That's the great thing about being a pirate: You can do what you want.
A pirate wants to dress in black, kill people with cool weapons, and take a bath? A pirate does all of that.
You're in the wrong neighborhood to be dissin' on pirates, ya scallywag!
You forget the inverse law of ninja. The less ninja there are, the more powerful they are. ;-)
Pirates cant do what they want entirely at all. You piss off the Captain, you're dead. You're the captain and you piss of your crew? you're dead. :-p
Nah pirates don't take baths. That culture believed in that "humors" crap where they believed dirt and such actually protected you. It's a rather interesting if gross belief.
It's talk like a pirate day. We need to play on today of all days.
You forget the inverse law of ninja. The less ninja there are, the more powerful they are.
That's a negative, not a positive.
Suppose you have one Sarutobi of ninjutsu to go around. That is, the standard measuring unit of ninjutsu, equal to the ability of legendary ninja Sarutobi Sasuke. If you have 100 ninjas, then they each have one centi-Sarutobi of ninjutsu.
Pirates have no such effect. If you have Blackbeard, possessing one Blackbeard of piracy, and then add 99 lesser pirates, who each posess, for the sake of calculations, one centi-Blackbeard of piracy, you have 1.99 Blackbeards' worth of pirate power.
Thus, ninjas do not grow powerful in numbers, whereas pirates do.
Pirates are also far more versatile. Ninjas have stealth and precision.
Some pirates have brute strength. Others have stealth and precision. Others have social skills. Others have skill with firearms. Others have voodoo and pirate curses.
The potential skillset of a group of pirates is far wider than that of a group of ninjas.
Ahem... vikings.
That is all.
Completely untrue on the ninja thing. So you'd need a bunch of pirates to be powerful whereas you'd only need 1 ninja to kick some ass with the inverse law, which btw is a JOKE. And even if it were not it would be far more stealthy to have one guy whose power grows if he's just by himself wouldn't it?
Ninja can indeed have brute strength and social skills considering often ninja would have to pretend to be something they were not and gather information on enemies and cause confusion. Ninja would use explosives sometimes to cause sabotauge. ninja would use poisons as well, unarmed fighting skills, even guns. There is also ninja magic if we are going fantasy and in pathfinder itself Ninja have chi.
So what were you saying about ninja having not a lot of options?
Pirates have parrots. Parrots are awesome. That is all. Do ninjas have pets that talk? Nope. Instant pirate victory.
Also if ninjas are better than pirates then why is there a pirate adventure path but not a ninja one? Huh? Huh?
There is. Jade Regent.
Ninja don't need a talking pet to score points. That's a crutch to fill a void for the pirate. :-p
Where is the Cap'N? He keeps coming and going. :-(
This has been a ghost ship for too long! Wheres the Cap'N? He ok?
I haven't the faintest clue. :c
MUNTINY!
Bueller?
Dinsdale.
Did this game die or something?
Posting to deactivate the 'inactive' status! Look for posts soon, as cheesy as it sounds! :)
Also, did anyone else get booted for about an hour or so around midnight (East coast USA time,)? Kind of made me want to throw a baby squid at my laptop, considering the fact that I was ready to post and now I'm just doing short replies to nearly every campaign and offering commentary, as well as re-reviewing things.
Always save thy work into notepad...
I was saving posting until I could see what any new posts read. Then the site was down until like an hour or so ago. Since it's rather late, I'm just taking this time to review things and make small talk before bed.
Ze gameplay eez up!
And I haz responded!
Excellent!
As have I.
GM I believe it's best to drop Rhuun, he just won't mythicize real well...
You want to drop him? Why is that?
I believe I am just going to leave the campaign gm.
Ok, we'll miss you!
Sorry to see you go, Temerith.
Best of luck for your next games!
So, who's still around?
I see Iggy and Janus and myself, I saw Variziel on the 8th, (you still around?)
Is Scoundrel still around?
I'm still here, just not really sure what to say at this point. Variziel's really waiting on the others moving the coral to let him know they're ready to go belowdecks.
Well Iggy's moving it down, so you're free to assist! :) or to intervene before he finishes up. Yadda yadda.
*seagull noises*
How's it goin', cap'n?
Marco?
Polo.
Marco?
Pizza?
I'm around I didn't respond for a while cause I thought the game died or something. Didn't know the site had a auto-inactive thing.
Happy New Year!
Hopefully we'll finally get off this blasted ship in the upcoming year.
That would be nice, hahaha.
You will never leave alive!
Someone poke the cap'n with a stick again to make sure he's not dead.
I miss you people!
I miss you guys too.
I was also thinking, as much as I dislike this idea...is there a way to get this game back going? Is it worthwhile looking for a GM to help bring it back from the dead?
Well another GM may follow the book more closely and not like our high stats and the NPCS Silver added that arent in the adventure and other things but it would be nice to at least play...
I've got a lot of campaigns going on right now. I really like the Captain's GMing style, so I wouldn't mind stretching for him, but, to be honest, if we're going to be getting another DM, I'll probably step down.
I dunno what to do, but I know I don't want to lose this group.
Ditto. I have grown fond of you guys. There I said it, that was quite difficult.
Aww! :)
So....the question is, how do we do this?
Yeah, that's the thing. I'd also like to get this going if possible, I've really enjoyed playing with you guys and it's quite a bit of fun. Been thinking of this a lot since my RL group is starting up a game of Skulls and Shackles as well.
Do we want to just post in Recruitment looking for a GM? Do any of you have a good idea of who could run this?
