Yeah, I give my thanks to @OlympicIRL for hosting this game. It was fun despite the penguins
 
I'm sure @amen09 and @tuniscof will make great hosts in 2017 TISC Open. No doubt we will be there.
 
But I think maybe it's high time for @hckosice to become an honorary Tunisian citizen after getting the golden ticket?

oh nooo USA

Bruh, he quit after two penguins.  
 
I got 2 penguins in my first two plays and I'm still standing trying to either avoid or getting a third.

I'm here, just waiting for the game to start

We just don't want OlympicIRL's work to go to waste!

ya, the worst thing is that I´m actually really trying my best here

Ahh shit, I feel terrible for @rybak, what rotten luck revealing three penguins in a row
That is an achievement in itself but not the desired one.
 
Goes to show, the longer you stay in the grid, the more dangerous those penguins become. @dezbee2008 got out in good time before they could get a hold on her.

Canada and Poland playing already 1 and half hour. USA played some 15 seconds if Gridlock will be one day at olympics USA ensured to win another gold

I'm just chilling in Cedar Rapids here waiting for someone to get the other silver ticket

Congrats, that was so fast

WTF!!!! I must be extremely lucky today.  

I'm here.  

tomorrow i'll support USA

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.

Okay so some details on the Competition to find our next TISC Open host:
 
Heat 1: Tuesday, 27th December (18:00 GMT)
Competitors:
Qualification Criteria: One nation will advance to the Final
 
Heat 2: Wednesday, 28th December (18:00 GMT)
Competitors:
Qualification Criteria: Two nations will advance to the Final
 
Heat 3: Thursday, 29th December (18:00 GMT)
Competitors:
Qualification Criteria: Two nations will advance to the Final
 
FINAL: Friday, 30th December (18:00 GMT)
5 Nations compete to win the Golden Ticket and the right to host TISC Open 2017!
 
No nations will be punished for not being present to compete in their heat or final. I have decided it would be unfair to do so since it is short notice. So instead another user from the site will take part on their behalf should any of the competitors be absent at the time.
I haven't decided on a game format yet so I can't specify on how the heats will work yet. Good luck to all 9 bidders @amen09  @bestmen  @DaniSRB  @dcro  @dezbee2008  @intoronto  @mrv86  @rybak  @Wanderer

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 -

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.

Thank you so much @dezbee2008 !! I was the first and last country to receive 12 points in this edition.
