All's well here at The Dispatch. The snails are getting really into pub trivia. They've formed teams and have gotten pretty competitive with it. They want to play every night and they want us to come up with interesting and exciting categories. We're having a hard time coming up with questions that they consider both interesting and exciting, though. So most nights sort of just devolve into certain groups saying that they don't want to play because the content isn't stimulating enough. There is also a lot of infighting within the individual teams too. We're probably going to have to shut it down soon.
