XKI Summer Olympics

June saw the first-ever XKI Summer Olympics hosted by Cultural Officer HumanSanity and Cultural Office Assistant Grea Kriopia, which ran as a month-long event spree where 3 Olympic teams competed for points, trading cards, and bragging rights. Events featured spamming contests, an Issues writing contest, a short story contest, Card collection competition, Factbook writing contest, team debates, and more, each awarding a points reward to the winning team. The event had a staggering 96 participants in total and much friendly competition was had!

In the end, Team ALEN led by THX1138 took home the gold with a total of 525 points. Next followed Team Fleeb in second with 396 points and in 3rd place with bronze came Team Anime Daisuki with 339 points. A hearty congratulations to all teams, though, for their strong participation and team spirit that helped kick the summer off strong, and special thanks also go to all of the guest judges who helped with various events.

~ The LinkXKI Cards Co-Op snuck in right at the end of the month to establish a community based regional card farming operation separate from the XKI Cultural Office. More info to come in July once the Co-Op is up and running.
~ June's LinkFeatured Nation was Wille-Harlia! Congrats to him on all of his recent accomplishments and promotions, and we can't wait to see what you do next!
~ As mentioned previously, the XKI Casino got a nice revamp in the month of June with the help of Woonsocket. Now, Islanders can fulfill all their gambling addiction needs with regular lotteries, Roulette, and more to come!
~ The first space launches of the XKI Space Program took place in June with Linkdramatic results for all their parties involved.
~ Some XKIers moseyed over to a Texas Saturday morning BBQ for a nice chat and friendly regional visit.
~ The Summer Olympics brought lots of additional spam to Taco Island, but the chaos only grew as a Linkcriminal manhunt was underway for Shy Guyia. Full support to Mayor Louisistan as he seeks justice!

XKI Game-Side

A regional poll in June by Jabberwocky asked Islanders what soda they thought was sodalicious.

This month’s RMB posts show what's really on Islander's minds during quarantine...

Self-confidence is key!
Suspect everyone...even the pigeons
Weird flex, but ok
Grandmas be like...
Cards go vroom
A nice reminder
Darn, copyright!
It's called fashion

Poet Laureate Competition

June brought around the XKI Poet Laureate Competition where the region's finest poet's faced off on the topic of 'anger', aiming for the best poem on the topic in any form or style. The winner of this competition was Liberdon and their poem, The Storm's Wrath, is featured below:

The Storm’s Wrath

The midnight sea lay still
Until a wind started to blow
And silence fell to a shrill
And once calm waves began to grow

Far above foaming dark
Rested thatched roofs and clay walls
Nestled in straw, a lark
All unaware as the wind calls

Higher! Higher! the waves howl
Leaping, lashing the salty rock
Suddenly the skies growl
Tick, tock, tick says the clock

Crash! A terrible sound
Waves strike and tear, unleashing wrath
Bash! Bang! Roar! the waves bound
Forgetting caution, the waves scathe

Wind grows weary and dies
Waves calm and recede to the sea
Morning dawns on clear skies
But on wreckage and debris

But do not despair, for
The storm has no more spite
Rejoice and leap and soar
And rebuild what was lost last night

For no storm can last long
And clear skies will always return
The trick is staying strong
Until the waves and wrath adjourn

Until next month, your XKI Update Staff is signing off - Grea Kriopia

You nailed it. I strongly urge all WA Nations to vote against that latest ration of waste material up for vote at the WA.

Your feelings on Abortion are not important here. What is important is this resolution gives the WA the power to come into your nation, build up to five abortion clinics and then bill that nation for them and the "free" services obtained at those clinic going forward.

That is an overreach that is a stretch even for the meddling trolls in the WA.

I absolutely concur with this, it should be amended if it’s to be passed, but it should be instantly repealed and replaced. I don’t intend to have the WA dictate how we spend our money here in Apollo 19

Today we are bringing a Valley specialty to you. On the menu are Nopales, the paddles of the prickly pear cactus. Rest assured, we worked all night carefully removing the prickly parts. This classic taco is simply boiled Nopales, diced up and thrown into a big ol' skillet of Texas Grade A, farm-fresh, organic Eggs and scrambled up with onions and tomatoes for a quite colorful and tasty blend. Remember, a whole egg in every taco!® Today's Special Salsa is our new Mango Habanero Salsa for a sweet and spicy kick. A sealed cup of Texas-made Longhorn Cheddar Jack cheese is also included for those so inclined. The taco is hermetically-sealed in a Stay-Warm® pouch that is wrapped in the same ol' aluminum foil we are all so familiar with for our breakfast taco. We are trying to keep it real, peeps. For your beverage accompaniment, a packet of Sanka, Tang and a Lipton Tea bag will be included with every delivery as well as salt and pepper and a napkin. Yes, it is different, but it works and you do not even have to leave your residence. Woo! And, watch out for the drones! Start your day off the right way; munch out and go back to sleep. You know you want to!®

Stay Safe Texas. Stay Well.

***** Texas Chat Reminder *****

The Texas Weekly Chat Session will be Saturday (TODAY) at High Noon Texas Time (CDT) ***Saturday***. And, if you can't be there right at Noon, that is Ok, Texas Chat usually runs 3, 4, 5 hours with some Chats running as high as 7 or 8 hours.

The Texas Chat Site is here: http://texasregion.net/blab70/login.php

Please register with your nation name. This is a great opportunity for nations old and new to Texas to find out what is going on! We chat, we debate, we talk about the weather, we talk about stuff we like, stuff we hate, random stuff and more stuff. But, it is never stuffy. Usually, it is about meeting your fellow Texans and talking about the latest and most interesting stuff in NationStates at the moment. But then again, sometimes NationStates does not even come up. It is wide-open chatting with peeps from around The World both IRL and NS. It is Texans, EuroTexans, WannabeTexans, ex-Texans, and plenty of Friends of Texans. We have it all and all are welcome. Texas Chat, 797 weeks and running! For the math-challenged, that is over 15¾ years! Check it out! Good stuff!

Vincent's Sunday Surprise Beverage Bonanza

Howdy Dudes and Dudettes of Texas!

Today’s Sunday Surprise Beverage is Make –Your – Own - Beverage Day! I’ve got lots of Large Boxes full of drink making ingredients stacked up right here and I’m going to beam them directly into the home of every Texan in Texas. Everyone will receive a Large Box and it’ll materialize on the table closest to you. With all the drink ingredients in your box you can make Honey Blackberry Mint Mocktails, Tropical Raspberry Smoothies, Chocolate Strawberry Smoothies and Oreo Milkshakes. There’s enough ingredients to make 3 glasses of each drink. You can keep the Instructional Guide CD as my gift to you:

Make Your Own Beverage Drink Making Guide:

Honey Blackberry Mint Mocktail
https://www.bowlofdelicious.com/honey-blackberry-mint-mocktails/

Tropical Raspberry Smoothies
https://www.thespruceeats.com/tropical-raspberry-smoothie-4121216

Chocolate Strawberry Smoothies
https://www.thespruceeats.com/chocolate-strawberry-smoothie-recipe-2097150

Oreo Milkshake
https://www.thespruceeats.com/easy-oreo-milkshake-recipe-4038636

When blending drinks in your blender always add your ice at the end so it doesn’t jam up the blender. Also if you’ve got alcohol in your house and you desire an alcoholic drink just mix your own booze into the beverages.

And today I’ve included a Ready-to-eat Simple Summer Snack Board in everyone’s boxes too. Warm weather is the perfect time for grazing and light meals outside. There’s simply nothing better than in-season produce and this platter is full of it: Sweet berries, juicy fruits, crisp vegetables, cheese and assorted grilled meat. As for the cheeses for a summer platter, we should opt for feta and fresh mozzarella cheese instead of heavier cheese like brie.

I hope y’all enjoy today’s Sunday Surprise Snacks and Beverages Texans. Yeehaw! :)

Yes, I'm definitely in for helping with the effort to get this repealed. To be honest, if it passes and stays in place I'm going to add something like this to my Factbook.
