Emmy The Boss

Name/Gamertag: KSI Emmy Rank (If applicable): 1st CPT, Pride GZ Time spent on the forums (Daily): varying from a few minutes to an hour or more; constantly checking out what's happening throughout the day, more time when things are happening/need to be done. Experience and Time in KSI: I've been in KSI for about 1 year 3 months, I've been an officer for 8-9 months, and a member of the T&E staff for half a year or so. Skype (Required to be on Staff): Margareta.Kling (if you find a Swedish girl, with a screen name 'Emmy', that's me. Apparently I'm not the only one with my Skype name) Why you feel you should be picked to join the AAP and what can you provide for the department? (Please provide details): I feel that the AAP is a great program. Acknowledging the achievements of everyone around me is a very strong motivational tool, I've found. That's were my interest stems; being a member would allow me to be a part of giving credit to all the wonderful members we have in this community. As for what I can bring to the table, I do work hard at all my commitments, I am willing to dedicate whatever time and dedication you guys need, and I am very passionate regarding helping and acknowledging the people around me. I do consider myself fair and unbiased, and this is one of the traits that we do exercise as members of T&E and hosts for tournaments. I do believe that I have gained valuable experience during my time as an officer, especially given the usually very small officers staff we have had. Overall, I'm not good at telling you that I'm great at anything or the person for a job, but I try my best. I am sure you will have more experienced or skilled applicants, but I am happy to have the opportunity to apply to this program. The work you put in is crucial for KSI!

Name: KSI Ethre, Pride (GEN) GZ Link to Forums Account: http://www.ksiforums.org/user/10818-ethre/ Award-/-Achievement: Committed Reason-/-Evidence: Ethre has been in KSI with a KSI Gamer tag for more than a year. Joined in May 2013, and changed his name from the beginning. I'm sure that any of the leaders above him at that time will witness for this award

Division Leader KSI Oni 7 - Div Leader Ground Zero Forums: http://www.ksiforums.org/user/8965-brienne-of-tarth/ Reason why they deserve this: Oni is amazingly knowledgeable, she is amazingly dedicated and motivated, and keeps stepping up her game week after week. She carries out her duties as a div leader over GZ excellently, alongside her duties as a forums mod etc. She is also never afraid to get hands on and a little dirty if anyone needs her help, and involving herself on a personal level with all of our members, at any time of the day, regardless of what time zone we are in. She will start out helping with anything in our two European squads, playing with us, giving out advise and whats not, and through the night get with the other, American based squads, despite being in Europe herself. She selflessly tries to ensure that while we all do our best, we don't burn ourselves out, and is not beyond telling me to go to bed when it's too late in the night for me to keep doing KSI stuff, but not going away herself. Her motivation, dedication and crazy hours she puts in together with her vast knowledge makes her an excellent Div leader despite the relatively short time she has held the position, and she is transforming GZ from the foundation up to make us all stronger. Co-founder KSI ZOMBYGaL 7 - Co-founder GZ (Pride, Valiant, Justice, Unity) Forums: http://www.ksiforums.org/user/12458-ksi-zombygal-7/ Reason why they deserve this: Zomby is the longest standing co-fo GZ has, and she works tirelessly to help out her squads and anyone else in the division as well. She is ALWAYS there for us, even if she herself is American she's in charge of our two European squads, and from our view you can't tell she's from a different time zone. She has been so consistent, and so dedicated, it is an honour to have her as my co-founder. She is extremely knowledgeable and will always help any member out with a question or an issue, and is ready to step in whenever she needs to. She has been acting gen more times than we can count, and still is there a 150% for everyone else as well. She is probably the most selfless and dedicated person in GZ right now, and she more than deserves this award, and one of the best role models I as an officer could have. Member of the Month KSI Spaghetti - 3rd Lieutenant, Echo, Last Strike Forums: http://www.ksiforums.org/user/21735-ksi-tiberium/ Reason why they deserve this: Spaghetti, spaghetti, spaghetti. It is hard to know where to start with this guy. This is a guy that exemplifies what KSI is all about. He is well knowledged in all things KSI that he needs, as well as a lot of things you may not need. He has a great strength to him, always staying strong and keeping up his work without wavering, and lending that strenght to others when they need it. He also had the strenght to leave his "safe" home squad and division and follow our founder when the founder was promoted to co-division leader in a different division, and help out a new squad in a new division. He has the integrity of a potentially great officer, and will always call things as he sees them, for the best of his squad and division, regardless of whether it has implications for him personally. He stands true to the ideals of KSI very well. But he also brings a different, but equally important aspect to us all. He reminds us of why we are here. He has fun, he shares his fun and he'll always make you smile on even the greyest of days. He will send out silly messages and terrible jokes, and they become a high point of the day for all who receives them, be it a recruit or a division leader. He will bring fun to this community, he will stay strong in his values and he will be a great and loyal friend to anyone who wants that. And what more can we ask for in a member of KSI? To me, he's the perfect example, and I hope that everyone will agree with me. And to Oni, Zomby and Spaghetti, if you read this. You inspire me every day, and give me the strength to work my hardest for my squad and my division. You guys have so much motivation, and you guys show that we're all a family, regardless of where in the world we live, regardless of what squad we're currently in, or even what division we're currently in. I'm proud to have as amazing examples and role models to follow.

KSI Sinister 7 is one of the most knowledgeable, hardworking and motivated members I have seen here in KSI. I believe Sinister goes above and beyond what he needs to do as a Founder, always finding time to listen to any small thing or concern, trying to get to know all of our new recruits, and most of all he motivates us all to go above and beyond our own abilities as people and as officers in the squad and division. Sinister has been doing this continuously from the moment I first met him as a recruit in his squad up until now when he is the founder of GZ. He pours his heart and soul, his dedication and hard work out for this division and community, and is always there regardless of who or when he is reached out to. As a captain, I could not find a more inspirational figure to follow, and I hope my words give you some insight to how the squads of his division look up to this member. Thank you

Co-Division Leader - KSI Oni 7 - Ground Zero/GZ Link to forums account - http://www.ksiforums.org/user/8965-brienne-of-tarth/ Reasoning why they deserve this - With a change in leadership of GZ and the loss of our Division leader, Oni has stepped up her already great game, involving herself in every squad and officers staff throughout GZ, creating and sharing a new vision for GZ. Among the things she has introduced is a massive fluff removal, and giving support to us all throughout that process, and making sure that all officers have the same training and knowledge in all squads, by launching a training program with division wide officers workshops. Throughout this time of change, she makes sure that we're all comfortable with the ongoing changes, that we don't forget to have fun while we do this, and she embodies the GZ spirit we have. All the work she has done lately is making GZ stronger, more active and better than before, and it's an enormous task she has taken on, while still keeping up with her co-div duties. Founder - KSI Sinister 7 - Ground Zero/GZ Link to forums account - http://www.ksiforums.org/user/8993-sinister-7/ Reasoning why they deserve this - It is hard to know where to begin with Sinister. He has incredible knowledge, is always there to help anyone with anything and performs his duties with excellency. But that is not what is so remarkable about him. He does all this, and stays connected with all our members, with a calmness and kindness you seldom meet, and there are few more motivational people than Sinister. I don't know if I've ever met anyone that would be more motivational. And these qualities are much needed in the time of great change that GZ is currently ongoing. We are very lucky to have Sinister there to help us stay motivated and want to exceed the goals we have. Co-Founder - KSI ZOMBYGaL 7 - Pride, Valiant, Justice, Ground Zero/GZ Link to forums account - http://www.ksiforums.org/user/12458-ksi-zombygal-7/ Reasoning why they deserve this - In the leadership of GZ we have some truly remarkable people. We have people that are incredibly knowledgeable or motivational, but none is as dedicated and hardworking as Zombie. Zombie is obviously incredibly knowledgeable as well, and she sets a remarkable example for us all, but it is her hard work and dedication that stands out the most. There is none that is online as much, there is none that lends as much help to her fellow members and leaders as Zombie, and it is amazing that she has the energy to do all this. She works as hard regardless of health or sickness, or if she is having a bad day, and she keeps up and plays with all her squads in their own time zone, despite living in another time zone herself, and she does this not once or twice, but every single day. A greater role model to look up to will be hard to find. General - KSI Ethre - Pride GZ Link to forums account - http://www.ksiforums.org/user/10818-ksi-ethre/ Reasoning why the deserve this - Pride is an amazing squad, that started to decline last year, with dropping numbers and activity. We are currently in the process of a massive fluff removal, and our numbers will temporarily go down quite drastically, but we have already seen that the members that stay are getting more active and involved, and the officers are all stepping up their game, and none of this would be possible without our General. Ethre is always there to deal with issues and help us out, regardless of what the issue is or what time of the day it is. He is incredibly knowledgeable, he is hard working, and he sets a great attitude for the squad. He keeps the squad going, and his motivation makes all of us want to do better and be better. The squad would not be rising and getting stronger the way we are without Ethre. Because the squad is getting stronger and better every day, even if our numbers may be low for the time being, and it is amazing to see that Ethre has gotten us all turned around the right way again. Member - KSI Legend95 - Staff Sergeant in Pride, GZ Link to forums account - http://www.ksiforums.org/user/14612-ksi-legend95/ Reason why they deserve this - KSI Legend95 is one of the most knowledgeable members we have in our squad, and despite his rank being a SSGT for the time being, the time, effort and responsibilities he takes on matches that of any other officer we have regardless of rank, and I couldn't ask for better help from an officer than the help and support that he gives, both with directly squad related things, but also if any of us have a bad day, feel down and need some cheering up, Legend is there with the knowledge, and a joke or silly memes, and it makes everything a little easier in the day to day routines in the squad. All the above nominees have done an outstanding job in their respective ranks the past month, but I also think that another reason why the jobs they are so amazing is the fact that all our leaders are very much in tune and helpful for each other. The team work and spirit of GZ allows for great leaders to be born, and the great leaders we have makes that spirit grow and spread all the time. And that, the cooperation, knowledge and dedication of all these leaders set great examples for us all.

Division Leader Gamertag (Rank - Division/Squad) - KSI Cannibal 7 (Ground Zero Division leader) Link to forums account - http://www.ksiforums.org/user/4492-cannibal/ Reasoning why they deserve this - KSI Cannibal 7 is the awesome division leader, and while he's busy IRL he's still here for the division and squads, not only doing his job well, but also going the extra mile to promote the awesome spirit we have in GZ. Co-Division Leader Gamertag (Rank - Division/Squad) - KSI Oni 7 (Ground Zero Co-division leader) Link to forums account - http://www.ksiforums.org/user/8965-brienne-of-tarth/ Reasoning why they deserve this - KSI Oni 7 is always knowledgeable, great at her job as a co-division leader, and ready to help even in small issues if needed. She brings all this to all our members, and she's always doing this while promoting a fun environment with a joke and some care to us all. Founder Gamertag (Rank - Division/Squad) - KSI Sinister 7 (Ground Zero Founder) Link to forums account - http://www.ksiforums.org/user/8993-sinister-7/ Reasoning why they deserve this - KSI Sinister 7, he's the more than awesome Founder of GZ. We have all heard before about his hard work and knowledge, but what's so special about Sinister is his spirit and motivation. He enjoys this so much, and this shines through to anyone who meets him, and keeps us all motivated to go beyond ourselves and our goals! Co-Founder Gamertag (Rank - Division/Squad) - KSI ZOMBYGaL 7 (Ground Zero Co-founder - Justice, Pride, Valiant) Link to forums account - http://www.ksiforums.org/user/12458-melanie-puzzo/ Reasoning why they deserve this - KSI ZOMBYGaL 7 is one of the most hard-working members I have seen around! She goes beyond her job as a co-founder, and is always there when we need her, or just to play with us in our games nights. There hardly goes a day by without us seeing her in Pride's and/or Valiant's games nights, and this is even more impressive when you think of the fact that while she is from the US, both Pride and Valiant (two of her three squads) are European/UK-based squads. Regardless of how she's feeling, or how hungry she gets, she takes the time to help us and kick back to have fun with us, and we can ask no more! General Gamertag (Rank - Division/Squad) - KSI Ethre ( Ground Zero - General of Pride) Link to forums account - http://www.ksiforums.org/user/10818-ethre/ Reasoning why the deserve this - KSI Ethre is in charge of Pride, a squad that is great, and has great potential, but is struggling to grow at the moment. We have started to move forward however, and this would not be possible without the dedication and hard work of Ethre. He is always there to help us out, train and inspire us all, regardless of rank and regardless of whether he's actually on the Xbox or not. I love Pride, and all the spirit that we have hidden in the squad, and there is no one that represents this better than Ethre! All of you guys, if you see this, deserve the recognition. You all inspire me every day to push, grow and do better, as a member and as an officer in the best squad and division of KSI (in my opinion anyways )! So thank you, and keep up the amazing job you're all doing

Founder KSI Sinister 7, Founder Ground Zero http://www.ksiforums.org/user/8993-sinister-7/ Reasoning why they deserve this - Sinister is the great Founder of GZ, that fulfills and exeeds what any of us could ask for; he is always up to help anyone, regardless of it that is training or issues within the squads to just wanting to chat and play for a while, taking time for each and everyone of us. Besides all of this, he is also an absolute source of inspiration, and he makes us all want to exceed our goals even during the harder times we face every now and then! Co-Founder KSI ZOMBYGaL 7, Co-FOunder Ground Zero http://www.ksiforums.org/user/12458-melanie-puzzo/ Reasoning why they deserve this - Zomby is a great co-fo, and makes time for all of the squads in GZ. Despite being acting general and handling all the issues that arise every day, she makes time to come to our meetings and games nights, and to make sure that everyone feels happy and included, and it is always a blast when she drops by! She is a great Co-Fo and completely deserving of some recognition from us all General KSI Ethre, General, Pride GZ http://www.ksiforums.org/user/10818-ethre/ Reasoning why they deserve this - Ethre has been a great leader and General in Pride for a while now, and has taken Pride from a very hard place, with declining activity and members, as well as issues with leadership etc, to a great squad, that is getting to our feet now, and his dedication during this time has been inspiring, and inspired the current officers of Pride. Seeing how Pride declined so rapidly was heart-breaking, and I'm therefore very greatful for the work Ethre has put in to change this and get us back towards the great shape Pride was in last summer. And for this, I think he is trully deserving of some attention and recognition! Regardless of whether these guys get awarded or not, I want to send huge props to them, for the great work and inspiration they are in GZ!
