    I’ve been high ranks in different communities, never becoming hostile or aggressive after leaving for a multitude of reasons. I fully know, coming from a leadership stance, that my application is daunting. 
    I am also aware that if I am allowed to join stipulations might be added to my membership. For example, a rank lock for a certain amount of time or something like that.

    December reacted to KSI Airborne 7 in 2020 Donors   
    Well, I can say that the Donor's Weekend was a pretty great event. I'm not sure if there is the funds being brought in or not, to maybe have a Donor's weekend every 6 months if it was funded? Again, not sure what the cost of the weekend vs what is being made is but it's a thought. Even if we maybe had smaller Donor tournaments every now and then, even without like a straight cash prize, like forums awards or some other kind incentive. I think if we maybe had a few more events and others start to see they are missing out on more than 1 thing, we may have more people donate and try to achieve donor status for next year.

    A Donor's Stream could be cool. Maybe invite last year's top donors to join the Of The Year's stream and give them a shoutout? Plus it would be a good opportunity to remind people to donate, as well as just a fun thing to do.
    I also like the idea of more smaller events for Donor's. Even if it's something small like a Donor's Only stream every other month. You'd just need to make sure to set it up well in advance and get the word out to all of the Donors. So you can get a good attendance for it!
    you could also do a Donor's Only event (or 2?) for each of the other Annual Events

    Productions is part of KSI’s multimedia umbrella, along with Graphics, News and Marketing. Within this Department, members can explore the possibilities of live-streaming events to sites such as Twitch, editing together montage and clip packages, working with software to create intros and outros that will be used in videos and much more. The team is also comprised of staff who create long-standing shows and podcasts for KSI’s members to enjoy. Such shows are either streamed on Twitch or recorded and exported to YouTube. Productions also runs KSI’s monthly Town Hall and weekly 7's VS Viewers events.
    Staff comes from inside and outside of KSI’s Clan Ops. Those involved in KSI’s Clan Ops are able to stream interviews, game play, and game nights involving their divisions, allowing a spotlight to be shined brightly on their members and activity. The team also runs contests such as the Upload Studio Montage Competition, which runs monthly and allows those who don’t have recording and editing software to put together montages that compete to be displayed on our YouTube channel. They also solicit short, interesting clips that can be passed along to KSI’s Social Media so those clips can be uploaded onto the community’s Facebook and Twitter pages.
    The Productions Department is committed to providing content the community can enjoy both on and off of Xbox.
     
    Tournaments & Events
    KSI’s Tournaments & Events Department (T&E) provides a competitive gaming atmosphere to compliment KSI’s casual community-centered environment. The T&E team plans and executes weekly Weekend Warfare events that all of KSI’s members can compete in.
    The team collaborates with other KSI departments to make sure winners of events are recognized and awarded for their accomplishments. (Productions to assist in streaming events, News to cover events with in-depth recaps, and AAP to issue awards to winners of certain tournaments) The T&E team is always open to recommendations and suggestions for new competition and tournament ideas. The staff also assists the Board of Directors in executing KSI’s large annual events – Spring Break, Spirit Week, Fall Classic and Turkey Bowl.

    December got a reaction from VENM VII in KSI VENUM 7 Gold Outstanding Nom   
    KSI VENUM 7 - "Honest, diligent, a dedicated leader and a man of his word." I've had the opportunity to watch VENUM grow and succeed in this community on three fronts.
    Rising up through the ranks in DW during 2018, he became a Division Leader this year. It was a well-deserved culmination, even though I'm sure not the end of his journey in Clan Ops. Whether it's mentoring, training, recruiting or simply leading by example, VENUM has given more time and energy to his division than most people can fathom. He has emerged as one of the most steadfast and dependable leaders in KSI.
    "He takes great pride in representing the Division the best he can. He is a hard worker when it comes to the Division, he's always up for teaching the people of DW and making them a better leaders as well as a better people!" (OS2 Nomination, August 2018) This is still true in every way. VENUM is always watching over the members of his division. To him, being a part of a division is just as much about having fun and hanging out as it is about training those around him to be the leaders of tomorrow. "He is extremely dedicated to his members and to DW, doing all that he can to be supportive of them. He's knowledgeable, loyal, and focused on one goal - which is to improve DW." (OS2 Nomination, August 2018) 
    VENUM has been involved in Departments and Web Ops for a long time as well. I've observed him for many months now as he's worked hard to rebuild the Performance Ops branch of the community. It hasn't been an easy road but VENUM has proven himself equal to the task. PO has never had such a passionate and reliable leader as it has in VENUM. He's mentored many PO's, overseen the beginning of a new era of integration of the Department into Clan Ops and has succeeded in establishing a much more positive reputation for PO in KSI. His success as a Department Head is barely outweighed by his commitment to seeing his fellow members prosper and grow. VENUM has been a part of Web Ops too - a former Join Moderator, recently promoted to a Forums Moderator. It's very apparent that this man will stop at nothing to educate himself and get involved in KSI in every way he can.
    I believe that VENUM has absolutely earned OS3. His contributions to the community are as numerous as they are varied. Whether it's his rock-solid legacy in Clan Ops, his hard work and ingenuity in Departments or his diligence and knowledge in Web Ops, VENUM is an outstanding example of what a leader in KSI SHOULD be. 
    VENUM doesn't change. And neither does his loyalty to his friends and his fellow members. This guy is gonna do great things. (Do MORE great things, I should say.) I'm stoked to see it.

    Gamertag: KSI VENUM 7
    Link: @VENUM 7
    Award: Gold Outstanding (OS Lvl 3)
    Reason/Evidence: Venum is fully deserving of this award. To start off, he is a Division Leader, Forums Mod, and the Head of Performance Operations. As a division leader, he is pushing towards success and encouraging all of his members to get up and be the change. With two thriving squads in Samurai and Elysium, the division is pushing towards being as great as it once was.
     
    Next, as a Forums Mod, he uses his ability to navigate and know the site like the back of his hand. He uses that to help members with forums related problems and guide them in the right direction. 
     
    Finally, as the Head of Performance Operations, he is the driving force of the new turn around of the whole department. After the former head went MIA, Venum stepped up to the plate and took on the department. He has reworked the STP program as well as some of the CEP workshops that are used today by mostly everyone in the community. He has an amazing staff below him that bounces ideas off him to get the best out of PO.
     
    So with all of this, Venum is impacting the community in many ways and truly expresses what a true leader is like.
