As one Truck has a Performance of at least 8, the dynasty is in a state of Last Call. Given that the dynasty is a state of last Call and there is only one Truck that has a higher Performance than any other Truck, and I am that Truck, I have achieved Victory.

Monday Night
Sales
The Drifter is already waiting at Clucky’s Chicken Hut Of Chicken when it opens. They order the signature Oyster Trap dish straight out, seeming unfazed by it containing neither oysters nor chicken, request a garish bottle of energy drink for the road, and take off urgently into the night. Clucky takes $10 plus a $3 tip, and a $3 drinks sale.
The Delivery Driver walks up to Finest Grill for a Chicken Shawarma Wrap. Staring tiredly at their overstuffed clipboard they nod along to being upsold a Mixed Grill, and order a strong black coffee. Applebane takes $15, plus $3 for the drink.
The Retiree heads to Grill Noir for a Faux Meat Bowl and a mocktail. Eternalservererror takes $12, plus $3 for the drink.
The Deep Sea Diver clunks their heavy bag of gear outside Melody’s Dine and Wine and considers the Beef Salad with Red Wine. After a long conversation about the possibility of a white wine, they trudge away to Grill Noir instead to get a Beef Stroganoff for a dollar less, and they settle for a can of Sprite. Eternalservererror takes $8, plus a $3 tip, plus $3 for the drink.
The Astronaut heads to Pokes’ Rice and Beans to immediately order The Traditional, a dish that they’ve been craving for a while. JonathanDark takes $12.
The Tech Bro queues up at Pokes’ Rice and Beans for some Beans. When they’re served some kind of lamb salad they frown and send it back, stare into space for a while while tapping the side of their glasses, then go next door to the other Pokes’ Rice and Beans stall to get The Traditional for $8 cheaper. JonathanDark takes $12.
The Primatologist queues up at Shish-Kababa for a Falafel Wrap. Trapdoorspyder takes $20.
The Stage Magician stops at The Good Food for a Grilled Cheese, which they fold between a couple of napkins and apparently tuck into a shirt pocket that it shouldn’t be able to fit into. Vovix takes $20.
The Detective queues up at (Probably) Very Nice Food for a Beefing Up, keeping a careful eye on one of the dark trucks parked nearby, and scratching their head. A similar dish is available slightly cheaper elsewhere, but the lighting here keeps their attention. Lawnomos takes $10 and a $3 tip.

Serve Phase begins
The game has now entered the Serve Phase.
Call for Judgment: Back in Five Minutes
Reached quorum 7 votes to 0. Enacted by Kevan.
Adminned at 01 Sep 2025 20:18:00 UTC
Set the Operating Status of Arthexis to Dark.
Add a subrule to “Trading Day” called “Delayed Shutdown Action”:-
If the Current Day is Monday or Tuesday, then on the instruction of the Truck named Arthexis, the Yard may - once - either add a non-Temporary Fitting to that Truck, or increase the Trendiness of an Ingredient by 2. Upon doing so, the Yard should also repeal this rule.
Arthexis has said “Unfortunately, I cannot access the wiki to set myself closed and do not want to submit a menu.” and has declined to (as people usually do) create a new wiki account, citing “personal mythology” reasons.
So let’s keep things moving, for now, by putting them into the state they’d be in after closing and performing a Shutdown Action, and letting them pick one Shutdown outcome.
Proposal: Closing in the Future
Fewer than a quorum not voting AGAINST. Failed 1 vote to 6 by Kevan.
Adminned at 01 Sep 2025 22:20:32 UTC
Set the Status of the creator of this Proposal to Closed in Five Minutes.
Arthexis places a sign on his Truck that reads “Closed In Five Minutes”.
Yet the Truck remains Open.
Slate Update
One truck has set a menu and one truck has closed, since the previous slate reminder.
We’re still waiting for a menu or closure from Arthexis.
