The Story Thus Far

While there is no real plot behind the RP as a whole, ZOMGCRACK!YGO has been home to a series of subplots and miniplots - some of which encompassed the RP in its entirety, and some which only involved the more active people in the RP, but were enough to impact them severely. All of the past plots are detailed here.

06/07/2005 - 06/18/2005; In the Beginning...: In the beginning, there was sex. And more sex. And for a change of pace, there was some more sex with a side order of crack. Basically, everything that happened up until the beginning of the God Plot was crack, sex, and the beginnings of subplots between characters.

06/18/2005 - 07/06/2005; The God Plot: Started off with IC!Ryou's release from the hospital. He returned to his apartment, only to find that the place had been thoroughly destroyed. Later that evening, he met OOC!Malik, and things started off well enough - they caught up on things that happened since Battle City and whatnot. But then, they ended up being stalked and nearly killed by some weirdoes. Eventually, characters like the two Yami no Yuugis and OOC!Seto got dragged in, and it ended up being this whole huge angsty ordeal with people getting crucified and kidnapped and stuff XD Oh yeah, and it turns out that the stalkers were really the evil gods Horus and Seth. And there was lots of freaky god stuff going on the whole time. It was just mass chaos @@; A few people got really mad at this plot for being so angsty, though. ^^; Um... we're sorry? <3;;

07/24/2005 - 07/31/2005; The Road Trip: After some happenings with IC!Thief King, IC!Yami no Bakura somehow ends up in... jail in Texas. XD; So it's up to the gang to go rescue him, woot. :X Lots of mayhem occurs that involved flying to the US, making several stops, and just... general insanity. XD And a few relationships are established during this plot, too. :3

09/19/2005 - 09/30/2005; Cruise: Much fun is had by all as they fly to Florida and hop on a nice cruise ship. :D Various activities go on, as well as some unexpected discoveries, and a few... ah, negotiations. Great fun, it was.

10/16/2005 - 11/11/2005; Shadow Mystery Plot: Lasting just a few days shy of a month, this was the longest running plot to date. While everyone still continued on with their own mini-plots, this one threw a major kink into the workings of some of them. Basically, a criminal dressed in black has been going around stealing things from people. He only struck at night, and also left a mark on his victims, though some got more beat up than others. Shadow was also infamous for giving Disney-related names to his victims. A total of 17 people (out of the ZOMGCRACK!YGO cast) were struck by Shadow before he was caught by the police, and revealed to be OOC!Mokuba.

01/08/2006 - 01/15/2006; The Great Body Switch: Inspired by a... ah, situation involving IC!Ryou and OOC!Malik, this plot made for much crack among the masses. X3 Due to the force known as the "plot hole", and probably by some reaction with the Items, lots of people switched bodies with each other. Some people sabotaged their new bodies, some ruined other people's lives, and some were just... nice to each other, but all in all, this was a really fun plot that brought a whole new level of crack to the game.

04/07/2006 - 04/09/2006; Dark Clouds: While this miniplot was extremely short, it was nonetheless fun. Strange dark clouds were sighted over Domino, but these were no ordinary clouds - while they covered the city, they caused many of its residents to act... extremely strange, even if the characters were OOC to begin with. @_@

05/08/2006 - 06/25/2006; The Astounding Race: Domino plays host to its very first reality show! Reminiscent of the Road Trip plot, The Astounding Race will feature teams of two going around the world on a scavenger hunt. In each country, they must gather one specific item by solving a riddle, and continue on their way to the next country, doing the same. They will travel all over the world, and then return to Domino. Whichever team gets the most answers right, they win an astounding prize! Winners of the race were OOC!Seth and OOC!Shaadi, followed by OOC!Malik and IC!Ryou, and IC!Kisara and IC!Haga.

07/01/2006 - 07/04/2006; Chibi For a Weekend: Due to a mishap with the Items (probably the Tauk, like every other Weird Thing that happens in the city is caused by), several people were turned into younger versions of themselves. The majority of the characters turned into wee chibis, some reverted to preteens, and some went unchanged. Chibi fun for all~! 8D

07/09/2006 - 07/16/2006; Divided Domino: The Official ZOMGCRACKYGO Plot Hole has been solved, and for a week, Ra ripped the IC and OOC realms away from each other, splitting up relationships, friendships, and keeping some people from slaughtering each other. The realms were each given six clues that would form a riddle, and that riddle had to be solved within the week, or else the worlds would never be reunited. Thankfully, it was solved, and the crack returned.

08/04/2006 - 08/06/2006; The Return of Shadow: As a result of the attempted exorcism of Shadow from OOC!Mokuba's person, Shadow comes back with a vengeance, inhabiting the body of IC!Mahaado. This weekend consisted of various curses being placed on the city (or rather, the world), and these curses were being cast with a certain person in mind. Several people pulled together in an attempt to guess who Shadow's target was, and the curses stopped when the target was found to be Sharik, the Pharaoh's daughter. Eventually, thanks to the help of OOC!Mahaado, Shadow was evicted from IC!Mahaado's body (and is currently who-the-hell-knows-where), but unfortunately, said eviction has left IC!Mahaado in a coma.

09/30/2006 (roughly) - 10/12/2006; Gods of a Different Kind: Finn, a mysterious visitor from Ireland, comes to Domino City in search of his missing sister. He got in touch with a few people, struck up conversations, made friends, and all sorts of other stuff - namely, kidnapping people for the purpose of using them as sacrifices, in order to gain the powers of the Irish deities. Pain, anger, and angst results from the abduction of peoples' loved ones, and rescue attempts were made. Fortunately, Finn was defeated, and all of his sacrifices and mind slaves were rescued, though some of them still have lingering scars from the whole esperience.

Mid-October 2006 - Mid-February 2007; The Dormant Period: A kind of quietness falls over Domino; no major plots happen during this time. Most "plots", if you could even call them that, were of various characters having their own subplots between each other - there's really nothing of note to put here.

02/24/2007 - 03/03/2007; Medieval Murder Mystery: While intended to be just a simple "muder mystery party" hosted by OOC!Honda, Freaky Shit happens due to shadow magic or some such, and it ends up transporting everyone in attendance back to the Middle Ages. Now they have to solve a real mystery - who murdered the King? - and also try and find a way to get back home. But some characters end up falling into their "characters" moreso than others, which makes things interesting~...

03/16/2007 - 03/18/2007; Dark Clouds II: The Dark Clouds return for another weekend of weird personality morphing!

04/06/2007 - 04/09/2007; Candyland: Coupons for free candy at a new store were handed out to people all over the city, particularly those who were young or young at heart. They were transported to a world of sweets that would make Willy Wonka seethe with jealousy - however, the sweets they were eating were actually citizens of the world, and everyone who ate the "citizens" were then arrested. Oh noes!

04/28/2007 - 05/19/2007; The End of the World: Hokay. So. Here's the earth... Basically what happened is that the Items were stolen, and the Amanes unleashed hell on Earth by reviving Zorc. The OOC world sank into darkness with amusing results, while the shadows slowly crept into the IC half of the world... as well as Zorc. Eventually, Zorc was defeated, and all was returned to normal... or as normal as Domino City can get.

06/15/2007 - 06/28?/2007; Camp Get-Away: Several people go off to summer camp, where fun... camp-type things happen. XD Really, it's not so much a plot as it is an alternate setting for people to do stuff and socialize, with other kinda of activities... but it was fun nonetheless.

08/04/2007 - 08/11/2007; Midlife Crisis: Due to a Time Wizard spell cast by Kafele, the entire population of Domino, if not the whole world, sprang twenty years into the future, and everybody became middle-aged adult versions of themselves. It was really interesting to see how everyone depicted their characters, 20 years older... 8D Of course, Domino was still as crazy as ever.

09/27/2007 - 10/01/2007; Crossover-Con: In the spirit of the anime conventions that many of the muns have been to, this is a convention for the characters where they cosplay as any other character aside from YGO ones. XD Very short, but made of much win! There was a skit contest, with small prizes for all~

10/20/2007 - 10/30/2007; An Artist's World: While working on a painting Yuugi weaves a spell that causes the Domino population (excluding himself and Amun of course) to fall into his current work. The task; the group must find a way out. However, there are rules that one has to follow within the realm of the painting. It'll be by trial and error that the group discovers these rules as well as their way out. But, is there really a way out? Or does escape mean falling into another painting? Are the city's main characters trapped in a world controlled by the whim of their local artist? And what is happening to the world they left behind with only the resident Dark Pharaoh and his lover in control of it?

1/26/2008 - 2/24/2008: Uber-War Plot: This is the shadow battle to end all shadow battles, or at least until the next big shadow battle comes along. The characters are divided into two sides - those loyal to the dark pharaoh (OOC!Amun and the Temple of Darkness Ascendent) and those against him (mainly IC!Mahaado and his crew). The war stretches on, and eventually ends abruptly, without any real conclusion as one side dropped off the face of the interwebs.

2/24/2008 - 3/15/2008: Genderbender: The same powerful magical blast (plothole) that ended the Uber-War had an unexpected side effect. Males became females and females became males! Of course, crack and chaos ensued.

5/22/2008 - 5/27/2008: Dark Clouds III: The infamous Dark Clouds return, for a third straight year.

6/13/2008 - 6/30/2008: Midlife Crisis II: Prompted by Kafele wanting to teach IC!Mahaado a lesson, the Time Wizard's magic arrow spins and stops 25 years into the future. If you thought things were weird in the present, wait till you see how everybody's grown up~

10/4/2008 - 10/12/2008: The Great Body Switch II: Once again due to the force known as a "plot hole" wich was cleverly disguised as an energy wave, lots of people switched bodies with each other. As can be expected, some people sabotaged their new bodies, some ruined other people's lives, and some were just... nice to each other. It's all Crack, y'all.

2/20/2009 - 3/1/2009: Chibigarten: Through the clever plot device known as the 'plot hole' (let's blame Anubis this time.) all characters are transported to back to their childhood. They all stay at a day camp called Chibigarten and have plenty of fun, chibi adventures!
