If there had been no exclusive cards then there would currently be six cards less than there are. They are indeed extra cards even though they are in no material way any different to those being sold by the normal route.
What is "exploitative" is to sell cards cheaply one by one encouraging us to buy them singly rather than as an expensive one off purchase of the whole set even if they did allow us to pay in installments. If Totem had started by telling me that I could buy 4000+ cards for even half the price that I have paid I would not have taken up that offer - it is the normal sales that are the more exploitative of the two.

@TheEmu 😉 I'm happy that you're happy with the product 😊 No need for me to keep on arguing... I believe I made my case.
Anyway, I'm gone now. Let's see what my 4,000+ credits gets me in the coming months/years. I might even be back if something drastically changes in the future - I 'm not keeping my hopes up, though.
All the best to you all, signing out.

If there had been no exclusive cards then there would currently be six cards less than there are.Sorry, but no way.
- Each girl shoots usually 6 cards
- Each exclusive card has been part of a 6 cards set
- In NOT any case an exclusive card has been the 7th card of a set (which would have meant it to be REALLY a plus, something more than usual, something extraordinary)
Moreover, the fact exclusive cards have pratically nothing different from other cards makes me think that decision about which cards release as exclusive could have been taken even much time after shooting.

Yes, that is all true - but in my opinion totally irrelevant. There are still 6 more cards currently available then there would have been if there had been no special events offering them. Its not a matter of their production, it is a matter of their release - they are extra releases
Why do you think that there should be something intrinsically special about a special event card? It has never been the case that the card was special, it's the events that are special.

There are still 6 more cards currently available then there would have been if there had been no special events offering them.If what I said is true, there is nothing as "6 more cards", because if there wouldn't have been the special events those cards still would have been released as normal cards (what they really are).
As they are just part of an ordinary 6 cards shooting, they could have had an ordinary release too.
But eventually the events - not the cards - are the special thing, ok. I then am sorry, but can find no sense and no happiness in events ***** people to spend much more just in order to get an ordinary card subtracted to an ordinary shooting, if they really want that card. Maybe others do.
As a last thing, I'll remind to all that we had:
- 1 exclusive card in 2017;
- 2 exclusive cards in last months of 2018;
- 3 exclusive cards in the six first months of 2019 (...are we going to have other 3 ones in next six months? Hope not...).

Guys - try not to get too upset over the exclusive cards - its only porno after all . Although I was suckered into a few spins somewhile back I made a decision from then on to Never play the fruit machine , Never play the Goose game , Never buy a month upfront . Never fall for the package discount offer . My advice is to stay away everytime Totem offer up a couple of cards you might wish to buy from your wishlist with a one or more duff cards from their extensive back catalogue of stuff you have already rejected. I am not wasting credits on poor cards or blind offers -regardless of any deal Totem might conjure up - end of . We should all do likewise.
Its been suggested many times before - but why not an offer where you choose your own cards - say 5 for the price of 4. Simples.

you guys are a hoot.
I like that the second one boasts a USB port .. whatever that is for😕
oh i just found it .. a usb powered nipple clamp😉
@muttonjeff do the nipple clamps vibrate pls post web site. sounds like fun
@muttonjeff and @gkar45. I think that this is in the wrong Thank God It's Friday thread, lol
That's okay though. This discussion is getting too heavy and needs the distraction.
The usb powered nipple clips send a micro electrical voltage through the nipples in addition to the vibrating that @gkar45 is interested in.

Sorry, but no way.Each girl shoots usually 6 cardsEach exclusive card has been part of a 6 cards setIn NOT any case an exclusive card has been the 7th card of a set (which would have meant it to be REALLY a plus, something more than usual, something extraordinary)So, it's easy to assume that if such cards would have not been released as exclusive ones, they would have been released just as ordinary cards, as the 5 other ones of same set.
Moreover, the fact exclusive cards have pratically nothing different from other cards makes me think that decision about which cards release as exclusive could have been taken even much time after shooting.
The sets of 6 are arbitrary. They just happen to be 6 based on a daily schedule. Some girls shoot 4, or 2 or 9. Red Fox will have 12 cards...somewhere between 10-12 hours of istripper content and 500 pictures. You have to either wait or pay "extra" for 9% of her content and get a 45% discount or more for 91% of her content. And it is not fair to blame totem. It is their perogative to try different sales techniques. If the community only bought what was logical totem would be ***** to sell the card for normal price or even less. The reality is the community spends hundreds of $ just to smell a worn piece of clothing, they spend hundreds and hundreds to win $100 and they spend massive amounts to get a $1.30 card. That is not totem's fault but customers being irresponsible. Why would they give up free money just because grown adults can't manage themselves? This is not call of duty where a 13 year old can max out their parents credit card. This is ADULT entertainment. And if grown adults are fine not managing themselves then that is great too. It can be fun blowing a bank account of things people love.

Who are you and what have you done with the real @orclover?
Sorry @orclover I know we don't often agree but
Would also like to add that Totem are a business. They have to make money and invest in new equipment to stay in business otherwise they will just fall by the wayside.
I do not want to see Totem fail. They have a unique and interesting product.

Just to be clear while I'm disappointed that there is yet another card Totem has chosen to exclude me from I will not lose any sleep over it but I find it hard believe you even believe yourself most of the time.
Of course if they didn't make the exclusive cards there would be 6 less cards and if they didn't make the 4000+ other cards I would be about $2500 the richer but that is irrelevant. How many cards are produced has nothing to do them being extra. They did not find them under table or in a draw they are produced just the same. Back when I started there were at most 5 new cards a week; does the extra 2 cards produced now special, extra, or exclusive?
Nor is the price relevant; I spend 5 times more on coffee every day then I would ever spend on porn. Everything has a value and it's not just money. I'm not buying stuff I don't want; the cost of the ***** credits would annoy me but if I did waste the credits, cash, the time, or anything else I value it would be my self respect that paid the real price.
Stop fixating on the cost and quantity of cards produced and think about your dignity. If you buy everything anyways then I guess there is no loss but I prefer to buy only the things I want so the compromise is ***** to me. If it were buy 1 card you don't want and get it free them maybe I could sell it to myself as nothing ***** but I just have to live with yet another card in my collection I wish was not there. But I would not buy 2 cards I didn't want in order to get a free card of any sort.
I'll get the next Red Fox card and quickly forget the calendar altogether.
