Alt 19 Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Co-Div Gamgertag/Rank/Division/Squad: KSI Bacchus, Co-Div Leader (WI) Link: http://www.ksiforums.org/user/253-durzo-blint/ Reason: Bacchus is currently acting Div Leader for WI division, without him there to act for both his position and the next one up, WI would surely collapse. He is cool headed and I've actually managed to play some games with him which seems to be pretty hard to do with other higher-ups (lol). Founder: Gamertag/Rank/Division/Squad: KSI Protocol 7, Founder (WI) Link: http://www.ksiforums.org/user/11521-ksi-protocol-7/ Reason: You can see I give respects to him in my signature, but The real reason he deserves this award is how he does not back down and makes sure the ranks under him are doing what they are supposed to do. People think he can be mean and unreasonable, but that's only because he truly does his job properly. He can be really cool to play with and funny as well, so if you ever have a chance to play halo or CoD with him, then you will really see his personality. If you go to him with a problem, he will make sure it is resolved as quick as he can, and although he wants everyone to follow chain of command, he is all ears if you have something you want to say to him. Co-Founder Gamertag/Rank/Division/Squad: KSI 30thMidget, Co-Fo (WI) Link: http://www.ksiforums.org/user/12073-ksi-30thmidget/ Reason: Everyone who knows this guy, knows that he is very calm and relaxed, but then he has the serious side as well. When an issue arises, he is not afraid to tell you how it is, whether you are asking about it, or you are the accused. I can always rely on him to give me advice and point me in the right direction and give me honest answers. Great mentor, he is a future Div Leader. Captain Gamertag/Rank/Division/Squad: KSI PROSPIN 913, 2CPT (Venom WI) Link: http://www.ksiforums.org/user/7218-i-am-riff-raff/ Reason: Yes, he is in the same squad as me, but everytime I'm online and asking people to help me recruit, he is always first one there. He's a real jokester, too and lightens up the mood in tense situations. People think he jokes too much, but I know him as a good friend and as a captain and I see his efforts, his concerns with Venom WI, and I see him when a serious situation does involve him. He will no doubt be a general again. Lieutenant Gamertag/Rank/Division/Squad: KSI Wafflesauce, 1LT (Venom WI) Link: http://www.ksiforums.org/user/12215-wafflesauce/ Reason: People who know both him and me and have seen the two of us in the same party will probably be surprised, but I have to give it to him. He argues a lot, but at the same time has very valid points that everyone could probably learn from. He doesn't simply think for himself, but for others as well that a circumstance may pertain too. I have to say that he has proven me wrong a few times and I even go to him and ask advice for certain things because he is one of the few who understands and thinks for others. He may not be the best at recruiting or training or even large group interaction, but he gives great advice and tries his best in our squad. Member Gamertag/Rank/Division/Squad: KSI Scrappy v2, 4LT (Venom WI) Link: http://www.ksiforums.org/user/17406-ksi-scrappy-v2/ Reason: He doesn't have all the time in the world for gaming, but when he does get online he's chilling with KSI members and helping keep activity up. He's recently became an officer because of his superior interest in KSI and his help amongst the squad. He helps me personally with my HH team and shows concern when people do not attend practices for example, and is not afraid to tell me when I am out of line about something.

Khaleesi 213 Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 KSI Heero 7 (Division Leader/TW) - Link to forums account -http://www.ksiforums.org/user/7261-sage-mode-naruto/ Reasoning why they deserve this – KSI Heero 7 is one of the main reasons most of the upper leadership here in TW is still here. When we all get stressed out or frustrated, Heero helps us see the good in ourselves and is always quick to show us how we can calm ourselves down and fix situations. Even though Heero has an excessive amount of duties, he always is up for playing with new members and makes sure that he meets everyone he can here in TW. He helps out new members and make sure they all feel welcome and are not left alone. We here in TW, are lucky we have Heero. We couldn’t ask for a better Division Leader. Heero is simply the best! KSI Sworn 7 (Co-Division Leader/TW) - Link to forums account - http://www.ksiforums.org/user/7662-%C3%A4lph%C3%A4%CF%89m%C3%ABg%C3%A4/ Reasoning why they deserve this – KSI Sworn 7 is a key example as to what a good KSI member looks like. He’s always kind to every member he meets and never shows anyone and type of rudeness. He’s always helping me out when my general duties become too stressful and is quick to help out any member in any situation. Sworn is always eager to play minecraft and halo with the squads that enjoy it even though he doesn’t exactly excel himself. We’re all proud of how far Sworn has come and can’t wait to see more good things come from him. KSI Payton 7 (Founder/TW) Link to forums account - http://www.ksiforums.org/user/3148-voljin-darkspear/ Reasoning why they deserve this – KSI Payton 7 is a prime example of someone who goes above and beyond for KSI. He is completely dedicated to this community and everyone in it. I honestly haven’t ever saw someone in KSI that was dedicated to this community like Payton is. He’s proud to be in KSI, proud of where he’s gotten, and proud of the person he’s become. Payton is one of those rare examples of people here in KSI that genuinely cares about the people in his division. He knows almost everyone here, and is respected by everyone. He knows how to have fun, but also knows when it’s time to step in and have some authority. Which overall, has gained the respect of everyone here in TW. Payton knows an extensive amount of knowledge about KSI and is always eager to share it with everyone. Payton is a prime example of an overall amazing person here in KSI. I’m personally so proud of everything he’s done, and can’t wait to see more come from him. KSI Legal 7 (Co-Founder/TW) Link to forums account - http://www.ksiforums.org/user/9487-ksi-legal-7/ Reasoning why they deserve this – Ever since Legal became Co Founder over Killjoy, he’s been going over the top to help us out and play on Halo 4, even though he’s a Call of Duty player. He’s been helping me personally improve Killjoy and has been helping my own members too. Legal has been kicking butt and helping out dramatically. I’m really happy with what he’s doing and I can’t wait to see what else he’s going to do to help us out. KSI Terrors (General/Recoil/TW) Link to forums account - http://www.ksiforums.org/user/15895-ksi-terrors/ Reasoning why the deserve this – KSI Terrors is a shining example of someone who is dedicated to KSI. I constantly am admired by his dedication during our general meetings when he gives us a good 10 minutes speech on how well his squad is doing while other squads give 30 second speeches. Terrors is always playing with his members as well as trying to meet other members and be a better KSI member altogether. His head is always level and he’s quick not to be temperamental with anyone. I can’t wait to watch Terrors go above and beyond and become an amazing leader someday. KSI Carmenia (1st Lieutenant/Killjoy TW) Link to forums account - http://www.ksiforums.org/user/17772-carmeniamarie/ Reasoning why they deserve this – I’m really happy with everything KSI Carmenia has been doing lately. She’s been going above and beyond with everything and I can’t wait to see what else she accomplishes. She posts our squad meeting notes on time, and is always there to welcome people into our squad. She’s definitely kicked it up in this past month with officer duties and has shown her authority while still being sweet Carmenia. I’m incredibly proud of her and can’t wait to see what else she does Miss Queen Bee and CaRmEnIa 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
sneakycrow 44 Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Not sure what the rules are for getting member of the month twice in a row, but I'd like to nominate him anyway: Member Name: KSI Doctor 7 Link to forums account: http://www.ksiforums.org/user/4993-dantallion/ Why they deserve this: Doctor is a high ranking member of KSI, really high. And in my experience of dealing with "higher ups" they tend to only deal with people who are either right below them, or above them. Not the "bottom ranks". Doctor is different. Doctor talks and actively participates with all members of the clan. Not to say that other higher ups don't but Doctor stands out. Doctor says hi to everyone in the shoutbox, I see him in parties with every kind of rank, PVT, CPL, LT, CPT, GEN, etc. and he's just a super cool dude. He supports a lot of people in the clan in KSI as much as he can. He even supported my small event that I was doing (which was not even KSI related) just because he wanted to! Doctor is one of the coolest members around, and even if there's some rule about getting member of the month twice in a row, I just want to recognize Doctor once more this month also.
