Category: General Gamertag: KSI Uppish 7 Forums Account Link / @KSI Uppish 7 I have been in KSI over a year. During this year I have personally went threw trials and tribulations that were both in and out of my control. During a short absent period one person was always there to check in on me and assure me that threw it all I am still a member of a team and have a home in this virtual world. Anything you throw at this guy he takes it. Always striving to be the best, I have personally watched him achieve his short term goals. I am honored to call him a role model, a rock for those who are in need, and a smack of wisdom when you're off the line. Category: Captain Gamertag: KSI JAK KNIFE 7 Forums Account Link / @KSI JAK KNIFE 7 Jak is a natural born leader with a laid back demeanor. Don't let that fool you, he has no problem keeping a lobby professional yet fun. This year and since i've known him he has always went out of his way to step in and step up when needed. If someone couldn't make it, Jak was there. I couldn't think of a better officer or Captain to have in my squad. What would we do without him!?

Category: Co-Founder Gamertag: KSI DC 7 Forums Account Link / @: @KSI DC 7 Reasons they deserve this award: DC not only being a Co-founder for SL and then leaving SL to go and help WD. He has also helped the News team and became the Head of education, and co-head of AAP. DC even now being sick, has put his all into his work in this community and continues to do so. His work and dedication is seen through out the community and is always someone that can be counted on. With several examples one being the other night while in a gaming lobby DC dropped everything to go help his division that was in need. With that he has won several awards for his acts and deeds as well as being someone you can count on for ever listening to for personals matters or to just to be a friend. He always strives for perfection in his squads and understands that with growth comes challenges. DC works hard to make everyone feel included, he welcomes all new ideas and helps implemented them in to his work. He does his help to help other like I stated previously he volunteered to go to WD to help them in need which many people know is hard coming to a division where no one truly knows you. He to this day has a positive attitude and continues to try to make WD the best it can be. Category: General Gamertag: KSI Uppish 7 Forums Account Link / @: @KSI Uppish 7 Reasons they deserve this award: There is so much I can say about Uppish so where do I begin? When I first joined Uppish was a fresh gen only being in for a few months. Since then I have seen him grow and become the Head of the News team as well as a fresh Cofo for the New division CS. His positive outlook on life and KSI has been proven by his work. There is not a da that goes by that i dont see him actively recruiting, talking with members or helping the next generation of Officer staff. Even with many obstacles in his path he has been able to over come them with large strides and i cant be more proud to call him someone I look up to. When it comes to this past year the HELLBORN Squad, ( Now called Rebellion) has grown in to something more than just a squad. Its a family. Through his constant dedication i have seen RCTs come in and stay and become more part of the community which is something not a lot can say. Uppish while still in college is able to juggling his school work, his job and KSI and still come out on top. His achievements show how amazing he truly is, he has been nominated several times for General and Captain in the past for the OTMs, he is constantly working hard to grow his squad and community and its always giving back to that community through his works on AAP, nod the news team. He has helped so many individuals including myself and i know he will only continue to do so with his time in KSI. Deep down this man is someone to look out for and deservers to be recognized for his hard work and dedication to this community. Category: Captain Gamertag: KSI JAK KNIFE 7 Forums Account Link / @: @KSI JAK KNIFE 7 Reasons they deserve this award: Jak is a an old man in this community. He joined over 5 years ago and his dedication to his community has been seen several times. This year jak has gone up and beyond what is required for a Captain. He has been there for his general and has helped him and guided him through this year. Jak is always in parties with people recruiting and being someone others can look toward for help might that be rcting, to become and officer and overall leadership. Jak has been able to help the Hellborn squad to grow and to gain and train new knowledgeable officer staff that have been able to help grow the community as a whole. Jak is a mentor to all those who want to learn more in this community. When I first joined back in 2015 he took me under his wing and got me to being a 1st captain several times ( now there are no numbers but i am sure you get the point). With work and being a single dad Jak spends as much time as he can with the community but still having fun. He has held so many members with gaming and being a friend to all. Jak is an amazing person and is an amazing role model to new officers who one day will be running the community when we have all retired. Category: Lieutenant Gamertag: KSIxJOKER Forums Account Link / @: @KSI J0KER DM Reasons they deserve this award: What can i say for joker? for being so young he has learned so much and has been an amazing addition to the KSI community. Joker has put his heart and soul in to learning for his higher ups and has dedicated his time to his community. I have seen him grow and move up the chain of command. If he makes a mistake he always learns from them and is never one to say he's right, he has learned from them and moves forward. In the beginning i could tell he would be nervous hosting Game nights or even speaking publicly however he has blossomed in to a fine young man and an amazing officer. I know him and Jak will split their current squad and he will become an amazing general one day. He has gone up and beyond what is asked of him and will continue to amaze me. Joke takes time getting to know each and every single member, when he is recruiting he makes the induvial feel at home and welcomes them that they become great assets to the squad! I as a member am proud of him and i hope he gets the recognition he so greatly deservers. Category: Staff- Sargent Gamertag: KSI Draconic Forums Account Link/ @: @KSI Draconic Reasons they deserve this award: Draco has always been a sweetheart and someone i have had the pleasure of knowing! He is always willing to listen to me and my lectures about the old days and listen to some of my old lady advice! he is always willing to help member's in games and has became very prolific in the the squad and through out the division. Draco ( now a captain himself but i cant do a muitli vote for that haha) Has learned from his higher ups and continues to learn from others around him. His game nights are always fun! he helps and accommodates all players and even tries to introduce new games so there is more variety through out the squad which is such a breath or fresh air. He continues to rct and does it with ease, his positivity and way with people and members makes those around him feed off his positive energy. I know he will continue to be an asset to this community and will be an amazing general himself on day. He deservers to be recognized for all his hard work!

Category: Senior Leader Gamertag: KSI Airborne 7 - CDM Link to Forums Account: @KSI Airborne 7 Reasoning: Airborne has been a vital piece to all the departments since his promotion to Chief Department Manager. I can speak for what he has done for me and my department. He has been here my whole journey in AAP. When he promoted me to Department Head, it was clear that we’d always have a line of communication whenever I needed it. He was readily available for myself and the other department heads to help out when and where needed. He is always trying to think outside the box and is open to new ideas throughout the departments. Category: Director Gamertag: KSI Swag 77 Link to Forums Account: @KSI Swag 77 Reasoning: I feel Swag’s best work this year was at Director. This man is the prime example of how a leader should be in the community. He’s faced some hardships during his time as Director, such as the former WD 7 Staff all dipping out at the same time and having to help rebuild the division from the ground up with leaders such as DC and Harley. Swag is very keen on ensuring everyone is accounted for and talked to, even goes out of his way to make time for members who want to talk and game. He also is big on education and making sure the leaders below him are trained efficiently and properly, setting up everyone below him for success. Category: Division Leader Gamertag: KSI Rogue 7 Link to Forums Account: @KSI Rogue 7 Reasoning: I feel Rogue did his best work this year as a Division Leader. This man was the life-blood of SL. He ate, slept, and breathed that division. Always providing a positive and intuitive atmosphere for everyone in SL. He helped continue to grow SL into the powerhouse it is today. Rogue played a big part in pushing through education of materials to the Generals, Officers, and 7’s Staff to keep everyone informed and prepared for anything they may have to do or come across. He always made time for the members and was the Voice of Reason during the peace talks in with Hydra in SL, getting all the members input on the situation. That tradition has become a stable in SL, having the leaders utilize Discord for a town hall type of meeting. Category: Co-Founder Gamertag: KSI DC 7 Link to Forums Account: @KSI DC 7 Reasoning: DC has had one hell of a year. He started off his journey in SL. His impact in SL was widely known. He was there for all of the members, he was actively helping the squads he was over with recruiting, all around helping push them towards the right direction. He was also instrumental in officer training and ensuring that any officer moving up the ranks was prepared and trained to the fullest extent. He took his experience and tools in SL to WD when they needed help. Since his arrival in WD, he has been actively pushing towards the improvement of the division. He is one of the key leaders in the community. Keep grinding man. Category: General Gamertag: KSI HARLEY 7 Link to Forums Account: @KSI Harleygirl Reasoning: Mama Harley, what is there not to say about her? She is an amazing leader who centers herself on the idea that her squad and division is a family. That family aspect truly pushes the influence that not only her but everyone is here for anyone. She was a great leader in DW before the merge and going in WD gave her the strength to keep pushing forward and strive for greatness. She is one of the sole reasons WD is still around today. I feel that as a General, she excelled the best. She was always on top on her of her duties, always readily available for anyone no matter the circumstance. Category: Captain Gamertag: KSI BLITZ11 Link to Forums Account: @KSI Blitz11 Reasoning: I feel Blitz excelled the most in my eyes at the Captain rank this year. He was a Captain in Elysium DW before the merge and then Elysium SL. When he was a captain, he was instrumental in making the gamenight schedule every week and hosting workshops throughout the week for members that needed it. He was actively teaching lower ranking members how to recruit and sat in on a plethora of recruitments to make sure it was done correctly. He used his personality to his advantage when it came to inactive members, approaching them, messaging them, trying to get them back involved and informed. He was my right hand man in Elysium, when I was his General and then his Co-Founder. Category: Lieutenant Gamertag: KSI MrsBlitz Link to Forums Account: @KSI MRSBLITZ Reasoning: I feel MrsBlitz here did an amazing job at LT throughout the year. In this position, she was the master at Member Retention. She constantly was reaching out to members and getting gamenights and squad activities popping. She was also there to help put the other officers with recruiting and training. Category: Forums Staff Gamertag: KSI VENUM 7 Link to Forums Account: @VENUM 7 Reasoning: Chad 2 Bad aka Venum truly embodies the way of the Toxic Mod. He actively is watching the forums for any stuff that may go down, he sits in on every interview for new hires and is always available to help out when and where needed. He played in big part in revamping the Rejoin/Join area and building its staff with suitable Join Mods. If he swings the Ban Hammer, know it was for a reason. Category: Department Member Gamertag: Loyalty Paradox Link to Forums Account: @Loyalty Paradox Reasoning: I feel Killer aka Loyalty Paradox has done his best work in my eyes as a Department member, specifically in the AAP Department. Upon his arrival in the department, he was actively trying to learn more and do the best work he could. He asked me countless questions and used that to further his knowledge of the department. He was always clean with his work and never had any issues. When he was promoted to Senior Staff, he used the position to help the department and others. Anytime a question popped up in our chat, there he was answering it or providing input. I’m excited to see what his next move in AAP is, thank you for your hard work. Category: Member Gamertag: KSI xSpartan Link to Forums Account: @SPARTAN MAN1911 Reasoning: Spartan is the GOAT of all members in my eyes. He is the nicest person in the world and is always down to talk with you or play a game with you. Sit in a party with him for 5 minutes, I guarantee he’ll be on your Top 10 Best Friend’s list in KSI. He’s one of those members, when you look at a squad, who constantly brings a fun attitude and life to the squad and party. Spartan is one of my favorite people in the community, keep doing your thing and providing a positive influence.

I'm KSI xKing 77 and I approve this message.
