Local Arcade Sued for Copyright Infringement; Director Still Claims "Plumber Papa" Was Original Idea

Interestingly, this entire story could fit in the title. It's really all there. "Plumber Papa" will be shut down effective immediately, but the arcade director clings to his claim that the franchise bears no resemblance to the more famous (and also, coincidentally, Italian) plumber.

Vigil will be held outside the arcade at Saturday. Bring your own food.

Local Arcade Launches New Groundbreaking Game Franchise

This Monday at 3PM the local arcade will launch their newest game franchise, "Plumber Papa." According to local gamer Grumple Gep (22), who has been part of the team of developers working on the game, Plumber Papa "blends cutting-edge pixel technology with a nostalgic nod to childhood memories of plumbers entering and exiting tubes." It remains to discover, hopefully on Monday, the meaning of this slightly cryptic statement. According to Gep, the developers "wanted to make a game that serves as a representation of Italian plumbers, who make up a significant chunk of the world population. Such Italian plumbers value family, and specifically brotherhood, over most things, and [the developers] really tried to integrate these values into the game."

In connection with the launch, the arcade will hold a Launch Lunch featuring prize giveaways, meet-and-greets, cheese sandwiches, and actors stuffed inside big fuzzy costumes from the Plumber Papa universe.

We look forward to seeing you all Monday at 3PM!

Mourning News

Today we are so sad to break the truly horrible news that Tove Jansson has died. The local library will arrange a commemoration in her honour, which will take place at noon next Friday. It will be held outside the library, right by the bushes. The location will truly be easy to spot, you will not miss it. This is due to the one million candles that will be lit around the bushes, which was an idea proposed by Lester (8).

This whole candle-part of the ceremony is organised by library director and local hero Reddin Bocks (89).
