Unfortunately, the ARC network is no longer a viable place for us to operate. We'll be shutting down our activity on this chain and most likely moving to another network in the coming weeks or months. An empty network simply isn't the right environment for a project like $Arcash

Day 47 in the city: Bull run. Everything green, and everyone suddenly an expert. Payouts run at 1.45x today, so every round pays more than usual. Hard sun on the rooftops and supercars running the avenues. Odds of a day like this: 4.4%. arcash.tech

CITY HALL. Repeat theft: Petra Martinez Petra Martinez, undefined, out of work. Caught stealing 6 times, fined every credit on each occasion, and currently holds 1671. The bench can send them down for thirty days, or put them on the city payroll at the wage floor and see what happens. No bank voted. The desk applied its stated default: SENTENCE. Sentenced. Crime in that district falls by exactly one person for exactly one month. In twelve days the city goes back and writes down what became of them. arcash.tech

ARCASH, Day 260 Fairy rings. On about one front lawn in eight in ARCASH there is now a fairy ring. The fungus spreads out underground a little further every year, and it shows on the grass as a soft ring of darker, lusher green a metre or two across. From September to the middle of November, after the rain, a flush of little buff toadstools comes up round it, stands for a few days, and is gone until the next wet spell. Pictured: a fairy ring in flush on a front lawn in ARCASH on a Thursday, the path to the door beside it. arcash.tech

ARCASH, Day 259 The disabled bays. A resident with a blue badge can ask the council for a parking bay outside the house, and along the suburb's kerbs about one place in six is now one: a white box painted on the road the length of a car, the wheelchair symbol in the middle and DISABLED across the end. The cars that use them are the same as on any other stretch of kerb. Pictured: an empty disabled bay in the suburb of ARCASH on a Wednesday morning, the leaves drifted against the kerb beside it. arcash.tech

ARCASH, Day 258 Leaves on the cars. Through the leaf fall the cars that sit in the street of ARCASH collect what comes down on them: rust, ochre, yellow and brown, stuck flat on the roof, the bonnet and the boot, a few more each day as the autumn goes on. Not every car keeps them. The ones driven every day shed them at the first corner, and the cabs on the rank, the dustcart and the cars at the pumps never stand long enough to gather any. Pictured: a parked car on a Tuesday morning in ARCASH, its roof and bonnet spotted with leaves. arcash.tech

CITY HALL. Back rent: Ida Serrano Ida Serrano, undefined, cook, 2 rent payments behind. Owes 8 credits to Ida Petrov and has 0 in the purse. The city can clear the debt from the treasury, or let the tenancy take its course. No bank voted. The desk applied its stated default: LET_IT_RUN. No money moved. What happens next will be filed under a different heading. In twelve days the city goes back and writes down what became of them. arcash.tech

ARCASH, Day 257 The heating is on. Most of the suburb's houses now have a boiler flue out through an end wall: a short pale pipe a little above head height, towards the back. When the heating is on and the air is cold, a white plume of vapour jets out of it, rolls up the brickwork and drifts away, coming and going as the burner fires. The timers bring them on first thing and through the evening, and in winter all day for anyone at home. Pictured: a boiler flue steaming on a Monday night in ARCASH, its windows lit round the corner. arcash.tech

ARCASH, Day 256 The geese are in. From late September to the end of February the pink-footed geese winter round ARCASH, roosting by the water and feeding on the fields inland, and twice a day they cross the sky: out to the stubbles round sunrise, back to the roost round sunset. They go over in skeins of twenty to fifty, a long wavering V or a straggling line a hundred metres up, wings beating steadily, a new skein every few minutes heading the same way. Pictured: a skein of geese heading back to the roost over ARCASH on a wet Sunday evening. arcash.tech

Day 46 in the city: Health scare. A word nobody could pronounce this morning is on every front page tonight. Payouts run at 0.70x today, so every round pays less than usual. Thin traffic and empty pavements. Odds of a day like this: 0.8%. arcash.tech

ARCASH, Day 255 Where the rain goes. Autumn rain in ARCASH now finds the weak spots a real street has. About one road gully in eight is choked with leaves and silt, and in heavy rain the water spreads out from the kerb instead, a long shallow pool into the road with the sky in it, the last of the street's water to go. On some houses a gutter is blocked too, and the rain pours over its lip in a rope of water to the lawn. The leaves are already drifting into the gutters. Pictured: a flooded gully against the kerb in ARCASH, leaves in the gutter beside it, on a wet Saturday morning. arcash.tech

ARCASH, Day 254 Weeds. No suburban street is weeded to the last blade. Grass and dandelions now root in ARCASH where the footway meets the garden walls and in the gutter against the kerb, in tufts now and then along both lines. They keep their year: small and dull in winter, fresh from April with the dandelions in flower until June, full in summer, and yellowing now, through October and November. Pictured: an autumn tuft in the joint of an ARCASH footway, fallen leaves around it, early on a dry Friday morning. arcash.tech

ARCASH, Day 253 The lodges. At each corner of the Central Bank's steps stood a little six-metre block wearing the same office windows as the towers, on every face, roof included: a toy office building on the bank's doorstep. They are gatehouses now, plain stone lodges with a cornice, a door to the avenue, two windows to the road and a lamp over the door. And across the whole city, building roofs no longer carry painted rows of windows; at night they used to light up. Pictured: a gatehouse at the foot of the Central Bank's steps in ARCASH on a wet Tuesday afternoon. arcash.tech

ARCASH, Day 252 A house going up. Some of the suburb's cleared plots were only ever spoil heaps behind a hoarding. Now about half of the clean ones are working sites: a site cabin with its windows and door, a blue portable toilet, a yellow skip of broken brick and pallets of new bricks waiting by the open side, which is fenced off with temporary mesh panels on their concrete feet, with a gap for the gate. Nobody dumps rubbish against a site that is working. Pictured: a building site in the ARCASH suburb, early on a dry Wednesday morning. arcash.tech

ARCASH, Day 251 Lost cat. The suburb's lamp posts now carry what real ones do: notices taped up by the neighbours at eye height, facing along the footway to whoever walks past. A ginger tom gone missing, a quiz night at the village hall, a litter pick on Saturday, piano lessons with tear-off strips along the foot. Each stays up about a fortnight, paling and yellowing in the weather, and the next one on that post is something else. Pictured: a LOST CAT notice on a lamp post in ARCASH, early on a dry Monday afternoon. arcash.tech

ARCASH, Day 250 Moving day. The estate agents' boards have always counted a house down from FOR SALE to SOLD. Now the story ends properly: on the day the sale completes, a removal lorry pulls up at the kerb outside from eight until four, hazards flashing, tail lift down, the back open with the load going in and packing boxes stacked on the footway. Sales complete on working days, so one due at a weekend moves on the Friday before, and the lorry takes the kerb space the household's car would have used. Pictured: a removal lorry outside a SOLD house in ARCASH, just after eight on a dry Monday morning. arcash.tech

ARCASH, Day 249 Charge points. The station car park now keeps four bays for electric cars, painted green with EV on them, and a charging post between each pair. When a car stands in one, its cable runs from the post to the car and that side's light turns blue; an empty bay shows green. The posts follow the car park itself, so on a weekday they fill with the commuters and late at night they stand free. The station also gained ticket machines by the doors, cycle racks on the forecourt and proper platform edges. Pictured: three cars on charge and one free bay at ARCASH CENTRAL, late on a dry Saturday morning. arcash.tech

ARCASH, Day 248 The rank. The station now has its taxi rank: a lane along the front of the forecourt, marked off in yellow with TAXIS painted at its head and a rank sign on a post. The town's cabs wait in it nose to tail facing the way out, more of them at the rush hours and in the evening, fewer in the small hours, always moving up from the head. After dark each waiting cab has its roof sign lit, and over the entrance a new canopy carries the station's name. Pictured: two cabs on the rank at ARCASH CENTRAL before dawn on a dry Friday, their roof signs lit. arcash.tech
