KSI December 77 - OS3

[Minion xo 92]

Name: December 77
Link to Forums Account: @Hear Me Roar
Award-/-Achievement: OS3
Reason-/-Evidence:

Where to start with December... Well i’ve only known him for about 4 months now since I joined the News team. Right from the get go, he has been an amazing mentor and department head. December is understanding and extremely tolerant and although he strives to build this bad boy persona, he’s actually a really genuine and charismatic guy. He teaches you how to do things and explains them in a way that doesn’t make you feel like you’re getting a lecture or being told and helps you understand things in a way that doesn’t make you feel stupid. He is very “about the community” and does a lot to help maintain a healthy working environment for all members. He is very ‘by the people for the people’ and doesn’t hesitate to throw himself into organising and marketing events for everyone. 

 

December is undeniably one of the most reliable department heads i know. He is innovative, disciplined and exceptionally hard-working. Loyalty and open mindedness are traits that nobody will argue he possesses. Ideas are always listened to and he doesn’t just listen, he hears. He’s a highly intelligent individual and isn’t afraid to point out and correct you when your grammar isn’t as it should be. 

 

For all the reasons listed above, this is why I believe KSI December 77 deserves his OS Level 3 award.

O gosh where to start with December!!

This guy right has been the heart of KSI and is a great person to hang out with. He has been a role model to me and has showed me hard work pays off in the end. If it wasn't for this member I don't think I would be where I am now, he has mentored me and showed me everything I needed for the forums. And that's why december deserves this award!

If there is one person in our whole community who deserves this OS3 award, it would be December: The man, the myth, the legend…

When ANYONE mentions the name December, everyone pipes up “Yeah, we know that guy!” This is because he’s everywhere, even when he’s nowhere. When you look at our community as a whole, he has had a major influence in where we are today and comes with a rock solid resume. This includes, but isn’t limited to:

Now, off of December’s ridiculous resume and onto the feels.

 

Having known December since he originally joined, I’ve been able to have a first hand experience in everything he’s accomplished here. I’ve also been able to grow a personal relationship with him that I wouldn’t trade for all of the jewels in England. He is a friend, mentor, brother, and an annoying voice of reason. Without him, I would have never rejoined. I still fondly remember the day he BLEW ME UP telling me to come back…

 

December is a selfless individual in all aspects of his life. If he’s not at his IRL job, he’s somewhere working hard for KSI. Whether it be mentoring our newer crews, making sure our Social Media sites are updated, or just making sure people feel welcome, he’s always pushing for the betterment of KSI. He’s always making sure things here come first, even before gaming.(which we all know is his TRUE passion lolol).

 

December is always pushing people to better themselves. Something about him, he always knows the right things to say. He doesn’t just tell people what they should do, he makes them believe in themselves again. He gets them to lose all self doubt and builds their confidence up. I can speak from self experience here. He makes you feel comfortable, wanted, and important.

 

I could go on and on about December and the things that he does, but I think this speaks volumes as it is. The bottom line is without December, and the time, effort, and exceptionally hard amount of work that he puts in to KSI, things here wouldn’t be the same. He is the epitome of the leader we all want to be, and continue to push to be. At least that’s how it is for me. Thank you Zach. For everything. For being here for me in my greatest times of need, for treating my kids amazingly when they are online and want to play with the community, for being my mentor and continuously pushing me to go above and beyond, knowing that I can do things. I will forever be grateful to you for all that you do for not just myself, but to better our community. You will forever be an important part of my life. I can’t wait to see where you will be here in 6 months with the way you do things!

Keep the witnesses coming!

[GreendayFox 468]

I believe December deserves this award just because he does more for us than anyone else in the community.

- He helped me make HSI

- He runs News and all the Game Journalists

- Senior Moderator

- Used to be a Court Judge

- Former AAP staff member

- He runs all the social media's 

- Trial Artist for Graphics making TONS of cool stuff for the community

- Performance Officer Administrator 

- He is a mentor to tons of people

 

While this should be anything December was the person who helped me and give me the courage to do what I could do I have become lost without him and I am and always grateful of what he has done.

[KSI Siggy 101]

I would like to be a witness.

I have not known December long,but I can attest that I could not think of a better person who deserves OS3 than him.

His work speaks for itself. I will not list everything he has touched or been a part of because the people above have already done an excellent job of all the work he puts in,but every single aspect has only changed for the better because he had a part in it.

He is a very busy guy to say the least,but still manages to help out every chance he gets. He is what I inspire to be like in this community,and the kind of leader I strive to be in the future. 

This community would not be as successful as it is today,without people like December around. He is the type of person that makes a lasting impact on this community,and without a doubt he will be someone we talk about long after he is gone.

Thank you for everything you do December.

December is one of my newly promoted Senior Mods on these here forums which already is a testament to his work ethic and leadership skills, its rare a member will become a forums mod let alone make it to Smod. 

Ive had the opportunity to work with December on a number of projects and hes an endless fountain of ideas, hes always looking for new ways to improve KSI and make every aspect appealing and relevant to all of our members. His drive and work ethic are second to none and its one of the things I admire about him.

If there's a project going on you can guarantee December has a hand in it or hes learning about it to see if he can add anything to the process or even just help it along any way he can. 

Leaders like December are what make KSI great, there's no doubt in my mind he fully deserves this award.

 

 

[KSI Swag 77 220]

Im here to witness,

 

Well well well, I known December since I join back to KSI last year in 2018, While December was in LS he was a force for this Division, he stepped out his way to improve the divison . He also doing amazing things also over on the Web Ops side also. December continue to impress me with his growth as a leader, and I can say that I honor to have him as a fellow Leader in this amazing community , he definitely deserves this award @December 77

[KSI M3NTALIST 7 77]

I will happily be a witness for this amazing person

Throughout my time rising the ranks in Legend LS I always had a counterpart in Trocity LS to compete with for the highest rank, but sure enough I was always beaten to the next promotion by December but by the the time he had settled in to the rank I got a promotion and changed the game lol sorry. If it weren’t for Decembers “friendly” competition rising through the ranks I would have not got to the position of founder in LS before stepping away without his constant knowledge and always pushing for me to be better and to join a department to broaden my horizons in the community. I will hold my hands up and say that December is one of my mentors in the community and I am sure there will be many more that claim December as there mentor to. 

I am not going to list all of the departments that this man has been in let’s just say a finger in every KSI pie and that should be enough lol, now without this mans brilliance and determination to make this community better for everyone not just in the departments but in web operations as well, this community would most likely be in a different state (not saying nobody else contributes though lol because they do).

This man is held in high regard by a multitude of people in this community and is more than deserving of this prestigious award to ad to his already extensive collection in my mind there are very few that are currently better qualified for this 

NUFF SAID 

[KSI xKing 7DS 795]

December, I haven't know December for the longest time but I know in the short time that I have known him hes done some pretty amazing things. December takes on many roles in the community, New Dept Head, PO Admin, Senior forums mod and more! December and myself haven't always been the best of friends and in fact we hated each other for quite some time before getting promoted to senior mods together. He hit me up and was actually hella chill about asking if we could leave the past behind us and start a new. December is a super dedicated member to this community and honestly working with him has been a huge eye opener to me. Hes helped me with alot since we became baby mods together. Even if we did hate each other for most of that. Definitely don't think this community or most of the people in it would be where they are without him. If anyone deserves this award its definitely November.. oops December sorry. 

[TexAngel 77 149]

Let me see where to start with this guy. I met December through PO and from the start i was impressed with his knowledge and how he held the room. One thing about December is he talks to a person and not at a person. He is always willing to get out there and help a person with whatever. After a lot of talking maybe even a little begging lol he finally got me to join the News Team.  He and his team made me feel welcomed and were very encouraging to my crazy nervousness. He is a great leader and mentor but best of all friend. He gives so much to KSI and the people that are around him. He takes time to “dumb” things down for me. I look forward to the great things he does for KSI and anything he is involved in. 

[FadeZ 7 389]

Where to start with December. Man when I first met this guy my initial thoughts were something along the lines of wondering why this guy seemed to think he could tell me how to play PUBG lol. Over the last year I've gotten to work with December and really get a feel for who this guy is and am thankful to be able to call this guy a good friend. He has got to be one of the most dedicated and innovative leaders I have ever seen in this community hands down. We we're both writers together in News and watching this guy come in and earn the role of Head of the team while constantly improving the team around him was truly inspiring, I mean this guy literally worked with everyone of the active members of the team and worked hard to build the News department into the powerhouse it is now. It truly improved in content, activity, and variety and it's all thanks to this guy. He also was a huge factor and player in the revamping and transition of the history team into HSI. Building the foundation for HSI was no easy feat and it could not have succeeded how it has without him. I'm forever thankful for that. He's also been heavily involved in so many other departments and has had his hand in so many innovative ideas that it's almost easier to talk about what this guy doesn't Do. He is one of those leaders that really show a bright future of KSI and doing all this stuff while continuously being there for the members around him and working in real life without letting any of it get in the way is truly inspiring. He will continue to set an amazing example for the members of this community and in my opinion has shown what it takes to be considered outstanding. Thank you for the awesome ride Mr winter months I look forward to the future with you my brother.

I would like to witness for December! This man always goes above and beyond. I never understand how he is able to juggle so many hats at one time but, he really makes a stupendous Cat In the Hat performance each and every day. December is always available when you need something. He will answer your questions and is very good at being professional without making you feel like he is tearing you to shreds. 

Constructive criticism can be a difficult pill to swallow. December is a stupendous leader, he is a master at delivering the good with the bad. I had the pleasure of joining the News Department around the same time as him. I watched him raise to Editor and he really took the reigns. Not only did he throw in ideas but, he really got to work implementing his creative ways of thinking into motion. This man had a vision and he watched it come to fruition. It can be a scary thing when a new Head of a Department is appointed. In the case of December becoming head over News and History(at the time) it was a smooth and easy transition. In fact, this was what the department truly needed to get a fresh start! December has created a solid foundation for the writers on the team to feel comfortable. He has implemented a writing workshop with the right amount of information and humor to keep you chuckling while intensely informing you that you in fact use way. too. many. commas! 

It is always a sight to see when December gets a new idea. He got the notion to make the History Department more than it initially was ever thought to be. When he came up with the idea he ran it across me and I knew it was a real winner. We now have the Department that came from his plan. HSI(History, Statistics and Information).

December is outstanding and deserves to be recognized to the utmost capacity!

KSI December 77, the official CDM note taker. April 12th 2018 - News team

I have known December since 2014 and was present when he was dealing with the multitude of issues which was formerly known as WI. With a high level of commitment and perseverance, he managed to make Co-Founder, which was, and still is no small feat!

However outstanding December was during that time period, that is not what I wish to attest to.

In April 2018, I was the Head Department Manager, and received an application for a News Writer from KSI December 77. Funnily enough, I had referred him to the section to try to generate some interest in the Department side of KSI. In my party he showed interest, sass and a desire to further both himself and the community as a whole. I saw potential in this one which I knew I could grow and mold into a future leader of Department Ops, and perhaps KSI as a whole.

Given that, it still look me 10 days to get him in the news team, however from there he took off!

Three articles were out within a week and I recall pushing the previous Department head to let him get more on the calendar. Slowly but surely, his number of articles went up. Currently he has 93 articles on KSIGlobal.org, which is the equivalent of almost 8 articles per month since he joined the news team! This is only topped by Imppy, but he is another story altogether!

By May 2018, I was approached by the previous News Head to bring December up to a News Editor - a position which is not easily obtained but due to Decembers drive and ambition, I granted this promotion. I knew that it was a very rapid ascent, however his writing style, mentoring and peer to peer article review made it a no-brainer.

On the 7th of July 2018, December was promoted to News Co-Head. This is where he took over the hiring for the Department and the editing of all articles - effectively taking control of the entire Department.

He started to do what many others in News leadership had since then failed to do. Build a team around him, persons that loved to write, people who wish to advance and those who wanted to learn.

That gained him the News Department head position by the end of August.

That is a 4 month rise, from hiring to Department Head - which I can best describe as a success story.

Another achievement which December has made happen is managing to facilitate the creation of HSI (History, Statistics and Information). This was something that numerous previous News Department Heads had tried to accomplish but failed to do. He made this happen through calculated decisions and the development of a team which was able to take on the tasks created for them.

I can only testify to what I see, and this gentleman has been outstanding in each position which he takes on, and exceeds all expectations.

December has, beyond News, also been through most departments within KSI, to experience them and to gain a better understanding of how Department Operations operates. 

He was a member of the AAP since early 2018, and was continually active and ensuring that nominations were moving swiftly in the right direction.

He was also a member of our prestigious courts, as a court judge he helped ensure that DNH/ Blacklist appeals were processed without Bias and upheld the high standards to which our court staff are held to.

He is currently a member of our Graphics team as a Trial Artist, with his specialty being Discord/Xbox profile pictures. However if you refer to his early art to now, he has made improvements in leaps and bounds! He is constantly finding tutorials for himself and the rest of the team to try and bring their knowledge level up with his!

December was the Performance Operations Administrator from December 2018, helping Havoc organize and execute the duties of PO.

(I'm almost there)

Senior Mod - This is a position that few persons will ever achieve. December helps Riiot (our CAO) manage the forums day to day running and has recently gotten involved in the rejoin section, helping vet returning members to rejoin into clan ops, another task that has been accepted with fervour and care.

Lastly KSI December was promoted recently to our Social Media Manager, he is tasked with taking on our Social medias including Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. He has been itching for awhile to do this and has blasted forwards with it,  one more task which he has taken on with a burning passion which will enable him to succeed.

All in all, I want to above to show is the December has a desire to further this community and to look after its members, to make things easier for them and to ensure that their KSI experience is the best it can be!

He is an inspiration for anyone who wishes to achieve something in this community, and is willing to put in some hard graff to get there.
