Hello, I'm TEI Mapping. I make Alternate Futures and Alternate Histories. My youtube channel's name is the same name as my Wikia name.



History of My Reputation of Mapping
It all began in early June, 2016. I had watched a lot of mapping and I thought it would be great if I tried it myself. My first move was to convert my old, forgotten Minecraft channel into a mapping channel. My original three subscribers stayed, so my actual subscriber count is probably 9. Anyway, I did not know how to make a good mapping video, so I started with Google Images and PowerPoint. (Looking back, it makes the video look uninteresting and stupid.) My first mapping video, AFoE #1, was released on the eighth day of that month.



Later on, (in the same month) I began to think that my mapping style was ugly. I began looking for mapping tutorials. I came across a video in which someone used MS Paint. I did not know the rules, so I kept using Google Images for flags and maps. The result was an 'improvement' that actually ended up worse than the previous style. The first video to use it, AFoE #4, was released on June 19th, 2016.



By the end of June, I had realized my mistake. I turned to the Polandball Wiki Chat, which had users that gave me instructions on how to map with quality. I needed Paint.NET, and less use of flags. I followed their instructions, and I downloaded PAINT.net. I began tracing maps, however, I always kept the anti-aliasing on. This made the map look too smooth, colorful and messy when wars went on. This was decided half-way through Episode 6 of my AFoE series, which was released on June 24th, 2016.



After part one of Episode 7, I lost interest in mapping, and a three month-long hiatus began. It wasn't until September that I returned, and I felt that the mapping style needed to change. I followed IonMapping's map tutorial, and what I got was a mapping style I was proud of. Even today I am still proud of it, my only problem is that I used anti-aliasing for the text. And that leads to where I am today, so it's the end for this four paragraph-long story.
