''The one-sentence "definition" that should be in italics.''

Looting is the activity in games of picking up resources dropped by defeated enemies. [[Ninja Looting]] is taking loot which one is not entitled to, typically because one did not defeat the enemies.

Wikipedia discusses [[Ninja Looting]] as part of its entry for "Looting"<ref name="wikipedia"/>.

=== Examples ===
[[Ninja Looting]] occurs in [[:Category:Roleplaying Games|Roleplaying Games]]. In [[:Category:Tabletop Roleplaying Games|Tabletop Roleplaying Games]] such as [[Dungeons & Dragons]] or [[Paranoia]] this is under the acceptance of game masters. In [[:Category:Massively Multiplayer Online Games|Massively Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Games]], game masters cannot be present at all times loot is divided so either rules or players need to stop this if it is to be stopped. [[World of Warcraft]] have implemented some rules but [[Ninja Looting]] can occur even so<ref name="wow"/>. [[Ninja Looting]] wrecks in [[Eve Online]] is possible but may be dangerous, either due to the ships that shot down the wreck may be nearby or due to corporations that have claims on them can fire on you<ref name="eve"/>. 

==== Anti-Examples ====
As a [[:Category:Massively Multiplayer Online Games|Massively Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game]] that empowers players to create their own societies within the game, it is not too surprising that [[Ultima Online]] have no rules hindering [[Ninja Looting]].

== Using the pattern ==
The primary requirement for [[Ninja Looting]] to be possible in a game is quite naturally that [[Loot]] exists.

[[Loot Rights]] can be implemented to avoid [[Ninja Looting]].
