why do moderators call themselves ninjas when you know a samurai would melee the duck butter right out of you

Because ninjas are sneaky and can appear out of nowhere... and you never know if they're watching you.

I think I saw one!

Hmmm...nope...nothing.

This isn't going to turn into some listing about "101 reasons Chuck Norris is the greatest," is it? I have a sneaking suspicion that it is.

If your being compared to Chuck Norris, then you should feel pretty good.

Except for the imminent roundhouse kick to the face.

Ok, I'm sorry but a ninja would easily kill a samurai. Anyways, lets not let this turn into a competition

You people have just sent my sides into orbit. A bunch of MLG try hards sucking the dick of some supposed pro half the thread hasn't even heard of. Classic.

I might be mistaken, but I thought ninjas were actually samurai that became assassins. One other question. Duck butter??

Well, if a samurai fails, he must throw himself upon his sword in dishonor. If a ninja fails, uhhh, something happens... It's just not as bad because they don't die.

Ninjas are also cool because they wear all black, and come out of nowhere.

No, the difference is that Ninjas don't fail.

I'd say that "Unleashing Ninjas" sounds better than "Unleashing Moderators".

It was a cold day near the southern base in Blood Gulch. Cortana and I were relaxing over a game of Go Fish, WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE 700 BANSHEES CAME FLYING IN!!! I GRABED MY SPARTAN LASER AND LET HELL REIGN DOWN UPON THEM. I HOPPED IN THE NEAREST WARTHOG AND TOLD CORTANA TO GET IN.

Hahaha. Good point.

You may as well ask, "Why 7?", "Why a monkey?" and the ultimate enigma, "Why 'Bungie'?" - all are unique Bungie traits with no obvious explanation. And really, who wants to be called a moderator when they can have the mysterious and fearful "Forum Ninja" label underneath their name?

Cause Ninjas are cool. Although I must say, Samurai>Ninja. Ninjas were assasins of Samurai. One major difference though. Ninjas focus on stealth. Samurai focus on honor. Stealth is a useful tool in battle, but isn't as honorable as a fair fight. So, if the Samurai fails to see the ninja coming, he will be killed. However, if he does see him coming, the Samurai will pwn.

Depends on the strategic advantages of the situation really....................

But you forget one major factor..........armor...........

The samurai wore full body armor when they went into battle.........this armor was heavy which tended to slow the samurai down, and making his movements difficult..........especially in CQB.....................a samurai operated better in open areas...............This gave the ninja a great advantage....the ability to move fast..........very valuable in a combat situation.............

A ninja on the other hand didn't wear armor, carried smaller lightweight weapons and were very agile..........and could come from anywhere............many samurai met their doom from a ninja hanging from the cieling (using special claws that were tied to the palms of the hands)........and were very quiet..............

Though they did operate mainly on stealth, when discovered a ninja can hold his own in open battle........though it was highly avoided at all cost...............but in all truth, in open battle between the two, it all depends on the strategical situations at that time.............but I would put my money on the ninja........but thats just me.............

Those ninjas got sloppy. You can't take on a secondary character in a movie in the presense of an A-list actor... that's bound to lead to a butt-whomping. Sheesh.

P.S. I thought the "ninja" thing came up when Jason Jones got on about chasing Halo 1 through hospital zones... but that was before I joined up here, so that could be wrong.

Because ninja are sneaky, cool and don't have to worry about pesky things like honor and rules getting in their way...
