I’ll chime in and witness for @KSI xKing 77 I’ve known King since he rejoined back into LW in 2015-2016, somewhere around there. I was General over Samurai LW and soon became his Co-Founder while he was in either Beowulf or Xena. (Speaking on my past with King) Regardless, from the moment I met King, he was always a person that had the drive and intuition to be great, no matter what obstacles he faced. Speaking from experience and my point of view, homie has been through a lot of tough times. Whether it was a squad potentially closing down, a division closing down, or even a blacklisted/security risked community poaching and threatening members, King was always positive and kept a level head when dealing with these situations. With doing all of that, plus juggling his own personal life issues as well as a very heavy work schedule, he always made time. (Speaking on Recent Times with King) As of recent, linked back up with King when I rejoined back a couple years ago. At the time, we were dealing with communities such as J2H, TSB, and the other Hydra affiliates as threats. King was a key piece in ensure the security of our members on the Forums. He did his research, did his work, and always was ready to stand up for what he felt was right. That right there in itself, shows me a Die-Hard for this community. He has given his all and then some and look where it has gotten him, CEO of KSI. Even through all the BS thrown his way internally in the community and outside of the community, he persevered and pushed through with a positive outlook. I’m proud to call King a friend, a mentor, and most importantly a role model for this community. #ToxicMods

While I can't speak on King's past, I'll definitely testify based on my experience with him. King came into DM as acting Director after the disbanding of Cruelty and Havoc, Hellborn leaving to help form a new division, and leadership within the division being stretched pretty thin. One thing I can say about him is he was always fair, and viewed nearly any situation as a teachable moment. Towards the tail end of DM's existence, tempers were flaring amongst leadership, mainly due to trying to get two squads prepared for a split. When I took over as General for Wrath, I was the only officer. My co-founder and Div Lead were almost non-existent, as they were also acting gens of the aforementioned squads being prepared for a split. I had an 80 member squad as a staff of one, and had to hit the ground running trying to find potential officers. King was in my chats every day checking up on me, the squad, welcoming new members, and offering to help in any way that he could. Not only as an acting director, but also as the CEO. He wasn't obligated to do any of that, but he did. Fast forward a couple of week...I now have a foundation for an officer staff, with SSGTs trained up, one going to LT, handling all of the training and promotions, throwing in new recruits when possible, and holding the squad together the best I could. Somehow I found myself in trouble, and I'm called into a meeting for not asking permission to promote SSGTs and LTs. King came in, grabbed hold of the party, and handled it diplomatically. He pointed out the err of my ways, the err of their's, and made it clear that things needed to change. While he acknowledged that I had every right to be angry and irritated, and mostly did the right thing, he gave me solid advice on what I needed to do, and how I could get there. That moment really changed my perspective on senior leadership, because truth be told, I was really irritated with mine at the time. If it weren't for that meeting and our talk, Wrath may have collapsed with the rest of DM. While this may not serve as the best example of a witness statement for Die Hard, I believe it really speaks to the character of KSI xKing77, and how much he truly cares about this community. The man has my eternal respect and gratitude, and deserves nothing but the best.

I will be dropping my vote to witness for King King was responsible for taking Samurai LW a dying squad into a division merge and building up and mentoring a amazing officer staff. Many don't stick around to be Gen of a dying squad, but King isn't many. He knows what it takes to build something to excellency. A squad of probably 25 members turned into a squad spilt. King was what held DW together in my eyes, and it was tough without him. King was running the division underneath a division leader who was turning down director promotions, which would extremely be frustrating for someone underneath him who is actually running the division, while the other is just sitting there basically. However on the brink of leaving King stuck around and kept doing what he was doing. King stayed where many would have just left. Later down the line however, King was basically stabbed in the back and kicked out of DW, by this "division leader," who didn't like how King was doing things, even though in my eyes and many others King was doing the right things to keep DW alive and active. King was just an honest guy. However King was given a transfer to ES, a division at the time which wasn't doing so well. King was forcefully transferred out of a division that was extremely active mainly because of him to a division that wasn't doing as good. King is a Die Hard to KSI, because of his resiliency in all these situations I have explained. There are many members and leaders that would leave at the first sign of trouble, but not King. Also realize that King was one of the last to receive the award Most Outstanding, and he received this award months after he had to deal with moving divisions, because he continued to build a name for himself even in the tough times and turned ES into a great division at the time. King turned these daily issues and instances of strife into success. A Member that has gone through multiple instances of strife and plagued by daily issues in KSI and persevered onwards where one would normally give up and walk away, but has come through and continued their dedication to KSI and not given into the pressure. -Member must still be in KSI- KING IS A DIE HARD !!!!!!!!!!
