ArcaPlays
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
ArcaPlays is a member of the EarthMC server. He isnt notable for much, as he hasnt really done anything noteworthy. Through hearing about EarthMC through SalC1's Gold Duping video on EarthMC , Arca joined EarthMC on February 26, 2019 at 8:31:11 PM EST. Arca's been a mayor of only three towns: Nyala, Seward, and Pripyat. Nyala was Arca's first town, being founded on July 27, 2020 as a part of Nubia. His second town, Seward, was founded on January 9, 2021 after Arca separated from Nubia and joined Yukon. Arca is currently a citizen of Turkana, Nubia.
History
Early History
Starting out
While ArcaPlays was relaxing one day and browsing YouTube, a video appeared in his recommended section. It was the video where SalC1 duped lots of Gold in EMC. At the time, the queue didn't exist, so joining the server was no problem. After joining, he spawned in Southwest Michigan (Modern-Day Chicago) with plans to start a town in Russia. In the first hour, he built a boat and went on his way to Russia. He built a small wooden house and began to mine in order to get the required amount of gold for a town. Whenever he would log in, he would find his gold chest to be empty. After about a month of constantly losing gold, Arca got tired of it and asked to join a town. He got several invites, and accepted one at random. He accepted an invite from the town of New Lyon, located in Haiti.
Months of Townhopping
Arca joined New Lyon on March 31, 2019 and learned how to teleport to a town for the first time. The town was pretty small-ish in size, being maybe 10-20 chunks large. He built another wooden house on the north side of the town and was proud of being in his first town. This didnt last long however. On April 3, Arca was on a boat off the southern coast of Cuba when the mayor of a town on the island messaged him. After talking to this mayor, Arca found out about some "terrible" things the New Lyon mayor had done. Without considering if these were made up lies, Arca took his stuff and left New Lyon. He was now the newest resident of La Jagua, and eager to set up again. He was given a plot and he placed his stuff down and began to build a new house. It didnt take long for Arca to go inactive again. It wasnt until May 8 when he logged back on again to find that his house and all his items were gone. He got pretty angry and blamed the mayor of La Jagua for what happened and then proceeded to live off the land and was townless for another month. He joined the town of New York in order to be able to teleport wherever he need to go on June 12. He was in this town for a long time, and didnt own a plot. He would play on and off until he went inactive one more time. There was a short time that he joined Arlington for a day before leaving and wanted to join an Arab nation. He accepted the first invite he got, which was from Nubia to join El Obeid.
Arca's Semi-Active Time in Nubia
Arca didn't really do much in his first months in Nubia. He was just a regular insignificant player on the server. He did eventually go inactive again in January 2020. In March he realized that his data was wiped and was trying to figure something out in Nubias discord server. He settled on repeatedly trying to wait out the queue until he joined. He finally did join... after over a month. He had to join a new town, since twomoo was not online at the time and he was trapped in El Obeid. He asked gorky to help, so he logged on to invite Arca to join Mersa. Arca lived in Mersa up until he made his first town. During that time though, Arca also acted as a normal citizen. He made three videos during his time in Mersa about EarthMC, which was also during the time of the Ethiopian Revolt. Technically meaning that Arca was Ethiopian from May 4 to May 19. Even during his time in Mersa, Arca was a very on-and-off player until Late July, when he joined the Nubian VC for the first time. On that voice call, he won 64G from a Gold crate. Following this, Twomoo1119 asked him if he wanted to make a town. There was initial consideration for Arca to make a proxy town for Turkana, as he and the mayor had grown close. Arca decided to settle for an independent town instead. On July 27, 2020, Arca created his first town of Nyala just west of El Daein and East of Koukou.

Nubia Era
Activity in Nubia
Many things happened during Arca's active era in Nubia. Most activity occurred from late July to around Late September.
To Summarize:
- July 25 - Battle of East Kraftier
- July 27 - Nyala founded
- Aug 16 - The Kraftier Raid
- Sep 6 - Nyala/Turkana-Dharug/Kraftier Non-Aggression pact
- Sep 18 to 22 - Arca's attempt to drain the Lake at El Azraq
- Nov 15 - Nyala is completed
Besides these events, there arent many other significant things that happened as Arca's activity began to decline due to school and boredom.
Time away from Nubia
On January 9, 2021, ArcaPlays announced in the Nubia Discord Server that he was going to be leaving Nubia and will be joining Yukon. That day, he founded Seward on the Seward Peninsula in Alaska. On April 16, 2021, Arca made a video of him touring Seward. However, the start of the video had a goodbye message, where he announced he was quitting EarthMC. He had thoughts that he would come back eventually, when time permits. Eventually, he did. On May 12, Arca himself relogged into the server for the first time in almost a month. When Arca logged in, Seward was under new leadership and he was in a new town. He then began a journey by boat to a new location, where he planned to play on EMC casually rather than the stressful job of being a proper mayor. He initially waned to found the city of Hyderabad in central India, but after surveying the area and disliking the terrain he opted to stay in El Obeid until he reached 64G. Eventually after reaching it, he headed out to Ukraine to found Pripyat near its real-life location.
Inactivity Era
Return to Nubia & Fall of Seward
On June 23, 2021, Arca disbanded Pripyat and moved into a home in Turkana. He's been living there since. Arca participated in his latest battle on August 17, 2021, named The Skirmish of Joe Town. On August 19, 2021, Seward collapsed. Most of what Arca had left there was recovered by StarKiller1744 and himself and was placed in his basement museum. Arca travelled to Seward and recovered the Rabbit Monument, a spire built to commemorate his 3 rabbits who died. On the same day, Arca killed Ghostyuu and displayed his armor in aforementioned museum. Two days later, Arca ventured to Seward to recover his last rabbit, Sanosuke, to bring him to Turkana. Unfortunately, while sailing in the Pacific, a boating accident occurred that led to the death of Sanosuke. Arca added Sanosuke to the Rabbit Monument shortly after, and begun a “ritual” where he would place a carrot at the foot of the spire every day he logs in.
Holding Morogoro
Around September 1, 2021 twomoo1119 acquired the town of Morogoro from Tanzania. After much convincing, Arca conceded and agreed to hold the town until someone else could take his place. He held this town for an extended period of time, asking every so often when a new mayor would come. Finally, on October 28 Arca had enough of waiting and tried to find someone. To his luck, VarJuice asked iamkeg if he wanted to hold the town and Keg said yes. The exchange happened and Arca returned to being a regular citizen of Turkana.
Lured Out
Mid-way through November, Arca was wandering around Venezuela inspecting a project he had placed there. While there, he noticed 3 random players (HDKONUK, Chauffeur1234, and Spartan1092) descending from New Granada towards his location. He reacted by teleporting to his res spawn. Shortly after, he received a PM from one of the players, HDKONUK, to come back. He did so after putting all his items in his chests. Meeting them in New Granada again, the players told him that they believed he was a citizen of the area and that they wanted to “show him something”. Arca agreed, already suspecting it was a lure. With an empty inventory and camera rolling, Arca followed the three outside the capital’s claims. It took only 10 seconds of walking for HDKONUK to pull out an enchanted diamond sword and kill Arca. This was nothing but comedic to Arca, though, as he expected this and the people who killed him gained nothing from the murder.
Rabbit Monument Controversy
Later that month, Star messaged Arca through discord stating that something had happened with the Rabbit Monument. One of Stars friends, SirKiyo, somehow gained ownership of the plot in which the Rabbit Monument was situated. On November 26, SirKiyo demolished the original monument and told Star: “i have plans for it”. These plans turned out to be a large stone rabbit statue with a sign that simple said “RIP”. Arca was infuriated with this news. On November 30, Arca regained ownership of the plot and filmed himself destroying it and rebuilding the Rabbit Monument. Although the blocks are no longer the original, its the idea that counts.
Fall of Nyala
On November 24, Caden and Arca began discussing Nyala’s fate. On November 3, Caden gave ownership of Nyala to a new player named Nickstorm1086. Since taking control, Nickstorm hadnt logged on. This led caden to try to convince Nickstorm to log on to save Nyala. After Nickstorm asked how he gives Nyala back to caden, Nickstorm blocked caden on discord. In response to this, Caden asked VarJuice to try to convince Nickstorm. A week later, on December 2, Caden told Arca that Var had been blocked by Nickstorm, meaning that all hope was lost now. Arca calculated the time that Nyala would fall, being December 16 at around 3pm EST. Arca planned to log on and save as much as he could, but was unable to as Nyala fell 9 hours earlier than calculated, at around 5-6 AM. Nyala had already by looted, likely by raiders or by Nickstorm. Arca was able to recover a few things, with one of these things being the concrete flag from Nyala’s ice road station. The flag was propped up in Turkana and serves as a monument to Nyala. Not all hope was lost, however. In early January 2022, Twomoo extended El Obeid’s claims and re-claimed Nyala as a part of El Obeid, saving it from the wilderness.
Books
As of now, Arca has only written one book himself
Fate of the Lion
Fate of the Lion was a book telling of the history of Seward. The book is currently in a chest at Arca's house in Turkana.
