Grand Mapper: Revenge & Redemption

**Grand Mapper: Revenge & Redemption** is the second season of the Grand Mapper competition overall. It premiered on February 9th, 2019 from the Grand Mapper Discord server and it ended with Skeletal Mapper winning the season on March 30th, 2019

## Revenge and Redemption

The theme for this season of Grand Mapper is "Revenge and Redemption". It will play a large part in how this competition works.

* **Revenge:** Revenge is a big twist on the game. Once a player is voted out from the game, they will become a member of the "Revenge Union" and will have to sit out the game until the opportunity to re-enter the game through a special Revenge Challenge sometime late in the game. People in the Revenge Union will have nothing to do except simply wait for this opportunity to re-enter the game. Anyone from the Revenge Union can quit at any time without penalty.
* **Redemption:** Redemption is that each Union will have 2 players from the first season of Grand Mapper that want to play and win. These players are seeking redemption and have the advantage of their experience in the game from their first season.

## Gameplay Updates

There have been many updates to the gameplay since the previous season.

* **New Tiebreaker Policy:** If a vote is tied, the next day will be a dedicated revote, where you can only vote for the players that are in the tie. This tiebreaker will push the schedule ahead by a day. If we have a second tiebreaker on the revote, the most inactive person in the Union will be eliminated. The player with the most votes in this revote will be eliminated, and the player/s that are in the revote who aren't eliminated will be given a secret advantage to prevent future tiebreakers.

* **New Voting Policy:** People who fail to vote during the elimination will automatically vote for the least active player since the last elimination, that isn't themselves. This will be the same case with the revote, except it will be only from the players that are in the revote.
* **New Quitting Policy:** If a player is wanting to quit, it is better for them to tell their Union to vote them out, as it will not hurt the game by shifting the schedule in any way. If they announce the quit by themselves and/or leave the server without telling the host, they will be banned permanently from the server. Players who take the initiative to tell the host and let them announce it will not be banned. Quitters have no chance to return to the game in future seasons.

* **Country Selection:** During every elimination day, you will be able to select a country from the UN's 193 certified countries. The next day, each player will be able to visit a chat based on that country of choice. The majority of these chats will be empty and have nothing of value in them. A select few countries that are visited will have secret advantages that the players can claim and use later on in the game. Some countries though, may have disadvantages that will hold back a player in the game.

## Twists and Advantages

Along with the Revenge and Redemption theme, there will be many other twists that add to this competition.

* **Revenge & Redemption**
* **No Vote:** Through country selection, players would be able to lose their vote by finding a disadvantage in their selected country.
* **Extra Vote:** This allows a player to cast two votes instead of one.
* **Hidden Immunity Idol:** Before the votes are read, a player with a hidden immunity idol is given the ability to play it. The idol allows to cancel all votes cast against the player and can only be used if there are five or more players left in the game.
* **Union Swap:** The two original Unions would swap players between the Unions.
* **Double Elimination:** Both Unions would go straight to elimination, and the only way to be immune would be by winning an Individual Immunity challenge between all the players.
* **Elimination Skipper:** Through country selection, players would be able to avoid elimination by finding an advantage in their selected country.
* **Vote Canceler:** This allows a player to cancel the vote of another player during an elimination.
* **Vote Steal:** This allows a player to steal a vote from another player and use it themselves.
* **Tiebreaker Vote:** If you were caught in a previous tie vote and end up in another tie vote, you would be given a tiebreaker vote as an advantage to prevent the tie.
* **Union Merge:** At some point in the game, the unions will merge and the game will become individual.
* **Vote Rebound:** Through country selection, players would be able to lose their vote and have it cast against themselves by finding a disadvantage in their selected country.
* **Final 4 Special Challenge:** After the Final 4 challenge, the winner would select another person to be with them at the Final 3. The remaining players would go head to head in a live challenge, where one would get a spot in the Final 3 and the other would be the Final Jury Member.
* **Jury Members:** Players who made it to the second revenge challenge and competed would become a Jury Member, and will get to vote on the winner of the game from the Final 3.

## People's Choice

Before the game began, there was a Public Vote for two of the returning players in the game. The new contestants would basically be able to vote in contestants that they would later play with. The Candidates were:

* Bashkir
* BlackBird
* [[Canaan (Venant Mapping)
* Checkmate
* Corsium
* Orthodox Mapping
* Sundalanian

Sundalanian and Checkmate would go on to win the People's Choice polling, with Canaan and Corsium being hand selected to return into the game also.
