The new 'Behind the Past' is just about complete, and at the very least finally here. Please take note that previous members will not necessarily be automatically accepted here, or even at all, as Behind the Past is now considered to be a literate level para-rpg.
Several changes have been made to Behind the Past, including a total revamp of the rules, and really... it's a brand new forum with the same plot, and affiliated with the old one in only a few ways. We are still under construction, but basically useable and functional.
Once a member (or members, as a case may be), the chosen member will be featured here with their character icon (should they have one), and paragraph or so of why they were chosen. The member will also recieve karma points (locator cards as we call it here).
Dueling and Spin-Off Warnings « Thread Started on Oct 10, 2008, 7:29pm »
This particular thread is meant to explain why we don't allow any cards or characters and anything else related to GX, 5D's, etc etc..., as well as what we intend dueling to be here.
First of all, this is based on Kazuki Takahashi's Yuugiou, meaning only what he created in his original series, Duelist, and Millenium World are applicable here, and even then only events that took place in the anime. All other parts of Yuugiou are not considered canon here as they were not written nor created by Kazuki Takahashi. They are nothing more than spin-offs, and on this particular site they are considered to be little more than fanfiction. If you wish to take part in a Yuugiou rpg relating to GX or any other spin-off, this rpg is unfortunately not for you, and we urge you not to press the staff with complaints or requests regarding the use of cards from these series, as you will only be linked here.
As well, it should be dually noted that this RPG is meant to recreate what Kazuki Takahashi wanted his readers (or viewers) to see when they saw Yuugiou. Dueling was meant to be only a plot furthering device, and was not originally intended to be the main point of Yuugiou. Thanks to the media and the implementation of Yuugiou into American culture, it has become more of a card-trading game than anything else. Here we use dueling in the way the creator wanted, and therefore we do not want to see nor expect to see many duels taking place around the site in role-play mode, and when they do take place we expect them to be for mostly plot purposes and also be just as long as any normal role-play post we expect from our members. This is also why we don't require our members to have the desire to duel, nor even know how.
So if you wish to approach us with questions or complaints in regards to anything mentioned here, our reply will be something along the lines of what this RPG is meant to be, and how the anime/manga was originally intended.
