I'm here.

Thanks. I'll support your bid even if no one else does

Welp, knowing my luck, I would end up with 3 penguins or skip two turns before getting the silver ticket, but I'm willing to risk this.

Look, @bestmen, my dude, you're cool and all, but I already got someone like you taking office in January I think I'm good.

I will be online for all 3 days so it wouldn't matter each way (as I have an online job, so definitely I'll be jumping in). Still I'm looking forward to the bidding process.

If you're going that route, then I can tell you that luck and I are strangers xD I was thinking about a knockout round which we have heats like so... Heat 1: Algeria, New Zealand, Tunisia Heat 2: Croatia, Poland, Serbia Heat 3: Canada, Mexico, United States Heat 4: The countries that came in second in their original heats (like a second chance round) Then hold 2 semi finals with the 4 remaining countries. The two winners will face off in the final and whoever has the most votes becomes the host (and all by polling. I recommend strawpoll.me for real time results, thought I was thinking we might make the results hidden for added suspense)

You know the interest in this contest is high when you have several countries (in this case, 9) bidding to host. This will be interesting, but tough.

Are we still in bidding season, because will make a bid too.

Yeah, my big congrats to @Werloc on staging this wonderful contest. It was totally worth waiting for. As for us, it's the second year in a row we have achieved our best placing ever (4th) and the US delegation couldn't be more prouder of Kelly, but damn, we thought we got the podium and I was so focused on beating the Netherlands that I forgot all about Canada, but it was well-fought battle, so no regrets. Once again, we thank the following countries for the 132 points we achieved this contest: 2 - 3 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 10 - 11 - 12 -

Nice!

Once again congrats to That's gonna be a tradition now. You know Ireland is going to win if we give them points, because we only contributed to 2 wins and both for Ireland.

The 12 isn't gonna be much of a difference, but... UNITED STATES MEXICO 12 BULGARIA 11 MOLDOVA 10 PORTUGAL 9 ROMANIA 8 GREECE 7 CROATIA 6 CANADA 5 FRANCE 4 SERBIA 3 IRELAND 2 ALGERIA 1 That's all from us, and we'll be the first to congratulate the 2016 TOISC winner (see scoreboard)

UNITED STATES BULGARIA 11 MOLDOVA 10 PORTUGAL 9 ROMANIA 8 GREECE 7 CROATIA 6 CANADA 5 FRANCE 4 SERBIA 3 IRELAND 2 ALGERIA 1

And at least for the second time in history I gave points to the winner

Welp, forgot all about Canada lol

UNITED STATES Good evening, fellow players. This is the US calling, and for once it is nice to be the last voter. So without trying to jinx anyone's chances (and without further ado, unless we have to do this one by one), here are the votes from the American jury MOLDOVA 10 PORTUGAL 9 ROMANIA 8 GREECE 7 CROATIA 6 CANADA 5 FRANCE 4 SERBIA 3 IRELAND 2 ALGERIA 1

Alright, people. Before I announce the votes, I would like to thank (12) (10) (3) and (11) for the combined 36 points

Yeah...

YES CONSISTENCY!!!! I was waiting for that!!!

If I get 11 or 12 from Finland, then I win the tiebreaker

Ayy, not bad.

I'll be sort-of building up suspense for my presentation. Coming shortly.

We're tied with thanks to the 3 points from

Congrats Ireland (for the third time, like geez, you must be good at this ) @OlympicIRL

That means something will happen to us for the second time in history. Find out in about 40 minutes or so xD
