Pirates Or Ninjas??????

[SoyLeche]

Plus, there's always SOMETHING to do when you're a pirate

Does that include the time that you are stuck at sea for a month without even the slightest breeze?

I don't think ninjas have the cure for "cannonball to the face" in their little bag of tricks.

Any ninja that ends up with a cannonball in the face didn't deserve the title of ninja to begin with.

Loot/Endless quests for loots > Servitude

If I pirate gets caught, he gets famous. If a ninja gets caught, well, he kills himself.





Many Vikings were pirates, but no ninjas.

amen to that soy

I'm baffled.

Pirates are marine armed robbers. They pillage and sink ships. They murder all the passengers.

I though RF members had a certain sense of morality.

 

[MaddLlama]

Ninjas. Ninjas don't get scurvy.

Morality is subjective.

Sinking ships seems somewhat counterproductive. If the ship is sunk, how do you get the booty? The trick is to aim for the masts and sails to disable the ship while leaving it available for looting.

Ninjas. Ninjas don't get scurvy.

Neither do smart pirates.

I'm not letting ninjas off the hook. Most were killers-for-hire, as I understand it.

Pirates take advantage of the small crews on modern shipping vessels and the prohibition on such vessels being armed. A crew of ten or twenty armed pirates can thus take a huge container ship or oil tanker with no more opposition than a ship's fire hose or a couple of flares. They usually loot the ship's safe and rob the passengers. Sometimes, with smaller ships, they'll repaint it, change it's ID and try to sell it and it's cargo.

Piracy is a huge and growing problem. In some places going on a cruise is like a marine version of a drive through Baghdad..

"For example, you make it a point to never attack a weaker party than yourselves, but when you attack a stronger one, you invariably get thrashed.

"You also make it a point to never attack an orphan, and the word has gotten out. The last three ships we took proved to be manned entirely by orphans. One would think that Great Brittains entire mercantile marine is staffed from it's orphan asylums, which we know is not the case"

(ok, so I took some liberties with the exact wording, but...)

We've already been here, and besides the Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot, there is NOTHING cooler than a Pirate.

Let's not forget Wooden legs, Gold Bullion, Naval Warfare and Pillaging.

There's nothing better than a good pillage.

We're being Johnny Depp pirates and Naruto ninjas, sshh. We don't need reality to intrude upon our games!

Don't forget hooks for hands, the cool accent and pirate slang.

 

[Mercy Not Sacrifice]

Sorry, but attacking civilian ships on a rat-infested boat doesn't sound like my idea of a good and meaningful life.

Must learn the way of the ninja warrior instead. :ninja:

 

[Mavrikmind]

Pirate of course ..... Yo ho Yo ho a pirates life for meeeeeeee LOL

 

[SoyLeche]

Just imagine if you had zombie monkey pirates who had been trained in the ways of the ninja. They'd be unstopable!

What about cyber ninja monkey pirates? With little bazookas on their shoulders?

 

[Guitar's Cry]

I'd be a pirate. Something more romantic (at least in the ideal) about them. Ninjas were cool, but I could never be a spy or assassin. Gentleman of Fortune...maybe.

Besides, with all the women fawning over pirates nowadays, I'd be a fool not too! (Sorry, Gentoo, I had to put that!)
