also edit: ah. carebears versus pirates. was 'ninja' taken?
Well, "carebears" are defined as "anyone who does not do PvP (player vs player) combat". There is no catch-all term for people who
do indulge in PvP; the ones called pirates are called that because they act like real world pirates. Like, shooting someone's expensive ship until it's almost exploded, then demanding a huge ransom or blowing it up. Or taking the ransom, blowing it up anyway, and then looting the corpse.
There aren't really any ninjas, unless you count the people flying stealth bomber ships with cloaking devices. THERE COULD BE SIX OF THEM IN HERE RIGHT NOW.
