ReformBlade Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 As far as RL goes, ninjas. If you're throwing arbitrary game terms in, it's up in the air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whase Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Pirates everytime. I mean, have you seen Pirates of the Caribbean? Truely epic. Ninjas? Not so much PotC was good, ninja's are invincible, invincible isn't good for movies IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riariadne Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Depends on a lot of things. For example, surprise attack, technology, the skill of said pirates/ninjas, and stuff like that. I vote ninjas because pirates would need a lot of circumstances pointed in their favor in order to win. Also cooler. And what's more important is that Ragnell is back! Hi Ragnell!

Esau of Isaac Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 (edited) This is not a fair question. It is obvious to any observer that any one ninja could (and would) kill any given number of pirates given a desire to fight. And by fight, I really mean "Hang pirates from the rafters using their own spine". Why in the world would pirates stand a chance of surviving when their very existence is to be killed by ninjas? They are as though sheep for the wolves, mice for the hawk, pizza for a fat kid. The fact of the matter is that those who dared to vote for pirates have made such a grave mistake as to suggest to me that they are indeed pirates. Which is a dangerous act in itself, as it is a well known fact that ninjas are capable of striking others through the internet. Make your time, pirates, for your end shall soon be met at the business end of a shuriken. Edited April 19, 2010 by Esau of Isaac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uguu Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Actually, blindly swinging wouldn't do them any good. Ninjas are extremely good at avoiding hits, especially when it comes to weapons. I've seen a video of a ninja master trying to hit his student with a pole but he couldn't land a single hit. The student's evasion was ridiculously swift. But was the student attempting to evade while simultaneously trying to land a hit on his master? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaMonkey Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 I'd say ninja's, but then I'm a bit biased... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrhesia Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 (edited) Ninja are locked to swords, while pirates have swords and pistols. Ninjas will double the lower end pirates, but there are more pirates. And yes, Ninja can waterwalk, but pirates have boats and cannons. It's like Marisa versus Gerik. And Gerik is using Garm as a throwing weapon. Pirates also may have Pastafarian clerics spread amongst their ranks, adding healing to the mix. Also, pirates are better at any kind of puzzle.

Nightmare Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 But was the student attempting to evade while simultaneously trying to land a hit on his master? He could have, if he had a shuriken and it was a serious situation. But he doesn't really need to, he just needs to evade until the attacker is fatigued and then kill him. Heck, he doesn't even need to evade a pirate that much, given how slow they are in comparison to a ninja master. They'll just need to back flip a few times and throw a shuriken.

Why would boats and cannons help at all? The ninjas could just jump from shore to the boat and then slaughter the crew. Heck, even a ninja trainee that can only jump four hundred feet would be able to jump on the cannonballs and get to the ship. The only puzzle pirates could possibly best ninjas in is the puzzle of finding out the most colorful way for their entrails to be decorated on a ninja's mantle. But even that's a toss-up, because ninjas are a very creative people. Edited April 19, 2010 by Esau of Isaac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whase Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 pizza for a fat kid. why can't this skinny kid have any? :( anyways, everyone don't forget. the pirates we're talking about here are, I think, those pirates of old times. the guns can only shoot once, and shooting with one eye isn't easy.

BK-201 Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Pirates are just some stupid dood with no brains Nautical terminology, navigation, I don't see how, they may be blunt force but they do know some things. Ninjas win though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Communard Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 I advise that the ninja and pirate factions liquidate their political divergencies. They are, after all, expressions of the same Proletarian urge, as their origins well attest. They should therefore eliminate their trifling disagreements and unite into a single party of shinobi-buccaneers who might thereby destroy utterly their true enemy.

Ether Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Very well... It wrecks humans and other such living creatures.This includes Ninjas if it hits them,and it quite the blast radius,being a shotgun and all.Considering the limited space,they are unlikely to have problems hitting on a ship,and pirates usually don't fight elsewhere.

Esau of Isaac Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 (edited) A pirate will carry upwards of a dozen flintlocks,and multiple Blunderbuss(Archaic Shotgun...it wrecks shit) Wow, that's a lot of useless equipment. It's just like if they were carrying no weapons, because such puny weaponry couldn't possibly harm a ninja. It might even make it worse on the pirate, since the ninja now has extra tools with which to bisect the pirate's torso. It wrecks humans and other such living creatures.This includes Ninjas if it hits them,and it quite the blast radius,being a shotgun and all.Considering the limited space,they are unlikely to have problems hitting on a ship,and pirates usually don't fight elsewhere. If by "wreck" you mean "bounce away harmlessly, assuming the ninja doesn't simply bat it away with his eyebrows", then yes, it would wreck the shit out of them. Also, the pirates can't hit what they can't see. If a pirate sees a ninja, it's the last thing he sees, and only because the ninja felt he should give the poor bastard a courtesy before poking his still-beating heart out of his body with the man's own spinal column.

Oh?A gun can't damage an unarmoured opponent?I figured the poll was referring to actual Ninjas/Pirates,not sparkly fairydust Twilightfag ninjas.If I was incorrect,I apologize.

One ninja against pirates is a slightly close fight, but when you have multiple ninja against multiple pirates it becomes a slaughter.

Of course the gun can't damage a ninja; the only thing that can do physical harm to a ninja is another ninja. You better damn well apologize for your ignorance of the ninja way.
