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.

*goes back in time to the roaring twenties and prevents and angry hood wearing mob from harrassing the union of a south asian lass with a very WASPy-type gentleman*

hee hee go periodicy.

No, what I find odd, is the weird motives... like, the best friend of the victim utterly despises them? What's up with that?

LMAO Serges, I had a run-in with the ill-named Martin Martin too! I was all "oh snap, I gotta remember this for the weird names thread". Lol, I actually have an aunt whose name is Paula Paul (best argument ever for not taking your husbands name, ladies).

I will personally mail one chocolate-chip cookie (complete with certificate of authenticity) to the first person who has a suspect named John or Mary.

In other weird names news, I had a case with a Ruby, a Pearl, and an Amenthyst as suspects. That's when I quit sleuthing and opened a jewelery store.

I too just ran into the infamous Martin Martin in London while working a case that he turned out to be guilty on. So if anyone runs into him again that means he broke out of jail. So call the cops or something cause he is dangerous.....

I'm Indian and Girish is very odd to me. I'm used to names like Nimish Mehta and Laliben Shah.

I'm sure I had Shen Fai as a suspect- the name of Barber contact in Shanghai - the other night. I had to ask Shen Fai if this is Shen Fai's hair... ok... and not only that but witness Shen Fai had my avatar! How likely is it that I'll find the lover of the victim is not only my long lost twin brother [mind you 'go you old rascal', coz I'm quite ancient as you can see], but that he also shares the name of my mate the Barber. Now that's weird!

*mock offended voice*

my...cookies...stink? *weeps and torches his bakery for the insurance money...sends Horace a slightly charred quarter*

squirrel...that's just a flat out mindwarp! After you finished the case, did you get a phone call from a squeaky little voice telling you you have a week to live?
