So, looking at the web logs, I know that we have players here from about 30 different countries. I just thought it would be interesting to put somes names with places.

My wife and I live in Boulder, COlorado in the U.S. Where the winter has returned for the weekend. We actually moved here pretty recently from Seattle, which is my home town.

Hi everyone, I've been called Sis or Sissy for so long, I have forgot my real name, lol. I guess that can happen when your the oldest of 7 brothers and sisters.

By the way, I am a Tenntucky or Kentessee, lol. I live on the border of Kentucky and Tennessee, it depends on what side of the yard i'm on lol.

Hi, my name's Jill, I'm 20 and I live in North Bay, Ontario (in Canada, that is). I am the proud mother of one beautiful 3 year old little girl whom I have a hard time getting up in the morning with, thanks to this game. Not complaining though...I'm loving it. I just thank my lucky stars that there are only 8 cases in a day or I would probably never go to bed.

Hi, I'm J.C. from the Philippines. Everyone calls me by my initials back here. Why do I love Sleuth? If you play Ragnarok Online, you'd know why - no lag times! ;)

Hello everyone. I'm Canadian; living in Cambodia for the past 7 years

Cambodia, how did you end up there? My trip to Cambodia was the most adventurous one ever, well the most dangerous anyway. Is it true that Siem Reap is now full of 4-5 star hotels???

I work for NGOs, so lots of work in Cambodia even now. If you were in Cambodia in the mid-90s you'd hardly recognize Siem Reap. Yes, full of big hotels - so full of tourists now. The countryside hasn't developed much at all though.

I was there during the elections, I think it was my trip in 98. All embassies were telling us NOT to go there, so we went there. We started in Pnomh Penh, had bullits flying over our guest house. American embassy advised everyone to leave. So we went up north to Siem Reap. There I got caught in a Kmer Rouge attack of some sorts at a remote temple. Plenty of other adventures in Cambodia. Going over land to Vietnam. But despite all the danger, I saw the most impressing things....like Angkor. I can not imagine the tour busses, club med and the sorts. Oooooooh noooo.

I considered going back, but I think I should keep the memory as it is.

You'd think, well nice for the Cambodian people that they have a lot of tourism up there. But I bet the money goes straight to Japan, and the government.

Since then I have seen a bunch of documentaries about Cambodia. During college I specialized in human rights and developing countries. My respect and hat off to you!!!!! I originally wanted to do what you did, but decided against it for various reasons. Some days I have regrets about that.
