DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Hello, fan club!
How about that: three awards. Told you all I'm great! We're talking 74
political points, 63 fights equivalent, 24 sills, still only one rating (decise), and
almost a 0.500 record. I have to thank Fungari for that attack skill she taught me.
Just for that, I taught her five skills which gave her three ratings. Some people
are just not satisfied as easily as me. If Assur...is right, I'll be getting the
call in five or six more fights. That should free up some of the awards I've been
getting. And, Zin, there's no way I plan to challenge Life's record at graduation.
Too bad Life couldn't have picked up another nine losses at least. For now, bye,
all.

SPY REPORT
I can't believe the violence in OSKSI! I still haven't told Mom I'm writing
Spyreports. She'd have a cow! Well, here we go... MVP award for YROHK? THE
BALROGS' proud of him after beating GRAPH and getting 23 points. Talk about yer
major upsets! GRAPH's match with YROHK cost it a loss of 7 points! Oh, wow, like
the Duelmaster must be the most popular guy in all OSKSI. He got the most
challenges. (But what about proposals?) QUICKSAND thinks his 13-17-2 and studly
character is good enough to face up to the Duelmaster. Any bets? This Duelmaster is
like something else! OINGO BOINGO stopped QUICKSAND dead in his tracks! Is the
Duelmaster really being a real snob to his teammates? Don't ask me!
AAARRGH!!! I HATE SPYREPORTING!!! Sorry. I just had to say it. ASTRAL KIN
was OSKSI's most avoided team. Is there some award for that? Is there some deep
dark secret why THE BALROGS' been avoiding ASTRAL KIN so much? Or is it just that
they're too scared? FUNGARI is being unfair. She's challenged down 16 against GO
FISH. I don't know why they let this stuff go on. (I'd better shut up) I was sorry
to see such an unfair "fight" in OSKSI. FUNGARI got 7 points after beating GO FISH,
16 points below her. For sure, I was holding my breath when I found out STEVE SAX
challenged MX. After all, haven't AMERICAN APPRAISAL and THE NUKES had a long
standing duel in OSKSI? It wasn't a spectacular fight, or anything, but MX wants me
to write about it since he overcame STEVE SAX. Satisfied?
What does a fighter fight for? I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone
gets killed. Not after four more fights. It was kind of sad, seeing old AURORA
stumbling around the arena, before MARY RETZLAFF finished her off. Oh well! Hey you
guys, don't you think your families would like to hear from you? Write! (Or have
someone write for you.)
I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid. Who would've guessed I'd be
a famous Spyreporter? I know how much you like reading this stuff, but I really
should stop. I had a fun time, see you later-- Debby Tonte
