Guest Agaib Posted August 15, 2007 Report Posted August 15, 2007 I love how open ended this question is personally. Just pick one, you can interpret it as "who would win in a fight" "who is cooler" or even "which has been played in movies by cooler actors." Personally, I'd go with pirates. EDIT: Feel free to argue and push your opinions on others in a playful way, that's what the Pirates vs. Ninjas debate is all about. Quote
DarkCabaret Posted August 15, 2007 Report Posted August 15, 2007 Pirates!! Nothing is better than a scruffy mangy pirate Arrrrrrrgh! Quote
Guest Big Samurai Posted August 15, 2007 Report Posted August 15, 2007 Considering my user name, you can guess how I voted. Do be aware that Vikings trump both ninja and pirates, though. Quote
Leonhart29 Posted August 15, 2007 Report Posted August 15, 2007 I voted Pirates - but honestly? I prefer Spartans myself. Quote
ladydeathfaerie Posted August 15, 2007 Report Posted August 15, 2007 Considering my user name, you can guess how I voted.

Guest Alien Pirate Pixagi Posted August 16, 2007 Report Posted August 16, 2007 Considering my user name, you can guess how I voted. Do be aware that Vikings trump both ninja and pirates, though. Um... Vikings WERE pirates, they were the FIRST pirates.... But, yeah, voted pirates! I lerv the pirate life, the adventure, the theft, the blood, and the high seas... I feel I was born the wrong gender in the wrong century... Quote
Guest Agaib Posted August 16, 2007 Report Posted August 16, 2007 Its odd, all of My friends at home tend to vote ninjas. While here at the forum, pirates appear to be much favored. Pitates rule because they have Captain Jack Sparrow. What do Ninjas have? No one! Quote
foeofthelance Posted August 16, 2007 Report Posted August 16, 2007 I voted ninjas. Seriously, why be a pirate? You're hunted by everyone and their mother, you have to contend with scurvy, you go to bed praying you won't end up the chief's mate... Ok, some people here might volunteer for that last bit, but still! Look at the Ninja on the otherhand. Feared by everyone and their little dog too. You get spiffy looking black outfits. (Black goes with everything, even the blood of your enemies!) You get all sorts of training, can learn some sweet moves, even discounting the stuff made up for TV, and when the job is done you can go home to your sweetheart, no problems. Oh, and you always get paid if you did the job, because if you did the job you're too dangerous not to pay! Um... Vikings WERE pirates, they were the FIRST pirates.... Actually, they were just regular raiders, though rather hardcore ones. I don't think they had any particular focus on hitting caravans or even other ships, and actually preferred hitting land based targets. They just traveled by ship is all. Probably makes them the first Marines instead... Quote
DarkCabaret Posted August 16, 2007 Report Posted August 16, 2007 Pitates rule because they have Captain Jack Sparrow. What do Ninjas have? No one! Ninjas have ............. turtles? Quote
Guest Big Samurai Posted August 16, 2007 Report Posted August 16, 2007 They have Hattori Hanzo and Fuuma Kotaro if one is looking at history. In terms of how they appear in the media, ninja have many key figures. Quote
Leonhart29 Posted August 16, 2007 Report Posted August 16, 2007 You know - out of the two I prefer pirates as stated before - but above them all - I'll take a Death God ... erm .... Shinigami ... or however you spell it. (Can you tell I've been watching too much Bleach?) Quote
EveKnight75 Posted August 16, 2007 Report Posted August 16, 2007 Neither. Their mothers trump all. Quote
madlodger Posted August 17, 2007 Report Posted August 17, 2007 Pirates never bathe, exept dunking in the ocean. And they drink a way too much. Quote
Guest Agaib Posted August 17, 2007 Report Posted August 17, 2007 That makes them ALL the more charming! Quote
StoryJunkie Posted August 17, 2007 Report Posted August 17, 2007 Of course, I voted, Amazon! (Keith ought to like this one!) Quote
Guest Alien Pirate Pixagi Posted August 17, 2007 Report Posted August 17, 2007 OMG, yes, death gods... Ninjas have Naruto... and Kakashi... And Gaara, yummm... Pirates have Zoro, Jack Sparrow, Elizabeth Turner, Luffy, Mal Reynolds (yes, I'm counting space pirates), Gene Starwind, and Jayne Cobb. And, you know, I have know idea why I even had to state my love, it should be obvious... And if I chose Ninja I'm sure Cain would have his inbox full of inquiries as to my whereabouts and whether or not someone hacked my account... Quote
StoryJunkie Posted August 17, 2007 Report Posted August 17, 2007 (I really voted ninja) (I forgot about Luffy, and look at my silly avatar! You think I'd know better!!! Sorry Sanji!! You're still my favorite pirate, please don't let it spoil your joy of cooking!) Quote
ZombieDuke Posted August 17, 2007 Report Posted August 17, 2007 I voted Pirates because of the Chinese Pirate: "Chen I Sao" or "Ching Shih" Between her and her husband, they created a confederation which included 50,000 pirates under they're command. This woman went from a prostitute in Canton to be co-ruling THE biggest pirate fleets in the world. Not to mention taking upon the Chinese Navy twice (I got that info from the book Under the Black Flag The Romance and Reality of Life Among the Pirates by David Cordingly. Dear god I love this book! Morgan was the fucking engergizer bunny!) Quote
Nanaea Posted August 17, 2007 Report Posted August 17, 2007 I voted pirates of course. Pirates are sexier - ninjas are just plain scary! Quote
Guest Serenanna Posted August 17, 2007 Report Posted August 17, 2007 ::shakes her fist:: Ninjas, damnit! They got 1000+ plus ways to kill you before you even know it! And they can get away with it! What do pirates got? Guns, cutlasses, cannons, bad food, hangings, and sea sickness. Ninjas - We do it quickly, quietly, and from behind. Sere PS. What more do you need in awesomeness than Kakashi, Ryu Hayabusa, Aoishi, and Mai? Quote
Guest Agaib Posted August 17, 2007 Report Posted August 17, 2007 But PIRATES have cooler accents! Ninjas don't! Quote
Guest Big Samurai Posted August 17, 2007 Report Posted August 17, 2007 A ninja needs no accent. He lets his actions speak for him, and, to each person, they speak but once. *samurai yell* Quote
StoryJunkie Posted August 18, 2007 Report Posted August 18, 2007 but pirates do stuff with treasure! Quote
ZombieDuke Posted August 18, 2007 Report Posted August 18, 2007 And there aren't that many Space Ninja's... are there? Quote
Guest Evil_Labs Posted August 18, 2007 Report Posted August 18, 2007 If you've played Disgaea, you know that the ultimate threat in the universe is when NINJA PIRATES appear. Quote
