Pirates or Ninja?

appears in a cloud of flies

throws around some bone shuriken

disappears into the shadows leaving behind nothing but a rancid smell

Anyone else see old posters in necrotised threads and wonder what happened to them?

And my vote goes to ninjas, I guess.

Pirates hired the differently abled before it was PC. Missing a leg and a hand? Here's a peg leg and a hook, welcome aboard! No left eye? Here's an eye patch, you don't need depth perception to swab the deck! If you're not afraid of hard work and have few qualms about killing you could find work as a pirate. A good pirate captain realizes that you don't need to have all your body parts to be an effective killer.

Ninjas only seem to hire completely healthy employees. Not only do they clearly practice nepotism (you guys just happen to all be from the same clan? Really? What are the chances?) but they also discriminate against those that are differently abled.

[Sissyl]

ARRRR! I'll be a pirate, me! Avast ye swabs!!!

[Lord Fyre]

Ninja Pirates do exist!

"We are the Shadow that comes in the night and says 'ARRRR!'"

[Gruumash .]

I have no nose and I was allowed to become a pirate and now I am the captain of me own ship.

More Rum and pass the wench.

[Dread Pirate Rumnaheim]

Yarr! If today be the day I die, at least I'll have some fun before I lie. Yarrr!

[Ironic Ninja]

And now a Haiku ...

Wench's crotch burns like pirate rum,
smart man drinks sake with beautiful geisha.
girlfriend experience.

*Smoke-bomb*

[Xabulba]

Ninja are just make-believe, pirates are real.

[YAAR! I BE A PIRATE!]

YAAR, ye should be takin' a guess as to which one gets my vote. Here be a hint: it isn't ninja.

[Bruunwald]

Ninja get up on the roof with all stealth, which is cool and all...

But pirates swing by each other on ropes, dueling with cutlasses.

I imagine a ninja sneaking across a roof, thinking he's the boss, when suddenly... a pirate swings by on a rope (don't ask what it's attached to), and lops some unsuspecting body part off.

Pirates, yes indeed.

[Benchak the Nightstalker]

Ninjas? Ninjas are all hype.

Pirates? You're stuck doing grueling manual labor (often against your will) for months at a time in absolutely appalling conditions, and your reward is an evening or two of drunken debauchery, the pox, and a missing limb. Yeah, that sounds fun (/sarcasm).

I vote Robots.

[Misery]

Going with Ninjas.

Also, I'm noticing a lot of posters are centering around pirates getting wenches.

... don't really recall anywhere that ninjas dont get women. Their women are likely just far more cleaner with actually kissable breath! Ever think the "wench" thing is promoted so much because they're compensating a little?

Spending days/weeks/months on the sea with (usually) a ship full of other men?

Passsssssssss

[Captain Aberzombie]

Arrgh! Avast!

[Spanky the Leprechaun]

[Ninzombie]

[Paul Watson]

Pirates
Reason This.

[Kthulhu]

Vikings

[Honey Cat]

Pirates: Rape,Kill,Steal.

Not exactly in that order.

[Heathansson]

I miss ole The Koga.

[Aberzombie]

Yeah, he was an awesome kind of b$+&+~$ crazy.

[Baltzar Callinova]

Pirates. End thread.

If we are talking about pirates vs. ninja (plural) the answer is certainly the pirates.

Conservation of Ninjitsu

Only a single ninja has a chance, everyone should know this.
