The TLincoln Incident

About
The Lincoln Incident, was a brief skirmish in rural South Carolina between rival Families, the Centrals and TLincolns. The battle, taking place on April 25th, 2020, resulted in a victory for the Centrals, creating a lasting peace between the two factions.

Prelude
Before the conflict, the Central Family had recently been under scrutiny for their questionable tactics, namely the use of multiple firearms being used to outgun their opponents. This issue was primarily brought to light by the TLincoln family, who up until the battle has been heavy opposed to the Centrals. Footage of the issue was brought to light here, on August 17th, 2019.

In the following months, a wider divide would grow between the families, until it ultimately comminuted on April 25th, 2020. The Lincolns. along with a band of other compatriots--which the Centrals looked down upon--successfully captured FloridaCentral. Upon notice of this, MissouriCentral, NewJerseyCentral, and AgentDuckles (currently Hawaii Central) set off to find the detachment and FloridaCentral.

The three Centrals, despite heavily outmanned, possessed a great number of firearms, including several flintlock rifles, pistols and melee weapons. This group was commanded by family leader MissouriCentral.

By comparison, the detachment of 19 only possessed one firearm and bayonet per man, with much more equipment to haul around. The detachment was lead by officers GeorgeTLincoln and FredTLincoln.

Battle
Footage of the event

The setting for the battle took place in a rural forest road in South Carolina, surrounded by trees and small hills. Given the position of the detachment, one side had a tall plateau and the other side having a large creek, making an escape harder. The three Centrals positioned themselves along the tall side of the road, giving them a better vantage point and the high ground.

Hidden out of the sight of the TLincolns, Missouri orders that officers must be targeted first, then moving on down to the NCOs and finally the soldiers. Missouri focuses his aim at the front half of the column and New Jersey and AgentDuckles focus to the rear half.

With FredTLincoln and the front of the detachment, Missouri slowly and quietly takes aim, swiftly firing and killing him instantly. With the detachment suddenly in confusion, New Jersey shoots and kills GeorgeTLincoln, at the same time AgentDuckles Kills TheMLGBrandon. At that point, the soldiers begin to fire in the direction of the shooting, Sergeant ZachTLincoln order the men to form two ranks. With each side of the column point opposite directions, he orders to about face and make ready, but is shot in the head at that exact moment by Missouri.

With the detachment now leaderless, the order of the men falters, with none of the men being able to decipher where the shooting is coming from. Distracted, Bar_Oplut is shot by New Jersey. While most of the column reloads after a volley, DomTLincoln is shot by Missouri. Another uncoordinated volley is fired, and New Jersey shoots EncryptedTechnologies. Missouri, then unnoticed, shoots Poodle07. Moving back and forth between the trees, he also kills EltonVanBuren who is sitting in the rear wagon. With New Jersey landing another kill, Missouri distracts the rear, allowing New Jersey to once again land a shot, now on ReeceTLincoln.

Once Reece is killed, Missouri moves in on the front of the column, almost avoiding being shot by JoshTLincoln, who is shoved by FloridaCentral. Missouri successfully stabs WilliamTLincoln and FloydTLincoln. Josh, attempting once again to shoot Missouri, is stalled by FloridaCentral. Once StevenTLincoln is killed by New Jersey, Missouri moves to the rear half unnoticed, knocking over Encrypted, who respawned as StudioContent. When CalvinRancor attempts to fire, Missouri forces his weapon on the Civil War Community, ultimately killing it off. Missouri then kills off Calvin and turns his attention to Studio, killing him again. He focuses on the front end of the column again, where Josh gets ahold of Florida at knifepoint. Adrixkill3 and Ecrypted--respawning for a third time as Mysterio--attempt to bayonet charge Missouri, Adrix is incapacitated, while Mysterio gets his weapon pulled away from him, being knocking over and shot in the head.

With nearly everyone killed around him, JoshTLincoln holds FloridaCentral still at knifepoint, under the assumption he has the advantage. Missouri hesitates, then throws his axe clean into Josh's skull, releasing Florida, and ending the battle.

Aftermath
The TLincolns suffered a 100% casualty rate, with the Centrals walking away receiving only minor injuries.

The event soon lead to the factions unanimous peace between the two in order to prevent a conflict like this from occurring again. While neither of them sharing close ties after, they would offer to share information and conversate occasionally. The issue of the multiple guns was never resolved however, and the edge the Statesmen Militia had would prove disastrous to their adversaries.
