So are we all agreed that sawing....

Given that thechineseroom is developing Amnesia 2: The Amnesianing I would love it if they included the Chinese torture/execution method of Ling Chi. The interesting thing about this brutal torture is that it was only abolished in the early 1900s, so there exist several genuine photographs of the procedure being done. You can find them quite easily on the net, so be careful if you want to research the subject and don't wanna see dismantled bodies. They're surprisingly good quality.

The procedure isn't quite as horrendous as it seems at first glance; the condemned man was generally doped up with opium and the executioner stabs the prisoner in the heart soon after the initial stages of the carving, but even still, what a way to go.

If you can get your hands on the book "Death By a Thousand Cuts" by Timothy Brook I recommend you do so. It's pretty much the definitive book on the subject (warning: it contains the aforementioned photographs).
