Senior Leader (Senior Directors/BoD Members) Gamertag (Rank - Division/Squad) - KSI Queenjess 7 (Senior Director - All of KSI) Link to forums account - Reasoning why they deserve this - This write up is a serious undertaking as there's a plethora of different valuable things one could say about this amazing leader. Queenjess has kept her finger on the beating pulse of the community and responded to the masses with swift cat-like reflexes, excellent professionalism, and 100% accuracy all the time. You KNOW word is official when it comes from this one. She's a mentor to numerous members within our community including myself and many of the higher ranked leaders. For those who do not consider her a mentor, she's definitely a role model for EVERYONE here in KSI. It's safe to say she's the face of the community, and for good reason. She's literally involved in everything that goes on here. If she didn't enact the change, she's a part of it. If she's wasn't the originator of a great idea, she's the driving force behind it. When it comes to enforcing policy, it reminds me of her smiley gif in her forum name because it suits as she does crack the whip to keep everyone in line. There's no one more ferocious when it comes to protecting our members. She shuts Poop down quickly, reviews the information at hand and digs further and once her mind is made up game is over. Being the mama bear of KSI as well as being among the most influential members here isn't easy, but she handles the position in her own fashion gracefully. The way she operates in this rank will could never be duplicated, only wished for. Director Gamertag (Rank - Division/Squad) - KSI HUCKLBERRY7 (Dir - IO, CO, FI, SH) Link to forums account - Reasoning why they deserve this - This guy has restored my faith in the directors. He's cool, calm, patient, calculating, mature, and really works with his divisions. He does not mind getting dirty with handling issues yet he also uses events as teaching tools to groom leaders which I really like and few folks do around here. It's so hard NOT to get along with him. He's a fun loving guy who's always looking out for the well-being of others. He's not one to shy away from a challenge or a sticky situation that must be addressed even if it means doing something right even when its an unpopular choice. This guy is friggin awesome and the same goes for his integrity. Can't get enough of him and I'm very happy to have him as my director. He was a great find for KSI and has become an integral member of upper leadership. Co-Division Leader Gamertag (Rank - Division/Squad) - KSI ACIDVAPOR 7 (FI) Link to forums account - /user/4563-ksiacidvapor7/">http://www.ksiforums.org/user/4563-ksiacidvapor7/ Reasoning why they deserve this - This was a very tough one for me. Between Jezrien and Acid... these guys are both serious contenders for this. Unfortunately, I haven't worked with Jez on a clan-ops level but have seen his work with the News Team and I love what I see. However, I know Acid and what he's done for KSI and specifically my division. Co-Division Leader is a strange rank. It reminds me of the Major rank back in the day. An awkward one to really feel out and make it your own, but he's done just that. This man meets with ALL the officers of FI on a regular basis as well as gaming with the junior members of the div keeping his fingers on the pulse of FI. If something is going on, he'd know just as soon as the Sgt who's about to report it lol. He's my go-to guy when it comes to anything and everything that deals with security issues and my information kiosk regarding those as well. If any member has a question about who so & so is associated with, or something is amiss, he's readily available to readily put down that knowledge about folks who aren't even posted anywhere. I love that, and his knowledge of these things have been instrumental in keeping FI safe and secure. IA department can attest to his contributions to their field of work. He's very creative, coming up with intricate plans to assist squads on a larger scale and that's a HUGE help with divisional planning. His style to mitigate issues, award punishments or reward individuals is just so smooth it keeps things on an even keel. No matter what's going on, after talking to him, you just feel like everything is alright in the world with his cool attitude and comforting words. He's got the respect of all those in FI and those he comes across in the community. He's a solid leader and stand up guy who will certainly go even further in KSI given the opportunity. He's been a blessing to have in FI. I'm very happy to have & work with him. Founder Gamertag (Rank - Division/Squad) - KSI Oraclex 7 (FI) Link to forums account - /user/6610-ksi-oraclex-7/">http://www.ksiforums.org/user/6610-ksi-oraclex-7/ Reasoning why they deserve this - KSI Oraclex 7 is instrumental in seemingly ALL divisional affairs. From on the spot, last minute gathering for a quick meeting, passing out time sensitive information directly to individuals, to hosting events, mentoring & training officers, policy implementation & enforement. Great member to have in FI and leader to have in KSI. SHE IS NOW RESPONSIBLE FOR OVER 80 NAME CHANGES IN FORCED INDUCTION THIS YEAR (2013) ALONE via "Corporal's Showdown" tournaments held a few days out of each week! She is a true leader who's wisdom and guidance is sought after by all officers and other members from within the division. Many members who she works with regularly consider her the mother of FI as she knows everything about everyone and has a great memory of who's doing what, when, why etc & she's fierce in her protection of FI members. Mama don't play dat. Oracle has devoted much time and effort to recover a struggling squad, recruit and train it's way up from the brink of merging to splitting, then immediately directing her attention to a now stagnant squad elsewhere. Personally trained every General to take over their respective squads. The amount of work and effort she puts into KSI and her members is astounding. Oracle is a highly motivated, dedicated, and committed member of this division and KSI. Certainly one of the hardest working members I know of or have encountered and is a gem to have knowing she's another bomb leader in KSI. Her efforts greatly reflect that which embodies all that is KSI in the most positive light and is a shining representation of Forced Induction Leadership. She simply rocks. Founders, good luck topping this one. There's simply no slowing down for her as she's already set her sights on other areas of KSI to get into. Dept Heads, one or two of you will be seeing her application very soon Co-Founder Gamertag (Rank - Division/Squad) - KSI The Light 7 (EO) Link to forums account - /user/14042-lightinshadows/">http://www.ksiforums.org/user/14042-lightinshadows/ Reasoning why they deserve this - This guy brought back his division, EO, from the brink of death. Simply put. AS A COFOUNDER, let me emphasize that. There was quite a learning curb for him to get sped up on, but he's a quick study, he saw the direction his division was going in and refused to allow it to continue. There's a reason why he's a Founder now. EO is now a thriving division showing promise once again with over 250+ active members. He's busted his ass to cultivate the junior leadership within his division, recruit/train, and motivate his people to successfully save his div. He's giving or gave away a friggin XBOX ONE as a prize for certain criteria. The guy is simply a diamond in the rough KSI has uncovered and we're about to see how shiny it is in...The Light. General Gamertag (Rank - Division/Squad) - KSI FuzzyFinS Link to forums account - /user/15157-ksi-fuzzyfins/">http://www.ksiforums.org/user/15157-ksi-fuzzyfins/ Reasoning why they deserve this - This was a crazy tough decision between him, KSI El Pollo 7 (IO), and KSI TwstDFists 7 (newest FI cofo & creator of all UK squad). I had to go with Fuzzy because of how he came to be a General, what he has gone through, and the undying dedication he brings every day to this community. Fuzzy was recruited & trained by KSI Shinobi 7 & myself. We had to get this guy in here. We instantly knew what we had on our hands here. This guy is simply destined for greatness here in KSI. After taking over Intake he was immediately faced with having to kick out 2 members and about 2 weeks later had to deal with a security threat due to poaching. I believe within 2 months of being General he encountered just about everything any Gen in nearly all circumstances would have faced and he did so superbly. Talk about a crash course. He is always professional and courteous to everyone treating all with respect even if they don't. He motivates his peers and all others in FI. He literally has read everything on the forums in attempts to become more knowledgeable to assist everyone to the best of his ability. He sought out additional responsibilities and continues to do so. Fuzzy created and currently manages Forced Induction's first and only Welcoming Committee which is doing outstanding work with greeting new members, grooming them to become productive members of our community, and providing them with necessary information about what they're a part of here. I'm proud to say that he too is FI product. He's humble, respectable, and will be the first to admit when he's wrong and fix it on the spot. He'll go to the ends of the earth for anyone in his squad, div, and KSI. His drive and determination has opened eyes to many and has sparked a new kind of activity here in FI. This guy is a guarantee for KSI. I'm about to say something that may turn some heads, please don't shoot me for doing so.... but he's the next Huckleberry 7. Boom. The word is out. That's the regard I have for this individual and the potential he has. Captain Gamertag (Rank - Division/Squad) - KSI ItS SmOoTh Link to forums account - /user/15541-ksi-its-smooth/">http://www.ksiforums.org/user/15541-ksi-its-smooth/ Reasoning why they deserve this - B/c he's smooth? No? Smooth brought a whole new feel and trend to what it means to be a captain. He's very professional in his dealings with each member he communicates with even if the situation is volatile. There was an issue with AD Dawg popping in random parties with some of the junior members in FI. This guy made it a point to jump into every party on his friends' list to get it set to invite only and when he did end up in a party with a junior member and AD Dawg he quickly squashed that. He calmly explained who that member was to the junior and why they're blacklisted and TALKED AD Dawg out of the party interestingly enough. I caught the tail end of that conversation but the way it was handled put a smile on my face not just because of how well he took care of the issue but knowing that he's like this ALL the time. The dude really is smooth - a cool, calm, collected man with a head on his shoulders. At the time he was captain he had pushed the Velocity HH Team further in their adventures of dominating the records to 13-0. He went so far as to get them all registered onto weekendwarfare.org as well as read & explain all the HH rules, how practices will be ran when/where, and was the first to take the lead on how the team will operate on certain maps. He was a good field general and now the general over that very squad. He's earned the respect of his seniors, peers, and subordinates. Having always being the helping hand or providing the words of encouragement, he's known throughout FI and several other divisions especially through his many appearances on KSI's live streams on twitch =) I'm confident this individual will go far in KSI. You'll see Forum Staff (AAP/MODS/ADMINS/DEPARTMENT HEADS) Gamertag (Rank - Division/Squad) - KSI Doctor 7 (SH) Link to forums account - Reasoning why they deserve this - This guy is pure amazing in the flesh. He's our everything. He's the senior forum mod we all go to for answers and fixes. He's our bamf COD player we sick on public lobbies to spank them into submission. He's our unofficial co-host for Thursday live streams if he's not moderating chat there as well lol. Hell, he's the guy we're submitting all the damn nominations with expectation of him, as AAP Dept Head, to master debate with his staff and declare who's the best of each rank of this year.... no big deal right? Seriously, this guy is all over the place and is crazy active everywhere he goes. You need him? He's there in a flash. It's like pressing the on demand button on your remote. I love it. And we all know and love him. The KSI easy button....Mr. Fix it <3 Member Gamertag (Rank - Division/Squad) - KSI Bear46 (FI / Intake) Link to forums account - /user/6624-%CE%B2%CE%B5%CE%B1%CA%80/">http://www.ksiforums.org/user/6624-%CE%B2%CE%B5%CE%B1%CA%80/ Reasoning why they deserve this - This guy is the bombdiggity! The ONLY reason why he isn't a 7 after being here as long as he has is simply b/c he's denied all promotions until he's ready personally with availability. He's helped our div, the forums, new joins and random members across KSI in a full spectrum of ways from how to div transfer, who they should get in contact with for what, how to navigate the forums all sorts of things. He's gotten his hands dirty with a few special tasks I've given him directly to help safeguard FI which he accepted willingly and executed perfectly. I can not wait to see this guy move up the ranks and b/c he's already making waves as a Sgt. He brings the fun back to the forums and meetings on xbl. He's the voice from the bottom we desperately need in every division to light a fire under some of these folks. He's willing and HAS helped many if not all divisions at some point. Simply a very knowledgeable individual, very funny, very active, and very helpful to ALL who comes to him. I'm proud to say he's the best damn Sgt I've come across since KSI McClaytone who some of you old heads may remember who was also FI product. I had to think long and hard about each of these nominations except for when it came to this. I knew exactly who I want to nominate and who I truly feel should be member of the year. This guy hands down. Thank you for all that you do! GFX Artist Gamertag (Rank - Division/Squad) - KSI P0W3R 77 (IO) Link to forums account - /user/5072-neal-caffrey/">http://www.ksiforums.org/user/5072-neal-caffrey/ Reasoning why they deserve this - I can really only say something about this particular trial gfx artist. KSI P0W3R 77 as puts together some great content of his own free will or per request for many folks. This is a talent he's used to help bring that added flavor to his version of the "KSI experience" to his members and peers. The guy has learned a lot since becoming a trial gfx artist and he's really showing off what he's got and taking off with what he's learned to put a smile on everyone's face. He's willing to try things he hasn't done before or specialize in just to do just that - my own sig for example. He specializes in real people as the main feature, however, I liked this particular character and he did a helluva job working that & was completely out of his comfort zone. Productions Staff- Gamertag (Rank - Division/Squad)- KSI TODOH (LS / Memories) *LEAD EDITOR* Link to forums account- /user/10434-oppai-3/">http://www.ksiforums.org/user/10434-oppai-3/ Reasoning why they deserve this- Um... go look at www.youtube.com/TheKSIProductions ? The guy has some serious talent and creativity with the clips and 'tages he puts out. He's particular & especially critical on himself. But his awesome skills isn't purely the reason why I'm nominating him, although clearly worthy. Todoh has taken some new members of the Productions Team under his wing who have gone from near clueless to great editors as well to include KSI El Pollo 7 (aka Chickenwing), and KSI Chaozzz (now just Chaozzz). This is an attribute of great leaders. Those who not only have the talent and put it to use, but those who pass on their knowledge to better others. I've never personally worked with him, but he's good in my book. Give this man a medal!
