Pirates or Ninjas? (Home of the Taijituan Pirates! Yarr!)

[Khablan]

"Ah Talmann, lad, good thinkin' there!"

Capt'n Khabby tries on one if those skirts for size.

"I do believe I be already feelin' a draft to me nether regions!  Well done!"
"Here, Empire, ye can cover up them boxers with one o' these babies."

Peering at the huge over-the-shoulder boulder-holders in Gunner's hands, she blinks, then glances at PUR, then Allama, then down to her own chest.  Hmm.  Wishful thinkin' on his part, mayhap?  So she shrugs, and pats him on the head.

"Umm... those be very uh... very well made.  That they are.  Creative thinkin', I say.  Ye were hopin' for Pamela Sue Anderson to show up, mebbe?"

[Talmann]

* Talmann lols...     

[PoD Gunner]

*grins embarrassed and kicks Eduardo in the head* Ahmmm, Capt'n, Allama said she needed bigger so I delivered bigger...but, no worries, all it takes is a dive in the ocean and they will shrink to fit perfectly  although that last idea 'bout old Pam s'not that bad. As the daughter of a Viking she should be handy with sails...

[Bara]

Hey look! a Big X!

*Digs it open*

"YEY! CHAINSWORDS, IMPERIAL GUARD UNIFORMS and a Speedboat!"

*Takes the unifrom and the chiansword*

"Ahh...what should we do with the speed boat?"

[The Empire]

*Takes a chainsword, puts on a pair of Kasrkin BDU pants, rummages around a bit more in the chest*

YAY! An eviscerator!

*Straps the huge two-handed chainsword to my back and the normal chainsword to my belt*

[Allama]

No no, Gunner... I meant I needed a smaller one...

[The Empire]

Well, Al', hun, look at it this way, the bra's gunner has made are big enough to live in, at least for two people in each cup, so now we have the living issue solved. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink, y'know what I mean Gunner.

[PoD Gunner]

*kicks Eduardo harder* ahm...wha? Oh, look, a spring! We have fine drink-water!

[The Empire]

*watches Eduardo grab Gunner's foot when he's aboutto kick him again and start dragging Gunner towards the water*

"I thought you knew kicking crock's isn't the brightest idea..."

[Bara]

"check emp, FOR THE EMPOER!!!"

*Charges the croc with his chain sword going*

[Khablan]

Mama Khab is oblivious.  She's found another chest in that hole.  After peeking inside, she furtively glances around her while tucking something a gold box under her arm, and whistling an innocent tune, proceeds to stroll in a direct line toward her hut.  If anyone happened to look at just the right moment, they might have caught a glimpse of the letters on the top of it, "Godiv..."  

[Zimmerwald]

Pirates.  Let me say it again: pirates.

My reasons:

Pirate government was very democratic.  Crews chose their captains, and could remove them easily enough.

Pirates were definately more egalitarian than their counterparts on land.  The crew certainly got a better share of the booty than, say, a tennant farmer got from his labor.

Pirates preyed primarily on the upper class.  What exactly are you going to steal from the poor?  And which poor people own ships?

Ninjas, on the other hand, were governed by very heirarchical relationships.  They assassinated whomever their employer told them to, and no disobeying orders.  Ninjas were tools of the upper class used against the upper class. 

In other words, pirates are undoubtedly cooler than ninjas.

[Thyatira]

Funny to find this topic here. I just recently played a game of AD&D with my character as a ninja/pirate. I couldn't really decide which was cooler, so I chose to be both.

[Khablan]

Why not, best of both worlds.   

Eduardo, it is not nice to try to drown poor Gunner.  Shame on you, he raised you from an egg, he did!  Sat on you to keep you warm!  Tended you in sickness and in health!  Don't you feel terrible now?  Good.  Now drag 'im out o' that water and Jack can give him mouth-to-mouth.  Jack's gettin' a lot o' practice these days, methinks.

[Solnath]

"Alright, lads and lasses," Sol shouts as he appears from underneath the deck. "I have bad news and I have worse news. The bad news is, we're out of food. The worse news is, we're out of rum!"
