Shred Monkey Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 I subscribe to the theory that Ninja's are not Japanese, Chinese, or even Asian. They're actually everywhere. The ones we know about are technically the ones who are the worst at being Ninjas. 1 Active on Excelsior: Prismatic Monkey - Seismic / Martial Blaster, Shadow Dragon Monkey - Staff / Dark Brute, Murder Robot Monkey - Arachnos Night Widow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're actually everywhere. Well, then you aren't dealing with facts. Ninja are Japanese. So are Yakuza. Assassins are not Japanese. The Triad are not Japanese; the Mafia is not Japanese. You're "theory" is the same as those that would call the Yakuza the Japanese Mafia or the Triad as being the Chinese Mafia. They are mixing terms that are not equivalent. Ninja were not just hired killers either. The Ninja were also an espionage network. They had other skills and traits along with their own specialized tools and weapons that make them distinct from other groups. 2 hours ago, Shred Monkey said: The ones we know about are technically the ones who are the worst at being Ninjas. The ninja were at their height during the feudal period of Japan. There is no good way to judge how formidable they were against hired killers and espionage groups in other countries. To use the word "technically" is an exaggeration if not an intentional falsehood to throw shade on the ninja. 42 minutes ago, Herotu said: Ninjas don't exist. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ninja If someone posts a reply quoting me and I don't reply, they may be on ignore.

Ignore (in the forums) and /ignore (in-game) are tools to improve your gaming experience. Don't feel bad about using them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oubliette_Red Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 I believe they were discarded as a group in-game when it was discovered that they just stalked a pizza delivery guy to the exclusion of all else. Dislike certain sounds? Silence/Modify specific sounds. Looking for modified whole powerset sfx? Check out Michiyo's modder or Solerverse's thread. Got a punny character? You should share it.

Sometimes it is hard to tell when someone is joking without context, facial expressions, or some other method to communicate it is a joke. There was a huge transfer of knowledge along the Silk Road. There was a good deal of martial arts information that originated or passed through China that ended up in Japan. 2 hours ago, srmalloy said: The ninja that can be seen is not the true ninja.

DoctorDitko Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 I feel obligated to point out that pirates, as the opposite of ninjas, have the inverse relationship. One pirate is a party (think Captain Jack). A boatload of pirates is a disaster (think the Black Freighter). (The Pirates of Penzance gets a pass, because Gilbert and Sullivan.) Disclaimer: Not a medical doctor. Do not take medical advice from Doctor Ditko. Also, not a physicist. Do not take advice on consensus reality from Doctor Ditko. But games? He used to pay his bills with games. (He's recovering well, thanks for asking!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. that is the popular meme. One pirate isn't pirate. Pirates have to have other pirates to support them in doing their pirating. The pirates mob relies on fear. Ninjas? Well, the ninja you see is the one that failed to learn how to be a proper ninja. If a bunch of thugs wearing black show themselves, none of them are actually ninja.

smnolimits42 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Lady Grams is my main character, and my global name. She started off as a Tsunade rip off, but now she controls Ninjas as if they were puppets. She is also my medical ninja. So basically she is Ninja/Empathy MM.

Game Master GM Crumpet Posted August 23, 2023 Game Master Share Posted August 23, 2023 Got rid of a lot of posts unrelated to the topic and I don't want this to become a pro/anti farm rant thread. If it starts again I'll lock the thread. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
