ANPA stands for the "Anti-ninja pirates association," a new group I've decided to invent a couple minutes ago.
I'm growingly concerned about the promotion of ninjaness in all aspects of society, but especially in rpg's. The main problem I have with it is this: ninjas never existed!!!
And I know pegasuses and unicorns never existed, and all, but that just goes without saying. There's people who actually believe ninjas existed; this is a trend we have to nip in the bud. So I've decided to get my aninjeistic ideas out there, and look at the problem, and ask you, my brethren (and sistren) of the coast, what can be done? How do we disprove a negatory, especially when these nonexistent ninjas would be so good at remaining invisible IF they existed, which they don"t?!?
(disclaimer: ninjas really did exist, as did pegasuses and unicorns; this is just a jokey thread).
Ninja's RULE !!! They are a blast to ride!!! ~thoughtful look~ Oh, you mean the Ninja's from Japan ! They rule too!!! Death to all pirates!!! Swabby scum!
You've shattered my world.
I've gotta know which is true: Did unicorns and pegasai exist or not. I swear I've seen one in the tent right next to James' geek show. Was I hornswabbled?
Ninjas rule? How could they? They'd have to be cooler than pirates (which they're not), AND they'd have to exist (which they don't).
We really have to get involved here and come up with a pirate core class. Maybe then, poor misbegotten (oops) I meant misinformed individuals like Puff the Magic Dragon here would be shown the errorneousness of their ways. It's strategery.
Hey Heathy ! You know I have to oppose you on general principles! It is nothing personal. ~wicked chuckle~ Who am I kidding, it is personal!
(~grins~ BTW, my friend. How is life treating you? Is the family doing good?)
Puff is not bad provided you do not get on his nerves. Besides, he is actually a secret dragon ninja master, so do not piss him off!!!
Yeah. Pretty good. I got no complaints.
Dang ninja believer-inner.

People who think ninjas are cool know nothing about them and only know them through Sho Kusugi movies and other Hollywood/Asain films.
Ninja were brainwashed into having no identity and no sense of self-worth. They were assassins who were only a weapon, they had no private life, thoughts, ect.
Roleplaying a ninja must be fun...I am ordered to kill that guy, my life is forfeit if I fail. May as well roleplay a robot.
Ninja suck.
FH
Logue loves ninjas, therefore I loathe them.
ANPA rules!
~grins~ Well, Heathy, if I told you why I am telling you, I would have to kill you.
Fakey, it is even more fun to be the Ninja master, because you can order everyone around! Heathen! Ninja's are too cool!
Huzzah! I have a celebrity to provide my mad ravenings with some form of legitemacy!
p.s.--how's the Scuttlecove coming, my good fellow?
~wispers~ Get these fools now, my trusty Kobold Ninja warrrors!
~scuffles as the kobolds aided by their sorcer / ninja leaders buff them up~
(I am off to get some lunch now. Have fun you all!)
hold on--back in 5 melee rounds or less--
(cues the funky 70's cop show fight music)
bring it, ya hepped up chihuahua-headed gecko men!!!!

Meh...
~12 Kobold Ninjas attack you while 3 Kobold Sorcerers attack you with their spells~ DIE !!! --said in Kobold--
~Laughter~ Why should I not let my minions do the work that they were trained to do? Beides, they have silver weopons enchanted with were-poodle slaying powers! Kill the mutt now!

(Now I am off to lunch. My minions should be able to deal with Fuzzy puppy by them selves.)

~Rolls a 13 plus the +4 due to improved initative~ Nice try! 17, so suck it up and face my minions wrath!

Nice try! Shall we take you to the cheaters section, fuzzy?
How ironic. How ironic indeed. The vaunted "ninja master" who backstabs, who poisons, who wins in any dishonorable way at his disposal is crying over a little dice subterfuge.
Fine. Let your wee anole lizard//pekingese-headed sprats have a first go. I'm tough.
~They mob of Kobold Ninjas attack you, bearing you down and tying you up with rope~ Good ninjas. He is too dishonorable to kill! Now go dunk him in some pink paint and put him in a tutu!
~looks at you, eyebrow going up~ Of course we backstab and poison. We are Ninjas!!!
~pulls out the poodle sized tutu and a set of pink bows to put in your hair~ This should do nicely! You will look so cute!
My homunculous praying mantis sneaks out of my coinpurse, pulls out his tiny hacksaw, and starts freeing me from my bonds. He gestures to me in his praying mantis sign language, "wow. These kobolds sure do suck at tying knots."
I rip free, and in one swipe of my claws, cleave 3 of the wee humanoids in twain.
(edit) I got to really go do some stuff. Dang real world! Jackin' wit' my online funs!!!
(~grins~ NP, my friend. RT can do that sometimes.)
~As you cleave the three Kobolds in half, the 1st Kobold Sorcerer casts web right at you while the second one casts grease right below you~ You killed my minions?!? ~ROARS~
(~grins~ This time I am really going to get some food. Be back in a few hours. Take care everyone.)
Plus pirates would win. They have all the guns. And...they have big ships, whereas ninjas just have little bamboo sticks to breathe out of while they sneak around underwater.

~Wide, toothy grin~ Well, you can't hit what you can't see. ~casts mass greater invisiblity on my minions~
Well, I do have four Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles at my beck and call.
Ha ha! Now to unveil my secret weapon!
(pulls out ACME bag-o-flour gatling gun)
Thoopthoopthoopthoopthoop!!!
Wow, 9 powdery white poodleguanas...and they're hackin' and sneezin' like they got's allergies!!!
Thoopthoopthoopthoopthoop!!!
Funs.

~Howls in anger~ You have floured my minions. Now I will have to de-flour them. ~thoughtful look~ That came out wrong!
~Starts to sneeze~ Oh, no ! ~aims at the fluff ball~
