So you want in.
There is no form, no ticket, and no “accepting members” post. The only way into Carson Valley is knowing someone here, and that is on purpose. Here is the honest version of how it actually works.
Actually know someone
Not someone you added yesterday to get an invite. Someone who has spent real time with you and would put their name on you. If nobody here knows you, that is your starting point. Go be someone people want to vouch for.
They bring you up
When a member thinks you would fit, they mention you to us. That is the referral, and it matters because it is their reputation on the line, not a checkbox on a form.
We have a chat
Nothing scary. Just a normal conversation so we can get a feel for you and make sure you will click with how we play.
You're in
If it is a fit, you get your invite and we get you set up: your characters, a department, the CAD, all of it. After that, you are one of us.
A vouch isn't a favor
It is a risk someone takes on you. If you get in on a member's word and then act up, break the rules, or make them look bad, it does not land on you alone. It lands on them too. So don't ask anyone to vouch for you unless you actually plan to show up and do it right.
Don't know anyone here yet? Honestly, most people don't at first. There is no line to jump and no shortcut to buy. Go meet people, be someone worth vouching for, and let it happen on its own. That is kind of the whole point.
