The Battle of Islandia was a monumental battle that took place on Islandia Island between  ZJTrayGamingYT and  GunCat2 with his friends,  SkyJackie and  2b2tisFull. Though the battle took place over a few hours, and was relatively short, it shaped the future of both  ZJTrayGamingYT's and  GunCat2's actions and lives on the server. It was started over a dispute of ownership over Islandia Tower.

This battle's results ended up causing the fallout of the C42's, and the end of  ZJTrayGamingYT's MinecraftOnline YouTube series forever. It also created tensions between  ZJTrayGamingYT and  GunCat2, that even after attempts to iron it out by  GunCat2 were not successful.

This battle's results also created a cycle that would come to define  ZJTrayGamingYT's time on MCO after this point; where he started something new, had it ruined by  GunCat2 purposely hunting him, and leading to  ZJTrayGamingYT going on hiatus for a few months to a year, only to return again. This is what defined the persona that  GunCat2 is known by now, one of being a troll and being an enemy to a majority of people.

Causes of the Battle

Fighting over Claimage

The reason why ZJTrayGamingYT had to clarify the claim percentages.

 ZJTrayGamingYT's conversation about Islandia Tower's claim stakes with  GunCat2.

 SkyJackie refusing to leave the island without a fight, stated by  GunCat2.

On December 28th, 2021, between 11:13, and 11:15 PM,  ZJTrayGamingYT wanted to talk to  GunCat2 about the ownership division of Islandia Tower, as  GiovanniRug had shown  ZJTrayGamingYT a message between him and  GunCat2, about full ownership of Islandia Tower.  ZJTrayGamingYT did not like that  GunCat2 was trying to rule to the tower, even though it was in his waters.  ZJTrayGamingYT tried to clarify the miscommunication that had apparently occurred since the tower of when it was built, "Who the hell even owns this thing?"  ZJTrayGamingYT used an existing percentage system that  GiovanniRug had agreed to when the tower's wiki page was made (October 15th, 2021):

• Forty percent of the claim to the tower goes to  ZJTrayGamingYT himself, as he is the co-leader of it's official owner, the C42's

• Forty percent of the claim to the tower goes to  GiovanniRug, who  ZJTrayGamingYT thought helped build Islandia Tower (in actuality he didn't), and is the other co-leader of it's official owner, the C42's

• Combine both forty percentages, and the C42's all together own eighty percent

• Twenty percent of the claim to the tower goes to  GunCat2, as he mainly built it

 ZJTrayGamingYT tried to clarify this to  GunCat2, which as it would come out soon enough, he had no idea that this was how the tower was owned. He was upset, but  ZJTrayGamingYT told him that he could still live there, but it was under the C42's ownership, and  GunCat2 had to not touch any islands. There was silence after this.

Leadup to the Battle

Not long later,  ZJTrayGamingYT, decides to log onto MinecraftOnline himself, as he knows  GunCat2 was up to something. Sure enough,  ZJTrayGamingYT sees  GunCat2 and somebody else,  SkyJackie, were building a wooden platform nearby Islandia Island, with on top of a pole that was built there,  Otis_Wong's severed head sat.

The two of them looked up, and saw  ZJTrayGamingYT staring at them from his island.  GunCat2 immediately swam away, while  SkyJackie stayed.  ZJTrayGamingYT persistently asked  SkyJackie to leave, and to stop building on his island's waters, but  SkyJackie continuously said that he was staying there, as the build was in water that he said, "Looks natural to me."

 ZJTrayGamingYT persistently told  SkyJackie to go, but he refused. He moved his platform, but still refused to go.  GunCat2 told  ZJTrayGamingYT that  SkyJackie would leave, only if he fought  ZJTrayGamingYT.  ZJTrayGamingYT honestly didn't want to fight, but was goaded into fighting by  GunCat2.

The Battle of Islandia

Phase One

The first phase of the fight between them was short, but in the end,  ZJTrayGamingYT pushed  SkyJackie away from Islandia Island.  ZJTrayGamingYT then told him sternly to "STAY OUT." However, this was not the last time he'd be there.

Not long after,  ZJTrayGamingYT told  GunCat2 to tell his friends to "stay OFF my islands," and, "OFF my waters."  2b2tisFull then arrived with  SkyJackie, and  GunCat2 joining in. The second half of the battle would then begin, even if  ZJTrayGamingYT wanted no part of it.

Phase Two

The second half of the battle didn't go as successfully for  ZJTrayGamingYT as the first half, as he was murdered 14 times, within 22 minutes, by  2b2tisFull,  SkyJackie, and  GunCat2. After the battle, many people commented on how messed up the whole situation was.

People's Reactions

 < TurtleCobra> Well 2b2t
 < TurtleCobra> you should stop killing regardless before i notify an admin
 < TurtleCobra> and have you investigated for a potential bullying case

 < abamacus> it appears that  ZJTrayGamingYT is being bullied by a team of players repeatedly killing him several times in a few minutes....

 < abamacus>  ZJTrayGamingYT - if someone placed blocks on your property, report them please. These assholes need to be punished

 < abamacus> Sorry ZJ; they are terrible. You need to read the wiki rules about bullying and apply them. I can try helping you build better protections if we are online together

 < abamacus> This is the absolute clearest example of bullying I could ask for; if he is not given a warning then there is something wrong with the system.

 < abamacus>  Anna_28, in case you missed it there were 3 players taking turns killing ZJ, at least some of them camped out at his base
 < abamacus> There seems to be no warnings etc being given

 < R3W5>  ZJTrayGamingYT you need some building blocks? like cobblestone?

 < R3W5> is really a mod not gonna do anything about this"

 < IntelStar> ZJ stop returning back to where you will be killed

 < IntelStar> but for now you must retreat 

 < IntelStar>  GunCat2 ur opinion is wrong

The Final Moments

After everything was done happening,  ZJTrayGamingYT was upset that  GunCat2 was telling him to chill out, so he said "[ GunCat2's irl first name] stfu." This pissed off  GunCat2 so much, that he said "ZACK WHAT THE F***," then proceeded to contribute to that aforementioned kill count, as he kept killing  ZJTrayGamingYT over and over. People were upset for this bullying, and repeatedly did /badrep on  GunCat2, as people told him to stop bullying  ZJTrayGamingYT.

Afterwards, everyone involved in the battle, including  ZJTrayGamingYT himself, logged off.

The entire incident spanned from December 28th, 2021, at 11:13 PM, to December 29th, 2021, at 1:00 AM.

End Result

The battle weakened  ZJTrayGamingYT, and all of the C42's stuff was taken and raided. The group later disbanded, citing the Battle of Islandia as the killing blow.

Afterwards,  ZJTrayGamingYT refused to talk to  GunCat2. He didn't talk to him or played MinecraftOnline for four months. This is currently where  ZJTrayGamingYT's MinecraftOnline YouTube series ends, a month before the battle took place, with the exception of his 5th Anniversary on MCO surprise livestream, which is the only post-Battle MCO content he has made.
