Blog:CosmicMapping/The Promise Campaign

The Promise Campaign, is a social media campaign within the mapping community created by CosmicMapping.

Purpose Of The Campaign
The Purpose of the campaign is to raise awareness of many mappers quitting mapping and moving on to only making video mapping videos, and to get as many mappers as possible to promise to not quit mapping.

Start Of The Campaign
On December 9th 2015, IonMapping Announced that we was quitting mapping and starting a new channel, witch would be focused on video mapping content. Ion'sVideo

Reception of the video was mostly shock and sadness by the community, and alot of mappers began to see a pattern where many high ranked mappers were quitting mapping and moving to video mapping based content.

CosmicMapping saw this, and on december 10th 2015 uploaded a video titled "I Promse" Where he addressed the recent patterns and promised he would continue to map, and encouraged other mappers to spread the video and to make their own videos "Making the Promise"

Spread Of The Campaign
A Little bit after CosmicMapping's video, the video made its way to dylan's world, who decided to side with cosmicmapping and upload his own video about the campaign

Because of dylan's large fan base, the video quickly gained traction and many other mappers began making videos about the campaign.

Mappers including Yoshifan, Italitan mapper chris, and many others joined and helped spread awareness.

End Of The Campaign
Later into the campaign, Nick HD Mapping himself commented on CosmicMapping's original video.

He Said "Just a sidenote: No i did not switch to videomapping. Although i really like Videomapping, i really think we have enough videomappers out there, i mean we got EmperorTigerstar, Suomi and Galacting Penguin. I Dont think that MOAP and Ion are necessary. Anyways guys i'm sorry for not uploading many video's recently. I Just have to make a little break from mapping stuff. Thanks for staying with me the whole time and for your support, i really appreciate it. And no AFOE is not ded, the problem is that im remaking the map. Thats why it takes so long. And im also having trouble finding motivation to continue. I Really love mapping, and i personally think that switching to videomapping is not needed. I Promise".

With Nick making the promise, CosmicMapping considers the goal reached, and plans to make a video addressing and thanking everyone who supported the campaign.
