Dragons

[varsaigen]

=D I saw another dragon fan group that had a simular greeting. It just made it wierder. Now we have a better one!

 

[Pyritie]

PYRITIE got rid of the RAWR greeting? Nice

Nope. :B

It looks like the social groups got a cleanup, so someone else must've changed it. I changed it back

 

[varsaigen]

XD awesome.

 

[Dr Super Good]

Its called Werewulf (Kimberly) becomming a social group moderator. I would say it most likly was her who changed it.

And just to keep this about dragons.
If you could choose to be a type of dragon, what would it be?
1. Anthromorphic (eg.)
2. Standard Wild (usual image of wild dragon, often hunting alone and more like a wild animal)
3. Standard Domesticated (usually domesticated by more "advanced" races, often being used for war)
4. Unique (One of a kind dragon with no other members in your species leaving you free to do what you wish (weather its killing mindlessly or administrating justice as some unknown force))

I would go with 2 or 4 as they most likly would be great fun. Also it would not suffer from all the curroption that most advanced races do (or are shown to).

 

[varsaigen]

Wild blue Storm Dragon. I have a great pic of it here. Lord of Storms and summoner of elemental beings. Also very very adept at magic.

 

[Pyritie]

2, but with a big enough brain to have some good intelligence

 

[Misha]

Unique archon/dragon hybrid. immortal white and compasionate (healing the land)

Edit: RAwr: PYRITIEeh NOOOOOOO (cry)

 

[Misha]

EXELLENT ^^ now we have a good welcoming message ^^

 

[varsaigen]

=D Excellent! So, what shall we do today? =) Rawr!

 

[Misha]

Dragon Dance!

 

[Dr Super Good]

Its about time for a new question to keep this group together.

If you were a dragon, would you. . .
1. Be a herbivour (eat only plant matter).
2. An omnivour (eat both plant and animal matter).
3. A carnivour (eat only animal matter).
4. Never eat anything organic (get energy to live throu other methods weather spiritual or scientific).

And if you are 2 or 3, would you refrain from eating people or other dragons (if there were any).

Yes this question is wierd but really its a question everyone who has thought of being a dragon at one point should have thought about.

I personally think dragons would fall into 3 and partly into 2 (eating some plants for improtant chemicals). However the whole concept of dragons is far fetched enough that maybe they could get their energy via other means.

 

[DarkIron Dwarf]

I say 3 and eat all animals his includes humans because humans are still a animal.

 

[varsaigen]

3 with a partial 2. Cats and dogs eat grass to get Vitamins they otherwise wouldn't get, so why not dragons?

 

[Misha]

only 2 ^^ it would pain me to eat a man ^^

 

[DarkIron Dwarf]

Fine just picture the man george bush

 

[varsaigen]

D: please don't bring politics into this. >< I'll just imagine Obama and Hillary. XD

 

[Misha]

Obama Burn>>>> Hillary Devour Rawr!

 

[varsaigen]

>=D As much as I would enjoy the endless torment I could give, I'm going to avoid the bringing of politics into here.

Question: Would you eat sheep?

 

[Hakeem]

Considering how good they taste, I don't see why not.

 

[varsaigen]

I wouldn't just eat them, I'd roast them. Otherwise, the wool gets stuck in my teeth. :/

 

[Dr Super Good]

I get a feeling dragons would rather eat humans than eat sheep. As sharks, crockadiles and lions have proven.

 

[DarkIron Dwarf]

Wait so......Oh Crap...

 

[varsaigen]

chicken. Chicken and Steak is the way to go. I'd just have to raid the local town, er... I mean grocery store to get the supplies including seasonings. ^ ^

 

[Misha]

I rather eat small animals, 'cause then humans would hunt me as a wolf or other pests. and then they would be wtfpwned.

 

[DarkIron Dwarf]

If you were very smart you could go against humans but careful of tanks and such.

 

[varsaigen]

destroy their crops, bring a plague, won't have to worry about them. XD

 

[Dr Super Good]

Humans would hunt you anyway for your DNA and other such things that they could exploit so you would just be benifiting from the situation. Ofcourse if they were nice to you you should not eat them but concidering if they were hungry they would not think about not eating you, why should you?

 

[varsaigen]

great point. Besides, ig you strike up relations with a nation, they might exploit your powers and abilities, or take you into a lab and keep you, go back on promises, o kill you if you aren't of any use anymore. Or, they might be nice or even treat you as a god! =D

Me? I wouldn't mind being thought of as a storm entity of devine origin by my subjects (I would claim a kingdom and develop it )

 

[DarkIron Dwarf]

Russia would use your powers i would be ok with it as long as i got to carry a Soviet flag and have it spray painted on me!

 

[varsaigen]

I would create my own empire with me as the devine ruler and lord of storms (of course) I don't know why members of the hive seem to have a facination with communism. If you were a peasant in a communist society, you would most likely be very very unhappy.

 

[Dr Super Good]

In a true comnunist society, you would be equal no matter who you were, but real cominuism is not true cominuism thou.

 

[varsaigen]

agreed. Besides, a society where everyone would be equal would quickly crumble. Because you need leaders and followers in any society.

 

[Dr Super Good]

Only due to the way humans work. Idealy it would not crumble as everyone would be happy. It would be a demorcracy more than any democracy that currently exists. However humanity can not create such societys due to greed.

 

[varsaigen]

agreed. It's sad that no perfect world exists. But we are able to get as close to it as possible.

 

[Masiah]

Mind you, this is not Political Hive. xD

 

[Misha]

agreed ^^ I would just sit and watch the kingdoms rize and fall and ocasiounaly, help a few individuals get married or such ^^

 

[varsaigen]

D: And where would they have their honeymoon? inside you? XD

 

[Dr Super Good]

Well I do not believe dragons would get married, as marriage is purly a legal / religious thing invented by humans to show who the women is property of (less so nowdays but still the case in the middle east).

Dragons as they technically do not fall under the human justice and legal system, would not need to get married. Ofcourse they might quite well choose a mate which they stick with until the end of their lives as some lizards are known to do just that. During this I dought a cermony would be preformed and it would probably be quite spontanious after a while however they might quite well wear jewulary to show whos their mate is.

 

[DarkIron Dwarf]

Yeah creatures decide mates not marriges.

 

[varsaigen]

and Misha said he would help some couples get married. He never specified they were dragons. And I understood it as human couples.

 

[Misha]

ya ^^
and i would place them in my devine realm for a honeymoon ^^ that is inside my hearth (metaphoricly speakin')

 

[RaijinSpark]

why don't you upload more pics??

 

[Dr Super Good]

As a dragon, would you be warm blooded or cold blooded?

I would probably have to say cold blooded as it makes the whole dragon idea seem more reptile like and less bird like.

 

[CRAZYRUSSIAN]

Man dragons are dinosaurs !

 

[Pyritie]

Warm blooded > cold blooded.

Just look at how much better mammals are at surviving

 

[varsaigen]

agreed. Besides, my electricity powers would be able to warm up my storm/home as I fly through it. Not to mention my cave.

 

[Dr Super Good]

Warm blooded does however mean that it goes through atleast twice the food than something of equal size that is colded blooded due to the speeded up matabolisim (wasting a lot more of the energy as heat). Also other affects might included shortening of life span and having to ware cloths to keep warm in cold conditions.

Also it is pretty obvious that an ice dragon would be cold blooded, as there is no point in even trying to warm its body up if it lives in cold conditions.

Also mammals are surviving, but are they surviving long? Remember that reptiles still have out lived humans which I think are the longest living mammals. While the tortoise who has lived throu the birth of over 7 billion people (it was around to witness the birth of every single human who is currently alive) is still healthy and living fine, humans barly live to 100 with the total population of humans on this planet over that age probabably being a million or 2 or less. Thus is there a coloration between orgnisims being warm blooded and having shortened life expectancies or is it some other cause?

 

[DarkIron Dwarf]

He does bring many questions to thought.

 

[varsaigen]

yeah, but what if we have elemental powers. my control over storms would be able to warm the area I'm in, up...

 

[Pyritie]

Lol, more than a million people over 100? I'd think it was more like a thousand.

And seriously, if dragons did exist they wouldn't have any "special powers" or whatever. Sure, fantasy's fine now and again, but if they were real, they'd just be large flying lizards. :3
