I'm sure there are more important things that cause division and spur debates among people. But in the geeky world of super heroes, fantasy games and Renaissance fairs no debate has caused more fierce debates than "Which is better? Pirates or Ninjas?" or even worse "Who would win in a fight?"
Of course my little article isn't about the debate itself rather than a wonderful idea. The pirates (yay!) would love nothing more than to see the ninjas (boo!) bested left and right. The same is true for the ninja camp, but to be fair what better way to exploit... utilize this debate than with a few short videos about these two formidable opponents.
The problem I'm running into here at the start is why would they be fighting in the first place? Pirates traditionally would be on the ocean and in the ports causing trouble, having fun and living how they want. Ninjas would be controlled by their clan without much real independence, assassinating enemies of the clan efficiently and training their skills until near death. So what would cause them to fight? If a ninja wanted a pirate dead it would happen without warning to the pirate so the pirate would probably die. If a pirate wanted to steal something from a ninja it would probably be stolen.
That's where I'm at. I'm not sure why they would fight, how would they meet? What would anger them so much to bear a grudge against each other? A ninja being prideful in their efficiency and never failing a mission might be a little upset if a pirate beat him to the punch or messed up his mission...
I kind of like that. If anyone has any ideas just post a comment, I'm sure you have your opinions on how a ninja would outsmart a pirate and vice versa.
