Please be advised we are seriously considering the courses of action described above by Taco Island Police Department Captain, Ater Nox. We are reviewing the situation with our mob affiliates and lawyers. A decision may be expected soon...or maybe, just implemented after not informing everyone of our final decision.

In the meantime....

Good Golly, Miss Molly! Nobody won the 100,000 Taco Door Prize again last night, as the unclaimed number "5" was drawn. See, LINK. So we'll try again tonight.

Also, don't forget to get your completed structures in by tonight's deadline!

Anyway, while we're all waiting for this competition to yield us some BIG winners, please be placated enjoy some invigorating entertainment, brought to you at great expense by The XKI Casino. No need to thank us, it's our pleasure.

Hmmmm. Another evening drawing for the 100,000 Taco Door Prize, and yet another futile effort. The "winner" was "0", which no one had...again. See, LINK. We'll give it another go tonight. The odds are 50-50 for a winner to be picked each night....just saying.

Also, the Judging of the Building entries will commence, with the winner be announced tomorrow. This is going to be tough.

Meanwhile, relax, have a cool drink, and listen to a little something to keep your gambling spirits up during this dry period.

I bet Ater Nox is going to win, his build was too good.

HUZZAH! After a lengthy and magnificent battle among the contestants, we finally have a winner of the "100,000 Taco Minecraft Door Prize". The winning number from last night was "1". See, LINK

So, Congratulations Hahiha / USSR ! Your Tacos are on the way.

We'll now salute our winner:





Now it's onto the Building part of our contest.

We have some terrific entries from Barry , Isles de Taylor , Baden-Wuerttemberg , and Kortexia . It will be a very, very difficult decision to make!

In order to fairly determine the winner, the XKI Casino will be calling upon the unquestioned and remarkable evaluative skills of a surprise Judge.

He will make his final determination either later today or tomorrow, in order to provide him adequate time to receive bribes to fairly make such a momentous and life-altering decision for our finalists.

GOOD LUCK! to the "Fab Four" Minecrafters!! 

[Baden-Wuerttemberg]

Congratulations, Hah!

Will we see you on a Baikal sailboat?

[Hahiha / USSR]

Да, Байкал – хорош.
Wait, should there be another 'o' at the end of that?... Ich denke nicht.

Xon Reta: Yowza, Yowza, Yowza! Hello everybody. Xon Reta, here - renown carnival barker and spokesman for both the Minecraft Corporation and XKI Casino.

I’m coming to you today from the Minecraft Master Builders Fair to present the 100,000 Taco Prize to the winner of the building portion of the contest. With me is the actual Judge of the competition, Mortimer G. Hornsnapple III, the famous XKI beachcomber and surfing dude, who's heir to a Multi - Billion dollar Sea Shell & Snail Collection. He’s also an imminent and highly respected past judge for the Islanders Beach Championship and several of the Wysteria Cross Regional Games competitions.. Welcome, Mr. Hornsnapple.

Hornsnapple: Yeah, ok.

Xon Reta: So, Judge Hornsnapple. We had four entries submitted by Barry, Ba-Wu, Isles de Taylor, and Kortexia. Who won? They were all magnificent.

Hornsnapple: Magnificent?

Xon Reta: Yeah. They were all great, right?

Hornsnapple: Barry’s was disqualified.

Xon Reta: What?

Hornsnapple: So was Ba-Wu’s.

Xon Reta: What??

Hornsnapple: Yep.

Xon Reta: Why?

Hornsnapple: Barry’s was an obvious fake, a fraud. It was clearly just a picture of a robotic barmaid, not a Minecraft construct. Pitiful fraud.

Xon Reta: And Ba-Wu’s?

Hornsnapple: Too good.

Xon Reta: What???

Hornsnapple: Oh, her “Tree Swings” were Minecraft constructions alright. But they were of such extreme high quality, in both tone and texture, that she must either have had access to insider Minecraft information or highly advanced German technology that others didn’t. An unfair advantage.

Xon Reta: Not good.

Hornsnapple: Nope.

Xon Reta: Well then. What about Isles de Taylor’s and Kortexia’s?

Hornsnapple: Uh, interesting constructions, both.

Xon Reta: Which won the contest?

Hornsnapple: Couldn’t decide.

Xon Reta: What?

Hornsnapple: They came in dead even on all judging criteria. IDT’s “Airport & Plane” was exceptionally average, and Kortexia’s “Some Solar Panels & Ore Processing Plant on Island” was main-stream mediocre.

Xon Reta: Ouch! You’re a tough Judge….Well. Now what?

Hornsnapple: Roll the dice.

Xon Reta: What?

Hornsnapple: To break the tie, I’m going to roll dice. If a 1, 2, or 3 comes up, Isles de Taylor wins. If it’s a 4, 5, or 6, then Kortexia wins.. The winner will receive 100,000 Tacos, and the loser a 50,000 Taco consolation prize.

Xon Reta: Sounds fair enough, I guess.

Hornsnapple: It is.

Xon Reta: Okay then.. Roll them bones, Judge!

Hornsnapple: What bones?

Xon Reta: The dice. I mean the dice.

Hornsnapple: Be clear, man! There’s Big Tacos riding on this!!

Xon Reta: Sorry if I confused you.

Hornsnapple: …Whoever heard of rolling bones?

Xon Reta: I apologize.

Hornsnapple: Accepted.

Xon Reta: Fine. Get on with it.

Hornsnapple: With what?

Xon Reta: Rolling the dice.

Hornsnapple: Oh. You should be more specific. I’m a judge, not a mind reader, you know.

Xon Reta: Just do it.

Hornsnapple: Okay, no need to get your knickers all in a bunch.

Xon Reta: Knickers??? …Anyway. Again, a roll of 1-3 and Isles de Taylor wins, rolling 4-6 gives the main prize to Kortexia. The loser still pockets a cool 50 Grand.

Hornsnapple: I said that already. Stop breaking my concentration. Here goes….

*ROLLS DICE*

Xon Reta: Zowza! We have ourselves a winner! ….Thanks for your help, Judge. *cough*

Hornsnapple: *scowls, picks up small sea shell, examines it, and walks off*

Congratulations! to Isles de Taylor for winning the 100,000 Taco prize in the building portion of our contest, as well as to Kortexia in pocketing 50,000 Tacos for Runner-Up....Check you donations, guys, your winnings will be on their way shortly.

Thank you, Mayor Aersoldorf , for the idea and the 100,000 Taco donation, along with to everyone who participated.

We hope to see you all for our next contest, which is the brainstorm of Baden-Wuerttemberg , and involves a little 'redecorating' of the chandeliers in the Casino. Heh-heh.

Congrats and thanks again everybody.

[Isles de Taylor]

Thank you, I am honoured!

[Kortexia]

Nice win Isles de Taylor
Your build was definitely better than mine!

[Baden-Wuerttemberg]

Congratulations, Isles de Taylor & Kortexia!

Alright alright Mr Hornsnapple. It’s a fair cop.
