Badfur

Though I am not a Senior Director, I would like to offer my thoughts, having been around in KSI for quite some time, with as much combined experience as some of the seniors. Jezrien is good. He learns quickly, is eager and able to assist other members, and has done an admirable job in any position he's in. I've seen several amazing members rise up from the people I have mentored; some of them have inspired their fellows, one person impacted KSI in such a way that a few remember him now, and the mess he caused. Jezrien, however, has taken what he knows, and has gone further with it. He's a fantastic leader, and, perhaps most importantly, he knows what it is like to be at the bottom of the totem pole. Many people, the higher they rise, the more they forget what it's like to be at the bottom, and their leadership suffers because of it. I've seen him rise, fall, and rise back up again, stronger each time, making his division stronger in the process. He's gained friends, mentored and recruited plenty of members, and has done more for his division than anyone that I've seen in quite some time. That said, it doesn't stop there. Jezrien has recently joined the News Team, and has shown an excellent ability to not only write well, but to edit. At the moment, he has multiple articles he's editing with a high degree of quality, in addition to clan ops duties. He has done much for KSI, and though everyone may not have a chance to see him perform, it is of my opinion that we are a better community because Jezrien is here, and through the effort he has put in to this community, I see no reason he should be denied Outstanding Service level 3.

I would like to propose a change but also a new award or two. First, the change. At the moment, under awards we have News Member of the Month / Year. These refer to writers, the name should be changed to News Writer of the Month / Year. A lot of time and effort goes into making the News Team run. There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes, and if it weren't for the efforts of the News Team's leaders and Editors, the quality of what you see wouldn't nearly be as high as it is currently. So, with a change to writer's of the month / year, I would like to propose an actual News Member of the Month and News Member of the Year. As we also lack awards for productions, and the other web ops sections, I suggest having Productions, T&E, Marketing, etc. Members of the Month / Year. We have plenty of excellent members that provide content for our community, and so I think we should have a way to recognize the effort they put in, and thank them for the fantastic work they do.

Name: KSI Badfur // Glory Mooncalled Link to Forums Account: http://www.ksiforums.org/user/53-glory-mooncalled/ Award-/-Achievement: Die Hard Reason-/-Evidence: I had it on the old forums, was going through the awards list, saw it, remembered, here I am asking for it again. For reference: http://www.ksiglobal.com/forums/topic/98079-ksi-badfur/

I can vouch for twahl on this. I read every article that is written by the news team, and edit most of them. I can confirm that twahl (jaku, as it were), wrote a very well written article. Based on the number of comments, and the contents within said comments, I support his claim for this award.

This. All of the this. Sam Tsui and Kurt Hugo Schneider are amazingly talented. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUlgdcwVGV0

Name: (Member-/-Squad-/-Division of the person you are nominating) Badfur Link to Forums Account: http://www.ksiforums...user/53-badfur/ Award-/-Achievement: (The award you are nominating this person for) Committed, Trainer Reason-/-Evidence: (Please give reasons to why this person is deserving of the award you are nominating them for) Committed: I've had a KSI tag for over 2 years. Trainer: I've probably trained about 100 or so members in KSI, and have given advice to quadruple that number, at least. That said, however, the training occurred over the course of my time in KSI, which includes many members that are not presently in KSI. As far as witnesses to the 30+, I am sure Luci could be a witness, he was Co-Fo at a time in which I trained 30-40 people. Ragnarok could vouch for quite a few at least... I had a list on my old computer... though that list has disappeared. // I was going to put the transfer form in here as well, but I honestly could not fill out that form. I don't know most of the information, and do not have access to the previous forums. That said, I had Committed and FTLA graduate over that way (Fuzzy's class) (While I will not nominate myself for it, as that would be against the rules, I feel the need to mention it.)

I can confirm that everything mentioned above happened, and I do vouch for him. At the time of the events I was his General in Legacy, I can think of only a couple of people that have ever done as well as Ragnarok in all my time in KSI.
