How long were the Alpha kids in the game?

Five Months
im kinda new to homestuck and i'm a bit confused, does defeating the black king "stop" the reckoning from happening or is the whole war thing the reckoning itself? and does defeating the black king mean that you can still progress in the sburb game or do you have to scratch and go back?

The Reckoning is initiated when the Black Army defeats the White Army. Once the Reckoning is initiated the players have 24 hours to defeat the Black King before Skaia is destroyed by meteors and they lose. The Black King is sort of like the endgame boss.
Was there a Reckoning in the Alpha kids session? If not, did it have anything to do with it being a void session

There was no Reckoning in the alpha kids’ session because both of their kings were killed by the Courtyard Droll.
Sorry for asking so many questions while you're swamped! How did the Hammer of Zillyhoo end up on the meteor? Is it possible that the canon Bard GT outfit may look different since Gamzee was faketier? What is Homestuck 2.0? Finally, where in comic that they say troll GT wings are only folded, or did I largely misunderstand something? Thank you so much for what you do, and again sorry for asking so much, I honestly did try searching before this.

1. We don’t know how Gamzee got the hammer.
2. No, that’s the canon Bard attire since we can see Cronus wearing the same thing in [S] Ministrife.
3. Post about Homestuck 2.0 here.
4. Calliope mentions wings being folded here.
I'm a little and I've been looking through your blog and I can't really find the answer to this, sorry :(. Did the version of the B1 kids that fought Lord English make it to the new world? Which version was that exactly? And if so, couldn't Vriska have gone with them? Sorry if this is an obvious question I've just been very confused :\

The kids who fought Caliborn in his masterpiece are the same ones who we see in Act 7. Why Vriska didn’t go with them is probably because she may have been destroyed with Paradox Space when she used the house juju on Lord English.
I can't remember if it was mentioned earlier in the comic; did we ever find out what the deal was with Jake/Grandma's last name being English? Did it turn out to have some relevance to Lord English or was it just a dumb coincidence?? I checked Jake's wiki page but I didn't find anything. Oh, and I also want to thank you for keeping this blog up for so long! It helped me so much while I was reading.

People seem to be sad that Rose didn't "play the rain". What is that supposed to mean?

It was her personal quest as mentioned here by Jaspersprite.
