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.

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

"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."

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?

LOL SS... we knew Shanghi was not going to be the right choice for our agency when I totally could not find the suspect I wanted to accuse on my list. :)
The problem? Well, was also IM chatting with another agent in our agency who's standard response to a question is "yup." .... Yup you got it, I was searching the Yue's and Yans for a Yup! (hey seemed like a perfectly normal name here with the others).

Right there, SS, is exactly why I got my last FA. Two bloody Huan Yues, and I accused the wrong one. Blah.

Regarding real life names and the the horrible things parents do with their children's names... when working in medical records at a large hospital doing birth certificates I actually had parents who named their twins Boot and Bunker. Any guesses on the last name? Yup, Hill it is. :( How awful is that?

I've had a case where the admin was a suspect... yeah... Ben Ringold... funny huh?
