1st Anniversary Competition

Hello everyone,

as promised, an anniversary competition is here! And because FTR birthday is only once, we will be competing for something very attractive – a tier 8 premium tank of your choice :)

Rules are very simple. You write the answers (won’t be difficult) in comments, along with your nickname and server (acceptable servers are EU, NA, RU, ASIA) like this:

answer 1
answer 2
answer 3
answer 4
answer 5
answer 6
Yournicknamegoeshere EU

You have until midnight (central European summer time). After midnight, I will randomly pick one winner from the correct answers. Or more. We’ll see :)

So, the questions are:

1) What is the totem animal of For the Record
2) What is the nickname of For the Record webmaster, who runs this site, as well as his own RU WoT server?
3) What is SerB’s favourite answer to stupid questions? (two words)
4) Who is FTR’s featured streamer?
5) How many posts (including this one) in total were posted on wot-news-based FTR until today?

and, bonus question, you don’t have to answer that, but you might want to

6) How many Wargaming developers does it take to switch a lightbulb and why?

Yes, best answer(s) to question 6 will be rewarded as well.

Good luck!

PS: As always, if you ever appeared in Hall of Shame, you are disqualified.

Edit: Comments closed.

Edit 2: Due to a small glitch in the system, I will have to recheck each entry manually, that will take some time. The results will be posted in the morning. Also, had a good laugh at some of the lightbulb jokes, but reading all cca 800 will take some time, results of both will be posted in separate posts.

  2. I’m pretty sure 6) is supposed to be “to CHANGE a lighbulb”. At least I really hope so, “to screw a lighbulb” comes across as having a *quite* different meaning that’s both alarmingly deviant and likely hazardous…

  4. Great thing, Frank, with the competition. I follow your blog (already the old one) since the early beginning and had a great time. Sometimes I was sad, worried about you, sometimes, some Posts made me angry, but most of the time you made me wonder and giggle. Good to have you and your blog and all the supporters. Without, it would have been a very boring time.
    As always, I leave the price to those who need/want a goldtank more than me. Thanks anyway and good luck all with the competition :)

  21. I’m not caring about the tier 8 premium, I have all of them anyway.

    6.
    WG RU: Dimitry shouts at the lightbulb. Lightbulb trembles in fear. Lightbulb switches back on. Dimitry is very effective.
    WG EU: What lightbulb and what’s a lightbulb anyway?
    WG NA: One, and a medic. “Hold my beer, I got this”

    6. Well, historical references vary from merely 5 to in the hundreds, so for the sake of game balance they tell everyone around 20, but it subsequently gets changed in a hotfix and nobody notices until someone is looking up light bulbs in WoT Tank Viewer, so SS makes an FTR post about it and WG EU notice the mistake and make a long blog post about “historical accuracy” and how it “didn’t affect the gameplay” and “according to data from the RU server people like that number just fine”; ALL the while nobody thinks to realize that this is only a number that SerB got from an RNG machine and WG has NEVER actually changed any light bulbs to test whether their numbers are accurate, and this whole ordeal just delayed Havok for another 2 months aka around a year.

    6. Probably how the place is illuminated doesn’t work as intended. So they have to think about some buff. They will rework the textures of the bulb and they will install it… when it’s done it’s done. After all, if you can’t see in that room it is your ISP fault.

Only 1 dev is needed to switch the light on (with SerB’s permition of course, but SerB is not classed as a dev by WG as he is known as the glorious eternal master of happiness, logic and success). Then it takes a few dozen workers at the power station to generate the electricity and a few hundred workers to get the oil/coal/gas/uranium from the earth. Oh and of course Victor Kislyi had to create the earth first (or should i say the Big World?).

When they arrive they firstly argue if it’s broken at all. They conclude it is, but they don’t know how to fix it so they return to SerB and tell him it’s working as intended. SerB then approves it and nerfs their salaries. Because he can. How terrible…

    6) Won’t happen. Serb will try to nerf the lightbulb until it starts working again. After he failed, Storm will deny that there is a problem with the lightbulb and it’s working as intended. Finally some young, underpayed WG employee googles the term “lightbulb” and finds a fan-based instruction on the net. Spirited by the efforts of his young co-worker, Storm informs the community that WG will change the lightbulb as soon as possible: “When it’s done, it’s done…”
    Several months later, Storm will claim that WG had to reinvent the whole process since the instructions of the lightbulb-modding community were rather poor and full of mistakes. He will further claim that no satisfying solution has been found so far. To avoid admitting defeat, the building where the lightbulb is located, will be abandoned and the whole department will relocate to Amsterdam.

    First one creates a super lightbulb. Second developer charges you for it. Third guy comes to nerf this lightbulb. Fourth one creates gold plus credits package with lightbulb for free. The fifth promises new lightbulb and whole branch of lightbulbs. Sixth finds a bug in the lightbulb. Seventh speaks no word of it. Eight one goes on vacation. There is no developer number nine and probably he never existed. Tenth developer was fired. Eleventh guy is working as intended. Twelfth one kills the switch.
    And the princess is in another castle.

    6) Well, you need a few guys from EU to make a post about changing the bulb and what wattage it will be, another couple of guys (and a few days) to fix the post. Then you will of course get dev from RU who says a different wattage. Once the devs settle on how they should screw it in, you’ll need a few weeks for tests to be done by a few supertesters. The devs will realize that the light bulb mechanic doesn’t work well and put it on hold for a while. A few months later they will revisit the issue and just fix the bulb. Only to realize that the measurements they had taken for the bulb were incorrect.

When people start complaining, SerB claims that it’s the fault of their lightbulb sockets.

    6. Correct answer is 5. It takes one community manager (1) to see there is a problem with lightbulb on EU forums, then one guy (2) in server team to deny any problems with lightbulb, then another community manager (3) to see the problem is real, one guy in HQ (4) to forward the problem details to dev team (5) and after two patches and 3 tests you get a working lightbulb that flashes red and light!

    6. All of them, because, first of all , it needs to be established whether the lightbulb originated from KV1S interior. If it does, the lightbulb doesn`t need to be changed , because it “works as intended”. 2nd , if lightbulb is associated with King of Jordan , it will be replaced at any cost and in no time at all. 3rd , if a lightbulb is located in WG EU Paris offices, then its a lost cause to even attempt to replace it with local assets.

    6) Whole developer team and hundreds of testers – developers say they should add light bulb – they create test room and put it there; testers say light bulb is good and should stay like this. Developers completely scrap the idea, design new light bulb and put it in a normal room straight away; light bulb v2 twitches and has low light-per-second; developers wont change it straight away but instead they wait for whole room renovation that will happen in an unknown future.

    Answer is: It doesn’t matter, the WG developers are going to switch the lightbulb and WG EU staff will screw it up so badly, the players would believe they need a lightbulb connected to their PC to fix FPS issues.

They agree that it is faulty. They ask Mo to help them, “Not now guys, I’m busy making a hilarious community video” replies Mo. Cue months of waiting until it gets pushed up the line to Minsk HQ. Finally gets replaced after SerB gives his approval. “Let them have light. At least then they might see what mistakes they are making”.

    6. It’s hard to say how many Wargaming developers are needed to switch a lightbulb. Every time a German tank is buffed/Russian tank nerfed or mistakes are done (they happen allways), Serb brings the developer(s) in front of the “Lightbulb test” and gives them an easy task, switch that lightbulb, if they do it wrong, Serb says “How terrible!” and he is fired. None knows what Serb says if you do it good, there is none who made it, none who could tell us that, none saw it, none heard of it, it’s a mystery that maybe won’t ever be solved! Tell me what else should he be doing? Vodka and lightbulb test all the day!

    6: It depends on what priority it is. If they can spare some men who are not working on the HD models then it might be done when its done. The usual procedure:
    -Realise, that the lightbulb is burned out
    -Admit that it does not work (a few weeks later)
    -Organise a team that will work on changing the lightbulb
    -Realise that there are so many people who want to see that lightbulb changed, so that they might want to make some money with it
    -Invent a new hypersuper lightbulb and advertise it so everyone will be willing to grind their ass down just to see that lightbulb, and to do so buy premium
    -Patent it, so WT will not steal it
    -Change the wiring in the building so it will handle the new lightbulb
    -Install the “Billionen Gigawatt Glühbirne ausf. H”
    -Watch the building burn down because of it
    -state that its not overpowered and does not need to change
    If I am forced to say a number, as competent as they are, I would say a single developer can screw it.

By my count, anywhere from 20 to 50 people must be included in the changing of the lightbulb.

The lightbulb will then never be changed, because it was “working as intended” even if it wasn’t working at all.
    If it is not Russian, then 2 developers and SerB will be needed to switch it: a developer to do the actual switching, another developer to make sure it works even less than it used to after the switching, and SerB to answer sarcastically to anyone that mentions that last fact in a forum post.

    6) They won’t give any details about the light bulb. They will only say “When it’s done it’s done”. A huge announcement will be made about the light bulb issue when it’s about to happen. The light bulb issue will have severe consequences on the servers – horrible laggs, timeouts, server disconnects, login problems, CW issues. They will fix everything in about 3 months. The whole dev team will try to find out what caused the server problems for another year.

    6. the correct answer is 15.
    It takes 1 scout developer to check if the lightbulb is working, and 14 tank destroyer developers to sit around the campfire making smores, While the scout developer does all the work

    6) The number is not important really, what is truly relevant is to determine if such a lightbulb truly needs switching. Leaks flood the web about the questions in many WG offices: “Is it historically accurate?” “Does it fit in the lightbulb tree?” “Was it ever mass produced?” “Is it in need of an overhaul?” “Did Gaijin change the lightbulb before us? “Do we need to compensate players for changing the lightbulb?” “Is it too modern or too strong for the general time frame?” “Does it require effort of the Lesta studio?”… Publicly they deny the need for the lightbulb to be reworked, a random EU dev called “lightbringer” refers to Storm having said a few days back in France that the lightbulb needed switching, but the man denies the information on the grounds that such a switch was never proposed, unnecesary, and Lightbringer is not a spokesperson for the company. After an article in a reputed blog called “For The Record” explaining with historical detail why should the lightbulb be fixed (supported by apocryphal stats datamined by a russian player) they figure out that the lightbulb does need to be switched but the company that can make them is in Cyprus and they buy the entire enterprise. After a while, a poster asks if the lightbulb was switched, and Storm says: “Its done when its done”

    6) It takes 7 WG devs to change a lightbulb; here’s how the process works:
    • Dev 1 proposes Lightbulb, and implements it in a patch.
    • Dev 2 realises the Lightbulb is insanely overpowered, and proposes nerfs in the next patch.
    • Dev 1 resists the nerfs, because the Lightbulb has already become his most played thing in the game.
    • Dev 2 goes to SerB and says it really *should* get nerfed, despite what Dev 1 says; Dev 1 stops talking to Dev 2.
    • Dev 3 realises the stats for Lightbulb have been wrong since the start anyway, and asks Yuri to go research the Lightbulb’s actual stats in the Munster Lightbulb Museum. The Munster Lightbulb Museum refuse to let him in after the nasty things he said about German Lightbulbs in his last book, so Yuri just makes up the stats anyway.
    • Dev 4 changes the sound the Lightbulb makes when it blows from ‘bink’ to the sound of a 16-inch shell from the USS Missouri exploding, because he thinks it sounds cool; this goes live in the patch, but since nobody has agreed on the stats for Lightbulb yet this is the only change.
    • Dev 3 posts on RU forums saying the sound should be more historically accurate; 50% of players say they like the new sound better, 40% say they preferred the old one, 10% hadn’t noticed that it had changed. Dev 4 stops talking to Dev 3.
    • Dev 5 gets the stats Yuri wrote on the back of a napkin on the train back from Munster, and implements this on the test server for the next patch; Dev 3 asks Dev 5 if he is tripping balls. Dev 5 joins Dev 4 in refusing to talk to Dev 3 any more.
    • Devs 1 and 2 make up, and start asking SerB what to do about Lightbulb now since results from the test server with Yuri’s stats show it can now solo a Maus, three Object 430-IIs, five Tier X artillery, a flight of Beaufighters and the US Fourth Carrier Group single-handed. SerB says “How terrible!” and re-implements the first set of Lightbulb stats along with its original sound; Devs 3, 4 and 5 stop talking to SerB.
    • Dev 6 accidentally reduces every stat of Lightbulb to 25% of its previous value in the second version of the patch after an all-night vodka-snorting binge; everyone except Devs 3, 4 and 5 agree this works better.
    • Dev 7 uncovers Bundesarchiv blueprints which show that it should have been a candle anyway, and removes Lightbulb from the tech tree altogether.
    • SerB has nervous breakdown.

    6. Well, lets have a look: First we need one of the developers, who will screw that lightbulb out and throw it in the trash. After that, SerB contacts the game rebalancing department and orders the director to take the sixth sense perk out of the game (SerB: “Finally!”) and materialize the bulb. A team consisting of 6 developers proceeds to handle the task. As soon as the work is done, SerB himself is going to put the bulb into place. But because the player base is very angry and unhappy about that decision and stopped paying for premium and gold, SerB is forced to put the bulb perk back into the game with the help of another team of game developers (so another 3 people).
    In the end, he sends one of his workers to the local DIY market, lets him buy one of the ordinary bulbs and prompts him to screw it in himself. So overall, thats 13 people (and “some” working time wasted).

Switching light bulbs is therefor unsupported by wargaming. Actually; modding of the light bulb will cause the electricity supply to break, please delete light bulb mods if you still want to have a working lamp.

    6. You need just one developer, who buys some new fancy LED bulb, which can be controlled with his phone. – However this lamp screws the whole electric installment up. Which then results in some big technical issues. Weighting repair up against building a new office, they decided for the last option. Several months later they got a new office building with a super cool LED bulb for every developer.

    6. It only takes one Serb to switch the light bulb. That is after Gajin steals the light bulb design, modifies it, and sells it for more. (First thought was to say that the staff would claim the light bulb is already working as intended, a Ctrl+F search showed 37 others said the same -__-)

    6) SerB and the entire balancing separtment :) Why? First they announce the switch which causes massive whine of the players. Then they delay it for an update. Then they switch it but it becomes too OP so SerB nerfs it with the mighty Rasp of Nerf after 10 updates or so. But then it’s unhistorical so they buff it again, but SerB isn’t happy so he uses the Rasp of Nerf again and nerfs the dev team so they can make it right. But they find out it’s made in Germany so SerB nerfs it again. Then it’s “Working as intended.” Now the light bulb awaits conversion to HD…. :D

First they need to check if they have power (1 week), then they need to check all the wires (2 weeks), then they try various new designs with the supertesters (2 weeks), then open beta starts and they decide that they don’t like the new light bulb (after 3 betas). A year later, they find the perfect bulb and change it in 1 day. But, WG EU doesn’t know how to turn it on :)

But to replace it with the new ones they first need to find a mass production method to make those bulbs, they dont care that all the people complain about the bulb and to keep them happy they just say it will come this year!

      The first notices the broken bulb, the second one reports it to the tihird one who screws in a lightbulb in his office and says; we didnt manage to confirm the bug , it works fine here, so you are all lying, we wont fix it.

Then the marketing department would make some fancy trailers showing how the light would look like and promise that it would come soon. After a few years WG would finally light a candle.

    6) The night was dark. The only light-source, the lightbulb in the Wargamings Office in Minsk was defect. The plot of Wargameings Arch-Enemy Gaijin was in full swing. Large Numbers of tomatoes, deers, crayfishs and walledwarriors were confused, because the lightbulb was their target to throw their money at, and with it’s absence they had no target for their money. Not long, and they would throw their money towads everyone with a halfway decent game, Gaijin’s chance for quick and easy wealth.
    There was no one, who could stop Gaijin from their villainous plan.
    But then, suddenly, there was a flash of light. Wargaming had known, that it was only a question of time till their enemys would sabotage them. The source of the light was spotlight, directed at the sky. It projects a smybol. It wasn’t a Nerf-Bat. It wasn’t a TOG II. It was THE DUCK! http://s1.directupload.net/images/131202/lkok4guo.png The Duck was standing on a nearby building. He rushed forward, useing his enormous speed to get to the Wargaming Office. But Gaijin’s henchman were allready waiting for them. They outnumbered him 3 to 1. One of them, a Panzer II Ausf. C, tryed to outmanouver our hero, rammed an hydrant, catched fire and stoped dead in his tracks. Another one, a russian T-28 with 76mm Howitzer shot. The time froze as his shell flew in slow motion throug the air towards our hero. But luckely, his shell ricochets of the right hand side of the Ducks upper frontal plate. Our Heros retort, his shell were made out of the rare element „Stronkium“, detached his foes turret. But the last of Gijins Henchman send a cold shower down the Ducks engine compartment. It was a colossal KV, armed with a 107mm gun. Our Hero knows, that his doom was inevitable. But then, out of a dark corner, there came a masked stranger. He ran towards the KV, jumped on top of it and lifted his cape. He was no stranger, he was the allmighty SerB, in his hand his trusty Nerf-File. He stuck the KV-1s turret with it, where upon it started to crumble. Parts of the armor fell to the ground, whereup they disintegrate. In the place of it’s former turret, there was now a smaller one, equipped with a 76mm gun. Before anyone could react, SerB muttered something like „Nerf for historical reasons“ before he vanished. Our Hero shot another of his Stronkium-Shells into the Kvs track, where it bounced on one of the roadweels, where upon it pierced the fuel tank. The KV burst into flames. The way was now free for the Duck.
    He reached the lightbulb mere seconds before the timer on the right upper corner reached zero. He screwed it back into place with a well aimed HE-Shell.
    Suddenly, the whole city was diped in light. All the tomatoes, deers, crayfishes and walledwarriors had their light back, so they could throw money at it forever. Our Hero had saved the day. But the Duck was long gone. In Reverse, he had headed for his secret layer, to emerge again whenever Wargaming needs his help.
    The End.

And then the lightbulb is causing a blackout in the whole Minsk, and massive lags for the rest players from EU. :)

    6. In soviet Russia, light bulb switches you!
    But really, first, SerB to start doing anything, then a team of trained monkeys to design the new light bulb. Then a team of untrained monkeys to patch around the errors, but really just monkey around and do nothing. Then an IT guy to actually do the switching. THEN another team of BBVs to ban everyone complaining about how shitty the new light bulb is. So, in total, about 30 monkeys (7 of them BigBadVuk), 10 people, and SerB, which is neither. It’s a new species, actually.

    6 – it takes a group of devs and some testers, because 1st they switch a smaller light bulb on, in a smaller room, like a test room (test server), after a few people look at the light to see if it is ok they switch it off and on again in the same small room (test server faze 2). After that they switch the light on in the normal room where everyone has access and they notice they used a fluorescent bulb that makes working in that environment awkward and “laggy”

    6. I guess 10, one wants to nerf the lightbulb, because it was to bright, second will buff it because it is does not give enough light. Next two won’t do a thing because one believes it hangs near the ceiling so the sattelite view makes it inappropriate for the room, other one beacuse his test proven no damage to the bulb. The fifth one works for WG EU so he started to change the bulb in other room, the sixth did nothing but offered to change two lightbulbs for first entrance to the room. Seventh was a Polish translator and run away, because he thought he would have to change a bulb each time when anyone succesfully enters the room. The eight one doesn’t change the bulb directly but promises to prepare it for multiswitch support. The ninth one postpones changing for the next month saying the bulb has some rebalancing issues. The tenth claims he knows WT GF has working light bulbs but is not sure whether players really need it. After all SerB comes and says the bulb works as intended.

Of course Storm uses the standard tactics and denies, because everything is “working as intended” and changing anything would cost them at least! 6 months time. After some time, one of the developers finds the broken lightbulb and replaces it in 5 minutes. Storm in his pompatic announcement admits: “Yes, there was a bug but we fixed it” = “we did what we were supposed to do at the start but we are not gonna admit to a screw up anyway.

    WG tests did not discover any problems with the server lightbulb screwing mechanism, it is working fine. There are no bugs with it, players who have issues should check their PC, remove mods, etc.

    Screwing of light bulbs by users is considered by Wargaming, but no promises. IF they decide to implement it, it will come “when it’s ready”. Not many players want a lightbulb screwing mechanism controlled by users implemented and only a few tanks will benefit from it.

Eventually, down the line and after many have complained (And data has been gathered of it’s malfunction), all bulbs in the building will be changed so that the malfunctioning one is brought to the same level of the other bulbs.

    6) Zero. The light bulb never gets changed. Instead, WG spends 2 years developing their own brand-new type of light bulb, which is supposedly to have “extra shiny light” and “improved lighting of open spaces”. Then, after 3 years of development ( hehe), once it’s ready it turns out it is incompatible with with majority of light bulb sockets so they have to come up with a number of tweaks and construct an adapter for the light bulb to fit. After that, the light bulb performs worse than the old one, so “it’s working as intended”

    24 to hold the candle for the lookouts
    1 to infiltrate Gaijin to find out if Gaijin is going to spy on them switching the lightbulb
    1 to hold the candle for the person infiltrating Gaijin
    25 for the paperwork
    24 to hold the candle for the 25 doing the paperwork (25 is more comfortable, but in theory they can do it with 24)
    2 to dispose of the body in case a developper gets killed during the switching
    2 to hold the candle for the 2 responsible of disposing the bodies
    1 to write a report about the lightbulb being switched
    1 to hold a candle for the developper writing the report
    For the switching itself, you can use 1 of the previously mentioned developpers, BUT you still need 2 extra developers to hold the candle for the person doing the actual switching of the lightbulb.

    In case you have questions about answer 6: I’ve told you how many and why that many, not why it would make any sense. I mean, how can the need of 130 developpers just to switch a lightbulb make any sense?

    None. They’ll buy lightbulb factory to make one lightbulb and employ electrician. He has to test that lightbulb in privacy on his desk if it lights. Then he has to invite some friends (also electricians) to test it “in privacy”, if it also lights. He also has to make a public test for all employes in company, but in different room, if it also lights here. Finally he can install it on its place. ………… After months of using and tracking he has to nerf it for too much light (with a hammer).
