The War of Charlie Plym and Robert Rendine

The War of Charlie Plym and Robert Rendine would be one of the funniest and most defining arcs of the Grace Church Middle School. The war would take place during recess everyday and the ensuing skirmishes brought major impact.

Origins
Since Charlie's introduction to the school, he had always participated in the recess basketball group and usually guarded Robert Rendine. In doing so, and because of Robert's obvious innate competitive nature, also referred to as the winners mentality. Charlie attempted to match this winners mentality, engaging in a series of competitions with Robert. At first, Robert dominated Charlie, easily outpacing him in points, however Charlie then shifted the metric, opting instead to judge the efficacy of a "big man" by the amount of rebounds they got. Robert soon realized that they were much more equal in a battle of rebounds and thus the rivalry grew.

Robert's Ace of Spades
Robert had to engineer a way to beat Charlie consistently mentally. In order to inflict mental harm, Robert first considered what Charlie hated the most, moving forth from that point, Robert constructed the most flawless Psychological attack in Grace Church School history compounded into a single letter, "D". Through the use of this word, Robert was able to constantly ask Charlie if he "wanted his D" or could handle his "tough and hard D" without the social responsibility of an overt sexual remark. Through hiding behind the innuendo of a basketball term, Robert was able to mentally crush Charlie over and over and over again. Soon Robert would adopt the iconic phrase of "D-Day is ___ days away Charlie". Charlie began to fear the outcome of D-Day, for he had no clue what Robert had planned for him

Early 1v1s
Proceeding the event of D-Day, Robert and Charlie had a series of preliminary 1v1s to settle disputes arised in the games. Robert lost the first 1v1 following the random nature of Charlie making 5 three pointers in a row. However, Robert, not to be discouraged, set to work, and through the use of his winner's mentality, he would prevail in the following two 1v1s, although they were close. Following the third 1v1, Robert was ahead 2-1 in the 1v1 series, and anniversary D-Day was a mere few days away. The prospect of being emasculated by Robert loomed large in Charlie's mind.

D-Day
Two days prior to D-Day, Robert promised Charlie a series of 5 1v1's, Charlie accepted and the date was set for D-Day and the following day thereafter. Robert would win all 5 1v1's decisively, even the 3rd and 4th 1v1 where Charlie finally had enough of the innuendos and jokes and was repeatedly punching and slapping Robert in the face closing out on Robert's three point shot. It was around this time that Robert also stopped propping up the semblance of an innuendo, instead opting to go hardcore and ask Charlie if he could "handle my wet slimy hard D". This threw a wrench into Charlie's plans and mentally rocked him, experts say this was the main contributing factor to Charlie's 5 successive losses.

Post D-Day
Only a three more 1v1s would be recorded between Robert and Charlie following D-Day, all of which Robert won decisively, after which Charlie finally admitted Robert was far better at basketball than he could ever hope to be.
