Let's not talk about whether someone will make the site or what. Let's just talk about the possibility of a YGO RP.
I thought about a YGP RP a looong time ago. Back when I was 14. A friend of mine who had experience with YGO RP reacted violently when I shared my thoughts on it because of how terrible the system works aka people cheating. But having had more experience with freeform, I am more confident at the prospect of a freeform YGP RP. I love cinematic themes. I think in RP that's what the deck should be about while keeping the game aspect in a balance.
A lot of my confidence in the idea comes from my experience in Predormitum, so I'm optimistic about the possibility, especially with Yu-Gi-Oh Arc V's splendid duel choreography to give an example to rpers. I don't know about the type of rpers it would attract but gotta try! YGO RP needs to be developed anyway.
As for plot, I definitely am thinking of rival duel schools and maybe even Arc V's dimensional war. Both can work alongside together, with the latter like a swimming shark plot. I like Arc V's take on the summoning methods being something special. It stems from my experience with it. When you're new to it, it DOES seem like a bunch of confusing gibberish. And with Solid Vision, I think it has a really cool sci-fi spin into it that you can cleverly write as something realistic. Action Duels? I can really see that become popular and a hit. Even Duel Schools (since at least now people do go to ordinary schools.)
What I like about the idea of a YGO RP the most is its refreshing concept. Card games being such a big deal is silly but that's balanced by how serious/real/fun you would take it in a fictional universe. It's like something you can laugh at OOC while at the same time seriously tackle and have fun IC. I guess what I'm trying to say is it's not a serious theme and it's, well, for kids.

Five years ago, the Pokemon League formed Lux to create a new world order of peace and harmony. A rebellion formed, under the name of Nox, cries tyranny at Lux's new microcosmic control. Their civil war now tears the Pokemon world apart. The world hangs in the balance of predormitum. Which side will you choose?
is a high stakes RP set in a dystopian Russian society recovering from an apocalyptic war between the armies of Heaven and Hell. Greater Russia now stands free from the influence of God and the Devil, and all non-humans run the risk of execution. Outside the safe zones lies the contained wasteland of Moscow, where demons and mutated shadowbeasts continue to terrorize the remaining human survivors who have been penned in with them. As of late, increasing evangelic disturbances threaten the peace that has ruthlessly maintained by the secret police.
