ninja by a long shot.  climbing crap, stealth, stars, everything.  pirates are just bad drunks.

plus you can apply ninja skills to pirating if you're so inclined. Good luck applying pirate skills to ninjaing.

[steve dave]

they lived on opposite ends of the earth you dumbasses.

[Cartierfor3]

Best thing about ninja would be when you're with someone when they turn they're eyes just for a second and then look back, BAM, you're already gone.

or you changed into a pirate outfit real quick and you're pounding grog and they're looking around like a dumbass

[OK_Cat]

ninjas are fast and agile, pirates are slow and clunky.

[Emo EMAW]

I think I would choose pirate just for the travel.

[OK_Cat]

a ninja could sneak onto any form of travel, though.

Pirates have upward mobility within their organization/industry.  Ninjas are always gonna be regular old ninjas.  Sure, you may be able to jumpkick high, but that ninja glass ceiling is always gonna be their to make sure that your jumpkick isn't too high.

[SabiNation]

Dumb female coworker: "Would you rather be a pirate or a ninja?"   

SabiNation: 

that's a fun question, you sound like a jerk

I was  because the obvious answer is ninja.  I thought everyone knew this but apparently not.

Haven't you ever heard of a ninja master?

Nice try, RacistNation. 

Would have to work in reverse because way too much of the brown-poster identification/labeling has already been done.  Too late to change that.  Also, given this, white would be like super racist in this scenario.

that's a great idea.  once each poster is assigned a color, goEMAW will mail them their respective colored belt which they then must wear while bbs'ing on this webpage.  if a poster levels up or down, they must surrender their old belt (in like new condition) and goEMAW will mail them their new poster identification belt.

i'll leave the specifics up to rick daris to operationalize all of this but fantastic idea all around, good job on this one fellas, another day another huge issue solved here on goEMAW.com

Drop the white/black and it's perfect.

A couple of Co workers and I were talking about Willie, and somebody mentioned how it was odd that there had never been a black Willie, then another Co-worker says

"I guess there could be a black Willie they would just have to wear white under armor and white gloves"

In ninja land, dont you move up belts only when you can defeat someone of the higher belt?

So fights (or a BBS equivalent?) at Fatty Fest with belt award ceremony to follow.

*Actually that only applies in the black belt ranks; like to move from 1st Degree black belt to 2nd Degree black belt.

What kind of ninjas do you think we'd attract if reaching black belt status wasn't even an option.

So there can't be a black belt because there are black people in the world? 
How can you have a ninja belt ranking system if nobody is a black belt?

anyway here's some more great examples

white belt: waks (just the worst)
yellow belt: scottwildcat (short fuse is a classic yellow belt trait)
orange belt: jtksu (says "dude" a lot / rambles)
green belt: Nuts Kicked / ellrobersonisinnocent / raquetcat, etc (promising, but maybe hasn't found his/her "voice" yet)
blue belt: wacky (sort of like too fast to live, too young to die type thing going on here, except in this case, it's too moody to be an upper echelon poster and too prolific to be a shitty poster)
purple belt: dlew (his love of KSU could never be questioned, but at times this holds him back from true posting greatness)
red belt: dax, michigancat, etc (the Mariano Rivera of posters in that he only does one thing, but dammit if he isn't the absolute greatest ever at it)
brown belt: daris/clams/lsoc, etc (versatile, quick trigger finger, extremely knowledgeable on a wide range of topics, with a posting style that demands your attention, and a voice that needs no introduction. these are your brown belts)
black belt: steve dave (42,000 rough ridin' posts you guys)
