### Unions

**Grand Mapper: Tidal Typhoon** is the nineteenth season of the Grand Mapper competition overall. It premiered on October 22nd, 2023 from the Grand Mapper Discord server.

This season is widely considered to be a systematic clone of Grand Mapper 3.0, even by Kamepin. Due to that season falling into disarray, the potential for it's twists were not fully recognized. The Ambassador Twist in particular was ported over to this season.

The premiere of the season announced 5 new players early, two newbies (being Jubberwocky and Darth Iron American) and three returnees (Doom, leufG and New Abyssinia)

## Twists and Advantages

* **Idol Board-** During the first two Phases of the game, the players would have access to an Idol Board, on it advantages would be located ranging from Vote Cancelers to Immunity Idols. Each Union would have access to their own Idol Board, and after the swap the new unions get access to the same Idol Boards, forcing some players to work with a new one. During the game, the idol board given to the Inoino union was completely emptied after swap, however Puhiohio did not find all of it's advantages until the Idol Board was made inaccessible in Merge.
* **Exile-** During swap, a random player who wasn't put into either of the two unions, would be exiled. This gives them, their own exile chat where they would wait for the next elimination to join the now missing spot in the losing of the two unions. During the Sixth Immunity Challenge, the player was given their own Exile Challenge, during which they could win an advantage. The power of the advantage depended on their performance, however Italian won a mere Extra Vote due to their poor performance.
* **Ambassador-** During challenges of Phase 2, the players would vote for an Ambassador to be sent to the opposing union's elimination, which would then somehow participate in it.
	+ **Ambassador of Futurum-** During the first challenge, the players voted for the Ambassador of Futurum. In homage to the Futurum union from Grand Mapper 3.0, the Ambassador of Futurum would cast a vote to eliminate a member of the opposing union. Puhiohio won and selected Polnoc Mapping, who eliminated Doom.
	+ **Ambassador of Sigurd-** During the second challenge, the players voted for the Ambassador of Sigurd. In homage to the Sigurd union from Grand Mapper: Northern Lights, the Ambassador of Sigurd would choose one player to be immune. Inoino won and selected Kerby. Kerby selected Italian to be immune.
	+ **Ambassador of Dytikos-** During the third challenge, the players voted for the Ambassador of Sigurd. In homage to the Dytikos union from Grand Mapper; Tides of the Atlantic, the Ambassador of Dytikos would cancel someone's vote from the losing union. Puhiohio won and selected Rah. The player whose vote Rah cancelled was Sicilian.
	+ **Ambassador of Tartarus-** During the fourth challenge, the players voted for the Ambassador of Tartarus. In homage to the returning revenge union, Tartarus, the Ambassador of Tartarus would be vulnerable at the losing player's elimination. Inoino won and selected Kerby. However, Kerby was not eliminated due to playing a hidden immunity idol.
* **Scrambled Votes-** At the Final 8, all votes were scrambled. Each vote for one person was placed onto another. The vote dynamic was as follows:
