Real Ninjas? Pfft. xD

The thread of "Who's More Ninja?" is a reoccurring one since even longer than I've been on Basil. People all have their opinions on who's more like the old-days ninjas, and that's alright. Polls tend to swing depending on population size (Pre-4th job when CBs were very popular for bosses, they always won the poll because "Assaulter is so ninja!&quot. But if you ever look into all the facts people put down about real ninjas, they do seem pretty suckish to me. xD

But then, there's the thing called a "Super Ninja." Those are the kind we see in movies, video games, and cartoons that break all the restraints that real ninjas have. And the nice thing is all the Thief jobs on Maple can equally share that role. You can throw Stars at what seems like a gazillion per second. You can blow up half the village with money on the ground. You can dish out the flashiest skills known to man. And you can go around shootin' out little vampire bats. You can still call yourself a Super Ninja. xD

The difference is obvious -

Stage 1: Assassination and Escape
[b]Real Ninja:[/b] You sneak into the drug lord's bedroom in his city compound wearing a disguise (because the black outfits would get you caught instantly). As he wakes up, you use your poisonous blow dart on him (because IRL, throwing stars were always too inaccurate) and then flee for the rooftop. But his best bodyguard comes to his aid and applies an antidote for the poison. Fission Mailed. Along the way you get hit with a few bullets from the mercenaries hired by the drug lord, but you make it to the rooftop and meet up with your friend Joe from the Ninjutsu dojo down the street. He has the smoke bombs.

[b]Super Ninja:[/b] You jump into the drug lord's bedroom through the window. You're wearing your epic ninja outfit and don't give a doodle that it makes you stick out in the middle of the day. You chuck your Triple Throw at the drug lord. He dead. Then his best bodyguard comes in and you just snag him in a Shadow Web and go for the rooftop to meet your sexy Shadower partner. Of course, her outfit is somewhat suggestive. F3

Stage 2: Rooftop Rumble!
[b]Real Ninja:[/b] On the roof, the drug lord has an advanced tank ready to kill you. Your friend Joe unloads his homemade smoke bombs and covers the area in smoke. But the tank has advanced sensor and aim technology and mows down your friend Joe and starts going for you. You have to flee. You make a running jump to the next rooftop and get hit by a few more bullets mid-jump and land rolling around in pain.

[b]Super Ninja:[/b] On the roof, the drug lord has an advanced tank ready to kill you. The sexy Shadower throws down a Smokebomb. Despite the advanced sensor and aim tech on the tank, the bullets just go through the both of you as if ya both were ghosts. You start spamming those Stars and the tank's treads pop out as the tank tried to roll you both over. Then the Shadower chops the tank into pieces with an Assassinate. You both Flash Jump to the next rooftop with ease.

Final Stage: Helicopter!
[b]Real Ninja:[/b]
You're crawling on that rooftop, bloodied by the bullets that hit you on the way here. A military chopper hovers over and riddles your body with bullets. Your other friend Mike from the dojo comes with his tanto short sword and shows off his skills with it. He gets killed on the spot too. Game Over.

[b]Super Ninja:[/b]
You both take a "breather" on the roof you both Flash Jumped onto. A military chopper hovers over and gets ready to fire at you too. But then a chain whizzes out from a nearby rooftop and drags the helicopter down to a friend of yours. He chops the helicopter into bits with the second half of Chains of Hell. You three then fly off to the nearest Krispy Kreme Donuts for breakfast.

So regardless of others' opinions on how much like real ninjas your job is and how biased the polls be against your job, as a Thief job, you can always be a Superninja. No boundaries, and you always get donuts at the end. xD

And how much did I drink last night? You tell me. xD
