Some of those bloody fish are Zombie Pirates at that.

That said, Pirates > Ninja's.
Though they all seem to drown, just as readily...
Apart from the zombies, but where are the robots?

Ninjas > Pirates

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.

So the elephants in this version are French?

....French.. ninjas?

: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?

This is a fox skull helmet. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. It menaces with spikes of fox bone and is encircled with bands of fox leather. This item is haunted by the ghost of Alfador Angrorung the fox.

Uh, is it now clear that the Kingship is owned by the Carp?

(arguements may be made that all water dwellers are king now, but still)

Beware. Not of the E, or of the U, or even of the &, @, and b. Beware the #.<BR>(Translation:) Beware. Not of the elephants, or of the unicorns, or even the demons, carp, and badgers. Beware the husks, for they are relentless, corrupting, and unstoppable. Only the might of hell itself can even keep it in check; and only for a small period of time. If one sees such a being; run away, unless you like the idea of joining their ranks.

Frenchmen, like ninjas, can be badass if they are individual (i.e. not in an army) and are not speaking English (i.e. are speaking French). If you don't believe me watch the newest Die Hard movie. There's two French ninjas who, although they do IIRC eat it in the end (like all villains) are pretty badass right up until then.

As for carp vs elephant... the only animal that's killed my dwarves has been giant leopards.

France has a long history of badassery:  Napoleon, Ingres, D'Artagnan, Lancelot, and the list goes on.  Napoleon and Lancelot were *not* surrender monkeys, and until carp can gore dwarves to death with their tusks before trampling them into beared paste, I think this places ninjas firmly back into their proper position as > than pirates.

Note 1: Napoleon wasn't French. Also, you seen to have forgotten Joan d'Arc.

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
