I'd be a pirate, because everybody knows that a ninja's number 1 weakness is water.
And I'd train my parrot to pluck out their eyes.
And I'd train my parrot to pluck out their eyes.
I chose ninjas because I know that if I chose pirates I would have to try to mimic Jack Sparrow or something. I acually had to make this choice in AdventureQuest, the free MMORPG, and I chose the Ninjas because the Ninja chick was hot. That, and the idea of being a pirate and getting scruvy is not too appealing.
At that point, why not be all three at once and destroy both armies with my mightyness? Maybe add some cyborg in there too.Eoin Livingston said:
Nonsense. I tought we talked about traditional Ninjas and Pirates. If we take into account the Golden Age of piracy and Ninjas, it would overlap right about between 1550 - 1650. This would be the Sengoku period in Japan, just before the establishment of the Tokugawa Shogunate, which is also the time Japan was introduced to Firearms - the matchlock aquebus. So, traditinal Ninjas would have a chance to get some guns, although a very slim chance. Pirates were much better armed, they had way more experience with firearms, they know how to effectivly use them in battle (especially Spanish pirates as most served in Tercios before) and Pirates had access to technologically superior firearms. Ninjas, even if they had some, couldn't realy train in the use of firearms, without drawing attention, which defeats the purpose of Ninjas. So Pirates win.The_ModeRazor said:
But, if we want to use fantasy Pirates and Ninjas, then, both have a even chance - Ninjas with their immunity to death, gravity, fatigue and bullets, and Pirates with their awsomeness, magic, curses , will and romantic spirit - romantic heros always win. Pirates win again. Narrowly. But note that Pirates are not the heros portrayed in romantic novels. They would most likely stab the Ninja from behind. Then rape him. And still his stuff. While looking awsome. And suffering a terminal illness.
Pirates have wenches and mead and know how to party,. Ninjas just skulk about jacking off in the bushes. Pirates FTW.
Pirates because they would win. Gunpowder simply beats steel. That is why the gun replaced the sword.
But seriously, pirates were just a bunch of drunk tossers on rickety ships. Usually they went home and were knighted for their heroic actions of stealing crap from the commercial supply vessels of other nations.
Ninjas were poor people who finally realized they could have the stones to stand up to those cocky samurai jerks, and they did this by hiring out to said jerks in exchange for life-threatening work sneaking around and stealing evidence from people's homes. And sometimes poisoning/stabbing somebody after/during sex. It fairly well-established that they couldn't even fight as well as samurai, hence why they have so many techniques for running away and climbing stuff.
