Welcome to Circle City. This circular hub of a dueling city has many a feature and location for aspiring Duelists and veterans alike, but perhaps its most notable feature is the local Duel Academy. It's run fairly similar to others; classes are divided up into Slifer Red, Ra Yellow, and Obelisk Blue depending on the duelist's skill. And of course, near the end of every semester, a school-wide tournament is held. All students are welcome to participate.

But that's small news compared to what's been going on for the last six years. See, six years ago marks the beginning of what's being called the Spirit World Collision. What this has caused is an increase in Duel Spirit population in the "real" world, and by effect, more and more duelists have been receiving Spirit Partners. In addition to this, the Spirit World Collision is making Duel Spirits "solid", visible and tangible to people who aren't even partners with the Spirit in question, in essence making them almost a full-blown part of this world. The Duel Spirits in question claim that their own world has been seeing more adverse effects (most notably the complete and utter distortion of time, space, and history), but what's causing it remains unknown, effectively meaning any way of making it stop is also unknown. It's also unknown if it will have any further effects on our world beyond an increase in Duel Spirit population, though there are mixed theories about what could happen next.

For what it's worth, you're a student at Circle City's Duel Academy, and you have a Spirit Partner. And, whether you need the extra credit offered to the winner, you're trying to win a bet, or you signed up just for fun, you're entered in this semester's tournament. This, however, is just the onset of much greater things to come...
This was initially a premise for a Yu-Gi-Oh fanfic, but as the story in question has been moving at a snail's pace at best for the last few months (meaning pretty much since I started writing it), I figured it could be a good idea to set it up as an RP as well. Before people start arguing over who gets Shaddolls or Qliphags though, let me make one thing perfectly clear.

I'm a pretty reasonable and patient GM. However, top-tier decks will be shot down on sight. At best, they'll be walking away with crippling additions to the RP's banlist, so as to keep the game fair to lower-tier decks as well. At worst, I'll tell you to scrap it and try something else. I'll also be allowing custom cards (not for these top-tier decks, though) that players can create to amplify otherwise-useless decks so that they're at least playable, but I'm also limiting these per player since entire decks of custom cards can be a little overwhelming sometimes. More on these and other rules later when I have an actual list of rules up.

For now, assuming my "We're wrecking your meta decks" statement hasn't scared you away, feel free to express interest. At present, I'm looking for a small group of players (no more than six total) to boot the RP up with, but I won't mind expanding the group from time to time if the game demands it.

Do you think a custom banlist should be necessary to balance out meta and not-meta decks?
(because I've got one in the works, but damn is it a bitch to set up)

Given the insane power level of most current decks, most likely.

I'm about to send you a PM with what I've got so far, Roxas. Since you've got more experience with these kinds of things than me, it's nice to get a third opinion (second being somebody I've been discussing this with on Skype since yesterday; he'll be joining us here soon)

Okay then. Prepare for bias and mumblings about kids these days with their exseezies and their archetypes and their "costs"...

The list (so far; it's still pretty early in development) has been sent, and we now have four players. If we don't have a fifth by tomorrow, we'll start with just us.

It's like a drug, Roxie. First you're disgusted by how OP Konami is making its new cards, then you keep losing to OP archetypes, then you try to save your pride by adopting the enemy's weapon, then you find out you kinda sorta have fun summoning Rank 9s in one turn, and before you've even noticed, you've already become one of the mass of wannabe powerplayers. I should know, that's exactly what happened to me.

(BTW, nice to find you here too... you might remember me as one of the reviewers and fans of Sleeping Terror ;) )

I'm still stuck in the part where I refuse to drop my Noble Knights and yell obscenities at all the Burning Abyss players for minusing into plus 20's,

Oh hey, that explains why the name was familiar.

Good god, it's already been so long since I wrote something.

That makes two of us.

Same story here, except I use a Dragonecro deck for the most part.

More like Yu-Gi-Oh Spirit V2, since this is both different from and superior to the previous one in every conceivable way.

Roxas and I are currently discussing Spell/Traps for the banlist; once we get this part settled the RP's banlist will be complete. In the meantime, I guess now would be an ideal time to start up an OOC as well. Keep in mind that my quality standards for characters will be a fair bit higher this time around since, in a small group of five players, quality is everything.
