Ninjas do more backflipping. So ninjas.

Did you know that most ordinary ninja were not from the nobility, they were villagers and farmers, who learned to fight by any means necessary for their own self-preservation against the samurai

Hmm...

Grungy, likely diseased, unintelligent, belligerant, amoral, and apart of a gang of theivs or...

Highly trained assassins, that use weapons and stealth, not to mention all of the cool legends...

How could anyone vote for a pirate? Definitely a Ninja is far cooler.

ninjas by far. their cool, got awesome ****** weapons and are killing machines. and no offense but its easy to see a pirate sucks, because not only do they seem gay being on a boat for months at a time with nothing but dudes always searching for booty, but you know what you get when you add butt to the beginning of the word?

Let me see. You could be a major wimp and stab your enemies in the back.... Oooor, you could have some crazy drunkem plan thought up with all your mates and then go raid a ship where you get tons of money and more booze. Following which, you ravage every woman on board of the other ship and then sail along on you merry way. Plus, who knows of one single Ninja? I know of several pirates who's names will live forever.

I think you just pointed out ninjas were doing their job very well.
I personally have more respect of the ninjas. I can related better to the spies and information gatherers, than to pirates.

Realistically probably ninjas, maybe...
If I were back in their ages though I would rather be a pirate. I mean, raiding ships and whatever else pirates do make a living would be more fun in my opinion. I wouldn't have to worry about laws either
If there is something I want I take it, if you refuse I kill you and take all. Sounds more fun than having to remain a shadow.

Whoever thinks ninjas wear a black suit is very, very misguided.

If your goal is stealth, then anything that screams 'NINJA!' from 2 miles away won't cut it. Ninjas blend in and carry out their jobs from the inside out.

Of you course you can. Though anyone that knows something about you understands.

I read somewhere that dark blue would be better to fit with the night then black.

Is that problem? Being a pirate doesn't mean you'll automatically begin ******* your mates in the backside. There's a thing called prostitution. I'm not denying the fact that 'em people had gay sex when there weren't any women, I'm saying that it doesn't make them stereotypically effeminate.

Yeah, bash the pirates and glorify ninjas. Honestly, I find assassinating some Japanese people and participating in some feuds against warlords to be pretty bland. I'd rather loot the Spaniards of their precious silver. If I wanted to be Japanese, I'd be a samurai or a shogun. You can't merely dismiss pirates as being a bunch of petty thieves. If that were the case no one would give a **** about them and piracy wouldn't have been such a historical nuisance.

Sounds more fun than having to remain a shadow.


That sums it up for me.

I don't know if I'd consider murder fun.

Anyways, I guess it's all a matter of personal preference. I've always loved stealth. I don't know why, but I just have. That might be why Thief 3 is one of my all-time favourite games. Anyways, what I'm trying to say is that not everyone thinks stealth is as boring as you do, and not everyone thinks that robbing and slaying civilians is fun.

Besides, I don't like ships.

Well, ninjas were assassins for hire. They'd still be paid for murdering some rival warlord. Still, you have a point about civilians. I think stealth is fun, but ninja isn't.

Meh.

Ninja, definitely. They are skilled in assassination and wear black clothes to blend with the dark. They also have a wide range of weapons at their disposal.

Yeah, I guess that was a bit stupid of me. Still, ninjas did a lot of spying and such, in addition to assassinations. And as far as I know, though I'm no expert, the ninjas didn't kill civilians.

I'd still stick with the ninjas though. When I say I've always loved stealth, that's not an exaggeration. Stealth is freaking awesome.

Meh.

Bah.

There isn't really any historical evidence that ninjas were exclusively trotting around in black suits.
