The age-old question: Is it cooler to be a pirate or a ninja?

Teuthida · 02-03-2006, 07:07 AM

And I misspelled cooler as "coller." *sigh*

CAD? lol...

my vote would be a pirate ninja, but that was to be expected. and yet....i don't see an option for that.

Ninja........ unless I could be Jack Sparrow.

Well lets add it up:

Pirate

Pros:
Parrot
Tattoos of loose women you met in Milan and the Barbary Coast
Swords
Cool outfit
Cannons
Gold Doubloons
A Ship to Command
The Open Sea
Fame
A life of self-defined adventure

Cons:
Fake leg, but that could be cool I guess
Scurvy
Long voyages with no females (bad luck)
Mortal peril from Her Majesty's Fleet

Ninjas

Pros:
Silent killing machine
Cool outfit
Swords
Throwing stars
Nunchukus (well, I would have them, as they rock)

Cons:
Life of constant training
Anonimity
No Cannons (yes, not having them is a con)
Mortal peril from Samurai
A life of being told what to do and who to kill

I honestly don't think its even close. Pirates rule all.

As for the Samurai, a pirate would just Indiana Jones his ass. Samurai comes running with a sword, pirate pulls his pistol and blows him to kingdom come. Then the pirate would say something devilishly clever and get loaded on rum and opium. I repeat: Pirates Rule All.

I was wondering when someone would bring this one up.

I was on the fence about my choice until the S-Man made such a convincing arguement.

I agree, and I also have a bit of an eyepatch fetish. Also, in Shogun by James Clavell, Blackthorne was totally a pirate even though he denied it. He became a samurai and evaded ninja attacks!

A pirate's life for me.

DimHalo · 02-03-2006, 05:36 PM

Well my vote would be pirate but I accidentally clicked the wrong one.

I think personally I would want to be a ninja, but i think pirates are sexier.

I transferred your vote. Waharrrr! I also fixed "coller".

Canyarion · 02-03-2006, 06:06 PM

Do you recommend reading Shogun?

Fox 6 · 02-03-2006, 06:06 PM

Everyone knows that wizards are far superior to anything.

Yes yes and yes. The main character is also half-dutch if you find that intriguing.

GameMaster · 02-03-2006, 07:59 PM

Need you even ask? Pirate!

Maddox will destory all ninjas!

Well I disagree, I mean look at Soul Calibur's 2 intro.

Ninja's are cooler, once they don't have to take orders.
