C'est généralement le cas avec ce genre de promo "Free Packs", on acquiert des cartes que l'on ne souhaite pas. Et lorsqu'on termine le prix moyen a tendance à diminuer puisque les ristournes sont plus élevées et dans ce cas ci les cartes gratuites sont plus nombreuses.
C'est votre choix et il est compréhensible aussi.
Pourrions nous dire que le fait que certaines cartes de nos wishlists soient présentes au début du jeu serait en quelque sorte un "appel d'offres" en langage commercial?
@arise77
This is generally the case with this kind of "Free Packs" promo, you acquire cards that you do not want. And when you finish the average price tends to decrease since the discounts are higher and in this case the free cards are more numerous.
It's your choice and it's understandable too.
Could we say that the fact that some cards from our wishlists are present at the start of the game would be a sort of "tender" in commercial language?

felissitation lya bravot 💕

@Philours je pense que ce n'est avantageux que lorsque on veut des cartes aléatoires, ici ce n'est pas mon cas. J'ai même hésité à jouer la 2e série car j'ai vu que le nombre de cartes de la wishlist était descendu à une dès le tirage n°5. J'espérais obtenir au moins quelques cartes de la wishlist parmi les suivantes et le tirage 8 (cartes gratuites), mais ça s'est avéré inutile.
Pour ma part, il n'y a aucune raison de continuer, car je vais me retrouver à acheter des cartes dont je ne veux pas.

@Wrightsayswow you're probably right, the results may vary from one member to another, but I still think the system works this way: the cheaper it gets, the less wishlisted cards are included.

Bravo Lya 💋

Nice choice.

My sincere congratulations for you Lya!

@iStripperteam: an excellent choice!!! I was totally surprised; I didn't dare to hope.

In the first place by inviting/selecting Lya the iStripperteam recognized her immense talent and in the second place by now giving her the reward of Talent of the Month, which is more than 100% deserved.

In my comment on her last show I wrote: "You are my favorite model of the first quarter of 2021!"

When I think of Lya two things come to my mind:
1. freshness, innocence and naturalness:
2. her superb dancing in a very original, personal style on high heels, but even more on bare feet.

Tout à fait d'accord, Lya Missy mérite vraiment cette distinction!!!❤️ ❤️ 😍 😍 👍 👍

Few months ago, we were welcoming a little jewel of freshness, soooo similar to a famous Australian pop singer!
Lya Missy is a wonderful performer and an amazing chameleon! For each outfit she puts on, she immediately becomes a different character, with always the same senusality and power of seduction!

And your comments prove it:

"Lya has such a youthful vigorous, positive demeanour." (64b***)
"Can't stress enough how beautiful and perfect this woman is." (jcl***)
"Her body Art WOW her Moves OMG WOW." (BEA**)
"Absolutely irresistable. Her performance is outstanding" (DB1***)

It's a pleasure to name Lya our Talent of the Month for April 2021!

We definitely cannot make any judgement of what every user of iStripper wants, but we can see what the general opinion is even from the small sample of people who are visiting the forum. Statistic is powerful in that you can gain pretty solid image of what users want from a small sample of them.

It is not a secret Cashback offer won in some former survey to be the best promotion on iStripper, but still we are not seeing it anymore. I don't think the reason is that nobody wants it here.

@arise77 you're right 1500 credits on 25 game got me 3 additional gift cards (just wish they were jokers). Some of the "unwanted" you will find you are quite happy to keep - I did. Re "at least now we know" I'm not sure we do - our plays are just random examples - others will have done better and others worse is my guess.

O.K. @arise77
Comptez-vous en rester la ou poursuivre le parcours complet, car plus vous avancer plus les avantages sont importants comme vous l'avez remarqué.
Je ne vous pousse pas à jouer mais personnellement je fais la totalité du parcours quand je décide d'entreprendre un tel jeu 😊
O.K. @arise77
Do you plan to stay there or continue the full course, because the more you advance the more the benefits are important as you have noticed.
I do not push you to play but personally I do the entire course when I decide to undertake such a game 😊

So I finally gave it a try and here are my results.
I went through the 1st 8 sets to reach the 2nd round of free cards and spent a bit more than 185 credits for 21 cards including

• 3 virtuagirl 720p cards
• 4 deskbabes 720p cards
• 10 IS cards (7 wishlisted)
• 4 ISx cards (1 wishlisted)

10 cards I'm interested in, and 11 I wouldn't have bought.

2 wishlisted cards in the 1st set, 2 in the 2nd, 1 in the 3rd, Free card selected from wishlist.
1 wishlisted card in the 5th, 1 in the 6th, none in the 7th, then none selected from wishlist in the 2 free cards.

As a whole, it's not a bad deal because that's around 8.8 credits per card on average. But as you can see the number of wishlisted cards decreases in the second round (only 2 out of 11). If you don't mind all the random cards, it's worth it. But if you're mainly looking for wishlisted cards, this promo is not for you. At least now we know.

Yelena - taking it easy now - she's had a busy morning.

@Sexy3DBoy

So we can't make any judgement on the general opinion of unwanted card purchases.

👍👍👍

Hi everyone,
I haven't had time since Sunday to post an update on this topic.

just the 80 plays on the 25 game times 15 credits each go which is 1200 credits. That has given mean the two and a third gift cards from the progress bar. Hope that makes sense now.

@Wrightsayswow yes that makes sense, thanks again. I confirm it probably takes around 500 credits to fill in the bar.

@Philours bien vu ! Effectivement, cela doit prendre environ 500 crédits pour remplir la barre. J'ai dépensé environ 185 crédits et j'en suis à un tiers, peut-être un peu plus.

@TheEmu @Alkasyn @TallandSlimMan I confirm this offer includes cards from your wishlist (the only one I noticed). I had about 30 cards on my wishlist at the start of the promo out of over 1,700 available in the store; so to have 2 wishlisted cards out of 3 it's virtually impossible unless they are selected.
You can't change what has already been drawn, but you can add cards to you wishlist and this will affect your next draws. I added some cards to my wishlist, following Philours' advice, and these 2 showed up one or two draws later.
But then the number of wishlisted cards vary in each set, and decrease the further you go.
I'll publish the details of my results in a minute.

Hi guys, I have forwarded your feedback to our Marketing Team.

Thanks @Manue

As I said on another thread, there are not many of us who show up on the forum in terms of the number of registered accounts. So we can't make any judgement on the general opinion of unwanted card purchases.

The business will know I guess and we never will. Often wondered how many accounts there are?

Is there really so few customers who want to pay only for things they are really interested in?

Je pense que nous sommes une majorité à vouloir acheter les cartes qui nous intéressent. Ceci dit, le hasard des acquisitions peut nous faire connaître et apprécier des cartes qui au départ ne nous auraient pas séduits. Comme je l'ai précisé sur un autre fil de discussion, nous sommes pas nombreux à nous manifester sur le forum au regard du nombre de comptes enregistrés. Nous ne pouvons donc pas formuler de jugement sur l'avis général des achats de cartes non souhaitées.

I think that the majority of us want to buy the cards that interest us. That said, the chance of acquisition can make us know and appreciate cards that at first would not have seduced us. As I said on another thread, there are not many of us who show up on the forum in terms of the number of registered accounts. So we can't make any judgement on the general opinion of unwanted card purchases.

Wait for Freya Mayer's smile, I shot her last week, this is something... :)

Au prochain sondage : Quel est votre offre préférée? Peut-être devrions nous voter pour celle que nous voulons voir disparaître? 😲
On the next survey: What is your favorite offer? Maybe we should vote for the one we want to see disappear? 😲

I'd like to chime in on the issue - I also think the Cashback was the best sale and I was eagerly looking forward to each Friday, hoping that this might be "it'. Since they retired that promo I don't participate in the promotions as they are indeed gambling. Due to me only wanting a dozen or so cards from the store, nearly every outcoem of the gambling game will be a disappointment. I've also ***** at least 1500 credits on gambling games over the years, but my last reload, since I've made the conscious decision not to particiapte in games of chance, has lasted me over6 months and counting (I'm not even halfway through the credits bought).

Which in the end, is a net positive for me, as I spend less, rediscover older cards (some of them really itneresting, maybe my tastes have changed a bit) and wait for the company to wake up from it's COVID slumber.

It seems like almost everyone wants the Cashback offer back, but at the same time probably too many people are spending hundreds or thousands of credits on the gambling games and special event cards. These are easy money for iStripper and that's why we probably didn't see a proper sale for a long time.

Hi guys, I have forwarded your feedback to our Marketing Team.

This is Leona Mia from Extraordinary. This is the only pic in the set which has her feet airborne. However, you can definitely say that you have quality here if not quantity.

Mila I - I think it's a case of spot the difference in the first two. The third that left foot is just in the air.

I no longer play these games, but I can report that the first pack did indeed show two cards on my wishlist and one unwanted card

Ditto for me, it would be interesting to know if this draw is valid on the following packs?

@arise77
@Alkasyn

I no longer play these games, but I can report that the first pack did indeed show two cards on my wishlist and one unwanted card. I removed one card from my wishlist to see if that would change. It did NOT change the three cards offered, even after several days of shutdowns and restarts.

Yes, you're right, it doesn't change the card, they are sourced from your list when the promo starts and nothing you do can influence that afterwards.

Or just start them plain naked :) a lot of xxx fans would probably appreciate that more anyway.

Certainly cuts done on cost! 😆
But nothing to auction off afterwards 😢 for those that collect outfits.

I would be all for it just please not during xxx shows. I know that a few recent ones have started adding more variety of clips standing and pole shows..but too often a great everyday outfit or costume used in a xxx show is secondary at best is shedded quickly and there are barely any non nude / topless clips in a xxx show to properly enjoy them. So for regular dance teases great idea..for xxx stick with 2 piece bikinis or basically not there anyway stuff..Or just start them plain naked :) a lot of xxx fans would probably appreciate that more anyway.

have to check that girl!

Of course next play I might win 150 credits

Of course I didn't, silly me! In another 20 plays today won another gift card plus the one on the progress bar. Also 6 random cards, none of which I remotely wanted, deleted. So average cost of all cards won is now 13 credits. For every hundred plays 3 progress gift cards. Obviously average cost of cards I won and wanted is probably nearer the price we all started at, so 20 to 25 credits.
Only reason to play was chance to win jokers - I never have on this game since it was first introduced some months ago. Did get a couple of SECs before, but that's it.
There will be better chances to get jokers I'm sure.
Experiment over! Back to the girls!

@arise77

While anything is possible I very much doubt that the contents of your wishlist are taken into account at all and that, just as the description of the promo implies, the cards are picked entirely at random from all the cards you don't own without being biased to any subset of those cards in any way other than the stated exclusion of those released in the last 45 days.

(If I were running Totem and was feeling evil I would consider (but would not implement) making the contents of a wishlist less likely to be given as prizes than those not on the list! Putting a card on your wishlist signals that you are more likely to pay full price for it than those not on your wishlist. A seller has rather better, much less crude, ways of using a customer's wishlist than that - but I have no idea whether Totem do so or not.)

Contents of the wishlist are definitely taken into account for the Free Packs promo, it's very easy to check (remove cards from your wishlsit until you have 2 left and see if they make it into this kind of promo. Spolier: they will, if they meet the other requirements - being older than 45 days etc).

Every single instance of this promo I was offered 2 cards on my wishlist and 1 trash card - so I never took up the offer. How do I know? I have only 6 cards on my wishlist, so the odds of this being a random ocurrence every single time are unlikely.

I just came up on this thread. I agree with everyone I know of who has been mentioned. There are two I would like to mention by name.

One, Linda Ellison, I started downloading soon after joining here four years ago. I soon got all her cards which are delightful. She has a lot of material on other sites like playboy.com.

I just recently came up on Lorena while playing the Free Packs games. She was here several years ago but according to internet sources she is still active in the business.

When I was growing up the Miss America pageant was still broadcast on a major network every year. In my home state the Miss South Carolina pageant would be carried in every major city there. I and my family could spot the girls who had genuine smiles and those who were fake. I can't think of any of the iStripper girls who IMHO do not have genuine smiles.

Who will be the first to reach 5,000 cards?

Ava, Agatha, Victoria, Tina, Ava and Sally

I watched Rita Y earlier, on my mobile, trying out that service for size as it were. It's okay, but so small, however the thing I noticed most then was her lovely radiant smile. So I guessed there'd be a thread on here for that and I found this I think the most recent and relevant. The key for me at least is the model can maintain her smile even when doing her full nude poses. Some I think you can tell it's not quite the same - understandable really if they are new to nude modelling.
And as others have often written Lorena has perhaps the best of smiles ever! So I include her on this thread revival.
Find your favourite smiles and let's add more pictures to this thread.

Here is iStripper girl Uma Jolie. Of course with that name Uma Thurman and Angelina Jolie come to mind. Forum rules forbid that a model's real name be revealed, but suffice it to say that it is not close to either names of the famous actresses. You decide if there is any resemblance among these three.

Thanks to TheEmu and wrightsayswow on the pointer about editing.

Ava did some lovely shows here in 2019 and also fits in this thread very well.
I started poll a while ago - so cosider it if you have not already.

I will close out my after dinner "session" with Galina from her card very appropriately titled Foot Fetish. Two pics only have one leg airborne and the other only has half a leg up, but this is a very delightful card that deserves being posted in this thread. It has been a delightful holiday afternoon being able to make these posts.

Here is another couple of pics of Katya Clover, these from Sheer Delight. She has her gorgeous two toned feet in The Pose. Indeed, that alone lives up to the card title.

BTW, I could swear that I remember a picture set where the girl has her panties stretched out with her big toe holding on and she looks ready to sling shot them. I thought it was Stella or maybe Katya but no luck finding the right one yet. If anyone out there knows which card that is, please go ahead and post those pics. Thanks in advance.

Here is Stella Cardo from A Walk in the Park.

😰😰😰
To call this a bittersweet post is an understatement. This is the late Leila Mazz, as shown in my avatar tribute, from See-Through Vision and Pool Party. In case you did not yet know, she drowned in a tragic accident last September.

Her bio states that if she was a flower, she would be a violet. I can't help but believe that she is blossoming in wherever or whatever the afterlife is.

Again, Rest in Peace, Dear Leila. You live on in all our hearts.
💕💕💕

The legs are in the air - so all good.
All this talk of food has made hungry or as I used to say to mum "I'm Hungarian"
So before dinner here's another - BELKA.
And so far all these lovelies TOTALLY NUDE ❤️

Here is Katya Clover from her Sweet Cream card. The middle picture is too close up to include her feet, but it is a nice shot of something else that these pics often have, a "two hole" show.

Definitely time for Easter Lunch now. Be back later with more.

@RonaldB nice one!
I'm ready for this with my favourite GLORIA.
Unfortunately not many poses like this from Gloria, so cheated a little with the last, but it does certainly show her lovely feet as you see.

I don't call that a cheat, since she did have one foot in mid-air. Let me see if I can post a couple more before I get some Easter Sunday lunch.

@TheEmu 👍

@RonaldB nice one!

I was inspired by wrightsayswow's recent post of Victoria Travel to start another thread dedicated to naked legs and feet raised up. My first post has Victoria from her ***** Beauty card, which turns out to be anything but *****. I will return shortly with similar poses by other iStripper models.

Apparently the time limit has passed on editing my post above.

More relevant than time is that there has been a later post in the thread as you can only edit or delete a post while it is the last post made in its thread (I don't know what happens if there was a later but now deleted post). I have often seen claims that there is a time limit, which may well be true, and that this limit is just one hour but I have on several occasions edited posts well after that - though I have never tried one days later, only a few hours.

Moderators are less restricted in their abilities to edit posts.

I've been "access forbidden" twice this week, because I was too slow doing the edit. Even had to restart iStripper to get back into the forum.

I used to have the same problem until I learnt from someone's post that pressing the backspace key will get you back to the forum.
