Don't you think a dinky metal snowflake is a cooler weapon than a dirk or a throwing dagger? And it's most likely quite hard to throw a sword and hit the thing you're aiming for.

"Criminal", in the sense that they stole and robbed "innocent" merchant fleets of their valuables, yes. Usually a pirate would do  everything in his or her power to keep casualties to a minimum. Murdering megalomaniacs like Blackbeard were theexception, not the rule.

But here's another fact about the Brotherhood. Pirates sailing under the Skull & Sabers HATED slave merchants. If they came across a slaver (a legitimate economic endeavor in any legitimate port  >:( >:( >:( >:(), they would execute the crew, free the slaves to sail under their own power, and provide the liberated "cargo" with ammunition, weapons, and whatever provisions they had to spare.

PIRATES ARE AWESOME

Makes sense to me.  The reason many pirates chose that lifestyle was because they saw freedom and a chance for monetary gain, both of which were rare in their days.  It would only make sense for them to feel even more strongly about those who completely removed both of those elements from a person's life.

pirates for the available.  as for the non-available, aperture test subjects or runners.

Look,I'm not saying pirates are terrible, it's just that I don't like them, okay?

last time i checked, neither ninjas nor pirates looked like the missing picture icon.  still prefer runners anyway.  they should be an option.
