"Best seller" is a well known and very common english idiom which means best sold item.

Best seller by number of cards sold? Or by revenue earned? Or by profitability? And, as @TheEmu says, is it adjusted for the time the card was on sale? And do we believe the figure, or might it be manipulated to boost sales of specific cards? It's probably just the raw number sold, but it's mostly pretty meaningless.

Bien triste pour ma petite Yukki, sortie le 31 Décembre 😪. Les achats automatiques et ceux des collectionneurs seront comptabilisés en 2021 et tous les autres en 2022. Peu de chance de renter dans le top 😊

Bien que Christy White sortie le même jour semble prendre la première place de ce classement 😧

Very sad for my little Yukki, released on December 31 😪. Automatic purchases and those of collectors will be counted in 2021 and all the others in 2022. Little chance of entering the top 😊

Petite question quand on choisis une carte (par exemple celle de Paola Hard) on achete la carte et en plus on a un jeux à gratter c'est ca ?

"Best seller" is a well known and very common English idiom which means best sold item.

It is a well known term - but one without any well known definition (quite a common feature for terms used for marketng purposes). Just what does "best selling book" mean ? If we took the name of this forum literally as meaning the cards that sold the most during the year then a card put on sale in December would have little or no chance of being a best seller for that year (but might be one for the next year except that it is ruled out because it was released too early to qualify for that year).

I can remember a case where a record (Stranger On the Shore by Acker Bilk) outsold all others in the charts over two years but was not one of the best sellers for either year because it was released in October 1961.

"Best seller" is a well known and very common english idiom which means best sold item.

So, there's no mistake in this thread's name...

As with @Dorsai6 's Playlist Generator this Downloader provides very useful functionality that should, in my opinion, be provided by iStripper itself.

I would love to see iStripper have the ability to automatically download the photosets and bonus videos when downloading a card. Furthermore it would be very convenient if when doing this it did so to locations known to the program itself so that, for example, it could provide a slideshow from the card's photoset as a background when playing that card.

I use now and it works. The problem is that all the images are together. It takes a little effort to get them arranged on folders. The problem is that once they are in folders, it will no longer be possible to check with the app which files you have downloaded and which you didn't.
I must remember the number of the girl, not the name of the girl. 😜
Is possible that the video files to have the same name? What if...?

Gotcha... so it really has nothing to do with winning the girl you picks card at all then? its just pick a person and see how you do basically (no different then the other scratch off games...played the same way....)

Finalement ce sont avec des vendeuses et non avec des danseuses, avec qui nous avons affaire sur ce site ?

Eh bien j'en apprend à tous les jours avec iStripper.

En tous les cas, plusieurs de nos vendeuses, dansent bien.

En plus elles se montrent très ouvertes à nous vendre du rêve. 😊


Finally it's saleswomen and not dancers we're dealing with on this site?

Well, I'm learning every day with iStripper.

In any case, many of our dancers dance well.

And they are very open to selling us the dream. 😊

Hi @lukaszr, this is a great tool. I really like the option to create subfolders for the videos of each model. Is there any way for you to also be able to put the images in subfolders for each model? I don't know if this is possible, but it would be a great enhancement.

The option to download by .vpl file is also an excellent feature.

Thanks for all of your great work!

Alors comme le sujet de ce fil, ce sont les meilleurs vendeurs 2021 et non les meilleurs ventes, j'aimerais bien savoir ce que vend ou devrait vendre une carte.

😀👍

Alors comme le sujet de ce fil, ce sont les meilleurs vendeurs 2021 et non les meilleurs ventes, j'aimerais bien savoir ce que vend ou devrait vendre une carte.

Mais comment diantre 😲 tu fais pour les trouver?

Haha, je suis une fouine

Pas de SECs dans les best sellers 2021?

Probablement parce que les SEc ne peuvent être achetées et comme il s'agit d'un classement des meilleures ventes😐

But how the hell 😲 do you find them?

Haha, I'm a weasel

No SECs in the 2021 bestsellers?

Probably because SEcs can't be bought and because it's a ranking of the best sales😐

Pas de SECs dans les best sellers 2021?

En ce qui concerne les proposition de modèles, nous savons ce que cela donne comme résultat. Je me dirige donc vers d'autres sites pour trouver mon bonheur et dépense moins ici.

Quoi! D'autres sites! Mais comment diantre 😲 tu fais pour les trouver? iStripper n'a pas de concurrence.

So I go to other sites to find my happiness ...

I'll stop here 😉

Me too 👍

@wrightsayswow
Je disais cela d'une façon humoristique bien sûr, car cela est évident maintenant que cela n'est pas le choix de totem. En ce qui concerne les proposition de modèles, nous savons ce que cela donne comme résultat. Je me dirige donc vers d'autres sites pour trouver mon bonheur et dépense moins ici. Voila le résultat insignifiant pour totem, bien sûr. Ils gagnent peut-être plus comme cela s'ils ne vendent pas beaucoup de ce type de cartes?
Désolé, un peu hors sujet, je m'arrête ici 😉
@wrightsayswow
I said this in a humorous way of course, because it is obvious now that this is not the choice of totem. As far as model proposals are concerned, we know what that gives as a result. So I go to other sites to find my happiness and spend less here. Here is the insignificant result for totem, of course. Maybe they earn more like this if they don't sell a lot of this type of cards?
Sorry, a little off topic, I'll stop here 😉

note that there is no black girl in this ranking!

@Philours I cannot recall many being suggested here or on Discord. I'm working from memory here, I have not just checked, so I could be wrong. If you know some tell the Totem team. May be they have tried to find some. We never really know until they turn up in the studio or in the store.

J'en ai 13 sur les 20 premières. Achetées ou reçues en jouant. N'oubliez pas le calendrier de l'Avent, très populaire qui vous en donne déjà de ce top 20. Alors XXX ou pas, Cosplay ou pas, achetez ce que vous aimer, le reste n'a pas d'importance. Enfin notons qu'il n'y a aucune fille black dans ce classement! Et ça c'est grave!😀😀
I have 13 of the first 20. Purchased or received while playing. Don't forget the very popular Advent calendar which already gives you some of this top 20. So XXX or not, Cosplay or not, buy what you like, the rest doesn't matter. Finally note that there is no black girl in this ranking! And that's serious!😀😀

I'm not sure about the comments regarding the amount of cosplay outfits in the top 20 - by my count there were only the three erotic parodies - which is how Totem defines the cosplay.

So many cosplays / nonsensical costumes... The world is doomed!

So I choose to believe that cosplays / nonsensical outfits are NOT the most popular shows, otherwise my mind will break 😆

@aaron19322 Hi 😎

Visiblement les opérations avec ces moyens de paiement sont aussi supendus sur le territoire russe et pas seulement à l'étranger. En fait je ne me fiais pas à ce qu'avait écrit @celine. Il me semble que la Russie se tourne à présent vers les cartes chinoises "UnionPay" pour parer à tout ceci.

@Sexy3DBoy
En relisant ce que @celine a écrit, on voit que les cartes ne peuvent pas être utilisées à l'extérieur du pays. On peut donc supposer que les russes peuvent les utiliser en Russie pour y acheter des bitcoins russes.

Pour acheter des BTC il faut bien passer aussi par un de ces modes de paiement. Non?

I just downloaded but when I unzip it, Norton say Batbox.exe is unsafe and automatically deletes it

The answer is here:
https://www.isworkshop.eu/index.php?p=bonus_downloader_bugs#bug_001

What if this can steal the account's information?

The script uses a user name (login) and user ID to connect to the iStripper server. Without it, it would not be possible to download any files, because it would not be possible to determine if the user has the right to download anything. This is exactly the same method that iStripper app uses.
The login and user ID are read from Windows registry. This data is saved temporarily in header.txt file, in the "temp" folder (a folder created automatically in script's install directory). The txt file is created before each new file is downloaded, then it is immediately deleted.
The login and user ID are not sent anywhere except the iStripper server.

The script has open code. Most files can be opened in Notepad. You can open it and investigate to see what's hidden under the hood.

Anyway, as @muttonjeff wrote, using the Downloader is by your choice.

@HansSachs

On the contrary, it has a lot do with this ranking (or more particularly with how we interpret it) because we do not know how the "best sellers" are determined. If they are based on short term initial sales then they are like the "hit parade" and may not reflect the long term sales whereas if they are based on total sales during the year then a bias towards the cards that were released towards the start of the year would be expected.

The relevance of Simpson's Paradox is that the trends shown in whatever (in this case unknown) sub-groups are used to determine the "best sellers" may not reflect the overall trend - I think they probably do but the data we have been provided with does not rule out the possibility that opposite is true.

A nice example of this used to be seen in record sales where, despite never appearing in the "hit parade", the best selling records in a year tended to be of classical music or "easy listening".

Which has nothing to do with this ranking, I think.
That paradox was probably generated by fact hit parades were based on weeks or very short periods, and trends about pop do change - as everyone knows - estremly quickly, while a classical musical release was more likely to get lower but more stable sellings during the year.
But, in this case, we precisely have the "long selling" ranking, which looks to totally confirm that, in recent times, XXX released are globally the most sought of - even if, at time of this ranking, they were not yet at all the majority among 2021 releases.

When this happens, the overall trend might even appear to be the opposite of the trends in each group.

I can get what you point, but I don't find so relevant here. I mean, it can be also said that if - for exemple - "ordinary" card lovers would start to buy less XXX cards, but the sales of such cards would still continue to grow (which might already be the case), company would not be likely to reduce the number of XXX releases anyway - since they will almost certainly tend to take more in account global sales than the preferences of a single group of users. So, the overall trend is quite likely to be one which counts the more here.

Best selling cards come from whatever most people find desirable.

Correct - but it does not follow from that if the best selling cards all come from the same category then that category is what most people find desirable. A simple example is often seen in elections Consider an election in which there are three candidates, A, B and C where A and B appeal equally to the same set of people and candiate C appeals to all others. In this case a three way election might result in C winning in a 30-30-40 split but in two way elections against either A or B candidate C would loose with a 60-40 split.

There is also Simpson’s paradox where trends that appear within different groups disappear when data for those groups are combined. When this happens, the overall trend might even appear to be the opposite of the trends in each group.

Interpreting the numbers is not as straight forward a matter as many people would like to think.

This also complicated because we do not know how "best selling" is determined. A nice example of this used to be seen in record sales where, despite never appearing in the "hit parade", the best selling records in a year tended to be of classical music or "easy listening".

Visa and Mastercard announced on Saturday that they would suspend operations in Russia.

"Any transactions made with Visa cards issued in Russia will no longer work outside the country", Visa said in a statement.

Same for Paypal.

The Totem Team

Thanks for the nice words!
I've forwarded your suggestion to the casting team :)

The SEC bonus box makes you win any SEC, not the one related to the model chosen on the scratch.
These 12 Talents of the month games are here to chose your lucky charm, the one that will give you the best luck to win credits, cards and SECs

Hope it clears up things :)

Anyone?

I did get your point and so it was not your post I was referring too, @TheEmu .

It's a fact that most successful cards of 2021 were XXX and also a fact that on 2021 XXX shows were quite far to be the most released yet... so it's not true that best selling card come from most common variety. Best selling cards come from whatever most people find desirable.

@HansSachs

If you are referring to my post then I should point out that I was not suggesting in any way that the XXX cards were not the most popular (and explicitly stated that I thought that they were). The example i gave was to show that the obvious conclusions are not always correct and was triggered by the post before mine that argued that best selling cards would automatically tend to come from the most common variety. There is some truth in that view but, like the example i gave it is not something that can be assumed - though in the case of the iStripper XXX and non-XXX I suspect it is in fact true. The fact you refer to is I think quite strong evidence, but it is not hard proof.

Anna Delos - Stunner Denim - e1725 - iStripper
Mina Von D - Cutest In Specs - f1015 - iStripper XXX
Nikki Hill - Suck & Munch - f0976 - iStripper XXX
Eva Brown - Flowers In The Night - f0987 - iStripper XXX
Lili Charmelle - Let The Charm Work - f0963 - iStripper XXX
Sylvia Buntarka - Blonde On Fire - f0957 - iStripper XXX
Kitty - Laced Up For Midnight - e1724 - iStripper

The point used against fact XXX cards are the most bought and coveted, which has been brought on by "ordinary" card lovers in another thread, where such a discussion has been labeled as offtopic by Mods - ("people will simply tend to buy what is more available") does prove exactly the opposite thing they would want to: since, in 2021, the large majority of cards released was still ordinary - but the most sold ones were, by far, XXX ones. As it can be seen on this official thread.

Just wanted to say 'thank you' to iStripper / Totem team. This has been the most rewarding event since ive started using this service. I am a very 'frugal' user. I only add credits when the reload event is active and then I sit on them for awhile till cards come out for girls I enjoy like Veronica Leal, Belka, Christy White etc or there's an interesting event like Lucky Star.

I saw that Christy White was one of the options for Lucky Star so I used 125c to buy some cards and press my luck with Christy. I managed to reroll those same 125c over and over and over and managed to get like 4 Gift Cards and 4 or 5 Event cards. I didn't manage to get the Veronica Leal card I wanted, but I did manage to get some good ones as well as remain net neutral on what I actually put in. I started with 540c and im currently sitting at 535.30 even after getting all those rewards for playing.

I get that not all events will be the same and maybe Christy White just happened to be my Lucky Star, but this felt like the most rewarding experience ive had since I have started using the platform -- so thank you! 😊

Now if only Veronica Leal, Lexi Belle and Coco de Mal would come back to play.. 😍

I dont get it, they should rework the xxx label, some cards are great with xxx with alot of strip/dance and some are just MEH with tons of table and dildo, But personaly I havent watch a single mastrubation clip ever. It is not for me. but these days most cards are xxx so the option to not buy the xxx cards are not there IMO

@AntiDictator
You are off topic here. To ask for a come back, please use this thread https://www.istripper.com/fr/forum/thread/24714/43?post=737830

New shows with Li Moon please 😋

This thread has gotten Off Topic

Discussion about Best Sellers should be in this thread..........

https://www.istripper.com/forum/thread/50646/1?post=738286

Any further posts about this subject or Any Other off topic posts Will Be Deleted !!!!

This thread is about future incoming cards ONLY !!!! nothing else

Thank You

I remember there was a time when so many XXX cards only had Table clips and some of the outfits used were therefore totally ***** in those shows. Several made comments in the forum about this or in the shows comments.

I just checked all the cards above and only one is all table (Eve Sweet & Sasha Meow f0738) and the trio card (f0922) has only one standing clip, but it is at least 5 minutes long. Most other XXX cards now seem to have at least 10 minutes of non-table clips and some much more. So something for everyone me thinks and thanks iStripper team for the change. 👍

The last all table show I know of I mentioned here:
https://www.istripper.com/forum/thread/50222/1?post=737476

I disagree with everyone until evidence is produced that proves that the best sellers list is based on actual credits used by members to purchase a particular card.
Currently there is no evidence to disprove that the best sellers list does not include the cards won by members in games of chance where the member has no control over the prize won.

If Eve Sweet does another take in the future, she should do a cosplay of Black Widow. She kinda resembles Scarlet Johanson.

Personally I think she looks more like Kate Beckinsale particularly in the Underworld series of films..

I would love to see Eve in that "Underworld" outfit that Kate wore. Complete with the long leather coat.😛😍

Not sure how easy it would be to do a striptease though.

If 18 out of the 20 best sellers were XXX, then the membership are making their preferences shown with their credits.

I disagree: if Ford only produced red cars, the best-selling Ford model would be red ..... 😈

In reality things will be a rather more complex than either of the above.

For example, if there are equal numbers of customers for two varieties of card but one variety is common and the other is rare then those preferring the common variety will have plenty of choice and spread their purchases over them whereas those preferring the rarer the rarer variety will have less choice and will therefore concentrate their purchases on these cards. In the simple case where equal numbers of each variety are sold it is the rarer cards that are then the individual "best sellers" and in general this boost to the sales of the rarer cards will persist and can lead to the poorer selling variety dominating the "best seller" list. I do not claim that this concentration/dilution effect is is the explanation for the XXX/non-XXX card ratios (far from it, I think the XXX cards are truely the more popular even though I much prefer the non-XXX performances), only that matters are more complex than they first appear.

If 18 out of the 20 best sellers were XXX, then the membership are making their preferences shown with their credits.

I disagree: if Ford only produced red cars, the best-selling Ford model would be red ..... 😈
In my opinion it also depends on what the market offers: little stripping and a lot of xxx and collectors buy anyway....

If Eve Sweet does another take in the future, she should do a cosplay of Black Widow. She kinda resembles Scarlet Johanson.

bit ***** by this one... do you win the card of the model in the special area? or an SEC (which is not the model you choose to play for?) SO if you scratch the two and win credits or whatever.. but then scratch the bonus or third thing to scratch... it says you lose... if and when it says you win.. do you win the card of that model you picked to try for or do you win an SEC? which is probably not the model.... and if it is an SEC, what is the point of "picking" the model from the best of? not understanding this game this time around.... all i know is i have played it 4 times and lost 3 of 4 with one breaking even so thats enough losing for me..... not a fan of this type of game for this many credits......

I am quite happy where things are; however change is also good. IStripper is constantly changing based on feedback and purchases.
When I joined slightly over fourteen years ago, xxx did not exist on VirtuagirlHD and DeskBabes did not yet exist. Certain cards had a brief finger insertion (never a dildo) and this was considered xxx for very few clips. Marie, Alizee, and Sharka Blue are three girls I can remember having clips like that in 'a' (VirtuaGirlHD) cards. For a long time only 720p cards existed; now we have three higher resolutions (and 480p).

Also, I am now buying all new cards except those of Eva Brown and Jessica Night, and also Ayako Fuji whose cards are all released now. So, Totem Entertainment must be doing something right to please me.
