Love, Nova <3
To avoid much of the trouble its predecessor ran into, Shades of Vertigo has a few very specific mechanisms in place as far as joining and membership goes. You may already know about the Member Ranks; if not, it would be good to skim that over after reading this post, just to get the full feel of how membership works. This post, however, is about how membership happens.
Anyone can join the forum -- this is how we honor the promise that is Rule #1. Joining the main RP is a little bit different, though. That requires someone to become an Initiate or Full Member, meant to assure that they are both a good roleplayer and a good member of the community.
There are two ways to go about getting on the path to Full Member: applying for it, or being recruited in.
Applying for membership is the route for those who find their way to the forum on their own and/or don't have anyone amongst the current membership to vouch for them. This is a simple matter of roleplaying in the FRZ for a while to demonstrate your skill and then bringing those efforts to the attention of the staff.
The other method is recruitment. As a benefit of reaching Full Member a person can bring in their friends who RP, granting them instant Initiate status upon joining and putting up an introduction saying as much. The recruiting member must be willing to vouch for the new member's roleplaying skills, and if those skills are seriously lacking the staff can opt to keep the new member at Initiate until they improve. Training RPs will be made available to help with this.
And that's how it works. Questions?
