A Guide for Newcomers!

A Guide For Newcomers:

First of all, we would just like to say a big thank you for visiting the forums! We hope that you enjoy your stay here.

We have constructed a general guide for users of the forum, this should answer all of the questions that you have that are related to the Academy.

Step-by-step Guide


1. Create an account on the forum!

Please make sure that the account that you are making on the forum is the same as your account name on all Dueling Programs/Sites. You can easily create an account by clicking the "register" button located on the legend bar below the banner, or to the top right of your web browser (below the URL of the page).


2. Introduce yourself!

You can tell us about yourself in the Introduction section of the forums!
Be sure to include what you like about The Academy.


3. Be good and read the rules!
To ensure an awesome stay at the Academy we hope that you read the rules of the Academy.

4. Tests!
Before ANYONE starts, you all need to be tried out to see where you are at. If you didn't like your test result you can try again in a week. To receive a Test just pm someone in the Administrations group or just ask for one in the chat.

Before you get tested you need to know ALL the rules. Those are posted in the "Rules" section of the guild site. Then make a test request in the "Test Requests" section.

7. The Ranking System!

Just like in the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX anime, we have a ranking system that is solely dedicated to measure how good you are currently, but do not take the results seriously as you may have had a tinge of bad luck! 

The Ranks are as follows: 



Chaos - The Elite. 
Some say their dueling skills are beyond both our comprehension and beliefs.



Dark Magic - The Advanced. 
Their skills are very reliable and have led to a multitude of victories throughout the history of the Academy!



Dark Magician - The Brilliant! 
Their brilliant and strategic minds have helped and guided us to conquer over other Academies!



Dark Magician Girl - The Capable! 
Their skills in Dueling and providing wins are extraordinary. They help us stay and keep us on target, they are, the Foundation.



Magician's Valkyria - The Energetic. 
Despite being ranked the lowest in the Academy, they are very energetic and are keen on improving in every possible aspect of dueling.



7. Post Test!

After getting tested, wait patiently for the results. Do not under any circumstances rush the tester.
When the tester is done grading you, they will post it in the test results section and they will link it to you on the forum's chatbox.


8. The Tournaments!

In the Academy we regularly host tournaments for the members of the Acad. Rules within the tournaments vary as there are a lot of tournaments and are made by the moderators of the tournament. Tournament moderators are simply members of the Acad that have been assigned a task to successfully host tournaments for the Guild Members. 


Each tournament has a set requirement that you must meet before you can enter, this can involve your Rank or the amount of Duel Points that you have. 


9. Duel Points
Duel Points is the Academy's currency when it comes to the forums; you can spend it on anything that's available! 

Duel Points  is the currency that is used by members on the forums. These points measure how active you are on the forums and how much you have contributed to the Acad. There are multiple methods to earn Duel Points.
