And the deathtoll could rise!

Now the first thought to go through my mind was, "Oh, that's awful!" and the second thought was, "Wow! Six with a knife! Talk about your overachievers!"

Nah. They'll give shamans a totem that gives +50 to defense against sashimi knives, but will balance it out by making it the same class as all defensive totems and then nerf shaman damage against everything with a pulse.

China tops Korea in the stabbing stakes:

http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2008-09/01/content_6987330.htm

1. He killed all his 6 victims. One of the Korean victims leapt to his death, so can't be counted as a stabbing fatality;
2. If you add him to the total (since he was sentenced to death) it's seven dead;
3. He went into a police station and attacked 9 policemen, killing 6 policemen, wounding 3 others before they managed to take him. This in a country where all police carry guns. The cops must have thought he was Terminator from the first movie!

Depends really. If the Chinese police have poor response training, the guy could easily have closed the distance and done some serious stabbing before anyone else had the presence of mind to draw their weapons.

Not really. He could have just utilized his sneak skill and unleashed a whirlwind attack. True he got critted by subdual attacks, but he would have easily taken down all six before going down.

They really need to lower the knife fighter stats against ranged attacks. I mean he took out 6 ranged weapon wielders????

We have a case where there were at least 7 guns involved, and 6 of them were wielded by people who died. Kinda hard to make a case for that when half of the victims were armed.

Don't fuck with the Chinese police. They don't need much encouragement to take their guns or batons out and use them. Plus they all know Kung Fu! (really, they do!)

Of course. Everyone knows that owning a firearm automatically makes you a blood-crazed maniac who must kill three living beings a week or lose control and go on a mass-murder spree. Why, as you were typing that, I bet you killed six people who were guilty of nothing more than passing by.

*passes over the flamethrower*

Been there, stayed for a while. They can easily move to violence once they've psyched up. But quick response to unexpected situations, I haven't seen anything impressive. I suspect training differs somewhat from province to province.

No, that would be the riot police, a different breed from your run of the mill police officer.

Soylent green, ugh. Tasteless stuff that. Pan frying on the other hand, tends to waste the nutrients and saturate it with extra oil. Roasting on the other hand, if done right, seals the flavor in.

As for what I'm talking about, why, nuts of course. The type is up to interpretation, but I do like for them to mature a bit before putting it on the table. :p
