Scotocanadian

Scotocanadian who was a mapper whose channel existed from November 2018 to June 2019. He is responsible for the *original* uploads of Alternate Future of the World - Season 1. His channel still exists under the name "Arcturus Mapper" but sadly has been closed since June 2019, with all the videos privated.

## History

Scotocanadian had previously watched a lot of mapping series and was interested in the genre, so he started his mapping career in late 2018. At the beginning he was a part of Zealandia Mapping's community, but upon the ending of Protonic Mapping's most beloved series, Alternate History of the World - Fatherland in January 2019, Scotocanadian shifted his interest to Protonic's community.

His first series was only two episodes, and was very poorly designed. It was an AFOTW just like AFOTW -Season 1, only he very likely had no plot ideas and as such abandoned the project upon the first episode, which was the second video in the series, the first one being a prologue. Very little actually happened in this series.

In December 2019, he decided to restart by making a new series, AFOTW - Season 1, based on a flag script RP done in conjunction by him and PeridotSilence, who was behind British Columbian Mapping. This series had three episodes and a descent amount of establishment, but in the end it was abandoned too with a fourth episode in the making. It would later be revived, however.

Scotocanadian was increasingly interested in making a non-canon sequel to Protonic's AHOTW - Fatherland, which was approved by Protonic himself. This got a trailer and two episodes in before horrendous circumstances forced its closure. While this was going on, Scotocanadian renamed his channel to Arcturus Mapper to sound more professional.

In May, an anti-mapping troll called "T-Series Mapping (abbreviated TSM)" joined Protonic's Discord server and began spam pinging a ton of people and hating on a ton of mappers/including Scotocanadian/Arcturus. He was promptly banned by Protonic when he came online, but unfortunately he continuously rejoined with alts. Later that night he tried to force Protonic into banning certain people from his server by threatening him with dislike bots, claiming he would be able to crash Protonic's channel with them.

Protonic refused this after consulting others he trusted, The server had to be closed off from the public, and Protonic warned his subscribers about TSM in the community post. TSM ended up dislike botting some of Protonic and Arcturus's videos, but only with around 10 alts each, which did no damage.

TSM was silent for a while after that, which allowed Protonic and Arcturus to have a break, but in June he returned, more fierce than ever, and bombarded a bunch of huge mapping servers. He had a whole plan for exterminating mapping, including certain days when he'd raid a ton of Discord servers, these days he called "T-Days" because he was an egotist.

On the first T-Day, a member of Mappers Union, which is likely the biggest mapping Discord server, discovered that a *trusted* member and admin of several other servers, Shuriman, was actually TSM. Upon realizing he'd been discovered, Shuriman used his admin powers to mass-ban the members of at least a dozen servers before the higher ups could demote him.

TSM had also figured out how to copyright strike mapping channels, by telling YouTube that the mappers used copyrighted music (this was true, for the most part, but TSM wasn't doing this out of good intentions, he just wanted the mappers gone). So copyright strikes were given to mappers like Korean Mapping, Protonic Mapping, and, as far as he's concerned, Arcturus as well.

Protonic and Korean were forced to close their channels TEMPORARILY due to the problem. Arcturus had also lost interest in mapping, so he just quit entirely and closed his channel. Korean would later reopen his channel, close it, reopen it again, and close it again. Protonic reoponed his channel once, but closed it again, and had to abandon his current series, Throne of Blood.

So Arcturus/Scotocanadian was off the radar until the summer of 2019, when he remembered about AFOTW - Season 1, and decided to come back to that, just not on his channel because obviously TSM was monitoring that. So he got back in touch with PeridotSilence and they created a joint channel, Alpine Mapping, where the series was not only reuploaded (albeit unlisted for now), but the previously unreleased fourth episode was finally finished and released. While Scotocanadian is no longer out there publicly but continues his uploads under the radar. Hopefully TSM won't be around when Alpine Mapping gets really popular.
