So its possible im only thinking about this because its almost 5 am and i haven't been to bed yet, but some oddities have occurred to me here on sleuth.
There are never bald suspects.
No Bruce Willis in sleuthville. They all have straight or curly hair, even when their avatar may be bald, (what hair did you possibly find?)
No bald people. Male pattern baldness didn't happen in the 1930's, it was something that happened in the great hair crisis in 1947.
Also as serges has pointed out- no suspect is of average weight. They either have an eating disorder or an eating problem. I dont find that as odd as the bald thing though.
So i ask my fellow detectives what oddities have you noticed around sleuth?
Keep in mind im not complaining about the game, I sincerely love this game and i dont like to hear trash talk about it or its admins and mods. So if you've got hate take it elsewhere. I'm just asking if others have any amusing things you've noticed. Please share.

Ben makes his stance on baldness clear in this thread:

Another crazy thing in Sleuth World is the behaviour of Townies asking for favors. They ask for the favor ...you are helping them and they clam actually acting this way against their will to solve the case! Is really a crazy behaviour.

V, it's because they're scared to investigate on their own. They think they're next. By just asking you, they're placing themselves in danger and then get paranoid. And maybe they got a threatening a letter or a hang-up phone call so by the time you come back asking for questions, they don't want to know you for fear of their lives.
After all, what is the population of Sleuthville? Most people in this town are red-shirts... (if a character was just going to appear once just to be killed off on Star Trek, they often wore red.... as far as I've been told.)

Emily... you say that Townies are <<scared to investigate on their own. They think they're next. By just asking you, they're placing themselves in danger and then get paranoid. And maybe they got a threatening a letter or a hang-up phone call so by the time you come back asking for questions, they don't want to know you for fear of their lives>>...but hehehe this is not the case at all as they do accept bribes before they clam....imagine that THEY ACCEPT BRIBES and black money to have their own case solved!
I think that it is totally fair to charge them accordingly

Well, they do a service for so many detectives daily for free. I guess they get mad after a bit which leaves them irrational so they charge the people who are trying to help them. I imagine that they see it as a service charge rather than a bribe :)

Very bizzard is the fact that Steepers supportering detectives are welcome from the Prince to do Villain Hunts. This way it is obvious that the intelligence of both the Prince and the Steepers is not working at all!
A) if the steepers intelligence was working those detectives doing VHs (thus favors for their enemy the Prince) should at least lose reputation with the steepers as they are obviously traitors.
B) if the Prince intelligence was working only tigers followers would be allowed to enter the palace and do favors for the prince
