Duel Monsters Expert is a free-to-play online PC game released in June 2004 by Devourer of Souls that is based on the and is played on the online gaming site BYOND. The game itself is made in the programming language DM, which is an abbreviation for Dream Maker (Dream Maker is also the name of the program in which games are coded.)
Duel Monsters Expert offers all players of BYOND free-to-play manual (as opposed to an earlier released game named Duel Monsters Online that features automated play like the GBA games) gameplay that gives players a more professional dueling experience because the gameplay resembles the real-life . Duel Monsters Expert had always had a smaller amount of players on it daily, but the overall intelligence and dueling capabilities of its players were overall higher than that of the players in Duel Monsters Online. This could be because Duel Monsters Expert was harder to play, and required more thinking than Duel Monsters Online (which made Duel Monsters Expert less attractive to Duel Monsters Online's more younger player-base.)
The players of Duel Monsters Expert can play against each other on a large map that has enough room for more than 400 players to duel at the same time, making it very easy for players to find a location to duel. Duel Monsters Expert currently features an out-doors map that also contains locations like a card-shop, a parking lot, the Kaiba-Corporation building and many more locations that will seem familiar to fans of the Yu-Gi-Oh! series.
Cards
Duel Monsters Expert currently contains all cards featured in the and more, seeing as how Duel Monsters Expert also offers its players the ability to add cards from the and from the manga into their decks. Players duel using cards, in the same way as in the . Each player has the ability to use an easy to handle deck editing utility that is able to search cards by every single one of their aspects. When a player has finished a deck, they simply save it and exit the deck editor, and then look other players up to play against.
A newcoming player starts out with all cards as they log in, making newcomers able to jump directly into the game without having the fear of other players being too far ahead of them when it comes to collecting cards. However, Duel Monsters Expert's "full deck editor" featured as it was called some time after it was released had not always been implemented into the game. There was a time where players had to buy starter decks, booster-packs and single cards from a card shop in-game. Cards were purchased with the in-game currency known as Meta (which, does not exist anymore.)
Gilfy has got the best decks, and the best deck to make would be a 3 tribute deck.
Payment
As said before, Duel Monsters Expert is entirely free-to-play as its a fan game, and will always be free-to-play, as doing otherwise would result in a lawsuit, giving it an advantage (which in all honesty, isn't its only advantage) over the very popular .
OOAKs and Custom Cards
Duel Monsters Expert features OOAKs (One Of A Kind) cards and Custom Cards (cards created by the player-base and added into the game to be used by all players.) OOAKs are currently earned through winning tournaments and spending the Tournament Points won through them on an in-game machine called the "OOAK Maker", which creates the unique cards for the player, as long as they have enough Tournament Points.
Custom Cards however, are very different from OOAKs because Custom Cards are freely submitted by the player-base and require no entry in any kind of tournament. Also, Custom Cards are subjected to review by DukeZero and Devourer of Souls. OOAKs are not reviewed until they are deemed a problem by Devourer of Souls.

A Motivation Activist is an activist for Motivation.
Hence a motivation activist can be defined as a person who not only inspires, motivates by being a writer or speaker but also ensures that the desired motivated action has been accomplished.
A motivation activist is a person who motivates in a missionary zeal and in a voluntary spirit. An activist, in the cause of motivating the society, for a better, harmonius, productive and prosperous living.
Motivation as a tool to effective learning and successful growth has been there for ages. In ancient scriptures motivation was essentially attached with the duties and responsibilities of individuals. This was used mainly to bring order, peace and hence growth and harmony in self and society. With the passage of time many people have taken in to the path of motivating the younger generation of the society. The focus on the youth has been there because of the drive, power and ability of the young age is far supreme to any other sections.
From Krishna, Confucious, Buddha, Mahavira, Moses, Jesus, Mohammad,Martin Luther King Jr., Swami Vivekananda, Mahatma Gandhi to Dalai Lama etc. the world has seen many people through out history as motivators. Motivators have been there in freedom struggles, social movements, religious reforms, spiritual awakening, scientic revolutions and personal humane growth.
In the globalised world when more and more people are embarking upon a sure-shot career, the concept, idea and approach of motivation has undergone a drastic change. People who are motivators have started looking for exclusive pecuniary benefits and the cause stands alienated. The role of a motivation activist comes here to energise the youth and make them set the goals for achieving a better world.

Let me define the grey Internet as somewhere between the Internet that is well indexed and the dark Internet. The dark being that inaccessible part of the Internet, perhaps because it is private.
The grey Internet is more about websites that are poorly indexed by search engines. They may have a great message and story to tell. They may do it in a half-decent way. But they are just not Internet search engine friendly. By definition they have, for example a poor Google Page Ranking. Typically such a website will have no of very few other websites linking to it. Any websites that do link to it will also have a poor PageRank.
An example might be a hotel that puts up a website and does little more than establish the website. Any search on Google would probably mean you have to go to page 100 to see the website listed, if you are lucky since Google favours the hotel chains and hotel listing sites so much.
