Who likes Ninjas and Pirates?

[Psychotic Jim]

Speaking of ninjas, has anybody ever read The Tick comic book? They really should make a Ninja World in real life.

Wow, can I be cool and jaded, too?

Cool people don't say "wow", and jaded people don't ask questions. So, no.

"But I don't wanna be a pirate."

I don't care how many times I go to that site, I still chuckle at the idiocy.

Reason: I grew up with a friend who's younger brother spoke almost exactly like the way that site is written.

If I didn't know better, I'd swear that the site was written by him and he was serious.

Quite scary, actually. (Not to mention funny as all hell)

Bah - you guys know nothing of the true war between the Pirate and the Ninja.

But this guy does

A vast improvement over the empty-headed, one sided ninja propoganda of realultimatepower guy.

Because let's be honest here - ninjas are mooks.

I'm playing a nina in our campaign right now.

Cool! I'm playing a rosalita! We should get together sometime.

one-sided....that shows how much you know of the internal feuds of the pirates and ninjas.....you're probably a robot anyway.

Bah. All of those little things....well....robots and ninjas anyway....have been beaten by everybody's favorite Sprite Comic Artist. Of course, I'm talking about Fighter, of 8bit Theatre fame...

Look for the Archives, and find out the guest comic book artists. The comic itself is pretty funny, as well, but it has yet to challenge Pirates.

Pirates remain pure.

Well, _sometimes_ they are. Consider, for example, the movie Ninja Scroll. The protagonist Jubei is a ninja, and he is a one-man killing machine. I tried tallying up his kills, but lost count after the first 100 or so. However, many of the opponents he slices up are also ninjas, and they are indeed hapless mooks.

From this, we can deduce that the competence level of ninjas is inversely related to their strength of numbers. A ninja by himself is truly an army of one, unstoppable by anything that mere mortals could bring to bear. Ten ninjas, however, are much less deadly, and could be beaten off by a determined foe. A thousand ninjas are basically comic relief, who can barely keep from stabbing themselves in the foot with their ninja toes.

Ha ha! Ninja toes. In the foot. Ninja TOES. Get it? Get it?

Um.

1 theory is that ninjas radiate an interference field, which interacts with the fields of other ninjas and dampens their ability to act competently. Think of electromagnetism, where a moving electric field generates a magnetic field that acts against the original movement. And just as electromagnetic fields can turn brains into mush (cf the theories on mobile phones and brain cancer), so too does the ninja incompetence field turns their brains into mush.

Hope this helps!
