Director
Gamertag - KSI Luci Lux 7
Link to forums account - http://www.ksiforums...leave-me-alone/
Reasoning why they deserve this - While I cannot testify about a lot of what Luci does, I would like to credit him for what I do know. He is the leader of GLB5 division for ELITE. He maintains that clan system, removing inactive/non ksi members, keeping us enlisted in challenges and different events. Luci is also very active on the forums answering many members' questions including my own. He is not afraid to get into the drama of other members who seem to be bickering in open format and tell them to knock it off nor is he shy about demanding members follow the rules in certain areas. The diligence he shows in carrying out his duties within KSI is admirable and worthy of consideration for this award. As the new director over ET I am looking forward to getting to know him better.
Division Leader
Gamertag (Rank - Division/Squad) - KSI IRONCOWBOY 7, ET

Reasoning why they deserve this - Simply put, Ironcowboy deserves this award because of his passion. While every division is good, Ironcowboy will not settle for just good from his leaders, he demands excellence. He holds recruit and mentoring training sessions ensuring that every last leader in ET knows what they are doing and that we know it well enough to teach our members. This strive for excellence is a wonderful quality and makes Ironcowboy a great leader within KSI. Another remark on his behalf is, he still gets out and mingles with his lower members. He on occassion will host a game lobby and invite several members from founders to recruits and play a couple of rounds enjoying why we're all here, online gaming. It is great to see this interaction and is a wonderful example of what a leader is and should be. I would dare to say current and future ksi leaders would do well to take a few pointers from this leader.
Co-Div
Gamertag (Rank - Division/Squad) - KSIxNativeWolf7, ET
Link to forums account - http://www.ksiforums...sixnativewolf7/
Reasoning why they deserve this - NativeWolf works hard with all members of Evil Ties, keeping the division informed of any and all security threats that we should know about. If there is any issue going on Native is normally available to speak to about it. He is very approachable with new ideas and willing to consider it. Even me as a SGT I could go to him with security concerns of members around me as well as my own. As I Lt, I was able to approach him concerning getting training done within our division and he worked with me in getting that done. NativeWolf not only has a great ear, but helps when he can. He is a wonderful asset to the Division and KSI as a whole.
Co-Founder
Gamertag (Rank - Division/Squad) - KSI StonePULSE7, ET Co-Fo
Link to forums account - http://www.ksiforums...si-stonepulse7/
Reasoning why they deserve this - I've known Stone from almost the start of my time in KSI. I am not exactly sure what position he held before I got to know him better, but I first met Stone as a General of Infected when ET was first formed. While this vote could go for General, I believe it is properly placed with Co-Founder. StonePULSE has taken a few squads that were on the decline and leaderless and personally lead the squad either until the squad got back on its feet and/or until he felt a proper leader was in place and was turning the squad around. The squads are now strong and prospering and are an example where his leadership and decisions have revived a dieing part of KSI. He is dedicated to KSI and its members and should be considered Co-Founder of the Year. And as mentioned for Ironcowboy, StonePULSE is great about playing with all members of ET (KSI). It is not unusual to find him in one of the many game nights being held in some of the squads for ET.
General
Gamertag (Rank - Division/Squad) - KSIxK1NGxCZRx77, ET/Co-Fo
Link to forums account - http://www.ksiforums...sixk1ngxczrx77/
Reasoning why they deserve this - He is a wonderful Co-Fo and asset to KSI as a whole, and would nominate him for that position as well, but what CZR did as a General was nothing short as OTY award material. CZR stepped up for Mayhem when that squad in ET was having a really tough time. He got all his members active which was great, but what was even more surprising was the amount of respect and love his squad had for him. Mayhem became one of the strongest squads in ET under his leadership bringing back a strong headhunters team and overall KSI involvement. CZR is a joy to know and have in a party/game, even when speaking his mind his attitude is positive. And as mentioned for Ironcowboy and StonePULSE, CZR is great about playing with all members of ET (KSI). It is not unusual to find him in one of the many game nights being held in some of the squads for ET.
Major
Gamertag (Rank - Division/Squad) - KSIxLast Kings, ET Infected General
Link to forums account -http://www.ksiforums...ksixlast-kings/
Reasoning why they deserve this - Last Kings works hard for KSI day in and day out. He constantly is going to meetings and trainings or holding meetings or trainings for members. He is constantly getting groups of members together to play whether it is online play or against a large group of KSI members in a private match. Many members look up to Kings as a star example of what a leader is and/or should be. He is a great problem solver that any member can go to, to vent about an issue and he will do what he can to help. If a member is not doing something they should be, he is the first one to say something and attempt to fix the issue. As a major/1st Captain Kings was always able to take over for the General and lead meetings or handle issues that arose. Kings maintains the line of communication from KSI overall to our squad keeping us informed. Kings not only demands certain expectations from his members he demands them from himself as well. He does not give an order that he would not follow. When he asks for people to recruit he leads by example and recruits too. Overall he is a large reason for why Khaotic was so successful and he is doing an awsome job with Infected bringing it back from the brink of total collapse. I really hope the higher ups in KSI pay attention and recognize this member as he is one of the greatest members that KSI has who is dedicated in every way at promoting this community that anyone can tell he loves.

LT
Gamertag (Rank - Division/Squad) - KSIxP0W3R
Link to forums account - http://www.ksiforums...5072-ksixp0w3r/
Reasoning why they deserve this - Power as Lt, was another one of the strongest members of Khaotic. Anytime he was on he had a mass of KSI members with him. He would constantly hold game nights or game lobbies for KSI members to get to know eachother and have a great time. Due to Power's efforts he made many members, especially myself, feel like a member of an actual community. It was because of him that I met many of the members through out KSI (as I was a quiet CPL barely active before I met him). This sense of community and bringing members together I think is the total embodiment of what a LT should be and do. While he did his other duties such as recruit and mentor new RCTs, making someone feel a part of the community was the most important job he could have done. Its sad to see that many members and leaders within KSI don't do the same. Power, this is your greatest strength continue to do this and you will be a great leader and other qualities will come naturally. Just don't move away from what you are good at man.

Reasoning why they deserve this - There are many people who I would like to nominate for this position, but because I can only choose one I choose none/all. Those that do read this please know that I think of pretty much all of you as the best of KSI because without you guys/gals this community would be nothing.
