Trendies is phenomenal in a multitude of ways as a leader. He has created lasting relationships with leaders and divisions that at one point in time were considered impossible to actually form a relationship with as an outsider. Trendies does this by always remaining level-headed and calm in every scenario thrown at him, and I mean every scenario. He strives to do his best for the members of the divisions that he is over, while always remaining objective. He has been an influential leader of this community for a long time, he was even a Co-Division Leader in WD when I became Co-Founder to give you a time reference. Trendies did a lot for WI when it was still around and continued that trend with WD once the merge happened. He helped start a shift in momentum in that division which eventually led it to the position that it's in now with a strong and stable 7s staff, and a knowledgeable, hardworking, dedicated officers staff below them. Trendies is a pillar of this community and without a doubt in my mind I can say that he deserves this award for all that he has done for this community and it's members.

Tex has been an influential leader and member of the community for about 3 years now that is evident in the accolades and recognition she has gotten over the course of her career, some of which I will mention now. OTY's Co-Founder - 2016 Division Leader - 2017 Outstanding service Level 1 Other notable awards: LEAD 101 Graduate LEAD Mentor (Hard to achieve) In my time with working with Tex the one thing that I have noticed above all else is her commitment to her members and the leaders in the Divisions she oversees. She is a hands-on, hard-working, dedicated, knowledgeable leader, and I without her influence some of our divisions might not even be here. She's been a mentor and huge influence in the lives and careers of the leaders she works with on a day to day basis. Tex without a doubt is a shining example of what every leader should strive to become. She puts her members above all else including herself (even when sometimes that means myself and her have to 1v1 in an xbox party) and thats rare in anything in life. She is truly selfless and in doing so has helped establish an amazing atmosphere in her divisions and KSI. I'm thankful to have her as a Director, in all honesty she probably deserves OS 3 for all that she has done. Thanks Tex, KSI wouldn't be the same without you.

There's not much I can say about firemomma that hasn't been said already but I'll try my best. Firemomma inherited a division of fluff, inactivity and poorly trained officers and leadership. It was through the efforts of firemomma that DL began to repair itself with new leaders being trained, inactive members being fluffed and squad activities being reintroduced to DL after such a long time that there wasn't any. She has faced obstacle after obstacle and has never slowed down or given up. Reviving a nearly dead division is no easy feat, but firemomma with the help of prophecy and tex did just that, and that's why she deserves OS 1 and probably OS 2 as well. Thanks for taking the time to read my witness statement I hope it's helpful.

I've had the opportunity to work alongside DL for several months now. I've seen DL at it's absolute lowest and at it's best which I believe is right now. Prophecy has been a huge part of this transition by constantly being online for his members, becoming acting gen of squads that needed it (saving them in the process) and being the voice of reason whenever firemomma is away. Prophecy has done all he can to train and mentor those coming up behind him by helping in any way he can with workshops, meetings and events. In short, he's a valuable resource in DL and has undoubtedly earned OS lvl 1.

Leaders like RiiOT come around maybe once in several generations of KSI. He is constantly doing his best to improve both the forums in any way that he can, while always being there for the mods and senior mods under him to provide knowledge. RiiOT currently is the User Support Admin for the forums in this role he assists both the forums staff and the member base on technical issues ranging from a variety of difficulty and time consumption yet he always has the time to do whatever is asked of him. The simple truth is from my sphere of KSI it's hard to quite grasp the magnitude of what he does, even with my Senior Mod access on the forums; but one thing is certain, without RiiOT this website wouldn't run at the capacity and success that it is. RiiOT is also currently running the AAP. Taking the department to new heights with new policies being implemented, staff being hired, and awards being created. RiiOT is a true representation of what a leader here should be and I hope you all consider not only the amount of statements but who is saying them. All of these people have been significantly impacted by him and his presence here. In closing, I want emphasize the importance of his role here, he is literally one of the most valuable assets in leadership we have. Over his years of service to KSI and it's members he's influenced hundreds if not thousands of people. RiiOT truly has earned this award 10 times over and i hope you all agree.

Every time i'm with DW I always see venum either in the party when i join, or shortly in it after. He is extremely dedicated to his members and DW, doing all that he can to be supportive of them. He's knowledgeable, loyal, and focused on one goal which is to improve DW. I don't always see nominations when they go up but I have no doubt in my mind that he deserves this award for all that he does. I'm not able to attest to specifics because I don't work with DW or any division enough at my current rank to know specifics so I guess this is more of a character/what I've seen from my perspective (as far away as it might be lol) but Venum is for sure one of the bright leaders of this community and I'm anticipating great things from him. I know this witness isn't super fact-based but I hope you all take what you can from the nomination to use for his OS, he's a great leader I just cant do him the justice that his director or division could.

I can verify that Swagg meets the requirements for both awards. Obviously I wasn’t his co founder at the time of these achievements, but through what I have witnessed 1st hand and heard 2nd hand from other leaders he has definitely met these requirements. Sadly I’m the only one that can confirm these claims as fact as no other leaders from that time in FI are still around.

I can witness for akame as well. I met akame back in 2016 when I was a General. He struck me as a bit of an odd guy that liked to talk a lot (a lot a lot) but after about 10 minutes of the party I started hearing the higher ups in the party brag on him regarding how well LS was doing. Akame and LS had just won spirit week and a huge factor in that was akame himself. Akame did an awful lot for LS and this is what I know from that time that I can attest to him achieving. 1. Leading LS to victory after a long hard fought week of forum posts, social media pushes, and tournaments. 2. Bringing LS back from a rough patch that was there before and instituting a lot of the leaders you see now. 3. Creating a structure for gamenights and workshops (things that weren’t really there before). Now what I’ve seen since his re-recruitment. Akame came back and I immediately noticed how humble, driven, and willing to learn he was. Akame seemed to not only want to move back up, but to completely re-immerse himself back into KSI, and he did. He rose up the ranks very quickly to get to where he is now and I can confidently say that without akame LS would not be where it is today. What I can attest to regarding akame and his return. 1. Working with Hebrew to rebuild and reshape LS. (Something they should both be very proud of) 2. Continuing to be involved in all things that he can including: Join mod, departments, and others I definitely forgot. 3. Continuing to improve his leaders below him. 4. Getting a well trained 7s staff below him that are able to meet the div needs and assist in operation. 5. Way way way way more but I either haven’t seen it or am definitely forgetting. In short he’s a phenomenal leader and is nothing short of amazing at what he does. He definitely has earned this award twice over and in my opinion is on his way to OS lvl 3 soon.

Swagg was my Division Leader from the time that I was first recruited into FI, to the day he was promoted to director and I became FI's Division Leader. The one thing I can say about Swagg is that he is one of the most happy, outgoing, and motivated people I have ever met. Swagg has gone above and beyond the KSI call of duty in more ways than I can express and did this all while being an enlisted member of the US Army. Swagg was always there for me when I was coming up the ranks for advice and suggestions on being a better leader. Swagg has definitely earned OS1 and probably OS2 as well.

Lets go KSI

My first interaction with havoc was back in 2016 when I was a captain. He was hosting that nights Weekend Warfare and was going over the rules to myself and all of the other participants. After that nights weekend warfare was over and my team got destroyed, I remember having a conversation with Havoc about T&E. I had never been in a department at that time and was curious to know more. Havoc walked me through in detail what the department was about and even suggested I apply next time applications are up. Then, he vanished. But that always left a lasting impact on me, and it was the first time I had met someone so high up. (he was a Senior Director at the time.) From then on I made it a priority to join a department, and eventually joined T&E. Now as for when Havoc came back. At first, I was a little skeptical. Leaders always seem to be these almost Deity-like figures when you first meet them at that low of a rank and I had just become used to most of the past leaders being somewhat of a disappointment, Havoc is not one of those leaders. Ever since he was re-recruited, he has been nothing short of phenomenal in every sense of the word. He helped Gary with rebuilding DW, and has since become a very important part of clan ops in another way through HR. Havoc is a leader who has "it", its hard to describe the "it" factor but he has it. I'm looking forward to a long KSI road ahead with him, and I'm looking forward to what else he can do for DW in the future.

KSI VeRiiTaS 7 http://www.ksiforums.org/profile/35485-veriitas-7/ Forum Addict I just recently hit my 1,000th post on the forums.

Since we always talk about quality over quantity as far as witnesses go I hope the aap will look at this post and all that I am about to say and consider the full depth of what true has done for this community. True has been a very involved member of KSI since before I was even around. She has done many things but tobviously I can only attest to what I’ve seen and been here to witness, I will try to keep this as brief as possible but keep in mind it’s alot. I first met true when she took over DM after mighty, bandit, and bubbles left. DM was hit hard by those events and for awhile a lot of us thought DM was going to shut down. True did not have this attitude, and decided she was going to try to save DM. A goal in which she eventually accomplished. True did all of this almost by herself, obviously she had the help of wicked, but she had to mentor and train everyone below her to maintain the division. That feat in itself deserves OS lvl 2, but I’m not done yet. True also became a successful director and senior director and made a lot of important decisions that helped shape what we are now currently striving to achieve in clan ops today. She also took over news after impy was promoted and through tough times has still managed to make sure articles get posted and the site is being moderated. She also for a long time was a very active moderator reaching senior mod and being very influential on the forums. True has done a lot of this community and for her not to be eligible for OS lvl 2 means that 99% of the community isn’t eligible. She deserves this award for everything she has done and continues to do for KSI.
