I have two unreleased scenes. One where the girls play rock, paper scissors...and another where they answer trivia about another model. Both scenes are unplanned messes. As in, no result/answer is predetermined.
Rock-paper-scissors: The losers of each round get pied, but the girl with the most losses gets slimed.
Model trivia: Wrong answers get pied. And the one with the most wrong answers gets slimed.
My question is...do you want to know who gets the slime in the preview pics? Because maybe you want to know what you're buying. OR. Do you not want to know who gets slimed because you like surprises?
I prefer to know what I'm buying, especially if I have a strong preference about which model I want to see get messy, but I understand wanting it to be a surprise. I like the approach that some producers take of not having the preview pictures show the result, but having DMs open for people who want to know to ask.
It would be great if UMD could add a "spoilers" button to preview images, which expanded the list of preview images to include those marked as spoilers.
When it comes to individual purchases I want to know what I'm getting, with mess there can be too many variables and I like to know something fits my tastes before I buy.
Now if I was streaming I could imagine I'd like the surprise and I wouldn't need to know what I'm getting because if it wasn't for me then I just wouldn't watch it again. The problem with streaming is there's just too many good producers to afford all the subscriptions.

I too had this excellent idea, but I have no evidence to show this, so instead I'm going to sulk in a corner about the fact I didn't get to say it first.
Honestly though, the spoiler thing has always been a long running debate here, and doing this seems to be the perfect means of keeping both sides happy.
I would never buy a scene where I couldn't see who got messy, and check that it was shot properly so we can see everything.
I appreciate no-one wants to give an entire scene away in the previews, so not expecting every single money-shot for free, but I want to be able to check that we can see the model's lower half get messy, that they get messy all over and not just in front, and how messy they end up. A lot of the important detail can be in the description, but we need at least a couple of shots of "mess happening" and one or two of "the aftermath" to really judge a scene, in my mind.
I think there are two distinct approaches here though, it all depends on whether the potential purchaser is looking for "procedural WAM" where seeing the process of the messing in detail is the primary aim, or more into "model reaction / suspense", in which case much of the above won't apply because that purchaser is more into the "game" element.
TLDR: There isn't a right answer to this, the only real way to judge is to try a few scenes in different styles and see how well they sell compared to your standard scenes. The result will probably differ for different producers too, as what attracts customers to any given production house will vary by how that house's natural vibe comes over.
I never understood ardent anti-preview pics perspectives tho. It seems fairer if previews are provided and anti-preview pic users could just ignore them.
MW had a great way of doing spoilers for their GTG scenes. They would have a seperate section for a game scene where they would have five pictures covered up with their logo and you had to click on it to see who got lost.
The plus was that there was usually a great full coverage picture included, which was great when you didn't have the funds to buy the scene.
This could also be a downside. There was a scene that I loved but one of the spoiler pictures had the gungee rocking a serious Here's Johnny face and that completely took me out of it. But that was rare.
