That said, Pirates > Ninja's.
Though they all seem to drown, just as readily...
Apart from the zombies, but where are the robots?
Just try to set up a deathmatch vs 5 elephants and 5 carps (assuming you manage to get em fighting)

Wrong. Elephants are a joke this version, they run away from your dwarves and don't fight back. Elephants are no longer the arch-enemy of dwarves. I imagine if you got them to fight they would just run away from the carp.
Carp on the other hand latch on and drag dwarves to a watery grave with little to no provocation.
carp > elephants, and thus pirates > ninjas, as it should be.
:brain tries to comprehend this idea and fails miserably:
Although technically, yes, they have been deprived of their place as King of the Land and turned into (if I remember the phrase properly) cheese-eating surrender monkeys (at least according to a multitude of other reports). Someone must do an experiment with Unicorns, though; preliminary experience as an elf adventurer indicates that they have become more aggressive in a seeming bid for the now empty Kingship (since they appeared to attack elf peasants and children without any obvious provocation).

Are they Zombie Pirates or Pirate Zombies?

(arguements may be made that all water dwellers are king now, but still)
As for carp vs elephant... the only animal that's killed my dwarves has been giant leopards.
Vikings? :roll:
Note 2: The ninja/pirate discussion has been done a few hundred times, but I really don't think that vikings come even close to either.
Note 3: I <3 U JT. The Lost Vikings was awesome. And they're in WoW too :D

I agree, the vikings could make short work of both of them.
Now, Berserkers... Whooo boy, do you ever not want to mess with one of those. Death-cult, drugged, insanely powerful warrior in bear/wolfskin bearing down on you with no regard for anything other than to cleave you in twain, no matter the cost to himself. Backstab a berserker, and you'll only make him madder! Boo and Minsk will be free!

why is it a ninja pirate then surely the ninjs being first says something
Also, more topical:
Ninja pirate robot Lincoln riding a dinosaur > Everything
Exception: Any John Wilkes Booth, regardless of wimpiness, trumps any Lincoln.

Assuming he still has the message log. I think there's been some computer changing.

THAT IS THE DIVINE FACT OF ARMOK, AND THOSE WHO DISAGREE WILL BE ZAPPED BY MY DIVINE LIGHTING!!!!!!
Then we have the elves...
In DF, me and my elven swordsman companion had to crawl away from meeting one of those - at close range. We survived only because I could grab his bow and punch his head off.
In IVAN, I met a sturdy zombie. As a lasher type person. The battle lasted an entire ingame day. I couln't hurt it much with the whip, but my iron boots of kicking were in place and effective. I got lucky and whipped its sword arm off though, but it still could shield against a lot of my attacks. It kicked me a few times, too. I pinned it to the wall, and kicked it until it lost balance, and smacked headfirst into the wall. The head snapped off. The zombie promptly grabbed the nearest head it found (kobold's), and attached it. The battle raged on until I whipped the shield arm off of it, too, but even then it managed to reattach its head a few times until I finally kicked it to death. If DF zombies were like that, I'd stay away from the ruins, unless I've got a sizeable party coming along.

If you're talking about the kobold then I have to disagree. I think Armok was on to something there.
Also, technically Chuck Norris > everything else mentioned in this thread. The only thing even more powerful is the Dwarven Chuck Norris.

(Of course, as soon as Chuck Norris is mentioned in a thread, it's probably time to let it die.)

There are countless others, as in any european country in fact. Any country that survived european wars for about 1500 years have some badass leaders, kings and generals on its records. American people could think about Lafayette for example.
However, Ingres was a painter, and Lancelot is a novel character. Quoting them in your post does not makes French credibility much good...
