Quote (Red Mage)

Team One Round Four
Link Vs God. Tough one. As Deep Thought would say: Tricky. My immediate response is to say that God, Pyro and Superman would make out okay but Link does have that damn annoying fairy and anyone within five miles of that damn thing wants it dead. Superman decides to waste it with his heat vision, this gives Link his opening and he stabs the Master Sword deep into Superman's chest. Kal-El's always been pretty vulnerable to magic and that's all the Master Sword is. There's a moment of silence and then Pyro let's loose with some fire. Link takes half a heart in damage and continues the slaughter to St. John. Now it's God Vs. Link. But more so it's two thirds of the trinity vs. Link. Without his Son he's just the Father and the Holy Spirit. He's at a significant disadvantage here. Link calls upon his own trinity, the triforce of power, takes the shot and defeats the King of Kings.

Quote ()

me: I trumpet the awesome that is Japanese culture as much as the next guy, and I used to agree that ninjas would win, but here are the winning arguments posed by my friends and family that made me vote Pirate.

Ninjas are hired hands. Pirates hire hands.

Today's ninjas are hackers, corporate spies, and the occasional lawyer.
But today's pirates are still known as pirates, and they still kill and rob people.

Ninjas had swords and perhaps the occasional poison dart and blade-chain.
Pirates have guns and still have guns. This makes them less cool I know, but it means they'd win in a fight.

However, one redeeming quality for Ninja is that there would never BE an all-out brawl between ninjas and pirates. Ninjas would kill the lookout and then sink the boat while the pirates slept, or maybe they would poison all the pirates.
9:32 AM Eon: Ey.
  You want to call ninjas corporate lawyers and such?
  Pirates these days are just nerds downloading stuff.
me: No, that's slang.
  There are still honest-to-god pirates.
Eon: snerk
  Honest-and-truly?
9:33 AM me: They rob people on the sea.
  They smuggle things, or sabotage people, or kill rival smugglers, and stuff
  Like, there was this one kid
  His ancestors basically escaped from the old country on a life raft
  and they were almost killed
  By. Pirates.
Eon: Smugglers are smugglers, pirates are pirates.
9:34 AM me: Read the last thing I said.
Eon: There's still ninjas too.
me: Pirates steal things and kill people.
Eon: Honest to god ninjas.
me: Don't tell me hitmen are ninjas.
Eon: NO
me: And don't tell me that people who learn ninjitsu are ninjas.
Eon: I'M SERIOUS.
9:35 AM There's HONEST TO GOD NINJAS.
me: Right. Assassins that work for warring factions?
Eon: No.
  Ninjas.
  As in Shuriken throwing
9:36 AM know every-single-pressure-point-that-exists-ninjas
me: Who do what?
  Practice?
  They're ninjas when they work for a faction.
  That's why I said corporate spies.
9:37 AM Eon: ..
me: Like I said
  knowing ninjutsu doesn't make you a ninja.
Eon: They're ninjas when they're goddamned ninjas.
me: Knowing ninjutsu does not make you a ninja!
  Being a fencer does not make me a duelist!
9:38 AM Knowing kung fu does not make me a monk!
Eon: Knowing how to fence makes you a fencer!
  Knowing kung fu makes you proficient at kung fu!
me: Well, being a ninja makes you a MARTIAL ARTIST.
  Not an assassin!
Eon: Partially.
me: ...
9:39 AM Eon: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ninja
9:41 AM me: okay look
  if these ninjas were out running missions, they'd be ninjas.
  My auntie goes to a freaking NAGINATA CLASS.
  That does not make her a whatever-you-call-people-who-were -good-with-naginatas.
Eon: Ninjas don't have to be going out on missions to be ninjas.
  This is not naruto.
9:42 AM me: Look, I can use a sword. This does not group me with 14th century duelists who killed people with the same skill set I have.
9:43 AM Eon: Just because people kill and loot people on the sea does not group them with the same group that has done the same.
me: Except that "pirates" was a general term back then, too
9:44 AM Eon: Look, if we can't standardize ninjas or pirates, we can't standardize it.
9:45 AM me: All right...
Eon: But someone needs to beat up Pocket.
  Let's hire a ninja AND a pirate.
  Just to make sure.
9:46 AM me: :3
9:47 AM I'm so posting this.

Quote (Karnak)

Light a man a fire and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

Quote (Translator)

with an average temperature and without noises. At the time of studying die aids to telivision, the radio and even to the music whose letter you know.

Quote (Strikeman)

The age old question: Who is cooler, ninjas or pirates?
