KSI has History, be it with games, new consoles or time with friends and having a laugh or a rage out over cheating campers....but there's always been something people take for granted, The People who make it. The things KSI have given each of the people who make it long enough to learn are pure and simpl. Friends and family.
Im not going to list off rankings that got me and others into dark places and out of those places back into the light is because of one simple thing, THE MEMBERS.
I am not Flawless nor will I ever claim to be, when I joined KSI back in 2010, it was because I was bored and a friend of mine asked me simple question want to come join this and play games with people? I have been a member of KSI nearly 13 years playing with people, seeing people come and go learning and growing or just chilling out with people. People who have known me during that time period have known me mostly as easily angered drunken jackass.
I have been sober for 5 years and counting...not because of therapy or peer pressure But because of the group of Friends I made over the years who have supported me and kicked me in the butt when its been needed told me that they know I can do better and be better even if its just 1 step at a time.
My greatest personal achievement in KSI to this day isnt making A Squad-split or a Division-split or making it to the Board of Directors...it's a far more simple thing...asking for help even when its something as simple as a shoulder to cry on.
KSI isnt made by awards or donations its the Astounding people Inside it....even some of the old age guys like KSI fuzzymeep 7, KSI Chaos 7, KSI Greg 7, KSI QueenJess7, KSI Venum 7, KSI Swag77. Those are to name a few of the friends who have seen me in some of the darkest places.
My choice to want to return to being more active is because I keep seeing people who think its so easy to Run KSI and make thier own clans using things they take from here, along with seeing friends hurting trying to hold everything together and not ask for help, even after 10 years and counting I know that if i need somebody who knows how bad things can be I know who i can turn to for advice or even a kick in the butt when needed......
KSI has its foundations in Supporting and being social with each other....like it or not we're all family maybe not by blood but we are.
When you know somebody in your family is hurting the most important thing is quite simply this, SUPPORT.
