Pirates vs Ninjas

[imthefoolonthehill]

Who would win in a fight to the death or surrender?

NINJAS? OR PIRATES? Please cast your vote....

here is the scoop on the fight...

It is on the docks, the pirates have a lookout in the crow's nest, but don't know they will be attacked... it is during twilight... so not too dark but not too light....

no magic.

15th century time frame... so pirates get guns, but ninjas don't.... but ninjas have stealth and Katanas and other cool ninja weapons.

cast your vote now!

[Munro]

Oh, ninjas definitely! They're so fast and agile they'd chop up those drunken louts in a matter of minutes. It's a massacre I wouldn't mind watching, I'm thinking Captain Hook (Peter Pan) Vs. Jubei (Ninja Scroll), the coolest ninja fighter in anime.

[Lara]

I agree, definitely Ninjas, they are trained for stealth and assassination. The pirates wouldn't even know they were being attacked before it's too late.

[crisaor]

Ninjas. There's no competition.

[amuse]

Was enthralled reading the ninja sequence in Shogun. Ninjas hands down.

[Stanislaw]

All I have to say is grape shot.

Pirates hands down.

[amuse]

well they do ;) seem more romantic :D

Careful scientific studies has shown that it all depends on the ninja per square feet / pirate per square feet ratio. This might need some explanation for those not acquinted with this formula.

Although a ninja always is effective – the plural form ninjas almost never are. Pirates work good both in team and on a individual basis. The higher ninjas/square feet divided by pirates/ square feet ratio the higher chance of ninjas failure. But – if the ratio is low, ninjas – or more common – the ninja will prevail.

On the other had there is the style/coolness effect, as mentioned by Sköld et al 2004. Do the pirates wear black? The man in black has a increased chance of winning. Of course ninjas have counted on this for centuries.

So a lone ninja wins over pirates. But ninjas, in group, will probably loose. Ninjas have an increased chance of winning if the pirates do not wear black.

So in this case - with several ninjas - I would think that the pirates will win.

hahah extremly well said

[papayahed]

As much as I like pirates and want them to win, I'd have to go with the ninjas.

[Admin]

Have you seen this? Is old on forums I frequent but it has never been mentioned here.

Ninjas may have the real ultimate power, but pirates have the jolly roger. It´s black. And it´s got a skull on it.

Yeah.

Rock!

Ninjas don´t rock. That would spoil their stealth.

[IWilKikU]

Dude, that site was so awsome!

[Stanislaw]

pirates have cool insignias, see my avatar. That sight was demented, totally awesome, I might cr*p my pants.

[Blade]

i think someone should make a flash animated movie on the battle

[DumbLikeAPoet]

a link that partially explains why I say pirates win......

[psycojones]

you guys are nuts!!! those of you who think pirates could kill ninjas. what are you guys on crack!!!
ninjas are highly trained mercenaries! they are trained, and skilled at killing!! that is what they do!!

what, you guys think some barbaric, ocean, idiots, who only know how to steal, and operate a ship, could take on skill assassin?!!
no way!

what we need is a high buget ninja movie to be made. then those of you who think pirates are better would understand.

[IWilKikU]

there's Beverly Hills Ninja. Thats a good one!

[Stanislaw]

Ninjas have honour, where as pirates cheat.

Pirates would win, I mean they have manly man boobs. (Reference to above websight).

[subterranean]

Ninja of course..I mean they're (martial) artists indeed.

[verybaddmom]

Dumblikapoet:
i checked out that website last night, and thanks a lot, i spent about three too many hours reading everything else on there too....holy!!!
interesting, biting and witty
thanks for the link. was good for some giggles

No they don't (at least not necessarily). Ninjas are assassins, they can hardly be considered as honorific warriors. They're the samurai's counterpart.

[baddad]

I'm with Stanislaw. The pirates had crowd-pleasers (blunderbus/shotguns). Owwww....their definately gonna leave a mark on Mr. Ninja!

[simon]

I'd have to go with Ninja's, although pirates do have the Jolly Roger, as it was pointed out, Ninja's just have more skill, cunning, and stealth.

[baddad]

Ok, I've explored the $%%*&&$^*$ realpower website hate mail. The ()*^$&*%%(^ hatemail link was (*$#@$%^TY&**n hilarious!!!

The meek (sheep) may inherit the earth (according to some) but it is the nonconformist changing the world, asking many of the questions that need to be asked, raising irreverence to new and sweeter plateaus...the ninja sites rocks!!

[Stanislaw]

But the pirates will still win!!!!!!!!!!

[imthefoolonthehill]

You guys are dumb!!!! Ninjas were the outcasts... the assassins, the ruffians hanging around in the brothels... Samurai laughed at these guys... and snaped their butts in the shower... or some such thing....

Pirates on the other hand were at the given time period masters of many seas, feared by all and challenged by few.

[Stanislaw]

well said fool.

[Stanislaw]

did anyone read the maddox sight, that guy has some seriouse anger issues.

[DumbLikeAPoet]

Possibly but the site is still funny.

[ucdawg12]

Ninjas would easily win, Pirates would see bodies dropping all around them, without knowing they are being attacked and eventually become paranoid and kill their fellow pirates because they have no idea there is actually a planned attack going on.

[Stanislaw]

I think pirates are smart enough to realize that the throwing stars and arrows sticking out of the dead pirates don't belong to the other pirates, since the other pirates all have guns.

Ninjas on the other hand are paranoid psychos if the pirates threw throwing stars at them they would kill eachother.

Looks like pirates fare better in groups ;)

[Stanislaw]

:D Th pirates shall always rule...where be the ninjas now???

[Scheherazade]

where be the ninjas now???Exactly! That is what we all want to know!

[Misscaroline]

My house! I'm feeding them dinner before they go and ransack Gotham... I'm still not entirely sure why...

[Misscaroline]

Not really- Mini MC invited them over. She goes to day care with their kids, and it's a play date. Or a sparring date. Haven't heard crying yet. Assuming the former.

[Jay]

Misscaroline, are there any pirate kids around, too? Might get a little... interesting :p

[Misscaroline]

No, just me. And the wench garb is upstairs, so I know I won't cause a frenzy. Besides, I've always got my bodice dagger if things get ugly with their parents....

15th century time frame? Setting? PSHAW. Ninjas are the concentrated essence of 1337. Pirates are cool, nay, even awesome, but ninjas pwn all and thus pwn pirates. There is simply no contest whatsoever.

http://www.askaninja.com

Sorry about slipping into the 1337speak, but we're talking about NINJAS. There is no other language/jargon suited to the job of describing their UB3RN355.

[Ryduce]

Ninja's stealth tactics>Pirate's drunken brawling

[Virgil]

Yeah but guns rule in a fight. Would you want to face one? :lol:

[SummerSolstice]

Ninjas are bulletproof.

[Jean-Baptiste]

Ninjas are bulletproof.

That's a wive's tale!

[SummerSolstice]

No, it's a ninja's tale. And ninjas are always right. Ninjas are 1337.

...I can't believe nobody has brought up realultimatepower.com... don't tell me we're all pretending to be too mature.

[Jean-Baptiste]

Sure he did!

[SummerSolstice]

'Kay fine. I read the thread but I missed that. It happens. Nyah. *sticks out tongue*

Better yet... *goes ninja and flips out and assassinates J-B*

[Jean-Baptiste]

You can't assassinate a pirate. Many of us are dead already anyway.

*Strikes out with wooden leg, catching puny ninja sword in midswing, and sends Summer back to the Equinox*

[SummerSolstice]

Ninjas can assassinate anything. Ninjas can assassinate rocks if they want to.

[Jean-Baptiste]

Who couldn't assassinate a rock? Unlike rocks, Pirates have mateys. Besides, you know what I heard? I heard that Ninjas are afraid of water. Pirates live on the high seas, my delusionary friend.

[B-Mental]

pirates are drunk and feel no pain, arrrrgh!

Ughh the violence *presses scented hanky to face*

( I know there is a smilie that faints somewhere but I cant find here:rolleyes: )

[Jay]

Ah, the violence... reminds me of a certain hill (http://www.online-literature.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17318) :D

[ShoutGrace]

Ninjas can assassinate anything. Ninjas can assassinate rocks if they want to.

Who can't assasinate rocks? They just sit there. *crush*

A pirate would take that rock and use it to bash somebody elses head, and then use it again to play pirate bowling with on their ship.


Yyarrrr!

[Misscaroline]

And here I thought they would just use the newly acquired noggin for that purpose... silly me....

[Jean-Baptiste]

It's a little known fact that there are two distinct variations on bowling in which pirates like to engage: One with rocks formerly used for noggin bashing, and the other with noggins (preferably ninja noggins).

[Misscaroline]

Ninja noggins are best, since you have no second thoughts about ramming them against the pins, whereas a rock you could use for a doorstop or something else useful.... like more ninja bashing!

[SummerSolstice]

Ninjas... afraid of water? Hah. You amuse me. You're thinking of wicked witches, my friend. I understand your mistake, what with the wearing black and all. But see, the difference is that wicked witches are green, and they fly on brooms. Ninjas fly on nothing at all, and they are not green, and they pwn witches. Also, if you speak ill against witches they'll cackle and send some ineffectual flying monkeys against you. If you speak ill against ninjas, they come with fifty thousand ninja friends and kill you in your sleep.

[Jean-Baptiste]

They'd have to come with 50,000 friends while I'm sleeping. :as-sleep: If I were awake, and sober, and had my eyepatch firmly in place, and my leg attached...there'd be no number of ninjas... :smash:

[Misscaroline]

J-P, that sounds like you're not totally ready for an onslaught or ambush. I, however, have my bodice dagger handy and the rest within reach...

[SummerSolstice]

If you sleep with a dagger that almost makes you worthy to be ninja. If they come to kill you in the night, you should try to convince them to take you in. Use your feminine wiles.

[Misscaroline]

That's funny, SummerSolstice. I think I'll use my feminine wiles to conquer their hearts and then take them, instead. I don't like to use my powers for too much evil...

[B-Mental]

pirates don't know what feminine wiles are... and they have boats with cannons. Arrr, pirates rule

[Misscaroline]

Sure they do! Feminine wiles, however, are merely breasts and a full tankard that they come with. Wenches are so undermined...

[B-Mental]

Arrh this pirate knows what they are, but is not affected, lost me depth perception while blasting ninjas to smithereens.

[Misscaroline]

At least it was worth it...:nod:

[Lily Adams]

So this is kind of an offshoot, but...privateers! They're pirates who are loyal to their country, (if they don't turn into full-on pirates) so they'll die as patriots, and true patriots will work hard at their goal, whether it be fighting ninjas or finding Spaniards to roast over a fire...what? That's what the English privateers did!

[B-Mental]

good point lily, now don't go trying your feminine wiles on me, pirates (privateers) rule

[Stanislaw]

They'd have to come with 50,000 friends while I'm sleeping. :as-sleep: If I were awake, and sober, and had my eyepatch firmly in place, and my leg attached...there'd be no number of ninjas... :smash:

Har, indeed, spoken like a true mate o the seas!

I wonder if I can get my own boat....

[Stanislaw]
