The has been around for a long time, but it wasn't until 2005 when EvilMike, official cartographer of #jj2, scouted out the surrounding land and mapped it. He found a large zombie territory to the west containing many ruins of past channels, and a homosexually-infused territory to the north.

By September, the latest maps showed the zombies rapidly gaining territory, including the ruins of #jazz2. They had also gained a foothold to the east, and the gay zone had begun to enroach upon #jj2 from the north. The situation at this time was grave. Interestingly, an island in the zombie zone had been colonized by the alternate-lifestyled and renamed "party island".

Much changed in the span of one month. Zombies made further progress in their invasion of the land, and the Party Island colonists expanded their colony to the zombie mainland. Interestingly, they did not face the same zombie threat as the main gay zone did. Perhaps the largest event was the massive explosion which obliterated northern #jj2 and caused the sea to flood into the massive crater. It is unknown who planted the bomb and why, but gay terrorists are suspect, along with Trafton.

Zombies have gained several footholds in the eastern mainland, and it is only a matter of time before they capture all the remaining land in the east. In the western colony, expansion is unimpeded by zombie forces, and a new island, dubbed Erection Isle has been claimed. Speculative reasons for the lack of zombie attacks in that region include a possible alliance between the eastern colonists and the zombies. Also of note, a mystery zone has popped up in the north, which is currently a mystery and is thus represented by numerous question marks. A bridge has been constructed over the ground zero crater, allowing easy access to trivia once again.

Volcanic eruptions! The mystery zone expands! The cool zone shrinks to an all time low! Conflict with the zombie menace has escalated to full out war! On the bright side, part of #jj2 was rebuilt from the time of the great explosion.
