Ok, so I'm not one that posts on these. But after the hard time I give this young woman, it is owed. I'm KSI GHIDORAH, Athena joined my squad Prestige when I was a Lt. When the first joined she was swarmed with people. So I stayed away. Too many people interested. Then one night Athena and I were the only two left in a party chat. That is the momet she saved my life. As many know I'm a rebel. I'm hot headed. And kinda weird. Athena never saw that. She was always kind. Always laughing. Always there. She started pulling in people to KSI as but a SGT. Her repore with the squad and community was uncanny. Even though everyone begged her to move up, I wanted to see her in action. And boy oh boy did she. Not thinking she could have the time, Athena had talks with many of the close people in her life like Sauske and New Era. So when she came to me and asked my opinion I realised she saw me as het friend. Athena didn't just "learn and attend" workshops to move up. She and went head first. Learning by doing. Asking multiple people. Never turning down advice even if she had heard it already. She was always THE GAMENIGHT to be at when she hosted. Thete was never a dull moment. In a month's time she had surpassed every officer and general of our squad in repore with the squad, community but with recruits as well. I was there when she was made an LT and then she exploded. She was everywhere! Even making friends with other squads in other divisions. In two months time, there wasn't a person in SL that didn't know her. People talk about how informative her workshops are and how much more confident they are in their duties. Moral has been boosted. When I made Captain, I had been fighting a very terrible deadly disease. I was given 3 years to live and had to step down from my duties. NOW most people when they step down are forgotten by the officers and up. But not her. A text every day to check on me. 1 hour calls every week. Always just to talk. Her spirit made my hateful heart want to change. And I got help. Our Corp knew my condition way before her and they didn't say or do anything. But she did. When I said I was ready to return as an SSGT she welcomed me back but also laid down the law. Never showing any bias anything towards anyone. She helped me embrace the last 3 years of my life with hope and laughter. With a new attitude. Training more efficiently and hopefully soon helping me to LT while she herself leads are squad. Athena changed and saved my life. She has touched MANY others. She is definitely in deserving conditions for this award. There is no idea of who else she has helped or saved that have stayed quiet. She's a blessing and a saving grace to me and our squad. Good luck @KSIxAthena

Drop.. There's so much to say about this guy. I got the pleasure of first working with drop as a forums mod. We didn't get to close but I got to see all the work and dedication this man put in. Me and Drop really started getting close when I became Senior Forums mod, we worked very well together and he brought alot of ideas to the table and really helped shape web ops to be in the very place it is now. I still remember when drop got promoted to Senior Mod coming to me saying "Hey man, teach me the join area I wanna do more." This is a guy who NEVER gives up and ALWAYS pushes to either learn more or just take on more responsibilities. Currently Drop is our Head Administrator and he has molded the web ops department to where the team works hand in hand and it's a rolling machine. When I picked drop to take the forums I had high expectations and he's went and above all of those. Drop has also been SLAYING as Head of T&E. His staff is always 100% when running events and if we ever come across any hiccups he's the first person to step in to make sure everything gets handled accordingly. Drop has been working on planning more open events to try and pick up activity with other communities as well as our own and has been working with .coms event head to plan future events for both communities to have a great time. The fact that DropShot has been here a few years before me and he's still here to this day stepping up in multiple areas to ensure this community is running smoothly is amazing. This is a guy that without him this community just wouldn't be the same. I'm lucky I've gotten the pleasure of not only meeting him but working side by side with him and being able to call him one of my closest friends in this community hell even a brother. Thank you drop for all you do for not only me but the community as a whole. You definitely did earn your HoF and you have way more to come in the future. Keep slaying brother!

During my time in KSI, we haven’t worked in Clan Ops together, however, I can attest to the Department and Web Ops portions of KSI and how Drop continues to go above and beyond. In Web Ops, Drop is the Head Admin and has that fancy forums name to prove it. Before I even knew Drop I knew of him through the forums since he was a forums moderator. Since I’ve known him, he has always expressed interest in wanting to learn more. He has mastered all areas of Web Ops and due to his great work ethic was promoted to Head Admin in 2020. Drop does some fancy forum stuff with roles and he assigns/removes roles that Department Heads/Co-Heads post up in a very timely manner; usually within the hour. He is always readily available to answer any questions regarding the Join/Rejoin Section or GSM Area, and he also helps with forum IT stuff whenever possible. Drop has a well-deserved Web Ops-related award for his work: Forums Staff Of The Month. Drop has been Head of T&E since the end of June 2019. Since his promotion to Head of T&E, annual events and weekend warfares have never run smoother. I was promoted to Head of Productions literally a week after his promotion and have been working alongside him in Dept Ops for almost a year and a half now. I remember messaging him when I was a new Dept Head at about 6 or 7 am regarding weekend warfare sign ups and I received responses in no time - I was shocked that he replied so soon. He is very attentive when it comes to creating annual event schedules and always takes divisional input into consideration before any finalization. I can’t imagine an annual event running without Drop’s involvement. Through his hard work and dedication to Dept Ops he earned Department Head of the Year for 2019. Although I didn’t really get to know Drop during his time as a leader in Clan Ops, he has earned some notable awards on the forums: Divisional Hall Of Fame, Master Recruiter, Gen OTM: Divisional. Earning these awards is a huge accomplishment and to me means that he has excelled in Clan Ops as well. Let’s not forget that he is in the KSI Hall of Fame and is one of the few to earn their 7 in all three aspects of KSI! KSI wouldn't be where it is today without Drop's insight and leadership capabilities over the years.

Dropping Vote to Witness Ever wonder why annual events, weekend warefares, and any type gaming event the community puts on runs so smoothly T&E you know who the head is well that'd be Drop this man makes works tirelessly to ensure that not only his department runs smoothly but we as the community are having a hell of time participating in these events. Now I'm not apart of T&E except for the occasional Karoke contests and i didn't work with him in Clan Ops but I do work with him in Web Ops what he does for Web Ops is phenomenal whether its Join Area or GSM he's always available to lend a hand answer questions or brainstorm ideas on how to make an area better than what it was hes goes above and beyond the call of duty when it comes to the areas he's involved in and its not for recognition its for the members to ensure that their having that KSI experience honestly if Drop doesn't get this award maybe some Ban Hammers will be coming for you from me lol jk #ToxicMods but in all seriousness he deserves this award not because of who he is but for the fact that he deserves it PS never give him a 1 star rating

Having read through the other replies, I can’t help but agree that Drop deserves this award. He’s been in KSI longer than most, and his influence and contributions are a testimony to his dedication and commitment to the community. When I was still active within KSI, Drop was a leader who led by example. He took charge at Leadership Council meetings and made himself available for mentorship and conversations that would help grow better leaders around him and improve KSI for all members. He led T&E through a period of remarkable growth and consistency and he’s been a hallmark on the Forums, helping making community members’ online experiences fruitful and positive. Drop is a model leader and community member and he has long deserved this award. I will always be willing to go to bat for this man because of his high character and positive influence to KSI. KSI as its known wouldn’t exist without contributions and sacrifices from Drop, and to have that type of influence is rare and deserving of praise.

I'm also here to support you man. @Mr. DropShot I'm very surprised to see that you don't have OS2 already. When I was over him in Web ops he was always quick to respond to the game plan at hand. He was never afraid to call someone out who was in the wrong by holding them accountable. Most of the time when I brought something to the table that I thought needed to be talked about in the join area he would already know how to respond because he saw it. He always showed me respect in KSI and out which is a great attribute in itself. Just reached out to him today about something I had a question about and he responded in 5 minutes with his answer. Thank you for all your hardwork and dedication when I needed it the most. "That Admin Panel is pretty cool right" "#ToxicMods4Life (Most just say things but this is truth.)"

During my short time working with him, Kakashii has shown time and time again why he is in the position he is in. This man took over the LC unexpectedly, and hit the ground running. Under his leadership, the LC has made more progress during the last half of 2020 than I think anyone expected. When discussion of peace talks with Hydra came around, Kakashii always stayed calm and professional even though there was constant tension surrounding the topic. Although keeping everyone in line was no easy task, he still made it a point to hear everyone's questions, comments and concerns, while still working towards the overall forward progression of KSI as we know it. Every time the Leadership Council meets, Kakashii makes sure everyone feels welcome to bring their ideas to the table. He has played a large part in helping with scheduling for Annual Events, and always does his best to make sure all divisions are represented in every event. On top of everything he has done with the LC, Kakashii takes a chunk of time out of his day to work on graphics for members of the community as well. He is in no way required to do this, but when you have a leader like Kakashii, it is no surprise that he continues to go above and beyond in everything that he does. This man is more than deserving OS Level 2.

Athena is a leader that can engage anyone. She leads others to become the best leaders themselves, even if they aren't in our officer core. Whether she is out hunting for new members, retaining new members or engaging the Officer Core and 7's Staff, she continually leads and makes an impact on those around her. I am truly confident that Athena will play a large role in the future face of KSI and especially that of SL. Her determination, leadership, excitement and engagement will continue to impact our community well beyond her early days in KSI. @KSIxAthena is extremely deserving of this award, and I wish her all the best as she continues to blow past and achieve many more to come.

Where do I begin with DC? This man has played a vital role in many aspects of this community. He has been a Co-Founder for the last several months, was a co-head of AAP, is the current Head of Education, and was recently inducted into the SL Hall Of Fame. DC has done an amazing job with being there for his members and is the ideal person to talk to about anything regarding information within KSI. There is no doubt that this man deserves this award.

Round 3.. Count me in! Before i dive right into this, id like to also provide links to the other two times this stand up man has been nominated and witnessed for by MULTIPLE high ranking officials of this community, but sadly not given this award. as you can see there is some nearly 30 witness statements here on those two alone. So if possible id like all those to be put into the discussion when it comes that time. As Rogue has not only excelled and exceeded since those statements but has done nothing but persevere time and time again. Now, I believe this award has something to do with strife, grief, stress where most would throw in the towel or walk away correct? We all know Rogue by now. The guy never quits ever. As far as hardships in KSI and especially real life this man has had a REALLY ROUGH past 2 years. loosing family members, selling his home, personal problems out the wazoo (its not my story to tell so forgive lack of detail) but lets say most if not anyone i know who would go through such traumas would ultimately put KSI on the back burner or leave. Instead this man laced his boots a little tighter kept his head down on his work and continued to be one of the hardest workers in the room day after day week after week month after month and now year after year. Rogue is a friend to all and a massive mentor to many. Hes always cheerful, always fun and always willing to help you and everyone else be and do better! Hes given countless hours of prime dedication to this community over and over again. Never looking for something in return not even recognition. This man is selfless. I know Rogue on a personal level some could say and this guy has gone through the god damn ringer (forgive my french) this past entire year yet stayed focused on KSI and his duties pertaining to it. And didnt make an excuse for anything. This guy goes above and beyond his rank every. single. day. and its more then evident if you do some sniffing around. Ive witnessed Rogue take new officer who doesnt know jack and make them a POWERHOUSE within weeks. Making them wanting to be the best they can be with out a force of hand. His mentoring skills are unmatched, Me and my entire 7s staff are seeds of his hard work and dedication. He goes above and beyond for this community everyday even when he should be focusing on his own life and issues. I respect this man like no other, and in my eyes has deserved this award for a long time. If you take one look at the accomplishments, the dedication, the time invested, and the progress made by this one individual youd be dead wrong to think otherwise. Ive never scene Rogue stay from a challenge even if he was atrock bottom. THIS GUY BLEEDS KSI. Its time for him to receive this award.

What to say about KSI xATHENAx. So I recruited her and as soon as she joined she went straight into it and loved it. I taught her how to recruit and she became best recruiter only to Dc in my opinion. After that with the help of myself and her other two mentors, Rogue and N3WERA, she started doing game nights then soon became one of best Officers I’ve seen grace SL. I’ve been in for almost two years and I’ve seen officers come and go. I’ve seen gen’s do nothing, I’ve seen 7’s barley work but Athena she puts in work. she’s a captain I already know she would make a great gen let alone co founder. I normally don’t say stuff like that until I see them at that rank and I’m like ur doing good but I know like I’m seeing the future. she would be a great co founder just based on how she works and has continued to work since we started from dang near running Prestige SL. she recruited about 25% the other 75% have grown to love her and with her constant game nights. kinda hard not to get to know her plus she is great trainer I’m happy I recruited her and to she where she went and where she’s going to go. Proud she says I’m one of her three mentors.
