I don't see AARs or RPGs as massively contributory, but leading competitions in those areas is. As the organizer of the King of the Hill competition, he shows some potential at least. I'll have to think about this.
I understand why you feel this way, but this area of the site has grown twofold even since his last application. It is quickly becoming a noteworthy section of the site and as I said, it is drawing in new members. No doubt that when ETW is released we will see a massive increase in the amounts of existing games such as these. (I myself am helping to organize one).
I consider the multiplayer AARs to be contributions. They take time to administer to and speak volumes for this member's integrity and willingness to help others.
Controlling them is hard work and helps others enjoy the site - they are contributions. Participating is not.

Here are some links that might prove to be (somewhat) useful.
AAR.
His report in a recent ES Volume. [Ancient Empires Elysium Report]
On the candidate now, I am leaning towards a yes. Participating in these community games is in no way a contribution, but moderating them is not an easy job. His ES work seems nice enough, and judging by his past citizenship votes, it is clear that he has put a lot of effort into improving, and actually making himself useful. He has a lot of potential, and his joining content staff can only help him contribute further. I do believe that he could have waited a bit more, so he could make his ES contributions more apparent though.
I'll research him a bit more, and then make my final decision.

I'll give some further glance, but right now I'm tempted into a yes.
"Romans not only easily conquered those who fought by cutting, but mocked them too. For the cut, even delivered with force, frequently does not kill, when the vital parts are protected by equipment and bone. On the contrary, a point brought to bear is fatal at two inches; for it is necessary that whatever vital parts it penetrates, it is immersed. Next, when a cut is delivered, the right arm and flank are exposed. However, the point is delivered with the cover of the body and wounds the enemy before he sees it."
- Flavius Vegetius Renatus (in Epitoma Rei Militari, ca. 390)
I'm leaning yes,.
Shouldn't there be a poll at this point? It's been 4 days.
Its ok Justy.
Abstain.
Voted yes. He has not entirely convinced me, but he is decent enough and shows promise.
