Schmeathean Wars

The Schmeathean Wars were a series of wars that took place in the First Era. The wars are named after the player who started them, Schmeath. Schmeath was known for his terrorist tactics, war mongering, and overall violent being. His attack that destroyed the S.S. Ghana is what started the first war, and led to a series of others that ended with Schmeath being banned.
== First Schmeathean War ==
The Schmeathean Wars began after the S.S. Ghana was destroyed off the coast of Axim. When the war broke out, Ghanan citizens who did not wish to fight were relocated to London as refugees, while those who remained fought bravely for Axim. The main fighters on the side of Axim were MajorPAIN40 and LantaCrafterS, both wearing leather armor. They faced off against jlink11 and Schmeath, who were both clad in iron armor.
Schmeath and his allies utilized guns and movecraft in warfare for the first time in server history. Being vastly outgunned, Axim's future looked bleak and its independence was in jeopardy. However, MajorPAIN40 managed to capture two enemy carbines and fought off the invaders for several weeks. With their town saved for the time being, the Ghanans put down their weapons and worked to rebuild and restore the town they held so dear.
== Second Schmeathean War ==
After a period of tensions between Axim and Schmeath, the latter launched an attack. The incident that is believed to have triggered the war was the theft of Ghana Airlines Plane 1, which was later proven to have been carried out by Schmeath and his allies. Skirmishes began to break out near downtown Axim, and due to the use of modern weapons, the war became much more destructive than the previous one. Multiple bombings occurred near the Axim border and the new town hall was besieged for days. However, after a long and difficult war, all attacks were eventually called off and Axim was able to remain stable.
=== Destruction of Axim ===
After the war, a group of players planned to attack and destroy Axim due to their fear that Axim would attempt to establish a world dictatorship. This group was led by Axim's former ally, MajorPAIN40. 
One day, during the summer of 2014, the Towny plugin crashed, erasing all town claims, which allowed for greifing. MajorPAIN40 and his coalition force attacked Axim and successfully destroyed it using around 15 stacks of TNT. However, all physical damage was undone due to the unusual circumstances. Despite this, the rift in friendships between nations could not be undone, and the world remained divided for a long time.
== Third Schmeathean War and Banning of Schmeath  ==
After the hostilities between Major and Builder ceased, the common enemy that they had since the beginning bound the two rivals together for a common cause. The last Schmeathean War ended with the destruction of Schmeath's town, the impounding of all of his movecrafts, the seizure of all his items, and Schmeath being banned. This marked the end of the Schmeathean Wars, making it one of the longest wars in all of the server's history. After this, LantaCrafterS left Ghana and created a new town called Abidjan.
