What an Account Adds
You never need an account here. The full protocol runs for anonymous visitors, free, and that is permanent. This page is simply the honest answer to the obvious next question: what does an account actually get you?
You Never See the Same Target Twice
Remote viewing has a memory problem, and the field has known it for decades. The moment you recognize a target — even faintly, even wrongly — you are no longer perceiving. You are remembering. Recognition is the cheapest signal your mind can produce, and it will happily substitute for the expensive one you actually came for.
With an account, every target you are ever shown is permanently excluded from every future selection.
Not for a while. Not until some pool cycles around. Permanently. Every session you ever run is a first contact with a target your memory has never touched, and that stays true on your thousandth session.
We cannot give this to anonymous visitors, and the reason is not a paywall — it is arithmetic. We do not know who a guest is, so we cannot know what they have seen. Guests draw from the same optimized target pool as everyone else, but only an account can carry the one piece of state that matters here: your own history.
A Record That Survives
A guest exists only inside one browser on one device. Clear your cookies, switch phones, open a different browser, and that history is gone — for us too, unrecoverably, because we never knew whose it was. An account replaces that with a record that follows your sign-in: every session, every score, every correct call, on any device, for as long as the system exists.
And if you have already been flipping as a guest — good; that is what the open door is for. Claiming an account attaches everything you did anonymously in this browser to your new record. Trying it first costs you nothing, including your history.
Practice Becomes Data
Every session in your record is kept whole — sketch, target, score — and you can go back to any of them: stand your six-month-old sketch next to the target it was judged against and see what your younger self missed. Your accuracy charts over time, so the question "am I actually getting better?" gets answered by data instead of by whichever hits you happen to remember.
And because every session carries its moment in time, your record can be charted against the environmental variables the field has argued about for decades — geomagnetic activity (the planetary Kp index), local sidereal time, and the rest. Whether those effects are real in you is a question your own data can answer. That is not a small thing: most practitioners have never had enough of their own scored sessions in one place to even ask it.
A Rating, Not a Score
Members hold a rating, and it is worth being precise about what that word means here. It is not a stored number drifting out of date. Every time your rating is needed it is computed live from your scored sessions, measured against the scored sessions of the entire population — your standing among everyone who has ever put sketches on the record here. It is what the leaderboards rank.
It is also the road inward. The public coin flip is the proving ground. The viewers doing the advanced work on this system are selected from account holders with a demonstrated record — and we cannot select someone we cannot recognize.
Group ARV
The largest thing an account opens is the group work. Group ARV points this site's machinery — free-response viewing, late-bound targets, independent judging — at real-world questions, worked by several proven viewers at once, their independent sessions aggregated into a single call before the event resolves. It is the most serious thing this system does, and it is members-only by necessity: a group call is built out of identified records, and every protection above — the never-repeat rule, the rating, the history — is part of what makes it trustworthy.

What It Costs
Nothing — the same answer as everywhere else on this site. There are no tiers, nothing to upgrade to, and no part of the protocol held hostage behind registration. Signing up takes an email address, which is used to sign you in and not much else; the privacy policy is short, and we suggest actually reading it.
An account was never designed to get something from you. It exists so the system can know the one thing about you that makes it better: what you have already seen.
Ready when you are: create your account. All it takes is your email, and we'll set everything up for you.
