Taco Island Charities Presents: The Second Louisistan Time Capsule The original XKI time capsule It's that time again! Following on incarnations in 2007-8, 2014-5, 2017-8, and 2018-9. Taco Island Charities is proud to present the Louisistan Time Capsule! Any nation with a properly registered and masked forum account can participate. To participate, you must follow these instructions: 1. Post in this thread to participate. Your thread must include: - An item of your choice that you plan to put into the capsule. - A link to one (and only one) NationStates nation that you own, which will be used to determine whether you have CTE'd or not. 2. Send an entry fee of 1,000  to Taco Island Charities. Your entry will not count without an item for the capsule, a link to a NS nation, AND this fee. The capsule closes at 6:00 P.M. Pacific October 18 th. On October 18, 2020, the capsule will be opened. At that time, the following prizes will be awarded: | Percentage of Nations Surviving | Prize Money | | from 90% to 100% | 1,000,000 split among the surviving nations | | from 80% up to 90% | 750,000 split among the surviving nations | | from 70% up to 80% | 500,000 split among the surviving nations | | from 60% up to 70% | 250,000 split among the surviving nations | | above 50%, up to 60% | 100,000 split among the surviving nations
| | 50% or under | sum of entry payments split among the surviving nations
|
Any nation that has not CTE'd and has not been banned from the Islands counts as "surviving," even if they have moved voluntarily from the Islands (or were never in XKI in the first place). No matter what, all surviving nations will receive at least the value of their 1,000 entry fee returned at the capsule's opening. These time capsules were named for Louisistan, following his generous contribution to TIC. Thanks again to him for the support!

The capsule has closed and been buried underground. Check back next October! TIC's crew of trained burrowing gophers employed to dig up the time capsule got distracted by the election results, so the re-opening of capsule is a little delayed. Nonetheless, the gophers finally hit paydirt, and the capsule is ready to be opened again! Congratulations to every participant who made it to today! 88% of the entrants were still around on NS on October 18, 2020, the official date of reopening (though two have since CTE'd but still count!). Echolilia, Aschente, Woonsocket, Gaming User (Marxist Germany), Jabberwocky, @thx1138, Almonaster, The Tasmanian Islands, HumanSanity, Republic of Tikistan, Markanite, and Paffnia, please step forward and reclaim your item from the capsule. Your share of the 750,000 total prize will be wired to you momentarily, as will the shares of the estates of Mingulay Isle and Ammotangandia. Well done all, and look forward to another time capsule coming soon. Thank you again to Louisistan for the donation that supported this endeavor.
