Well I've seen many pirates vs ninjas debates and I've seen the Pirates or vikings? thread, so I thought who'd win? Pirates or Mercenaries in any sitiuation I guess. Be creative. :D

Me likey rum!!

pirates, unless each individual mercenary is very well treated and paid

Considering many pirates were mercenaries, this is pointless.


Also, how are you defining mercenaries? A mercenary is anyone who fights for money and not state/idiological allegiances.

Pirates. They are the mercenaries, so they just take your money and set sail.

Buccaneers were pirates and mercenaries at the same time. I think they're my favourite history seamen.

Anyway, aye, these threads are getting shittier with each and every new one, can we stop now?

I still think we need a few more.

Pirates or Klingons?

Pirates or Orcs?

Pirates or Predator?

Pirates or different Pirates?

This question amounts to a who would win scenario like this:

Who would win, elephants, or pachyderms whose current location is in some body of water?

I still think we need a few more.

Pirates or Klingons?

Pirates or Orcs?

Pirates or Predator?

Pirates or different Pirates?

Or:
Pirates or NSG?
LG or Mad Hatters?
LG or NSG?
Me or LG?
You or LG?
Meh, I´m bored now.:(

Mercenaries have Christopher Walken and the best pirate I've seen is Johnny depp

course some mercenaries are also ninjas so thats that settled

I still think we need a few more.

pirates or NSG!

edit: omg group think
edit2: whiskey beats rum as does most alcohol

Pirates or different Pirates?

pirates. the different pirates are too drunk to fight well.

Hmmmm... Who would win Pirates or Mercenaries? I say my foot up their ass would do well and they would both die so thats that.

Collective soul? Maybe... like... Puppet master!!!:eek:

Pirates or Klingons?

Pirates or Orcs?

Pirates or Predator?

Exactly, "" is too broad a term...If you mean Mercenaries / PMCs like Blackwater (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackwater_Worldwide) then the Pirates would get the stuffing knocked out of them...However, If you mean Mercenaries in the Roman sense,roving bands of barbarians, the Pirates would easily win.

Or you could get an army of warrior-pirate-freedom fighter-folk hero-rebels (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pier_Gerlofs_Donia)

Also, I'm sick of the Pirate threads, someone make a Ninja or Samurai or [Insert Warrior Group Here] one

If by "mercenaries", you mean Condottieri, then I say that the mercenaries would win on land, but the pirates would carry the day at sea.

If by "mercenaries", you mean anyone armed with a sub-machine gun, I do not believe that that question requires answering.

Meh, ninjas will win.

Harvest moar vespene gases!

Do you not mean: "We require more vespene gas"?

Do you not mean: "We require more vespene gas"?

What the heck is vespene gas?

Pirates for one reason - Errol Flynn

Have you never played StarCraft?

Nope. Care to tell me what vespene gas is? Pweese.

It is one of two resources (the other being Minerals) that can be harvested in the game.

Yes, I had sex ed, but in a normal school, not in Trekkidom, you know.

This thread is about as pointless as a discuss about a fight between a Zombie Jew and Jesus.

I see. Thanks. Sorry for my lack of knowledge there. I like videogames, but a certain kind. I´ve never heard of Starcraft before, that´s why I asked.:p

Listen, if you think this is a joke...that I'm just gonna let you sit here in ignorance then--*laughs softly*--you got another thing comin'. (Insert some battle cry along the lines of "Let's go kick some Zerg butt!")

Precisely.

Personally I'd just hire the best crew of pirates going.

Umm... are you aware that the term 'mercenary' is somewhat vague?

One cannot judge the quality of fighter from the term alone (similar with pirates, but at least the term 'pirate' is far more specific)

For the record... ninja's would pwn almost everyone except the Samurai... the Samurai would be beaten out by the Jedi (naturally).

Note: Ninja's would also not defeat the Jedi....

Blah! Jedi are pansies!!! Ninja pwn!!
Incidentally, did you know George Lucas based the Jedi on Samurai? He said so on an interview.

I always though Jim Raynor was a jerk.

And I always had a crush on Kerrigan... until the unfortunate Zerg thing happened to her....

The medics replaced her nicely though: "You want another physical?"

Yes, I did know that, DV's helmet was modeled after a Samurai helm, and it s very clear that Luke and DV are using Samurai sword-styles in both of their duels.

Which are far superior to that 'fancy' and unrealistic crap that is sprinkled very liberally throughout the NT.

Blah! Jedi are pansies!!! Ninja pwn!!

Brawl it is.

I know. LOL! I couldn´t think of anything else.:D

Brawl it is.

Also, if you do not have a Wii/Super Smash Bros. Brawl... you need to acquire both... they have ninja-esque figures (maybe even full-blown ninjas that I haven't unlocked?) and ultimately awesome gameplay.

DS, I love the DS. Actually, I love to play on mine to mellow out. And THIS (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OilVxAdN7sk) is my drug on the DS. Gods I love this game so much, it´s lame.

Oh there is. I absolutely adore AC:WW for DS. I also like Cooking Mama 2, because that´s the only way a man can catch me cooking and MySims too. Although it makes me a bit bored, but I like those kinds of games, sometimes.

I think it's a dying breed of games.

MarioParty DS is terrific... I advise you look into it if you have any interest, it was very well done, despite my projected misgivings.

Then again, any game where you can play as Waluigi is a good game. :)

Oh, I played MarioParty, and I thought it was ok. I liked watching Luigi and Toad. Those 2 are my favorite characters of the Mario Brothers saga.

I jsut looked up AC:WW....

"Dud yourself up in dozens of shirts, specs, hats, hats, and more."

There must be a lot of hats?

Lol, hmm, I should look into getting it, how many saved files/cartridge are there? I wouldn't buy it unless my fiancee could play on the same cartridge.

"Waluigi's the winner!"

"WAAH!!!"

LOL! That´s because you buy a lot of clothes on the game, and that includes hats and specs. That aspect´s idiotic, but the rest of the game I like.

BUWANG!!!

I'll have to look into AC:WW.

In the meantime you should buy Rune Factory, it is a fantasy-based Harvest Moon (like) game, it's pretty fun.
