 * TMC December Raids
 * The Second Mapping Community (or TMC) collapsed on this day due to drama from the other TMC (or third TMC) sections of TMC that split off to form their own community (founded by Anchor Mapping, Colonial Mapping, Korean Mapping and Royal Mapping). Sapphire Mapping Productions - SMP had promoted Valor6791 a couple days prior, a decision that was controversial as it was said to be against the rules. Valor6791 was in contact with the other TMC staff, and 2 days before he had proposed the idea of raiding TMC, taking advantage of his position as a moderator. It was thought that Anchor Mapping at first was against this, but then changed his mind because the rest of the staff wanted to go on with it. Valor6791 promoted staff from the other TMC before deleting a few channels and purged members of the Discord channel. Sapphire Mapping Productions was pressured to delete the TMC discord and Google+ from members of the other TMC.

 * TMC December Raids
 * There was backlash towards the perpetrators of the raid, causing Royal Mapping to offer a deal to the TMC staff. It consisted on moving TMC to the other TMC, but this would only have happened if Anchor had left, because when he came all chances of a deal were gone. At first, they claimed it was "just a joke", but then seeing the response of the people, they apologized, revealing the intentions to cripple their main competitor as well. Resignations took place on both sides. Anchor Mapping later wrote a letter apologizing for what happened.

Discord

 * Dolphin Accords
 * Diarchy of Mapping takes advantage of its position as the largest discord community (since the deletion of the second TMC) on Dec 10, 2018 by merging with other communities: "The Mapping Discord", The (fourth) Mapping Community, and The Mapping Syndicate via Dolphin Accords.

Discord

 * Dolphin Accords
 * Some community reception towards the accords has turned reactionary. Several staff members disagreed with the merger and openly protested in the general chat. The Mapping Syndicate pulled out of the Dolphin Accords and this has led to a freeze in the project.

 * Goldenrebel25 Scandal
 * A strange livestream video was broadcasted live on Goldenrebel25's channel around 02:00 Boston time. This created confusion among Mapperdonia, leading to different theories about the case. TheGreenGuy created a blog post covering the information known about the scandal. Ceplio created a private Discord server for the investigation of the scandal. Later around 14:00 Boston time, Goldenrebel's videos were privatized, including the livestream. Subsequently the channel was deleted.
