I was recruited by Shade three months and five days ago, and he has been letting me in on what I need to know to be successful in KSI from the getgo. He showed me tips to pick recruits, reasons to stay active on the forums, and is constantly giving me new info on what is going on in KSI, whether it be a game night, another members promotion, or a DNH or blacklist. He even called me "special" today, in a good way lol. I think Shade lost his mind when he was not only given the rank of Cofounder, but when my other mentor KSI Xx Panic xX stormed out on Defcon shortly after becoming GEN for no apparent reason, leaving Shade to pick up the pieces while our MAJ was on an extended vacation to Finland. He and I, along with KSI Blazing311, have since returned Defcon to normalcy and we are on an even brighter track than before with our SSGs and below showing that they really are eager to help with anything that they can. Shade has since become a workaholic, constantly trying to improve Covert Ops and Defcon. This makes at least twice the number of times Shade has almost singlehandedly brought Defcon back to glory. I remember when he drove himself into the wall as the Defcon GEN when Apache and Foxtrot were low on membership. Not only were we worried about the Defcon squad split, but now we took it upon ourselves to recruit for two other squads wih less than 40 members each. He almost exclusively filled the Apache squad tag, while myself and the other Defcon officers filled the Foxtrot tag. After all of this was done, he has since sent me messages containing something about $400 an hour for birthday parties and such, and I don't know what to make of them. If he doesn't win this award, I demand a professional opinion.
