1. If, say, Clogg's ship crashed, he could cling on to a plank and have a chance of getting to shore. If my ship crashes, I'm falling ten thousand feet to my death.
Yay! Your more likely to die!  That doesn't make you any better than anyone else.

2. To crash a water sailing vessel, you need to land a good hit from a cannon on the hull. To crash an airship, all you need to do is shoot the airbag. One heavy blunderbuss shot can take down an entire ship, even if there is an unwritten law of honor against such a dirty trick.
See above.

3. I'm not evil. All the pirates you named are. Yes, Romsca was evil, even though she died good.
Pirates are brigands and thieves, not good people.  You can be one or the other, not both.

4. I could beat any of the pirates you named in a duel. I would just electrecute or shoot them with my pistol.
What if you didn't have them?  Would you still be able to beat them?

5. I have goggles, and I am thus inherently more awesome.
Awesome is subjective and is completely beside the point.

Saying that is like saying:
A firefighter isn't any more brave or valiant than a cashier, just because his job is higher-risk doesn't prove him to be more brave.
I'm not saying that firefighters are necessarily better people, they're just more brave, and that's what I'm getting at here. Bravery.
QuoteSee above.
Likewise ;)

All of the pirates mentioned are as you said, looting and killing innocent creatures. I only attack opressive enemy vessels, I'm more of a freedom fighter. However, as I, in crashing their ships and taking their stuff, am a pirate. Just, I don't loot random people.

QuoteWhat if you didn't have them?  Would you still be able to beat them?
If I had just my sword? Well then, it'd be a realatively even fight, depending on which one you mean. Vilu and Romsca would be difficult, but I think I could beat Clogg.

I know. Just being silly. ;)

I revoted for Clogg.

Hmm....Razzid Wearat not on the list?  He went where he wanted as a pirate and didn't let anything stop him.  He had a sense of power over his crew, and kept that power in check throughout the entire novel.

-Sometime later, the second mate was unexpectedly rescued by the subplot, which had been trailing a bit behind the boat (and the plot). The whole story moved along.

Out of that list, I went with Romsca. However, as far as Redwall Pirates go, I want to say that Plugg Firetail is the one that feels like he stands out the most as a fun character, to my memory.

I forgot like every one of them
Never trust a smiling pirate.  :D

I can do that because I'm awesome.
