamble for it. Imagine if the corner store had beer available and you could only get it with scratch offs like this. Everyone would go somewhere else to get their beer. This is where my mindset is now. Think its time to move on to something else. I ***** to say that as I very much enjoy this product, but this gambling garbage does nothing but make me mad. As others have stated I don't mind things like the December event to buy the pack and get the special card. I can live with that just not gambling.

Thankies! 💖

Tried my "luck" again, still @#$@$@! by Totem.

275 Tickets
only 16 times did the SEC appear on a ticket, 2 S everytime
Spent a bit over 500 credits, so $50ish USD, 44 Euros, still did not get either of the 2 cards I wanted. I'm an incredibly good customer of Totem, my collection speaks to that and I buy every card that I really want, so all of the cards that I "won" are worthless to me.

This type of contest is as I said in my first post, incredibly disrepectful to the customer. No grocery store, shop, restaurant could ever get away with this type of deal/sale. This isn't even the same as gambling, because the only reason anyone is playing this game is to get one of 2 things: the SEC cards, which can't be acquired in any other way; or a cheap way of filling up their collection, which by the numbers this is a bit more expensive than the special deals/packs that are normally run. In a casino, you are literally just trying to win back money, that's not even possible in this case, as you receive back credits instead of cash.

At 30 tickets, winning 9 cards and 150 credits, I dare say the Scratch Card game is already more expensive than buying cards at their regular price (13.75 credits) for me. It's not for lack of cards I still miss from my collection, I reached triple diamond only last month and still have more than half the collection to go.

Strangely, the previous time we had scratchcards, I didn't get any 2-symbol tickets. This time, I had 6 of em..

YAY!!!!! ❤️💜💛💚💙

That's all I wanted to say 😋

Did you buy an actual lottery ticket yet? ;)

Yes, but there I'm not that lucky 😆

... well lucky you! Did you buy an actual lottery ticket yet? ;)

Now I played 26 times and won Melenas Special card, 2 random cards and all my credits back.
So I paid nothing and have three cards more than before.

Essentially being a smartass

Hey since I can get banned for my "tone" (Wyldanimals terms not mine) towards another member even if they gave me a similar tone first (See my exchange in the special event topic in the platinum section with MuttonJeff) how about you go ahead and watch your tone? If you have a job to do, then do it but I'll be damn watching the mods here to continue to act like hypocrites breaking some of these so called violotions while making similar ones themselves. Which I might add this wasn't the first you or some others have done. Thanks :)

And yes I will let everyone here know I was banned following a warning for using the F word (still dumb cause we are all adults here) cause of some ***** snark I showed towards another member who was giving snark to both me and another member, and I think it's because of all the heavy criticism I gave this "Exclusive Card" business considering Wyldanimal out right admitted they decided to look through all my past post and ban me for my overall conduct

Well Guys, 258 attempts later, i got it...

This event is not fun and feels like a money dump, please can we not have this type of event again?

Totally understand member's choice of words were harsh..and as a Mod you have a job to do, but what was stated is exactly how a lot of card buyers here are feeling myself included even though I did not participate in this scratch game, I'll get over it like I have been and move on. Just sayin

I repeat it once more: Stop those event cards and games!

It is useless to say: I always said that I don't like games and the event cards! As a long time sampler and a triple diamond you cannot get any card that you want and there is no chance to buy the missing event cards of the favorite models in your collection. I don't like this policy and the complaints this weekend are showing that games and event cards are a mistake, especially if totem is interested in the loyal samplers (triple diamond members)!

@Donatien

You actually appear to have bought a ticket.

first screenshot shows how the desktop looks without a ticket - with the buy button.

That appears to be a actual scratchcard showing on your desktop.

Second screenshot shows the desktop after you have bought a scratchcard. This looks exactly like your screenshot.

Try left clicking your mouse button and running the mouse over one of the small circles (Screenshot 3). If it the circle disappears leaving a symbol then you need to scratch off the other circles and the central prize circle.

Once you have done this you will either win or lose and the ticket will disappear.

You should then be able to see the buy button. It is not visible whilst there is a ticket on the screen.

HTH

Edit

@Donatien

Just had a closer look at your screentshot. Just above the scratchcard and to the right it says ticket 1 of 5. So it looks like you have purchased scratchcards.

I'm not sure because I only bought mine one at a a time but I am guessing you will need to play all 5 before the buy button returns.

Triple digit $$$ sinks.

Y'all a joke. No one to blame but yourselves. Don't blame the system.

No sympathies from me.

And to the guy on page 5 saying it's not gambling.... it is.

Really sad to see the bullshit Surprise Mechanics disease spreading from the ***** mobile game industry, to desktop and consoles and now to my favourite stripper app.

Cheers @ckvghduser for your wise words. I was the same every time this thing appeared. 1st time I played, got 1 card I didn't want then thought "why am I even playing?!" and just stopped. Hadn't played since neither.
This time I set a 150 credit limit, guess I was tempted by the new card and the Joker thing.
Fool me twice...
Lesson learnt! 😜

I just rebooted my system then, having quit and then reactivated iStripper, for about 0.5 of a second I saw a window inviting me topurchase more tickets, only for it to be immediately replaced by the the screen image I have already posted above. Perhaps in view of other members frustrations with expenses frutlessly incurred I should count my failure to be able to purchase tickets as the lesser of two evils. :-)

Totem, you really need to answer the customer complaints about the actual basis for this, instead of ignoring them and only replying to technical questions.

Well 2 things...

IStripper is a great programm and i have so many ideas to make it even better, if anybody is interested.

But wheres the deal in this special event cards, i would rather just pay 100 Credits to get the RED FOX CARD. Its the fact playing stupid scratch games, just let me buy the SEC for a more expensive price.

Sorry @arise77. All you can do is consider it a lesson learned. I played one of these contests a long time ago here and, like you, didn't do well. I haven't played since.

Ummm... is this a joke? ✌😆❤️

2nd try was't bad got a "XXX" card so def worth a try yet all depends on u. Trust me I thought it was whack at 1st lost 10 credits gained nothing what so ever... I did happen to ***** about it yet didn't get a reply yet as expected they are trying to make a profit no deal with a bunch of grown men buying naughty ladies that are trying to make life I won't judge consider there is no point to it what so ever.

You do you & honestly don't care for a reply I'm way to busy half the time anyways. HooRa!

2nd time I play this scratch game, hoping to get a special card.
Got 47 tickets, down by 150 credits. Got 16 cards I didn't want and no special card.
Is there a way to give back all these unwanted cards? This game sucks. Why not at least give the option to add these cards or not?

I lost 150 credits, which is not much; but more than that, it just wasn't worth it, it's not fun, in the end you just feel like you've been played.

Starting to really ***** these Special Event Cards, they're fine if you get them from pre-purchasing a month or something like that. But when the Ginebra card was a scratch ticket game, I had super bad luck and spent a lot of money and never won it. Currently on this, 80 scratchers in and down about 200cr so far, no Special Event Card yet. Now there are 2 SEC that I want, even I win one of those jokers, will still only have 1 of them.

Totem really needs to stop this crap. It's incredibly disrepectful to us, the customers.

On another note i forgot to mentiopn in the previous comment is that the bare minimum should be cards in 1080 res because we are spending our hard earned cash on this it does us no good to get cards from 2009 and have not aged well.

THIS. THIS is exactly what's needed. Level up your membership for special priveleges that let you AVOID having to play the games.

I totally agree.

still crap.
just price the damn card somewhat higher and buy it with credits.

I'm really sick of these games. Just let me buy the darn joker and quit with the scratch offs and slot machines. ***** 10 of my last 20 credits on this junk. Now I have to re-up to buy any more cards, at least I HAD enough to get one more and Totem just took that away from me. Any Diamond or higher level member should be able to buy any of those "special event" cards anyway. I been on here since it was called Virtua Girl, but that counts for nothing apparently...
THIS. THIS is exactly what's needed. Level up your membership for special priveleges that let you AVOID having to play the games.

This would give Totem what they really want. The more loyal the member, the less they have to dick about with stupid games. Just let me buy the cards already.

If I'm not levelled up, I can play the game to win - as it's likely worth more to me then anyway, since my collection is smaller.

Once you have a large collection, unlock the buy ability with the usual price (or even a slight premium, I don't mind).

Anything but having to play tedious games just to complete my collection.

I agree with that totally! I like the idea of the joker cards too for people wanting a missing event card, but how about linking it to a credit reload bonus instead? rather than bonus credits, reload 250 or 500 credits and recieve 1 joker card limited to one purchase per customer? Surely thats a agreeable win win for everyone, Totem get loyal customers to purchase more credits and collectors don't feel like they have to 'waste' credits on nothing. What does everyone think?

this is crap

Wyldanimal. This shows the bottom border of what I see on my computer despite twice quiting iStripper and reinstalling it. The lower part of the full image which on your top right hand image is slightly darker is missing. This means I see no window inviting me to buy a ticket. How Can I resolve this problem?

The gambling idea is a bit screwed up because a lot of people are going to miss out on a card by their favorite model because someones wise idea was to inviolve gambling i did try to win Melena in thios game but it really is stupid to inviolve gambling for our favorite models that we want to see.

I finally won the missing two special card I wanted but when trying to download it failed saiying download *****!?!?

Forget that!!! My external drive was off... stupid me :(

That's worse than the freakin' 'Fansign' contest!

You have to pay to play in a game to not win the prize. At least in the 'Fansign' contest, the user doesn't have to pay anything to not win it.

We have released a new reward for those who participate to our promotions! Named "Joker cards".

What's the concept?
A joker card is a voucher that you can exchange for any card of the store including the Special event cards.

How to win a Joker card ?
Joker cards are to be won during special games & promotions

How to use your joker card(s) ?
If you own a Joker Card, a button "Use my joker card" will appear : near the "Get her nude" button of any card from the Store near the "Special event card" stamp on any exclusive card not in your collection.
You can keep your joker card(s) forever, they have no time limitation.

You need to have at least version 1.2.234 (1.2.235 for Mac), to see & use your joker cards.

“50 winners guaranteed” means that only 50 Joker cards or at least 50 Joker cards？

It's disappointing to see Totem join the "Surprise Mechanics" bandwagon, especially as lawmakers in both the EU and the US are on the cusp of outlawing the practice in the gaming industry for its clear predatory intent. Totem, you can profit on the quality of your product without exploiting the poor impulse control of those prone to gambling. I would urge you to avoid going down that road.

No OnE sHoUlD gRiPe AbOuT mOnEy. The ***** you smokin' mate,? They made it more expensive with this "Special Cards plus Gambling" bullshit. I've gone over a thousand scratches, still don't have this event card. I probably won't be using their ***** anymore, this is some goddamned motherfucking bullshit, and they fucking know it.
Melena has 18 other cards. And she has 5 others coming. She will have a total of 23 cards that you could have for $31. You spent $100 just to get one extra card where she has rollerblades which will no doubt restrict her performance and movement. Why did you gamble for such a thing? Now I would get it if it was Kendra Sunderland and it was her first but dayum...paying $100+ for one card when you have 23+ for 3x less.

Already got her other cards. I also paid quite a bit more than 100 for this card and didn't get it. I generally stay away from gambling for this reason, but it just pisses me off so much that they are locking shows I want to see behind ridiculous mechanics designed to drain their customers of cash.

Sadly the fact people already spent what seems like 100s of dollars (least I assume when people say they tried 100 times I assume that they indeed droped 1000 credits on this) to get this card shows it is a successful for those who really want her bad enough. I can't really talk crap because again I did the same thing with Ginebra and I shudder to think about one of my favorites being locked behind this same gimmick. Sadly money talks and as long as we can't control our compulsions and just say no, they are defo gonna do this again.

No one should gripe about money. A typical Porn site costs $99.00 a year. This place is way more expensive if you actually participate in buying cards.

Totem has their fingers in other things besides this, so if this place goes belly up they won't *****.
They have a game called vr Paradise on steam I'm gonna try. It's about strippers in a night club, go figure.
It's just been updated. There is another called idancer I'm gonna try.

well, for me I "won" 50 credits (not added) and a "Special Event" card, again not added. Not Happy- I am GRUMPY now, fer sure!

Tragedy and comedy united together at last... :/
