Would anyone be interested in a "will it GURPS" description of the Tienanmen Square Massacre?

Because I hear that people in China really love to read about it.

So much so that the traffic to your site from China drops to zero almost instantly from what can only be their servers locking up from all the traffic trying to reach the site.

Nothing censorious there at all.

    I started this comment with my only remembrance of the Tienanmen Square Massacre being what is referred to in that wikipedia article as "the Tank Man."

    And I was going to say that I don't think your "will it GRUPS" covers the motivations behind actions, so I'm not sure how it would work getting into the lead tank driver's head that he refused to drive over a countryman.

    So in order to educate myself on the greater incident, I sort of skimmed parts of the article, and there are lots of things there to "will it GURPS". APC's and molotov cocktails is one that stands out to me.

    But even though I've only dabbled a little bit with GURPS, I always enjoy your writeups, so please do.

      The title of the post is the real clue. Lots of times you can get rid of Chinese not-really-readers by referencing Tienanmen. Just in case my Singapore hits are fake.
