ummm k. i really hope this is the place to talk about anything related to SLEUTH, like the sign said, cuz this is pretty random.
anyhow -with all due respect to the maker's efforts to maintain the feeling of the time period being reproduced- it strikes me as funny that in the 8 or so weeks that i've been playing this game, i have NEVER encountered ANYONE named either john or mary
and yet on the other hand I am routinely interrogating people named like Girish Yelverton.

hee hee go periodicy.

And Octavia Vrooman happens to be a Dutch name. Probably a descendant from the good old days of Peter Stuyvesant.

Wait till you see the names in shanghai. They are really ridiculus.
You get a chinese first names and european last names.
And they all look alike.

I think she meant the names look alike, not the pictures

eeek ooops no, I didn't mean that Girish is a strange name, I meant that running into a Girish Yelverton in New York circa 1920/30 seemed...unlikelyish:P

I've always wondered that AZN... I know people who say they don't like Shanghai because the names are so difficult.

I love Shanghai. I don't mind the names. I used to criticize Delhi, but that's over. They are all difficult names, but I got used to them. Who can't tell the difference between Bing Qing and Yao-Shih?
