Following some debating between Ninjas and pirates, I've added a new contestant to the debate. Do you like samurais better, ninjas better, or pirates better? Remember that they are mostly disbanded and gone now, but let's say if you were to join one of the classes, which would you join?

Pirates - Uh, probably never
Ninja - Very cunning, stealthy and proud. Love to be one of those.
Samurai - They look awesome! Wouldn't mind being this one either.

I'm gonna choose Samurai, because I used to watch Samurai Jack all the time. I loved that show, but they played too many re-runs.

I'm offended. One day I wanna be a pirate (at least for a day) and they most certainly do nothing off the sort described in the quote. As explained before in my opinon pirates are the best. Samurais and ninjas have been poluted by western popular media (as have pirates to an extent...stupid pirates of the caribean). Pirates are so varied from Teach to Morgan and have a history stretching back millenia before the other to options here.

I was joking sorry my smily face should have moved up somewhat I like the out-law aspect of it a bit o' robin hood except your the poor. Or you could be a privateer safer and richer.

Pirates = Dirty scumbags

Pirates are hated by most law abiding governments.

You wouldn't always find gold and silver.

You would be typically killing people for commodities.

That means you won't be going on awesome adventures every day.

Pirates have very few allies. They usually kill each other.

Pirates cannot quit. Either you survive to old age, or die in your piracy career.

That's a good point when comparing them to pirates.

Harsh. but an opinon so whatever

Pirates are hated by most law abiding governments.


Well that is very dependble on where you are looking from. Many governtemts hired pirates as privateers. And when Henry Morgan sacked spain he was knighted.

Pirates tended to use intimidation rather than plain murder. They'd hoist the jolly rodger bored scare people and run with the loot. blackbeard the archetypal pirate with one of the most feroscious reputations has no verifiable reports od deaths. He would weave fuses into his bard and light them (which would scare me into givong my money away)

They usually kill each other.


Pirates lived by a very strict code. Which they ad to swear an oath to. Some cool points include:
1.Every man has a vote in affairs of moment; has equal title to the fresh provisions
2. No person to game at cards or dice for money.
3. The lights and candles to be put out at eight o'clock at night (bed time)
4. No striking one another on board
5. The musicians to have rest on the Sabbath Day.

Pirates cannot quit.


Blackbeard retired to Virginia and Morgan retired in Jamaica. As stated in the prtate code you could leave once you had made a certain amount of money.

Privateers. Well, if you refuse to be one you will still be hated. Even if you become a privateer, your nation's enemies will attempt to kill you. The reward for a successful career as a Privateer, was rewarding like you said.

It depends. Sure they can retire but they cannot simply "leave" immediately at any moment.

They could still kill each other. I am talking about different groups of pirates.

I should of made myself very clear. That's right. Though they still murder.

Harsh. but an opinon so whatever


Hehe. You love Pirates don't you?

A more accurate description of Pirates are people who loot, plunder, destroy and intimidate for wealth. They usually sail around.

Hahaha! You made me laugh.

Anyway, imagine you are a disgruntled pirate. You are not in the middle of the Caribbean, you are docked in a port town. You could escape if you wanted to. You wouldn't die in a deserted island. Though you wouldn't usually be allowed to simply go free. That's why mutiny is much more common.

I expected that you'd love Pirates due to your defense of Pirates.

It'd have to be a pirate.Samurai are just holier than thou Japanese style knights, ninjas are greasy assassins. Pirates are the way to go. The accent alone does it for me, let alone the badass facial hair.

Those are some good reasons to be a pirate.

As for me, if I got to pick anything aside from the three selections I would never pick any of these selections. I do not want to be a Samurai, nor a Ninja and not even a Pirate. However I must make a compromise and as I have said before I'd go with being a Samurai. Ninjas are just hired assassins and a life of piracy wouldn't suit me.
