There can be many reasons for having your own favourite; e.g. least violent, most violent, romantic vision, most successful, least successful, brave etc.
If you had to name a favourite what would be yours?!
:eek:

Pirates suck. This coming from a proud member of the Ninja fedaration, pirates have no sence of honour and their fighting skills are horrendously bad. Pirates r t3h n00bs.

I like blackbeard. If I could grow a decent beard, I would die it black and tie red ribbions in it like he did his.

Pirates are murderous bastards who deserve to be hung when captured. I have fantasies of myself as a naval captain caturing a pirate vessel and executing the vicious criminals.

Reality is boring you know. ;)

Pirates have been and will be around longer than Ninjas, right? :confused:

There is no Ninja defence against a cannonball to the face.

Unless their swords can split the ball in half.

Wanna bet?

Oh they operate all over the place, they are just so amazing at being secretive and sneaky that nobody notices them.

Same as me. I am riding the mighty galleon "Nuestra Señora", dressed in red and gold, protecting la Corona from those bastards raiding OUR cities and burning OUR towns, raping us and killing our sons and husbands. I have a crew of people from every colony in the caribbean, a navigator from Veracruz, a mate from Cádiz, Yanomami archers, and aztec descended boarding parties, along with trusted tercios, dressed in the proud red and golden outfits, managing the cannons and the firearms.

I am known as the "Azote de Corsarios", the mistress of waves, with a guacamaya in my shoulder that from time to time screams "Death to bucaneers"...People give me part of their taxes so I can fight the scourges of the sea, and I distribute the unfair bounties of captured pirates amongst the populace.

After that, the alarm sets off and I have to get my morning shower...

Are you joking? Ninja's didn't have honor either. Unlike samurai who if they wanted to assassinate somebody had to wake the person up they wanted to kill.

Ninja's just assassinated the person.

Ninja's still rule though but so do pirates.

This shows who would win in a fight between a Ninja and a Pirate. :p

The rather annoying prickly thing in the Hanseatic League's collective side.

I like Drake or Morgan, for sheer balls on some of their choices.
