The long lost Reference nobody got, I think; hiss!

10. There's lots of secrets in the game, many that we will unveil as we continue to develop the world. However there is one that players see every day that so far as we've seen, no one has ever figured it out. Curious!

I think I found it hiss.

We see lots of things when we log into Spiral knights, and many of those things have changed over the years.

However, the one constant is the Three rings logo, hiss.

A little digging turned up this.

"In Tolkien's legendarium, the Three Rings are magical artifacts forged by the Elves of Eregion. After the One Ring, they are the most powerful of the twenty Rings of Power.

The Three Rings were created by Celebrimbor after Sauron, in the guise of Annatar, had left Eregion. These Rings of Power were free of Sauron's influence, as he did not have a hand in their making; however they were still forged by Celebrimbor with the arts taught to him by Sauron and thus were still bound to the One Ring. Upon perceiving Sauron's intent, the Elves hid the three from him. They were carried out of Middle-earth at the end of the Third Age, after the destruction of the One Ring."

Note the programming packages found in Threering's github, if you will, hiss.

Narya, Nenya, Vilya, and Clyde: a collection of Java tools and frameworks useful for making games, 2D and 3D, networked and otherwise.

Clyde appears to be a South Park Reference to a Lord of the rings parody, hiss.

The Company Logo is a big shout out to lord of the rings! who knew, hiss!

I have no mouth and I need to scream

With all this hissing someone needs to spray you with water, methinks.

And Nick revealed the secret in the thread, nice thought process though. :x

I think spraying him with water will give him an even more hissyfit. Don't do it.

EDIT: Upon checking the thread it doesn't seem that anyone found #10, And Nick's response revealing it is nowhere to be found.
So.. iunno where it is.

http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/24841#comment-150180 I don't see Nick saying anything about how wrong this is. Annnd no one noticed it until the comment appeared. Tue, 09/20/2011 - 21:13 #16 Nick

The times make sense as well. It took some time, but someone figured it a month later. I messed up saying nick said it himself in the same thread, but it was in another one. You can take this as you will, but I'm pretty sure this is the 10th.

That is no proof that it's

That is no proof that it's Nick's #10. Absolutely NO proof. Why? Because that thread has nothing to do with Nick's #10. Also, this is proof it's not Nick's #10.

I'm not really sure why people started assuming that was Nick's #10 to begin with...

@ Blazz

Oh yes, I did see that explanation of the clockworks and level design. I also saw that Nick said it wasn't number 10, though. Glad that's cleared up.

The Logo is the only thing I can think of that all knights are guaranteed to see upon login, without any variation. Something tells me that theres something else though, hiss.

You know, I always thought those snipes in haven acted weird...following you around and going up to you...as if they were controlled or something.

Snipes are, without a doubt:

robotic spybirds created by King Tinkinzar as a means of perpetuating the foul corruption known as the swarm; hiss.

Obviously. why else would something be that adorable.

Cheese!

When ever someone mistakes the find pixeljoy found for the answer to Nick's #10, I feel the urge to link the comment that disproves it. But by then, someone has already done the job for me. I do wonder if we will ever find out what that secret is.

I don't remember Nick ever revealing the secret in the thread. He said the way the CWs work is not #10
