av.soldat is ours, please get in there anytime you are on IRC.

Afri is ex-NoS who went inactive for a few months while visiting his native Germany, but is due back this weekend.  I am really excited about having an old battle-buddy in AV.  Afri is good guy, good soldier please give him big welcome when he gets online with us (hopefully Sunday).

Afri plays Soldat as a sideline to his main game of CounterStrike.  I don't know from personal experience but I have heard from other people that he's a pretty badass CS player who has played in some of the top clans.  He's probably gonna be a little bit rusty at Soldat after 3 months away, but he's much better than decent, better than me (at least he used to be).  Of course I've been improving my game for the last 3 months while he's been getting fat and soft on good German beer, so...

I don't know if Afri has ever played much TW, but again, hopefully us TW-junkies can help get him excited about life in the Trenches.

Say hi to newest AV member Armageddon. 

Armageddon came to AV after deciding to leave RE.  He is a friend of ex-NoS soldier Cappy and any friend of Cappy's is a friend of mine.  He's only been playing since February and is pretty modest about his skills, but he did better than OK in his trial and especially showed good teamwork and focus.  A CTF player, if I'm not mistaken he hasn't gotten seriously into TW yet but maybe we can show him the light. 

NOTE: Normally we discourage people from switching clans within the Syndicate but Predator did give his OK to this transfer.  It is very important to note that AV does not accept people from clans that we fight against regularly if there is any bad feelings about it on any side.

I am putting iDante up as equal partner co-leader with me.  I trust that nobody will have any issues with this, as  iDante was one of the most pro-active contributors in Hunt, contributing maps, map mods, and experimental scripts, as well as having been consistently active in clan matches, and a good guy all around.

Ideally, although we both play CTF and TW, he is going to be more responsible for keeping us active in CTF matches while I am going to tackle the job of getting us active in TW matches.  That's the concept anyways, as with all things right now we are new and still finding our perfect balance.
