| #1rizen_isstaria_dupOct 04, 2008 23:50:23 | Which is better pirates or ninjas? I like pirates, but I personally favor ninjas. Ninjas are always fighting and kicking ass. One more question: Who would win Chuck Norris or Cyborg Pirate Ninja Jesus ? If you are unfamiliar with Cyborg Pirate Ninja Jesus here is a picture. I will warn you though that this picture has the same effect as a powerful laxatives. http://tyraelcooldaras.deviantart.com/art/Cyborg-Pirate-Ninja-Jesus-87777224 |
| #2baneofelvesOct 05, 2008 0:00:01 | I personally prefer pirates. I'd rather be a Pirate. Ninjas obey their lords. That's it. Pirates loot, steal, pillage, plunder ect. Ninjas are honor bound to complete a mission, and if someone offered them money to not complete their mission, they'd refuse. Pirates take the money, kill the guy, and do whatever they want. Pirates have treasure, wenches, booze, all the good stuff. that Ninjas DON'T have. And besides, there's a band called Alestorm which has pirate songs that are really awesome. I haven't found a good ninja band. When I do find one, they will be more equal. As for Chuck Norris vs PirateninjaJesus, Chuck Norris would win. There was only one man who could defeat Norris: Gary Gygax. (unfortunately, he's dead. make a DC 25 will save to not cry. well, looks like I failed the save) |
| #3knights_discipleOct 05, 2008 0:09:43 | Ninjas. After all, Batman's a ninja. Though, pirates are a close second due to getting guns. |
| #4doomsoughtOct 05, 2008 0:22:24 | Master Chief of Halo is a space ninja with guns. you know my vote. |
| #5Cyber-DaveOct 05, 2008 0:27:25 | Damn. Thats a hard call. I'm going to go with pirate based on personal lifestyle choices... but stealth is pretty kick ass. |
| #6QubeOct 05, 2008 3:34:18 | ninja's over pirates ... except if the pirates were ninjas, then I wound't be sure ... Chuck Noris would win from Cyborg Pirate Ninja Jesus ... though Pun-Pun would defeat chuck Noris (seriously, its one of Pun-Pun's abilities : D ...) |
| #7FireclaveOct 05, 2008 3:52:04 | Though I got nothing against pirates though, I perfer stealth and subtley. So if I had to choose, ninjas get my vote. Personally, I'd rather be a ninja-sky pirate and get the best of both worlds and an airship. |
| #8ADHadhOct 05, 2008 4:08:30 | "I am ninja, he is ninja, she is ninja too! I am ninja, we are ninja! And I believe that you are ninja too!" There again the worst thing you can say about ninjas? Vanilla Ice. |
| #9stealthmarmotOct 05, 2008 6:01:02 | Pirates. Both use underhanded kickass tactics. But ninjas follow orders and inevitably end up under the command of a feudal lord all the while living a disciplined and secret lifestyle. Pirates pillage, get rich, get drunk and get laid. Definitely pirates. |
| #10FireclaveOct 05, 2008 6:07:25 | "I am ninja, he is ninja, she is ninja too! I am ninja, we are ninja! And I believe that you are ninja too!" "Yar har fiddle-de-dee!" |
| #11BloodsoulOct 05, 2008 7:54:03 | Real Ultimate Power or rum? Real Ultimate Po -- *head explodes* |
| #12ciaranOct 05, 2008 8:22:51 | The best thing about being a pirate is that nobody will know you're actually a ninja! |
| #13shamurai7Oct 05, 2008 11:09:14 | "Yar har fiddle-de-dee!" after watching that pirate video i am convinced that even a toddler ninja will destroy any pirate. and i toss a vote for cyborg pirate ninja jesus. |
| #14melchizedekOct 05, 2008 11:10:26 | Ah, the age old debate. And by "age old", I mean "appeared on the internet like three years ago, if that" Though I'm reminded of an old saying from the CO board: Dinosaur Riding Ninja Pirates are awesome, but Dinosaur Riding Zombie Ninja Pirates are awesomer on so many levels. |
| #15rizen_isstaria_dupOct 05, 2008 11:20:14 | Pirates have parrots and monkeys...who poop on them ! Ninjas may not have a band, but they do have ask a ninja http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEMvHg_rdng&feature=related They also they urban ninja http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVlGm-s7Lz8 and urban ninja 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9nVENReGBY&feature=related |
| #16hanzo187Oct 05, 2008 12:23:58 | NINJA!!! Also, Rizen, don't forget ninja have the Ninja Glare. ![]() |
| #17baneofelvesOct 05, 2008 12:50:44 | I'm gonna have to adress some issues posted. 1) Master Chief is not a Ninja. He's a Marine. The Arbiter can be considered a Ninja, since his armor lets him go invisible. 2) Smart Pirates don't have parrots. 3) Urban NInja IS awesome, but it's still not as awesome as Alestorm. Music that makes me want to pillage and loot almost always wins. If someone can help me find a good ninja band, then thigs will even out (or change, if they're REALLY good) |
| #18hanzo187Oct 05, 2008 13:02:30 | If I remember right, there was (or maybe still is) a band called NINJA. Don't quote me on that, though |
| #19annoyinglizardvoiceOct 05, 2008 18:15:46 | I prefer ninjas. I've seen more films with hot girls playing ninjas than pirates. Nearly everyone I know prefers pirate though (but I'm sure a nice ninja-chick could kick most of their arses). Not sure about the fight, but it would surely be worth the watch. |
| #20princenicyOct 05, 2008 18:28:07 | A viking slaughters them both. |
| #21dirtyfrankOct 05, 2008 18:48:43 | Minjas are the reason why ninjas are better than pirates. |
| #22jimbo7987Oct 05, 2008 18:56:18 | pirates |
| #23ocarina_guyOct 05, 2008 20:11:49 | I think we know the real answer here. SOLDIERs. Why? Because of the big honkin' swords. Do you see pirates or ninja with oversized weaponry? No. No, you don't. |
| #24minja_dupOct 05, 2008 20:18:17 | Minja tosses in her vote for the ninja. :D |
| #25dirtyfrankOct 05, 2008 20:19:41 | A viking slaughters them both. If my memory serves me correctly vikings were Nordic pillagers, plunderers, raiders, and pirates. So through reasoning, a vote for vikings is a vote for pirates. |
| #26ocarina_guyOct 05, 2008 20:25:48 | If my memory serves me correctly vikings were Nordic pillagers, plunderers, raiders, and pirates. But vikings were Norse, and therefore not classical pirates. The pirates in the Ninja vs. Pirates debate are the Pirates of the Caribbean style pirates, and vikings didn't tend to have wenches or rum. |
| #27dirtyfrankOct 05, 2008 20:29:58 | Minja tosses in her vote for the ninja. :D *raises hand in concern* Are ninjas and pirates allowed to vote. *dirty starts to look concerned* I mean that if they aren't currently allowed to vote then they should. *starts to cower* I don't want to be killed by a minja. *carefully starts to observe surroundings* |
| #28dogrundOct 05, 2008 20:35:16 | Pirates have stolen my heart and here's why: 1.Pirates kick ass! We get to cruise around the seas spreading our seed in every town (which is then later burned down by the pirates) and take gold and booze. While being able to hang from a ceiling throwing butter knifes at people is kinda cool, pirate just barge in with his crew and BAM! everyone screams, most females raped, target and others killed and then later sold to slave traders. So look at it this way, Ninja=Boring life of servitude Pirate= Life of kicking ass. 2. It has been decreed by the almighty FSM that pirates are indeed the best and the lack of pirates ( and pirate worship) is causing Global Warming. You like ninjas, you like seeing penguins, baby seals, and polar bears die. 3. Bittorent (Self Explanatory) . You see because of Internet Pirates like (not) me, were slowly stopping Global warming from getting to us. Join them (don't unless you know the consequences)! On the issue of who can beat Chuck Norris, FSM, Segata Sanshiro, Gary Gygax and a Cyber T-rex with laser eyes and god mode haxx could all beat him. |
| #29doomsoughtOct 05, 2008 20:56:20 | 3. Bittorent (Self Explanatory) . You see because of Internet Pirates like (not) me, were slowly stopping Global warming from getting to us. Join them (don't unless you know the consequences)! I've had Bittorent, and it sucks, micro-torrent, the peer-to-peer ninja whups its ass hands down. Oh, and did I mention micro-torrent is not much bigger than two unformatted word files, that is 216 kb. |
| #30dirtyfrankOct 06, 2008 0:17:49 | |
| #31rizen_isstaria_dupOct 06, 2008 0:27:29 | Well pirates have "lords", their called captains. The captain is the leader, so don't they serve him to an extent? Who's to say that the ninja's lord can't be someone like a pirate. |
| #32ocarina_guyOct 06, 2008 1:03:24 | Let's see here... Pirates have Captain Jack. Ninja have Dr. McNinja. Pirates have cannon. Ninja have ninja-to. Pirates have Dread Pirate Roberts. Ninja have minjas. Hmmmmm... Decisions, decisions... |
| #33dirtyfrankOct 06, 2008 1:23:49 | Hay, minjas are dangerous so don't take them lightly. |
| #34tiwaztyrsfistOct 06, 2008 2:17:30 | I vote for that abomination, that most fearsome preditor of the seas and shadows, that high flying, swashbuckling, kung-fu monstrosity... The Ninja Pirate. In their galleon, painted black, they wait, Cutlass in one hand, Ninja-to in the other, in the calm seas at the dead of night, under the dark of the moon. Soon, thier prey is sighted. A fat Portugese trader, rich with gold, tea, and opium. The ship slides through the water with nary a sound. The portugese traders suspect nothing. Before the lookout even realizes anything is wrong, a Ninja Pirate is already behind him in the crows nest. Two month later, the derilict ship is found. All hands dead at their posts or in bed, not a single knife drawn from sheath or pistol from holster. The holds are empty, save for a single black crysantimum blossom, now dry, pinned to the brim of the captains hat. Ninja-Pirates! New this fall on FOX saturday mornings. |
| #35jimprofitOct 06, 2008 6:49:37 | I'm working on a webcomic series and I did one about this debate..![]() |
| #36m-barkOct 06, 2008 6:58:28 | But vikings were Norse, and therefore not classical pirates. The pirates in the Ninja vs. Pirates debate are the Pirates of the Caribbean style pirates, and vikings didn't tend to have wenches or rum. Arguably then, the actual ninja would win over what most people see as a ninja. The modern day pop cultural view of ninja is only a little bit of what classical ninja were like. Those were not just assassins, moreso spies. Instead of wearing black all the time, your fellow peasant could be a ninja in disguise. Heck, all the pirates could be ninjas in disguise, really! Well pirates have "lords", their called captains. The captain is the leader, so don't they serve him to an extent? Am I the only one made to think of Therkla by this post? |
| #37shamurai7Oct 06, 2008 11:57:30 | I'm working on a webcomic series and I did one about this debate.. so does this mean that ninjas are EMOS????? i certainly hope not, because if so i need to change my thought process. |
| #38ADHadhOct 06, 2008 12:05:07 | If there's going to be a new Monkey Island game (and I've heard somewhere there is), they should put some ninjas in. |
| #39doomsoughtOct 06, 2008 19:40:28 | Don't forget that ninjas also have US special forces, seals, and Master chief. Look up halo, not just the video game, also the military program. Pirates can't stand up to gun-ninjas. |
| #40ocarina_guyOct 06, 2008 20:16:51 | If there's going to be a new Monkey Island game (and I've heard somewhere there is), they should put some ninjas in. Ninja are already in. Ninja are everywhere. In fact, there are six ninja on this post. Can you find them TOO LATE! They shuriken'd you! |
| #41zombie_babiesOct 07, 2008 8:37:43 | Ahem. Ninjas. Pirates.Thank you. |
| #42umbralknightOct 07, 2008 8:49:00 | Ninjas for the win, no doubt. |
| #43baneofelvesOct 07, 2008 12:20:07 | Well pirates have "lords", their called captains. The captain is the leader, so don't they serve him to an extent? Eh, you sort of have it. The pirates only obey their captain because he's too powerful to overthrow and he makes it worth their while to work for him. But unlike a Ninja, they have no undying loyalty. Their primary loyalty is to themself. Pirates constantly disobeyed (and betrayed) the captain, they just tried to make sure they didn't get caught. |
| #44CaptnMorgrimOct 07, 2008 13:43:06 | Well, guess I throw me vote fer, ye poxy bunch o' fools-in-pyjamas-lovin' landlubbin' swabs. Anyways, 'ere it is... Captn Morgrim's vote Evil litte Dragons and Kittens! |
| #45rizen_isstaria_dupOct 07, 2008 16:40:22 | What if there as a Viking Pirate Ninja... There wouldn't be blood in his veins, there would be magma ! |
| #46princenicyOct 07, 2008 16:47:36 | What if there as a Viking Pirate Ninja... There wouldn't be blood in his veins, there would be magma ! There is one in existence. It's called Chuck Norris. |
| #47ranger_regOct 07, 2008 20:39:39 | Ninjas. Really? Where his ninja-to? |
| #48ranger_regOct 07, 2008 20:41:04 | Ahem. Ahem. Zombies. Babies.Thank you. ![]() |
| #49baneofelvesOct 07, 2008 21:42:35 | Captain Morgrim, can I join yer crew? |
| #50ocarina_guyOct 07, 2008 23:51:22 | Can I be yer sneakthievin' expert? Yarr? |
| #51Lord_VentnorOct 07, 2008 23:59:08 | I've come to this conclusion after minutes of prolonged and deep thought on the matter: Pirates would win. How, you ask? It's simple. Pirates are filthy, stinking rich. This is evidenced by the fact that they have to bury their excess gold on deserted islands, or else their ships would sink under the enormous weight of their cash. Anyway, it would be a simple matter for pirates to hire ninjas to take on the ninjas that are opposing them. $ = Power As to Chuck Norris vs. Cyborg Pirate Ninja Jesus? Real Jesus defeats them with power of love. |
| #52ocarina_guyOct 08, 2008 0:14:35 | No, man. Zoidberg Jesus owns them all with his magic pogo stick! |
| #53zombie_babiesOct 08, 2008 8:55:00 | Ahem. In the immortal words of Brock Samson: Ha! :D |
| #54dirtyfrankOct 08, 2008 9:05:02 | Would Brock Samson be a pirate or a ninja? I personally think that he is more of a ninja. If he is a ninja then ninjas are much better than pirates. |
| #55zombie_babiesOct 08, 2008 10:09:02 | Yar! :D Umm, seriously (?) though, while Brock has certainly demonstrated his ninja-ness on many an occasion, he has also shown us some piratical behavior. He's held knives in his teeth and fought on and in water. So we must conclude that Brock is an example of the ever rare Ninja-Pirate - not to be confused with the equally rare Pirate-Ninja. Brock is ninja first, pirate second. |
| #56dirtyfrankOct 08, 2008 10:11:39 | I thought that he was body guard first, ninja second, and pirate third. |
| #57zombie_babiesOct 08, 2008 10:16:22 | Interesting. Though is it not possible for one to be a Ninja that bodyguards? I'm not sure if "Bodyguard" deserves it's own classification as a type. |
| #58dirtyfrankOct 08, 2008 10:21:55 | I guess a ninja could be a body guard if the body guard can strike quickly and quietly. I guess the ninja body guard is the body guard that is never seen or whose capabilities are extremely unknown. |
| #59zombie_babiesOct 08, 2008 10:26:47 | And that, my friend, is what makes him the perfect bodyguard. |
| #60CaptnMorgrimOct 09, 2008 6:05:21 | Baneofelves, Ocarina Guy, ye fellows be more than welcome amongst me crew o' cutthroats! There 's rum and plunder aplenty fer all o' us t' go around. On a sidenote: Real ninjas, well I could respect 'em... as long as they 're not suckin' up t' some bleedin' lordling. |
| #61melchizedekOct 10, 2008 12:52:19 | This whole "ninjas serve a lord" argument reminds me of a line from St. Augustine's City of God: "for what I do with one ship, I am called a thief; though you do it with an entire fleet, and are called an emperor." Simply put, feudal lords are just pirates with enough clout to rule a fiefdom. Personally, I think these "ninja vs. pirate" debates are just an attempt to draw attention away from the group clearly superior to both: Cowboys. Ninjas may kill with stealth and pirates may raid and pillage, but cowboys were willing to wipe out entire civilizations and act like they didn't exist. Not to mention their tremendous political savvy; Germany has a cowboy to thank for it's reunification and freedom from Russian rule. Pirates may have Captain Jack, ninjas may have Dr. McNinja, but cowboys have Malcom Reynolds; and he's a space-cowboy, which = win. |
| #62CaptnMorgrimOct 10, 2008 13:46:17 | "for what I do with one ship, I am called a thief; though you do it with an entire fleet, and are called an emperor." Hell, that reminds of Captain Bellamy’s speech to Captain Beer: “D-m my bl—d, I am sorry they won’t let you have your Sloop again, for I scorn to do any one a Mischief, when it is not for my Advantage; damn the Sloop, we must sink her and she might of Use to you. Tho’, damn ye, you are a sneaking puppy, and so are all those who submit to be governed by Laws which rich Men have made for their own security, for the cowardly whelps have not the Courage otherwise to defend what they got by their Knavery; but damn ye altogether: Damn them for a pack of crafty rascals, and you, who serve them, for a Parcel of henhearted Numbskuls. They villify us, the scoundrels do, when there is only this Difference, they rob the Poor under the Cover of Law, forsooth, and we plunder the Rich under the Protection of our own Courage.; had you not better make one of us, than sneack after the asses of those Villains for Employment? Your are a devilish Conscience [conscientious]rascal, d-m ye, I am a free Prince, and I have as much Authority to make War on the whole World, as he who has a hundred Sails of Ships at Sea and an Army of 100.000 Men in the Field; and this my Conscience tells me; but there is no arguing sith such snivelling Puppies, who allow Superiors to kick them about Deck at Pleasure; and pin their Faith upon a Pimp of a Parson; a Squab, who either pratices nor believes what he puts upon the chuckle-headed Fools he preaches to.” – Cap’n Bellamy, 1717 Source: Captain Charles Johnson, "The General History of the Pyrates" No sneaky little Ninja or bow-legged Cowboy could come wi' anything as brilliant (and cunningly ripped off St. Augustine's if ye think so), hurhurhurhur! On a sidenote, e'en that wimp Rackham would 'ave kicked olde Ronny's backside - and Gorby's too - from 'ere t' the Astral Sea! But that 's far more merciful than what Anne Bonny, Mary Read or Blackbeard would 'ave done t' him, mark me words.* *No, not with the 4e "mark": there's no -2 to attack rolls with words, ya silly swab! |
| #63AerodythOct 10, 2008 14:31:09 | With the whole gun vs. crossbow argument, crossbows are silent and can have poison applied to ensure death. Guns are loud with good psychological value but take longer to reload and reuse but you can pistol whip with them. (note for gun I am using a flintlock) Ninjas win hands down because they can act like pirates while on mission if infiltrating a pirate ship or can be one on their off time to throw off any suspicious of them being a ninja. |

| #68NivedOct 10, 2008 21:43:26 | Pirates are just degenerate second rate vikings. Vikings for the win. |
| #69the_jewOct 11, 2008 1:29:21 | pirates are not protected by the geneva convention but vikings are, so in short viking really know what they are doing. (the viking lawyers are the scariest of the bunch) |
| #70dirtyfrankOct 11, 2008 1:43:12 | pirates are not protected by the geneva convention but vikings are, so in short viking really know what they are doing. (the viking lawyers are the scariest of the bunch) I would think that a viking lawyer is scary. I mean not only can he/she fly into a rage and destroy nearly everything nearby with his/her greataxe, but the viking lawyer also is a great speaker, awesome tactician and graduated from Harvard (or was it Stanford?). What I am trying to say is that a viking with a higher education is always dangerous and should not be taken lightly. |
| #71ranger_regOct 11, 2008 1:55:01 | Ninjas are WAY more fun to cosplay as then pirates. Especially the female kunoichi costume. :P But they still can't beat the sexy Slave Leia costume. |

Especially after his playing ball with Samson in the anime. And taking on hell with only one arm, one eye and a broken sword. And living. Oh, and Vikings kill Pirates kill Ninjas do not kill Vikings. And Chuck Norris would pwn Jesus, if they weren't already friends and taking on Giant-Mutant-Wing-Satan-Chan. |

| #88dirtyfrankOct 18, 2008 16:45:08 | Sephiroth? Jesus can be killed. The difficulty with fighting Jesus is that he resurrects himself in a few days. Defeating Jesus requires a person to contain him not kill him. Although containing him may be difficult because he is known to have access to a few miracles. The myths and mysticism with ninjas is that they have magic and miracles at their disposal, so maybe Jesus is a type of ninja? |
| #89annoyinglizardvoiceOct 18, 2008 17:08:12 | By Link, do you mean the one of Legend of Zelda? If so, why's he on the list? I haven't seen all the games, but he always seemed a bit of a wimp to me. |
| #90baneofelvesOct 18, 2008 20:41:56 | Link is cooler in Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. They finally ditched his stupid little kid appearance. |
| #91Lord_VentnorOct 19, 2008 1:10:49 | Link is cooler in Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. They finally ditched his stupid little kid appearance. Really, Kid Link isn't badass? I'll remind you, he slays several monsters 10 times his size before puberty, and kicks the ass of an immortal sorcerer man to boot. I'll grant you that Adult Link is cooler (especially with At-Will Lycanthropy), but little Link is hardly a wimp. |
| #92stealthmarmotOct 20, 2008 8:48:02 | Jesus can be killed. The difficulty with fighting Jesus is that he resurrects himself in a few days. Are you saying Jesus is a LICH? That's a terrible thing to say. You should be ashamed. Defeating Jesus requires a person to contain him not kill him. Who you gonna call? |
| #93Cpt_MichaOct 20, 2008 8:58:32 | Jesus as a Lich... that makes too much sense. Of course he could be a 3e ghost as well with how they are described as always coming back.. Side note.. Pirates are awesome. More awesome than Ninja. |
| #94dirtyfrankOct 20, 2008 8:58:35 | Are you saying Jesus is a LICH? That's a terrible thing to say. You should be ashamed. I'm not calling him a lich but instead saying that he performs the resurrection ritual while he is dead. Who you gonna call? Ghost Busters!?!?!?! ![]() Are you saying that Jesus is a ghost? |
| #95stealthmarmotOct 20, 2008 9:07:20 | Ghost Busters!?!?!?! http://13gb.com/media/images/ghost_busters_jesus.jpg |
| #96annoyinglizardvoiceOct 20, 2008 11:35:11 | Really, Kid Link isn't badass? In the games I've played (granted not many), he kills some rather silly monsters using rather silly methods. The critters may be big, but that doesn't stop them from being daft cartoons. |
| #97minja_dupOct 20, 2008 19:18:33 | Side note.. Ninja's rule. Pirates drool. |
| #98kerbOct 20, 2008 20:12:51 | But wait. Ghost pirates or zombie ninjas? |
| #99ocarina_guyOct 20, 2008 23:44:41 | Here's what wins: Ninja pirate viking Dr. Zoidberg Jesus--with a rocket launcher that shoots Chuck Norris--riding Godzilla. |
| #100dirtyfrankOct 21, 2008 0:21:19 | But wait. Ghost pirates or zombie ninjas? zombie ninjas are about as agile as vampires so zombie ninjas are better than pirates, especially ghost pirates. |
| #101baneofelvesOct 21, 2008 13:32:56 | Really, Kid Link isn't badass? I never said Kid Link was a wimp. And Kid Link is a badass, but not enough of one (IMO) to make it on a list of ultimate badassery. I just think he looks goofy and dumb in his younger version. |
| #102ADHadhOct 21, 2008 14:34:50 | The myths and mysticism with ninjas is that they have magic and miracles at their disposal, so maybe Jesus is a type of ninja? He even walked on water, like Naruto! |
| #103dirtyfrankOct 21, 2008 15:22:47 | He even walked on water, like Naruto! See, even more proof that Jesus is a ninja. Also, I hear that Jesus has a skill that turns water into wine. I also hear that he has several healing techniques. Wow, Jesus is one powerful ninja. ![]() |
| #104minja_dupOct 21, 2008 18:26:16 | zombie ninjas are about as agile as vampires so zombie ninjas are better than pirates, especially ghost pirates. Are we talking original Night of the Living Dead zombies, or are we talking 28 Days Later zombies as Ninjas. I would say that 28 Day Later zombie ninjas absolutely kick ! I would not want to run into those. |
| #105baneofelvesOct 21, 2008 18:36:31 | Technically, in 28 days/weeks later, people are just infected with the rage virus. It's not a corpse animating virus like in Resident Evil, or like the Flood parasite from the Halo games. It just makes you go insane with anger and want to bite anything that runs away screaming. Or you can just spit blood in their mouth/eyes/open wounds. Man, that movie's great. I know what I'm going to be watching at midnight. |
| #106dirtyfrankOct 21, 2008 18:59:53 | Are we talking original Night of the Living Dead zombies, or are we talking 28 Days Later zombies as Ninjas. I would say that 28 Day Later zombie ninjas absolutely kick All ninjas are quick and dexterous, so if a zombie is a ninja then by default the zombie is quick and dexterous. This principle applies to everything. |

Even though they may not technically be the reanimated corpses of vodou tradition, call it 28 Days Later, or Dawn of the Dead remake Zombie Ninjas are just freaky. ;) Or for that matter, how about Vampire monks? ![]() BTW it is a great movie. Mmmmm, silky zombie smoothness..... |
| #108baneofelvesOct 21, 2008 19:04:15 | All ninjas are quick and dexterous, so if a zombie is a ninja then by default the zombie is quick and dexterous. This principle applies to everything. how does it work that way? Zombies are naturally sluggish in movement. Just because they were a ninja in life makes them quick and dextrous? I don't think so. They are faster than the average zombie though, since most zombies were average humans in life, and ninjas are not average. But ninja zombies wouldn't be as fast as you're saying. |
| #109dirtyfrankOct 21, 2008 19:09:09 | You say pota-TOE, I say pot-AHH-to. Zombies is zombies. Even though they may not technically be the reanimated corpses of vodou tradition, call it 28 Days Later, or Dawn of the Dead remake Zombie Ninjas are just freaky. ;) Monks are as agile as ninjas and vampires hide in shadows and use charms so would this mean that a Vampire monk is the same as a Vampire ninja? |

Even though they may not technically be the reanimated corpses of vodou tradition, call it 28 Days Later, or Dawn of the Dead remake Zombie Ninjas are just freaky. ;) ok, we can agree to disagree here. But remember, is there a cure for zombies after they become a zombie? No. In Resident Evil, the cure only had a 30-50% chance of working, IIRC. And it only worked before the subject died from the disease. Flood-infected zombies were just screwed. But the rage infected people from 28 days later did have a chance. Remember, in 28 weeks later, the mother and the son (and possibly the daughter) had a immunity to the virus, and the military nurse wanted to use the mother to help people by curing them. So, they aren't zombies. Very similar, identical in almost every way, but not zombies. And that's my argument, and I'm stickin with that till I come up with a better one. I want to hear responses to this! It's fun arguing about pirate-zombie-vampire-ninjas. EDIT: As for vampires, that would make an awesome ninja. They'd just have to be nocturnal and stick to the shadows, but that doesn't seem like a huge problem EDIT 2: Minja, you're freakin me out here. It sounds like the rage infected people turn you on. That's just WRONG (I hope I misunderstood what you were saying about silky zombie smoothness) |
| #111dirtyfrankOct 21, 2008 19:13:00 |
I am referring to zombies that train to become ninjas. It doesn't matter who you are when you are raised as a zombie you have non of your life skill to differentiate you from other zombies. If a zombie wishes to become a ninja then they must train hard, and with enough hard work, dedication, and the proper magic a zombie can become quite a deadly ninja. |

I didn't think of it that way. Nevermind, zombies could make good ninjas if they put enough effort into it, but most lack the patience to do anything besides eat people and be target practice for teenagers with shotguns and machetes. |
| #113dirtyfrankOct 21, 2008 19:24:10 | Ahh. I didn't think of it that way. Nevermind, zombies could make good ninjas if they put enough effort into it, but most lack the patience to do anything besides eat people and be target practice for teenagers with shotguns and machetes. Biting people in the jugular is a good way for a zombie ninja to kill people. The thing that separates them from regular zombies is that they have learned to repress their urge to moan and to eat their victim. They have learned the bite and release technique followed by retreating to the shadows. |
| #114minja_dupOct 21, 2008 19:29:50 | I want to hear responses to this! It's fun arguing about pirate-zombie-vampire-ninjas. Why did you have to bring pirates back into this? They are lame. ![]() EDIT: As for vampires, that would make an awesome ninja.

So I now have two options for those with poor marksmanship skills. A) use them as the targets for the skilled shooters or B) let my zombie ninjas practice their skills by eliminating them. :evillaugh ![]() ![]() |
| #116dirtyfrankOct 21, 2008 19:34:09 | I now want to play a zombie ninja in 3rd edition, but the problem is that I don't have a DM to run an undead campaign for me. ![]() |
| #117baneofelvesOct 21, 2008 19:35:40 | Why did you have to bring pirates back into this? They are lame. Pirates are lame huh? Ever hear of an awesome band called Alestorm that makes music about pirates? It's got all the good stuff, raiding, wenches, booze, treasure, quests, mutiny, curses. . .HOW CAN YOU NOT LIKE THAT?! (and it's heavy metal too. which is by default awesome) IS THERE A BAND ABOUT NINJAS? I'm STILL waiting on this one. Any ninja bands out there? *crickets chirp while I wait for an answer* Oh well, I can just stick with my Pirate Metal, and my Orc Metal (a Band of Orcs! No, I'm not paid to spread word about these guys, I wish I was though) while I wait for someone to tell me about a heavy metal band that makes songs about ninjas. And besides, anyone who gets drunk is a pirate! anyone who is a pirate actually LIVES. Unlike the cold, unfeeling, emotionless ninjas. And I've been drunk before too! So I'm a pirate! I find it insulting that you say I'm lame Minja! Better to be a Pirate that enjoys life than a midget ninja! (sorry, I couldn't resist) |
| #118baneofelvesOct 21, 2008 19:37:09 | I now want to play a zombie ninja in 3rd edition, but the problem is that I don't have a DM to run an undead campaign for me. Hey, if you move to Redding CA, I can run one for you. Undead adventures/campaigns are my specialty. |
| #119dirtyfrankOct 21, 2008 19:40:15 | A bound about ninjas would go against the stealthiness nature of ninjas. Also songs about ninjas may accidentally leak secret ninja tactics, which would be bad news for the ninja industry. |
| #120dirtyfrankOct 21, 2008 19:42:24 | Hey, if you move to Redding CA, I can run one for you. Undead adventures/campaigns are my specialty. It's OK, I'll stay near Sacramento for now. I just need to keep the zombie ninja thought in my head until I can find a local DM that will be willing to start such a game. |
| #121baneofelvesOct 21, 2008 19:43:07 | But they have no band. People in bands are popular and loved. So people love Orcs and Pirates and Dragons and Gangsters and a bunch of other stuff, but NOT ninjas. :P |
| #122baneofelvesOct 21, 2008 19:45:02 | It's OK, I'll stay near Sacramento for now. I just need to keep the zombie ninja thought in my head until I can find a local DM that will be willing to start such a game. aww. I was hoping for a new player. (actually, it's prolly for the best. Most christians in Redding, and there are a lot, believe me, are intolerant of D&D players.) |
| #123kerbOct 21, 2008 21:11:26 | Wow, as much as I enjoyed the "spirited"(pun regretfully intended) sub-topic of zombie ninjas and ghost pirates, i had in fact meant to write robot ninjas and ghost pirates. I must have had zombies on the brrrraaaaiiiiinnnnn (get it? Zombie.....Brain?....God make the puns go away). |

I must have had zombies on the brrrraaaaiiiiinnnnn (get it? Zombie.....Brain?....God make the puns go away). Robot ninjas are also deadly. They have all kinds of gadgets and they are extremely strong. They can be built for both speed and stealth. Also if one was built with that contraption from Ghost Busters then it would have no problem defeating a ghost pirate. |
| #125baneofelvesOct 21, 2008 22:13:02 | well, I have reconsidered my stance on pirates vs. ninjas. But pirates are still awesome. |
| #126zombie_babiesOct 22, 2008 8:38:07 | Mmmmm, silky zombie smoothness..... I need an adult! I need an adult! ![]() |
| #127Cpt_MichaOct 22, 2008 8:46:37 | But everyone knows Sky Pirates dominate over ninja! Or the Astral Pirate..... the ultimate in hit and run raiding...... |

| #129zombie_babiesOct 22, 2008 9:05:51 | *pssssst* It's a joke. |
| #130dirtyfrankOct 22, 2008 9:18:28 | ZB you made a good suggestion. Everyone should have someone near by, for comfort, when Minja is around (especially an adult). |

| #132zombie_babiesOct 22, 2008 11:35:40 | Scott Weiland? Badass? I had no idea heroin addiction was considered bad-ass ... |
| #133boj0Oct 22, 2008 12:04:09 | Scott Weiland? Badass? I had no idea heroin addiction was considered bad-ass ... Oh it is bad, espescially when you inject the needle into said ass. |
| #134zombie_babiesOct 22, 2008 12:21:57 | Oh it is bad, espescially when you inject the needle into said ass. Interesting. You have changed my mind, sir. As long as the bad substance is injected into the ass cheek, said injector is badass. Odd, but most assuredly true. Well done! |
| #135Cpt_MichaOct 22, 2008 12:34:22 | Who said the cheek? I was thinking for it to be "real badassery" it'd have to be right on the ***hole itself *L* |

| #139baneofelvesOct 22, 2008 20:03:52 | Why isn't Dante from Devil May Cry on the list? He's badass. And his brother Vergil. Why aren't they there? And Trogdor! Where is Trogdor? He's the ultimate badass! |
| #140ocarina_guyOct 22, 2008 22:46:59 | Ah, sky pirates. Coolest kind of pirate there is. Also, there IS a ninja band. They're called Shadow Warriors. Although they're pretty poor ninja if we know about them... |
| #141m-barkOct 23, 2008 6:35:31 | You know, I would think that if we took lycanthropic versions of anything bad-ass (Were-ninjas! Were-pirates! Were-cyborgs! Were-zombies! Were-Chucks! Were-Jesi!) and took their blood, we could make everything bad-ass. |
