*Cue epic music start*

You should have acted.

They're already here.

The Forums told of their return.

Their defeat was merely a delay..

Til the time after Shadow Lair opened,

When the Knights of Cradle would spill their own blood.

But no-one wanted to believe.

Believe they even existed..

And when the truth finally dawns...

It dawns in fire.

But,

There's one they fear.

In their tongue, he is RAAARRRGGGRRHH* *Dragons can't talk, silly

Dragon Bjorn!

Ok, Skyrim parodying aside, I'm essentially suggesting a Dragon-themed T3 content expansion, or series of levels of some kind. It wouldn't be that far-fetched either, we already have gear in the game made from wolvers, chromalisks, undead, etc. and there are monsters to match each theme. All but the dragon-scale series of gear.

Think about it, the possible dragon weapons, Dragon Bjorn gear (j/k maybe), etc. it'd be awesome.

Yes, we all get the reference. I can use a reference, too.

Elder Scrolls would not like Spiral Knights stealing their thunder.

Dragon enemies have been attempted before but suffered the same issue this thread has: no content other than "we should have it". Yes, Dragon Scale exists. Yes, Chromalisk lines appear somewhat similar to it. Yes, we have lizard enemies. What are you going to do about it? "I want it"? "We should have it because we should"? No, you get off the couch and drop the bag of chips then get to work on designing the enemy. Mechanics of combat, basic AI patterns, behavior against different weapons, resistances, damage dealt, weaknesses, why the community would want it, what does Three Rings get out of this; I can go on for several paragraphs with this list. "It would be awesome" is not a valid argument to support new content. "It would be awesome" is what people use when they have no idea how the game works and think everyone else is there to do it fore them. "It would be awesome" has almost always resulted in the thread being shot down because the original poster has no original content to add to the idea, which is normally not original to begin with as this is. "It would be awesome" is like going to a bakery and using the icing tool to spray into your nostril while riding a unicycle upside down with your hands on the pedals and your feet up your b-

"Luguiru, this is your conscience. No naughty language in this forum."

Shut up, I know the voices in my head are plotting a surprise birthday party for me. I also know where the presents are hidden.

"Wait, we can sort this out!"

No. This is over. The surprise is ruined.

"What? No, I meant what you were about to do for this thread."

What do you mean?

"I see the rubber chicken behind your back. I am your conscience, I know all."

Nur hur.

"Yur hur. I can see it right there."

Nur hur.

"That is the last straw young man, go to your room."

You are not the boss of me.

"Yes I am, I am your conscience. You have to listen to me."

You lie. I have no conscience.

"Oh, right. What am I doing here, then?"

You were going to tell me where the funk is at.

"Did you check your other pants?"

You know I never keep the funk in my pockets. That would mean less space for keeping lobsters in there.

"Why do you have lobsters in your pockets?"

If I kept crabs in there it would raise questions.

"And lobsters would not?"

You know too much.

"I know nothing, yet I know everything you do; I am your conscience, remember?"

I have no conscience. Your existence is false. Science says so.

"Shi-"

Punk.

Where was I? What was I doing here? Never mind, there is no sense crying over every mistake. We can just keep on trying until we run out of cake. When the science gets done and we make a neat gun we can use it on the people who are still alive.

Oh, please; to be titled insane now would be an insult to past silliness and walrus related shenanigans.

Luguiru basically said it in his first post, but since that post also contained an only tangentially related dialogue, I'll put this out here.

Your suggestion contains zero content. How is anyone supposed to respond to it properly unless you provide details? If you need some examples of better explained content, look here and here. Know that I expect to get a respectable wall of text from you before you get a respectable response from me.

Wow, feeling the love here, haha, but on a serious note I'd like to make a couple of things clear.

This topic was both a suggestion of new content (yes, in only the vaguest of ways, just because it doesn't have details doesn't mean the idea itself is not worth any merit, but your opinion may differ and thats ok, love and tolerate), and what I had hoped would reach out to some people and tickle their funny bone. I actually thank both Luguiru and Manalicious-Knight for their criticism, it may have been roughly delivered (my opinion, you may disagree, once again its cool), but I look at it as a challenge. The real question is, do I want to take the time to flesh out all the possibilities of a dragon-themed expansion of T3 content and have our fellow forum-goers critique and discuss my ideas? Maybe. I know the old "I have a life/job/school/blah blah and can't do something like that" card has been played and abused before, but.. I am kind of busy in my life.

Soo I leave it to the Spiral Knights community, do what you will with this simple idea/joke of mine, shoot you guys could probably think of cooler details than I could, but just remember, in the Forum Rules it DOES say:
"Be excellent to each other. Keep your posts respectful and polite. Disagreement is fine, but scratching, biting, and hair pulling is not allowed."

But it doesn't say that all posted suggestions have to be detailed extensively.

Lets be "excellent to each other", ok?

I am going to summarize your posts in one sentence:

"Do the work for me."

Our problem is not with you personally, but your lack of effort; any moron could have done this and expect the same results you do, including myself. However, I commit to what I work on in spite of business I tend to. Does this mean to drop everything for this forum? No, do it when you have time; if you do not have time, do not waste the time of others.

This is essentially throwing a rock into a lake and expecting no one to call you out on it. No, this thread is not a joke; dragons could be a viable subject. The joke is your lack of effort. "But Luguiru, I want users like you to do all the work for me." That is not how things work around here. I made a few exceptions in the past because the originator was willing to put in the effort, but if you are not willing to do so this subject is not worth pursuing in this thread.

The rules are more or less guidelines for user behavior. This forum is monitored by admins but that does not mean they will act as police or protect individual users from the community. Have users been punished for breaking the rules in the past? Yes. Was it for anything as "severe" as what has occurred in this thread thus far? In comparison, we are playing patty cake. Normally an admin will only step in when cursing or blatant flaming occurs, which often occur in the same response by the original poster raging because the community rejects their incompetence. Does this mean you are incompetent? No, but you have given implicit reason to believe you are not willing to delegate effort to this concept and therefore are unfit to have created this thread.

Either move this thread to the graveyard, provide your content, or take the axe imminently coming.

Dude, you gotta at least give us something to work with, please. I could just as easily say I want there to be an expansion based on Jesus because we have angelic things.

Naturally, a couple of questions are going to come to mind when I suggest this, including these:
What are levels going to look like?
What would Jesus do?

I understand your life may be busy, but surely you must have some basic thoughts on how this whole thing would work.
