[SomeBritishDude]

Pirates ofcoarse. Indiana Jones puts it best.

Pirates have guns. Guns>Ninja weapons

 

[BlueInkAlchemist]

Yeah, but Pirates have wenches and rum.

And guns.

 

[Sennz0r]

I thought versus threads like this = lock?
Not such a good idea to start something like this up again I think, so I won't give you my opinion. Must...fight...urge..to...say...

...no, I'm good

 

[Neosage]

I'm voting Pirate, or I would if there was a poll. Ninja weren't trained for one-on-one honourable fighting.

And pirates were?

 

[Typhusoid]

Ninjas win. Imagine a lone Ninja in dark clothing stowing away on a ship, picking off the crew one by one, putting poison in their food...

Ninjas

 

[Bagaloo]

Ninjas all the way. They are highly trained; pirates are drunk most of the time!

 

[rossatdi]

Ninjas win. Imagine a lone Ninja in dark clothing stowing away on a ship, picking off the crew one by one, putting poison in their food...

Ninjas

Well no, but they had more experience.

Actually the whole damn pirates vs. ninjas meme really gets under my skin having studied European piracy in the Caribbean and personally looked up a lot of stuff about ninjas. They were both pretty lame. Especially compared to knights and samurai.

 

[Woundingisfun]

You cant see ninjas, so the choice is pretty obvious.

 

[cptbeaver]

Well though ninjas would actually win in a fight, pirates are so much cooler, see Monkey Island, ninja's would be outwitted by the fiendish Guybrush Threepwood.

 

[nekolux]

ninjas actually have martial arts training. They also understand the human anatomy well enough to know how to break someone easily. even if they were going head on the ninja can easily dislocate the pirate's arms then proceed to tea bag him =P

 

[Lord Beautiful]

Goku would win in a fight.
Cause that fucker always wins, even when he dies.

You beat me to it.

Seriously, though.

Goku is the shit. And Piccolo. We can't forget Piccolo, now can we?

Vikings... Hands Down. they are brutal dudes who roam around in boats with GIANT MOTHER****** AXES!!! and beards

 

[KarmicToast]

This has never been done before, hooray for originality!

By the way, a poll thread usually has a poll in it, I'm just letting you know.

Sometimes I read a post in a particular thread and don't want to write anything else since there is nothing else to say. I wish I could just second this and have it pass as a motion.

 

[teletran3]

NINJA PIRATES. Wenches, rum, stealth, ninja stars and guns.

 

[The_Anomaly]

I would have to say that pirates and ninjas would be 'bout even... Ninjas can attack stealthy, but pirates attack in numbers. Pirates have guns, but they could be a pain in thee arse if you have a one shot gun then reload type gun. Ninjas have ninja stars, but they would be horrible if there is wind involved. So honestly, they are even.

 

[darkless]

Ninja pirates FTW but if i can only choose one then pirates when was the last time you seen a ninja with wenches.

 

[Tales of Golden Sun]

ninjas would win.
I don't see a pirate throwing knives at ninjas. They might throw bottles of rum but I think they'd rather drink it.

 

[SecretTacoNinja]

That depends, if it's between Ryu Hayabusa and the Straw Hat Pirates then my vote's for the latter. Sure he's a killing machine but Robin would snap his neck in 3 seconds...

Didn't Yahtzee just say that Ninjas and Pirates are two of the things nerds won't STFU about?

Because he's right on the money...

 

[ChromeAlchemist]

I'm voting Pirate, or I would if there was a poll. Ninja weren't trained for one-on-one honourable fighting. Throw them in a cage and the pirate is going to come out on top. Given a more expansive situation perhaps not, but I want a cage fight damn it.

but are you sure? Ninjas are masters of trickery, what stops them from using a flash bomb and then finishing them off? Or throwing a kunai or shuriken to injure them from a distance, then cutting them down with their swords?
