Name: KSI Dropshot 7 Link to Forums Account: @Mr. DropShot Award-/-Achievement: Outstanding Service lvl. 2 Reason-/-Evidence: Speaking from being around Drop for literal YEARS we have worked together, it's a crime that this man doesn't have OS lvl 2 already. He has been around for most of a decade, and he has contributed In several areas of the community, making his way to earning a "7" in each possible way, clan ops, web ops and dept ops. He was a great resource for the Courts, as the guy has stayed a Judge since like 2013 (correct me if I'm off on that Drop). Every time we had new hires or something to work through, it was like having a Court encyclopedia because he was there for all of it. As Department Head of T&E, maybe people don't know about all of the time and effort put into making these annual events what they are. He does have a support staff, but HE is a large reason as to why the events are ready to go, year after year, without any real hitch. I promise it will be noticed when he hangs up that hat. Now he is also Head Admin, and although I'm no longer a web ops member, he still comes through clutch every time I have had an issue I can't fix myself with the forums. He is readily available, and is WILLING which hasn't always been the case with Admin Staff. I'll let other witnesses attest to his time in clan ops, as we never worked in the same divisions at the same time, but there is no reason based off of his other efforts alone he should not have OS lvl. 2

I Originally met DropShot when i were the Div Leader of LS and he had just been promoted to Cofounder and he was still very new to the leadership role but you could tell straight away that this guy was going places, no matter what came his way he took it in his stride and kept pushing forward. Fast forward a few months and i had joined T&E and there Drop was again a staff member just like myself and it was the first time i had gotten the chance to work with him in any sort of capacity, it was always enjoyable hosting events with Drop as we always managed to communicate effectively and no matter what the event was we had a plan set out such as who was sending messages, who was setting the rules and picking the maps for the event and then who would be hosting the captains lobby to explain the event and the rules of the event and it would always run as smooth as possible with very few hinderances, it was then that i truly knew what type of person and leader that DropShot is. He is a no nonsense guy but always emphasises the main [part of this community and that is FUN. He makes sure everyone is enjoying their time in the event and takes whatever feedback he can to constantly improve things. Fast forward another few months to spirit week (Hell week in T&E) and both myself and drop were promoted to senior T&E staff and thiis man had clearly made his impression on the department head at the time (KSI Gambit 7) and the CDM at the time (KSI Scotland 7) and was promoted to department head just 2 weeks after that, upon taking on the whole department he quickly got things in place that he knew the department needed (an improved structure and retraining of the current staff members) and since then he has run the department that effectively that even when it comes to annual events there is few to no issues that arise. Aswell as running T&E this man ran a division and was also a Forums moderator and he unfortunately made the decision to shut down his home division with the senior leadership of the community but never the less he persevered and kept doing what he does best and making sure everyone is happy and does what is best for themselves and put all his attention into his department and Web ops responsibilities and it is testament to his ability that he has progressed from forums moderator to senior forums moderator to head admin for the forums with his meticulousness for organisation and order. i will finish this statement off by saying that if it wasnt for KSI DropShot 7 becoming a great friend of mine and helping me find purpose in the community ahain i would have most likely left the community a long time ago and without a shadow of a doubt dropshot doesnt just deserve OS level 2 but he deserves so much more for the sweat, blood and tears he has put into this amazing community over his long and arduous 7 year journey in KSI.

I know that I could give at least a 15 page essay on why KSI Rogue 7 is more than deserving of this award, but I won't make you all read that. So, I will settle with this. I have known Rogue now for over a year and a half. In that time, I have watched this man go through so many difficulties and yet he is still here. I remember when he was my General in imperial. Although he and I did not know much about each other during that time, I still remember the few conversations that we had. Once I became an officer again about 4 months later, this man was there to provide his input and guidance. As a general, Rogue has set apart time to speak with me and help me work through things. I do not believe that I have ever seen Rogue not make time to meet with his members. In the years that he has been in this community, he has only taken time to himself for a few days twice! There have been many things that have gone on in his real life with loosing family(in different kinds of ways), with work, and many others things that have gone wrong. In regards to the community, Rogue has put his toes in many areas of the community. Education, AAP, Leadership Council, and a Director. He has helped multiple squads and divisions grow and become great. I do not believe that there is no other person that is deserving of this award more than KSI Rogue 7. He is selfless, hard working, devoted, a gigantic pool of knowledge, and the list goes on and on. He is well deserving of this award. Love ya brother! @KSI Rogue 7

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.)"

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.

Name: KSI Dropshot 7 Link to Forums Account: @Mr. DropShot Award-/-Achievement: Outstanding Service lvl. 2 Reason-/-Evidence: I am surprised that KSI Dropshot 7 does not have his OS2 already with all he does for the good of KSI. Personally I witnessed him going above and beyond just in the last Turkey Bowl. With all the stuff DM went through during that time we were excited to be a real part of KSI as a whole. It might sound weird but our members wanted to be heard and show that DM was still breathing. The challenge poll was their answer. As many of our members got on to vote they found themselves not able to get on forums due to an email issue. Dropshot, no matter what time of day or night was there to save us. All I had to do was shoot him a message and within 5 minutes the member was taken care of and voting. I started feeling guilty for the amount of messages I was sending but Dropshot always made it seem like it was absolutely no big deal. He definitely went above and beyond to help DM during a tough tough time.

Dropshot is hands down one of the backbones that holds KSI together. his time and experience has molded dropshot into a human computer when it comes to KSI operations. He is somebody if you go to with questions, he will give you the answer, and if for some oddball reason he doesnt know, he can find somebody who does in an instant. He is a die hard, and is well respected by just about everyone in KSI who know his name. He always looks to make KSI events the most enjoyable for its members, so that people come back for more. The amount of time and effort and planning he puts into whatever he does, is exceptional, and not very many people can do his job, but he does it so well. Dropshot is without a doubt in my mind, well deserving if this award. Keep it up big dawg!

Dropshot is someone that i've looked up to for a while now, I met him and worked with him when he was still a senior forums mod, and since then he has shown time and time again that he is a great leader. He's always professional when dealing with situations and tries to help when there's ever a question in the chat, and likes to crack a joke a few times to help ease the atmosphere which makes working a lot easier. He is also one of the few leaders willing to speak his mind and saying how it is, which is something that helps things move faster and helps out everyone in the end. Dropshot is an amazing leader and proves to be, and him being the head admin shows that, with helping every single day. He deserves this OS and should already have OS 3 months ago.
