Ok, my friend and I have a constant running argument about which is better Pirates or Ninjas. I personally say Ninjas because they're obviously all powerful, but I figured I should ask someone else.
So everyone... Prates or Ninjas?
By the way you can;t be both because the complete anthethesis would cause you to implode.
Ninjas. They're less likely to kill/rob me.
YO ho ho, give me a swash-buckling pirate anyday, mate. *They need a smiley with an eye patch right here*

Nevermind. I see you've found yourself one.
I chose ninjas simply because they are cooler.
ALTHOUGH I have to hand it to the stereotypical male pirates for being able to pull off wearing earrings! ;D
You must have been kidding about if ninjas really exist/existed or not. ???
It's all a part of history if you take the time to research.

ARGH Mateys we pirates aint that bad once ye get ta know us XD
I vote pirates for no particular reason! Possibly because the movie Pirates of the Caribbean has Orlando Bloom in it. :-\ I can't help it! I'm an obsessed sheep!
I think pirates are going to win. =|
^
perfect corny joke opportunity that I didn't take
P=
Edit: This is the third time I've come across a Ninja vs. Pirate debate. :suffer: It's so odd, lol. Why not... Clowns vs. Mimes or something. ;D
Tage
Pirates! Definitely...and NOT just b/c Orli played one! :suffer: Pirates seem to have more fun...I mean, who DOESN'T want to have a free life living on the sea??
Cat
Ninjas! XD Especially samurais. 8)
Pirates, without a shred of doubt.
"A pirate I was meant to be!
Trim the sails and roam the sea!"
ARggggggggg Ye Land-lubbers, Ye done the pirates good ;B
I bet a pirate could win against a ninja by just doing some underhanded tihng XB

You ignored my sucky assassain arguement.
Real ninjas are never seen, so if you never see them, how do we know they really exist?
And yes, of course I was kidding. A Ninja vs. Pirate debate isn't supposed to be taken seriously, is it?

Whoa, nelly! Samurais are TOTALLY DIFFERENT than Ninjas.
Ninjas = assassains.
Ninjitsu...the art of not being seen.
Samurais = warriors.
They base their lives on Code of Ethics and are soldiers. They are most definitely seen.
:D
Oh :P Then I prefer Samurais! 8)
Heheh, but with respect to this poll, I still prefer assassins to thieves. XD
QuoteI still prefer assassins to thieves.
Ninjas can be both... at the same time. XD
;D Sorry if I sounded too serious, lol.
And yep, Ninjas and Samurais are WAAAAYY different... They have a very clashing history. =|
Samurais would be better than both. The only ones with a REAL code of honor.
Yeah, samurais do have that whole subuku thing goin for them.
"REAL code of honor" ???
You must be talking about samurai before the Meiji era.
Anyway, back to the topic. Ninjas are better than pirates! :P I think stealth is a lot cooler than everything J-ROC listed, lol.
Except maybe the "Swashbuckling songs!" and "Wicked cool "Skull and Crossbones" flags/emblem" ;D
And ninjas can have "sword" fights too! :P
Tage
But pirates :D, they sword fight, arm wrestle :D, they do more normal everyday things ;D
Ninjas they sneak around all day being idiots :-\
I would rather lead a normal everyday life and be a theif :P :suffer:
I think we're talking about the stereotypes of ninjas and pirates.
Ninjas, full black costume carrying "swords" and "throwing stars" and being stealthy.
Pirates, patch over the eye, parrot on shoulder, peg leg, "sword"... Skull and crossbones flag. "Arrrrr", that kind. ;D
Then I prefer the stereotype of the samurai(since the subject was brought up).
Samurai(stereotype)
Scaled armor, sharp swords, code of honor, and almost always dies at the end of the movie(after taking a couple hundered other samurai with him).
One more thing. They can jump a few stories high, and then land without so much as a scratch.
but the poll is about Pirates and Ninjas :D, not samurais :-\
I still prefer the stereotypical ninja to the stereotypical pirate. XD
7 votes for ninjas.
7 votes for pirates.
Since it's even, why not add samurai? It might break the tie.
Gee, well if everyone wants im up for adding samurais to the list,
Do I have to creste a whole new poll or can I just reset this one?
I'm not sure if you're allowed to edit your own polls. If not, let me know and I'll do it for ya. :)
Hmm, it seems all I can do is lock and unlock the voting. I'd much appreciate it if you took care of the editing and resetting Yonkey. :)
Done! :D
Go Samurais!!!! 8)
Samurais are in the lead. !!!
I feel kinda bad for the Ninjas now. They're no match for the Samurais. :suffer:
Maybe we should add a higher-class of Pirates? Hmm... cyberpunks maybe? ;-D XB

As Freud says, "There are no accidents". XD
Ok ok you got me :-\, but still Samurai's wouldnt be drawing with Pirates now if i had have voted differently ;) :P
Pirates.
I've listed all my complains about Ninjas.
And Samurais are for Tom Cruise lovin' girly men.
And that's all I have to add to that. :D
QuoteAnd Samurais are for Tom Cruise lovin' girly men.
Next time you meet a samurai, tell him that.
Ah yes, the honourable Samurai of central Alberta. They roam the prairies, often in packs....helping to rid the world of the vile "Prairie Dogs". To farmers, they are heros. To animal rights activists, they are a menace. To the rest of us, they remain a mystery.
I will be sure to tell them this, should I ever encounter one during my travels along the plains...
I was thinking about someone from Japan, that does those reenactments(or anyone wearing samurai armor). They think enough of their heritage, that I'd be scared to say something like that to them(especially considering, that they might have a katana).
I generally don't mouth off to people carrying swords. Including samurai, or even pirates.
Pirates, Ninjas or Samurais??
i'll vote for skaters... ugh, it isn't an option, but they are way cooler 8) then those 3 ;-D
Another draw?
Need more votes.
Samurai's suck :P, pirate's rule :D
Pirates! Again!
Okay, I just noticed something.
Ninjas=masters of stealth right?
Like, as in runnign up walls, sneaking through shadows, jumping over rooftops ect.
So the girl ninja in ninja gaiden...has double d cup breasts...
How the hell are you supposed to run up a wal or scale a rooftop with double D boobs?!?
They're fake; hence weigh less? ???
No, you see... they're inflatable boobs, so she can just put some helium in them and float to the top of the building.
(...OK, that was bad, even for me! XD )
Peace & Luv, Liz
A stereotypical Samuari warror is by far superior to the stereotypical ninja and stereotypical pirate combined. 8)
Samurai's are back in the lead. 8)
Quote from: Louisiana Night on November 28, 2004, 06:40:46 PMSamurai's are back in the lead. 8)
Have they ever been in the lead before?
I say ninjas, t'would be fun to be virtually invisible and have all those cool jumping powers. ;D

If you voted for Ninjas, and Samurais were in the lead before that, who voted for Pirates?
Maybe it one of our newbies! :D
Quote from: Yonkey on November 29, 2004, 06:16:04 PMMaybe it one of our newbies! :D
It would be nice if they made their choice public via a post though. :-\
Don't worry, they'll come around when they're ready. There's so many posts to read. 8)
I say pirates.
You are more up to date with technology because....
U get cannons
U get Guns (muskets)
U have ships to attack other regions
:P
U also get a sword like every one else
U get a spare knife in your pocket
Well there you go :D
Aye! Avast!
How about being a pirate by day and a ninja by night? ;)
and a samurai in your dreams ;)

I find it strange though, a newbie coming into the den of the lion right away. I know I didn't (but then again, there was no den back then :P )
When I visit other forums, sometimes I vote in polls and not post any message. :P
When I go to a forum I post as much as possible so they get sick of me right away :P
pirets all the way (eX. guybrush):stabs:
