Was wondering, what do people tell other people when they ask what sleuth is? I (as a joke) give the opening paragraph...

"Sleauth is an open ended..."

Then I try my best to explain but usually end up sending the link to them to try it for themselves. Anyone else do the same?

lol, yes us Sleuth players are the outcasts of society :)

I had my girlfriend's brother and a couple of my colleagues play this game, thinking it would affect the as well. after a couple of days they gave up playing. every time they inquire me now about my Sleuth experience, there's just that little something in their eyes that gives me this creepy feeling like I'm caught in some strayjacket :D

I just get the "Hey, can you come over tonight, or do you have to work your second job?"

lol... well good to see I'm not the only one... Although no one fights me when I say "HEY!!! You're turn is when I finish the cases for today, the cases I have stored, or the treasure hunt... or all of the above." LOL

Imagine the horror on peoples faces when you try to explain this:

1. I will fly over across the world. To meet two complete strangers from that game. I will meet up with them at a HoJo slum hotel in Maryland (which we latter dubbed as "the crack house.") Then one of those two complete strangers will then take me in a car to North-Carolina, to stay with her and her family, while her husband likely has guns in various shapes and forms as he is in the army.

2. Three people I have never met before, will stay over at my house for the weekend. I live alone, and they outnumber me.

It's still better then this though:
3. Even though I just spent an extended period away from my home in NZ, in Korea. I will only come home briefly. Because I want to fly over to Sweden, to be with a guy I am in love with, whom I never met before, to live with.

ivewell jstkdn, at least their LIVING their life! dat wouldnt be too bad a situation...when u think about it everything is kinda like dat...take goin to da grocery store for example...

"hey, im going to a public place where bums hang out on the steps askin for money and if i dont give them any they will attack me, and when i get in da store crazy people from all branches of our society will be there roaming a bout and touching and feeling furture things i may someday eat and serve to my children and cat. and then i will go wait in a line for 10 or 20 minutes asking myself the meaning of life while i wait for the old lady ahead of me pay for her items in exact change from her purse,a nd then have a clerk ask me how my day was and start up a conversation with me, while i am thinking he is some kind of prostitute who wants to lure me to his house and get in bed with me, and as i walk to mi parents car i will almost get run over."

Thats my normal day.
