Award: Outstanding Service Level 1
Reason: Back in October of 2014, I got a mass recruiting message from Khaleesi. I thought hey, KSI couldn't be that bad. I'd had some negative experiences with gaming communities already so I figured I was just playing the odds at that point. I joined Crysis WI and was immediately welcomed into a new family. About a month later, Crysis split and KSI Hatter 7 founded Abaddon WI. (That's right WD, your Abaddon) I was one of the members who transitioned over to the baby squad with Hatter. Over the next year, this young lady became both a mentor to me and one of my best friends - in and out of the community. She was inspiring, fun and always ready to tackle a challenge. Rising up to the rank of Co-Founder, Hatter helped shape WI into an awesome division. She was heavily involved in recruiting, managed multiple competitive teams and trained and mentored countless officers across the division. She eventually stepped down and left KSI for a time to devote attention to her family and personal goals.
A couple years down the road, I finally convinced Hatter to submit a rejoin app. She joined LS and started getting back in touch with the community. I'd been struggling for a while, indirectly forced to lead and manage a squad as a Lieutenant and Captain. Hatter, along with a supportive 7 staff, was the only reason I was able to hang in there and continue to work as an officer in Trocity. After I transferred to Midgard, Hatter immediately took the reigns in Trocity and continued to pour her efforts into the squad. Later on once the General spot was vacant, she assumed the role she'd already been fulfilling 100%.
Hatter has contributed much as a former member of the History Department and a current member of the News Department. She's written numerous articles and covered many KSI community events. She is a member of the Community Development Committee, has participated in the LS Head Hunters Team and has been a cornerstone of wisdom and loyalty in Last Strike since she joined. She's done all of this while juggling an extremely busy personal life. Hatter is a multi-squad splitter, a Grifball junkie, a Warlock by trade and a rockstar Mom of 3. If you get a minute, add her to your friends list. There's no one who will ever have your back more or be a better friend when you need it.
KSI Hatter 7 has been an invaluable member of the KSI community. She is a shining example of what I think we all strive to be as a person. There is no doubt in my mind that she more than deserves Outstanding Service Level 1.
