IG Nickname: =AV=Vaeldious
Age (IRL): 29
Timezone (CET): US-Central Time
Why do you want to join AE? Well, I pretty much do story telling as it is for my group, the Nomads of Carson. Having some of those stories published in AE would be nice, and doing freelance stories unrelated to Nomads would help keep my skills sharp too. Plus, I come here quite often.

Of course, I'd be very interested. We're only found in SA:MP, but I've seen you there too. Perhaps we can submit periodicals as filler and draw for your publications. You can contact me (=AV=Vaeldious) or either of my aides, Dassius Synra or Makala Sparxx in game.

This is a cool innitiative. Would've been nice to have last elections and will be nice to have these elections as well. Also a group with a history. I remember Polopolo being actively involved with AE and the HQ being across the old FBI HQ in Downtown LS.

Xavas / Jakeup was my last EIC, before the group faded into obscurity. We used to have the domain news.argonathrpg.com. Planning to earn that level of prestige once more. :D
