Feedbackula - Thief Unveiled!

@fourclawrider @Jennaralize One of the people who produces Hairy Bikers is called Amanda Fidler :-)

@Jennaralize Psshhhh! If Yvette Fielding wasn't so obsessed with visiting castles i'd well look into buying one if I had the money..  I'd absolutely love to renovate one to how it once was with the original features, orrrr just go the complete opposite route and turn it into a paintballing location.. That'd be all kinds of sick.

Getting battered whilst making a last stand with a goth trinket (read that as flailing your arms about whilst shouting abuse down the mic) sounds highly entertaining.  Or you could just use it as a melee weapon and poke people in the eyes... Bad ass mo fo.

@warhawk-geeby @Jennaralize My dad rented in a castle in Scotland (Kraufurdland) until a couple of years ago, when the Laird's son wanted to take over the B&B; business my dad's gf set up there. He lived in Stair House for a bit after that, which also has turrets. Personally, I think such lavish, arrogant, cold and draughty buildings are a waste of space and money, but each to their own! :-)

I sometimes wish that all games were limitless, especially those annoying ones where, for some reason, you can only climb onto or jump over certain objects, but others, like chairs and small walls, are impassable! Magic wands in COD though? Sheeeeeeeet son, that would be DOPE! Cept COD is vaguely based on real life, so the wand would actually be a cheap trinket from a goth store with absolutely no power and you would get completely battered.

@OldKye The origin of the ninja practice is a mystery, but the popular theory is that it spawned from a necessity of farmers who rebelled and couldn't fight with success the same way the warriors did. You won't find theories of origin  in the wiki page its too in depth, you could probably find it in a textbook somewhere. But any who, before ninjas were called ninjas and before it was practiced, it had to be formed from something to serve a purpose.That's the origin, not the early history after it was an established practice with written manuals.

A lot of factors play a role in weaponry, I don't care too much about that.

Ninja's purpose was to mainly "steal away" morale or life. I'm not saying that none of them stole, but that's not the focus of the title. The lords would use them as a tool to for victory. Thieves just steal all by their lone selves or on rare occasion save the town of Nottingham. So I just don't like the comparison.

@VeredusMaximus @OldKye You can even look on the wiki if you trust it. 

%s lol 

There have been countless cases of rebel farmers throughout japans history for many reasons.

Though Ninjas or shinobi which means "to steal away" or to hide were often recruited from farmers since it was a dishonorable position they weren't "rebel farmers" in much the same way the use of farm implements as weapons by Shinobi was for the sake of being able to say they were tools if searched not because they couldn't get swords.

 Further more many were proponents of guns and other weapons that were quick and took little training to use a modern example would be Navy Seals not peasants.

@OldKye I'm talking about just the origins of the ninjas. The major supporting theory is the rebelling farmers.

@VeredusMaximus Actually the use of farming implements as weapons was wider spread as a result of sword hunts carried out when new rules came to power Toyotomi Hideyoshi being one of the most famous.

The "Real" ninjas where special forces but used almost none of the black outfits/weapons seen in modern interpretations.  Ninjas mostly dressed as enemy soldiers(A very dishonorably thing to do much like the later use of guns) and spy'ed or create havoc and sabotage.

In a famous account of ninja activity they infiltrated a garrison marked to be attacked then proceeded to keep the soldiers awake for weeks on end with wasps and snakes put in their quarters at night.  When the time came for the battle the garrison simple surrendered unable to put up a fight.
