Pirate vs Ninja: Who Wins?

[Dasquian Belargic]

It's time to settle this age-old battle.

[Droo]

HA! I see through your deception - this is a trick question! The answer is pirate ninjas! Wait! Space pirate ninjas!

[Dasquian Belargic]

A pirate would never cross-breed with a ninja, that's disgusting :mad

[Charley]

False Dichotomy.

Cowboys. That's right.

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

My vote goes for pirates :D

They just... they just look and talk waaaay cooler.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Pirates.

ninjas can't swim

[Ryan Pode]

Pirates.

ninjas can't swim

Thats uh... pretty racist there. There were lots of ninjas on the high seas back in the day.

[The Message]

back in the day.

Which was a Wednesday

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Pirates pirates pirates pirates!

[Captain Untouchable]

Ninjas, obviously. ;)

If pirates were cooler, why didn't Batman get swashbuckling lessons from Qui Gon Jinn? :p

But, if we're going to talk about combining powers, there's always...

Yes, it's a real card game. No, I haven't played it. Yes, I hear it's hilarious.

First person to cry "Furry" gets it in the mouth. And by "it" I mean my foot. And by "my foot" I mean a sledgehammer named Bristol.

[Morgan Evanar]

Phil Foglio is a weird cat, and Steve Jackson is pretty damn funny.

The Japanese are pretty adept at oceangoing stuff and they had better naval tech than the west did for a long time (or is it China? I can't remember).

Pencil me in for Ninjas but the real answer is Spetsnaz.

[Mandy with an I]

You know what wins????








monkey cheese. seriously.

[Mitch]

The Japanese are pretty adept at oceangoing stuff and they had better naval tech than the west did for a long time (or is it China? I can't remember).

You're thinking of China. Japan's oceangoing capabilities were only concerned with making it to Korea, and even then half their ships sank. China sailed halfway around the world.

I'm too drunk to comprehend this :(


e - whoa whoa whoa, that picture didn't come up when I first saw your post! What the heck!?

[Liam Jinn]

I cry Furry... ?

[Mitch]

I cry Furry... ?

Bristol will be seeing you shortly. That is all.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

:lol Liam, you even live in the same state as him. It was nice knowing you. ;)

[Liam Jinn]

He's maybe an hour away... Wait, how long since he posted?

:uhoh

As soon as I get on my feet again I'll show him a night on the town he'll never remember! Oh crap, I think someone just knocked on my door...

[Droo]

Bristol is a great name for a sledgehammer!

[Park Kraken]

Depends on which time era your talking about. For the early years it would be the Chinese yes.

Ninjas would trump pirates, hands down. The pirates would still be asleep when the throwing stars laced with scorpion poision hit them from the sneaky and stealthy ninjas that flew aboard on large kites from the trade winds.

Now, Samurai versus Pirates makes things much more interesting. In that case, I think Pirates would triumph with their dirtier tactics.

[Razielle Alastor]

I agree that pirates are more entertaining, however...

In a fight to the death, battle-royal-w/cheese-showdown, the ninja's would annihilate all filthy, rum-saturated clowns in minutes, I'm sure..

Ninja's ftw.

[Yog]

Pirates win in entertainment value and swashbuckling skills, but Ninjas win in every other category hands down.

[Cat X]

Sheep with guns because Ninjas AND pirates are stupid

[Park Kraken]

Tauren ftw.

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

I'm still casting my lot in with the pirates. They're just more fun :)

[Charley]

Pencil me in for Ninjas but the real answer is Spetsnaz.

If it's a dance-off, I change my vote to the VDV :lol

I never ever get tired of watching or listening to this.

[Liam Jinn]

Well that's 3 minutes of my life I'll never get back. :|

[Jaime Tomahawk]

It was way better than any Ninja Pirates Zombie obsessive crapfest.

So who would win - Spetsnaz or SAS?

[Sanis Prent]

Which SAS? ;)

[Jaime Tomahawk]

Which SAS? ;)


Take your pick :)

[Droo]

Then bugger off elsewhere to talk about rally cars instead, you miserable git!

Do you a deal then. I'll stay quiet and you lot that keeps beating zombies / pirates and ninjas into the ground stop bringing this internet garbage into real life so we who have had enough of it have a place to escape it? Like stop talk like a pirate day?

Honestly, its funny in small doses. Not on every bloody board and not in real life and not over and over and over again. Ever wonder why that panning stuff has disappeared? Because it's just not funny when it's been beaten into the ground.

So it's not being a misreble git - and I don't have a rally car at present anyway - it's expressing the valid opinion that this has been seriously overdone. And it has. Please stop, I actually prefer to be a lighthearted funny guy, not one about ready to throw a cat through the monitor. And Stig doesnt like being thrown. And the mnitor doesnt like being hit with something vastly heavier than a brick.

Come to think of it, is it even possible for a human to pick that cat up in the first place.....?

[Lilaena De'Ville]

This thread has too much serious in it. Don't tempt me to ban.

[Dasquian Belargic]

Here's a wonderful thought: if you don't like pirates and ninjas, don't click and open a thread with pirates and ninjas in the title ;)

OMG you R teh smrt! :D

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Mark defies logic and refuses to acknowledge it. ;)

[Yog]

Viking wins vs Samurai, IMO.

(and the VDV video was awesome)

[Sanis Prent]

Which SAS? ;)


Take your pick :)

I think they're all better than Spetsnaz honestly. Don't get me wrong, Spetsnaz is full of hard, scary-looking dudes who know martial arts and have crazy spring-loaded knives, but I think that's the mythology at work. SAS just has a miles-long rap sheet of really effective combat engagements. They're also a feeder school for some of the best private military contractor firms in the world, for what that's worth.

Your overlooking something though. KGB trumps all (except possibly Mossad).

Apples to oranges. You're comparing Intelligence services to Counter-terrorism / COIN small forces.

[Captain Untouchable]

Speaking of internet fads that are probably best forgotten:

Chuck Norris beats all.

;)

[Droo]

Chuck Norris is in ur base pwning ur d00ds. KITTIES!

[Lilaena De'Ville]

There are no endangered animals. There are only animals that Chuck Norris has allowed to live.

And also...

http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee246/Beacon_Island/Funny/jew.jpg

They will win. ;)

[Morgan Evanar]

I hate "Chuck Norris x y z." A lot.

[Dasquian Belargic]

I draw the line at Chuck Norris.

...wasn't that generator of facts about him, originally about Vin Diesel, and made on SomethingAwful?

[Droo]

I couldn't abide the Chuck Norris fad, so much so that I went as far as installing an anti-Chuck Norris mod on WoW so that everytime someone said something featuring his name, I couldn't see it.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

:lol that's pretty serious.

See, there are tons of worse things than pirates and ninjas. Of course, ninjas are pretty bad when they're happening to you.

[Dasquian Belargic]

I can't say that ninjas happening to me is much of a day to day issue for me. In fact, a ninja has never once happened to me.





:uhoh

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Of course, you wouldn't know if they were going to happen... UNTIL AFTERWARD.....

[Dasquian Belargic]

Maybe it already happened and they were just so stealthy that I didn't notice..

[Park Kraken]

But the Hordies ninja my Admantite veins all the time while I'm fighting the mobs next to it!

Pirates win. (http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZKmfaKT_uqk/SPozGGuZcEI/AAAAAAAAAro/Y0HBSeJxDLM/s1600-h/IMG_2037.JPG) Hands down. (http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZKmfaKT_uqk/SPozGalqxFI/AAAAAAAAArw/pXl17vEgXLs/s1600-h/IMG_2033.JPG)


Funny. A couple of weeks ago, at work, we held a Pirates vs. Ninja costume contest with a pretty freakin' sweet first place prize! (http://www.epicweapons.com/products/frostmourne/) And the winner???... A Pirate. Which Pirate???... This Pirate!

sweet prize, too!

Thank you! :D

[The Message]

Holy snap that swords almost the same size as you!

[Lady Vader]

Yeah, it's somewhat big. It only weighs about 15 or 16 pounds, but because it's solid weight, as opposed to "droopy" weight (i.e. I had a cat who was 15 lbs and really easy to hold), it feels like 50.

Holding it downward and upward, farely easy. Holding it to the side, yeah, good luck. Not a one-hander at all. Two-hands with a grunt.

Next step: To hang it on the wall and hope to gawd it doesn't fall on anything or anyone. Like i said... it's solid. If it hit something, it may come away with a scratch, but whatever it hits will come away with a dent, or worse. (I think i'll be keeping the point-cap on just for safety. It's somewhat sharp at the end. :uhoh

You have Frostmorne! That's awesome! You lucky thing, I'm so jealous!

[General Dan]

Blonde hair looks really, really disconcerting on you ;)

Also, no flintlock? Come on. You can get a functional one even in your repressive little banana republic state. That's where the fun is! Hell, you could probably stick to cap & ball and still find a cool reproduction at your local Cabelas or something. Plus, you get to shoot off big puffs of white smoke which is why black powder guns are fun.

I like the cutlass. The huge WoW sword, not so much :p

[Dasquian Belargic]

Well, it is the sword of the Lich King... he'd just look silly with anything other than a giant two-hander!

[Razielle Alastor]

That is teh smexy, but ninja's would still own a pirate crew. :p

[The Message]

Fun poll. When it started Pirates were way ahead. Then the ninjas came from behind (like they do..) and took off with the lead. Now pirates are inching their way back.

Its so epic! :p

[Dasquian Belargic]

Pirates will triumph!

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

I hate to say it, but when I saw your picture the first thing I noticed was your cone cat ^_^;

Your Lich King sword is awesome though. Next time I see you, I'll be sure to bring my Soul Reaver blade and we can make beautiful nerd pictures :D

[Salem Ave]

Wait what when did you buy a Soul Reaver?!

[Miranda Tarkin]

I don't know what to vote for! :cry It's like arguing cavemen vs astronauts :mischief

[Salem Ave]

Cavemen, obviously. Astronauts don't have weapons, but cavemen have big wooden clubs.

[Droo]

:ninja all the way!

[The Message]

Pirates Arr! matey swash swash buckle buckle

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Wait what when did you buy a Soul Reaver?!

A while ago :)

I've got a few pictures of it floating about somewhere. It's not the best repro, but it's better than nothing. Charley makes fun of me for it because the 'made in' stamp on the blade says Pakitan instead of Pakistan ^_^;

[Charley]

Astronauts have weapons! Didn't you see Moonraker?

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Cavemen vs. Astronauts hinges on one very important question. Are they on earth or in space? In space astronauts win. On earth, cavemen. The astronauts would not be able to function for several days in the Earth's gravity, and have decreased muscle mass from their time spent being weightless. Lets not forget those bulky spacesuits. ;)

And the cavemen would be disoriented in zero-G and dead in the vacuum of outer space.

[Dasquian Belargic]

I think the only option here is to put the caveman and astronaut somewhere other than in space or on land... e.g. in the ocean!

[Park Kraken]

Charley makes fun of me for it because the 'made in' stamp on the blade says Pakitan instead of Pakistan

Well where do you think the Pacmen come from? Don't you know they make really good swords?

[Daiquiri]

Let me start out saying that I like pirates WAY more than ninjas but I have to be honest with everyone...

Ninjas.

[Dasquian Belargic]

Stop voting ninjas, you fools :shakefist

[Razielle Alastor]

Fools?! :twak go swill some rum, wench...

What the hell is this? The only reason people are all over pirates these days is because they think the Pirates of the Carribean films are the best thing since sliced bread! Which they're not and, all you pirate-voters, you all fail! :verymad

[Daiquiri]

My heart WANTED to vote pirates but my pea-brain overruled. I mean...how can you NOT vote for pirates if even just a single one of them looked remotely like Depp or Bloom?! Besides, for me at least, ninjas are not of the smexy.

[Rossos Atrapes]

Ninjas would handily defeat pirates in most people's opinions, though the exception to this rule effected my vote: "Black Bart" Roberts. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bartholomew_%22Black_Bart%22_Roberts)

I don't care what the circumstances (other than a drunk crew), but This pirate single-handedly makes it possible to wipe the floor with ninjas that were brave enough to try the seas. On land? Meh, Roberts'd be defeated, after they had to get the most elite ninjas in the land posing as weak farmers and such.
