**Grand Mapper** is the first season of the Grand Mapper competition overall. It premiered on January 1st, 2019 via a YouTube livestream from an account owned by Ankhor (now deleted), and it ended with Colonial Mapper winning the season on February 1st, 2019.

## Twists and Advantages

* **Exile:** At certain points in the game, a player would be exiled to their own channel instead of being in their Union. The exile chat would give this player an opportunity to find an advantage.
* **Steal-A-Vote:** Advantage that allows the player using it to steal the vote of another player and use it themselves.
* **Hidden Immunity Idol:** A staple from Survivor, this would nullify all votes cast against the user (or the player of their choice). The last time this idol is able to be used is when there are five players left in the game.
* **Expanded Unions:** At the final 13, Crux and Cygnus swapped to three unions, the third being Sol. Sol had an extra member.
* **Joint Elimination:** The Immunity Challenge would only produce one winner, while the other two unions would attend an elimination together with one player being voted out.
* **Union Swap:** At certain points in the game, the existing unions would be swapped. Players would be randomly switched to a new union using a randomizer bot.
* **First Impressions:** At the beginning of Phase 3, both unions had to vote a player out on the same day.
* **Revival:** The two players voted out of the First Impressions twist would compete in a Revival Competition at the merge. The winner would join the Zodiac union.
* **Double Trouble:** The winner of the Final 6 Immunity Challenge would be immune for two rounds, and would get to cast two votes at the Final 4.
* **Activity-Based Tiebreaker:** If a vote tied, whoever had sent the least amount of messages in their union chat would be eliminated.
* **Self-Votes:** If a player did not vote, they would cast a vote against themselves. This is the only season where this took place, later being replaced by automatic votes determined by activity or challenges.

## Season Summary

### **Phase 1**

The season started out after the live premiere from YouTube from the former *The Mapping Community* YouTube account*.* The premiere as of now has been deleted. It started out with two unions, being Crux and Cygnus.

The first challenge was won by Cygnus, sending Crux to the first elimination. Corsium would be the 1st person voted out in a 4-3-1 vote against BlackBird and Poisonous. After that, Yeast Mapping quit the game. In the second challenge, everyone had to do a flag map of different African countries. Crux lost yet again, facing the second elimination. At the beginning of the elimination, Colonial Mapping, who was in exile, stole a vote from Ares. Hugary Countryball received 5 votes, eliminating him from the game.

### **Phase 2**

After Hugary's elimination, a swap occured, separating the competitors into 3 unions.

In the third challenge, players were tasked to guess how many dots are on a specific image that was sent in the union chats. Crux won it, sending both Cygnus and Sol to a joint elimination. The votes were messy, and there was a tie between BlackBird and Radiant. Because Radiant had sent more messages in Cygnus' union chat over BlackBird in Sol's, BlackBird was eliminated. The fourth challenge won by Cygnus, sending Sol and Crux to elimination. With even more messy votes, Korean Mapping was voted out in a narrow margin broken by her self-vote.

The next competition required unions to pick a player who would be tasked with drawing a countryball of the country Eswatini, then known as Swaziland. Sundalanian won it for Cygnus, sending both Sol and Crux to elimination. Bashkir was voted out with 3 votes.

### **Phase 3**

Once Bashkir was voted out, another swap was announced. Sol was dissolved, and the unions were formed back into Cygnus and Crux. Ankhor announced that the unions would have to vote a player out on the same day because of the First Impressions twist. Unbeknownst to the players, the two ousted by their unions would compete in a Revival Competition later in the season to join the seven players who make the merge. Colonial and Checkmate were voted out.

While the Revival Competition was going on, the next immunity challenge was announced. Cygnus lost, and voted out Poisonous Mapping unanimously.

After that, it was announced Colonial had won, sending Checkmate out once and for all.

### **Phase 4**

The final phase began with the two unions merging into the Zodiac Union.

The first individual immunity challenge was won by Sundalanian, who submitted the best alternate flag for the United Nations. At the elimination, a 4-way tie occurred between Venant Mapping, Sachsen, Orthodox Mapping and Radiant Mapper. Because Orthodox had sent the least messages, he was eliminated.

The second individual challenge was won by Colonial, who submitted a map of an alternate nation in Southeast Asia. Sachsen would be the 10th person voted out and the first member of the jury in a 5-1-1 vote over Sundalanian and Ares.

The challenge after that introduced Double Trouble, in which the winner would be immune for the next two eliminations, and also win a special advantage. Colonial got the victory, making his safety guaranteed until the Final 3. The next elimination saw the first usage of a Hidden Immunity Idol. Sundalanian and Radiant both played idols, cancelling all votes against them, causing Venant's demise with only 2 votes. In the second elimination, there was a tie between Sundalanian and Radiant. Radiant had less messages, and was eliminated.

The fourth individual immunity challenge was won by Colonial yet again. The next elimination sealed Sundalanian's fate, as he was eliminated in a 4-2 vote against Ares.

The fifth and final challenge was to make an alternate future video of South Africa. Colonial, unsurprisingly, won the challenge, winning 5 challenges in a row and guaranteeing himself a spot in the Final 2. He also got to choose who to eliminate, and he picked Cloud Mapping.

At the live finale, Colonial was declared the winner of Grand Mapper, with every jury member voting for him. Ares, with 0 votes, became a runner-up.

## Elimination Order

1. ↑ Colonial won the Revival Challenge against Checkmate on Day 18, allowing him to return to the game at the start of the merged tribe.
