GopDrager Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Let me tell my ArGo story. Well, I was 11 days old when I became an Internal Affairs officer, which I've been since then. In my 133 days of being in this alliance, I have received $22million in random aid, nevermind the aid schemes. Then, I've also made a bunch of money buy selling tech in the tech market furthering my nation, and now I'm on my way of growing to be big and strong. If you want an alliance that feels like a family, you want ArGo. If you want an alliance that knows what its doing, you want ArGo. Also, I haven't seen a link, so www.cnargo.co.nr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
