<p><em><strong>Good evening my fellow peeps:) </strong></em></p>
<p><b><i>Personal note to squad....Sorry it took so long for me to get this up. I did not want to post it with the massive amount of new people coming in the squad. </i></b></p>
<p><b><i>- </i></b><i>If you are reading this then I'm sure you came here for two reason's.                                                                                        <b>Captain: KSI ROYALPINK 7</b></i></p>
<p><i>1. Being you are wanting to try out for the best team in KSI history.                                                                                            <strong>Co- Captain: KSI Coder</strong></i></p>
<p><i>                                    <strong>     OR                                                                                                                                                Team Captain: KSI MrSp33dey </strong></i></p>
<p><em>2. You are wanting to try to beat the best team in KSI history. </em></p>
<p> </p>
<p><em>Either way you came to the right place. Below I will go over the team as it stands to date....however, we will be bringing in new recruits every week. So I have came to the conclusion there will be one try out each month. It will be during the last week of the month and you must sign up here to try out. This will not only insure that forums activity is being used but also will insure that each member(s) of the team(s) have active forums accounts. If at any time the forums account goes inactive then you will be asked to either correct the problem or take a leave from the team. ksiforums.org holds a lot of information that everyone can use. There is never to much to learn.  </em></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><u><strong><em>RULES </em></strong></u></span></span></p>
<p style="line-height:15.6pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">KSI  HH teams are to be comprised of the best members that can and will work together as a team. These teams will represent their home squad or division in head to head challenges and clan battles. These rules can be subject to change.<p></p></span></p>
<p style="line-height:15.6pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">A HH team will consist of 8 members ranked off their skill level 1-8. This will be based off 3 rounds, FFA game type, MLG or Tournement style rules. The ranks will be based on kill count and K/D spread. The ranks will be the deciding factor on what number the member is on a HH team. At all times the uniform for a HH member should be KSI Shadow DL (rank) then (HH ranking). Once a month the HH members will do another head to head against each other to determine if their numbers change. So with that you can be HH8 one month but be HH1 the next month depending upon how you place in the ranks for the monthly head to head. This is to ensure all members keep their skills sharp and are always trying to better themselves.<p></p></span></p>
<p style="line-height:15.6pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">After the monthly head to head all members will send the moderator (general or captain) a message saying who they feel should be the Team Captain that month. You can NOT vote for yourself and this allows the team to choose who they feel would make a good candidate. If a choice is not made the moderator (general or captain) will then decide. If a HH member can not show up for the head to head they will be automatically placed at the bottom of the rankings.<p></p></span></p>
<p style="line-height:15.6pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Rankings within headhunters are important because lets say HH3 is challenged and loses that means he then shifts to HH4 and the person that won is now HH3. So in other words, everyone that is ranked below the new HH (including the HH that lost the challenge) must shift down one slotarrow-10x10.png. That of course means HH8 would be removed from team until he can challenge his way back on. This is why the head to head done monthly is so important because the HH8 member not only needs to win all his challenges but must hope the others above him do as well to stay on the HH team.<p></p></span></p>
<p style="line-height:15.6pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">A member of a squad is eligible to be on a HH team without having to have a KSI gamertag. The community does however encourage HH members to have KSI gamertags but it will not keep you from taking part in the team events. All team members are expected to uphold the CoC and show mutual respect during HH events. The newest edition to these rules will be our Generals finally having the opportunity to take part of being on a HH team. If a General chooses to be a part of a HH team he will not be allowed to be the moderator of the team, but he still will have the duty of making sure the team runs smoothly and assists in setting up battles. However, in order for the General to tryout for a HH team he must first get the approval from his Co-Founder or next highest ranked leader. If being on the HH team starts effecting how the General runs the squad then the Co-Founder or the next highest ranked leader has the ability to remove the General from the HH team. <p></p></span></p>
<p style="line-height:15.6pt"><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The duties of a Team Captain and Moderator:</span></strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><p></p></span></p>
<p style="line-height:15.6pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong>Team Captain</strong> - This member will be in charge of training and improving the team. They must have exceptional communication and gameplay skills. The Team Captain will also be in charge of setting up times and dates for team practices.<p></p></span></p>
<p style="line-height:15.6pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong>Moderator</strong> - This member will be designated by the General. The Moderator is to be chosen from one of the Captains in a squad, however in some cases the position can be passed down to a Lieutenant if needed. Moderators will be in charge of overseeing HH battles and the challenges a HH may receive for seat on the team. The Moderator ensures the Team Captain is doing his duties and also assists the General in finding battles for the team. A Moderator has the right to recommend the removal of a member from the team if that member breaks the CoC or becomes inactive. <p></p></span></p>
<p style="line-height:15.6pt"><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Here is how challenges are to work:</span></strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><p></p></span></p>
<p style="line-height:15.6pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">It will be a 1v1, 3 rounds, FFA similar to the head to head HH members have to do (Halo 4 players will have a score limit set to 15 instead of 25). Now to make this fair a HH member can only be challenged 1 time a week and a non HH member can only challenge 1 HH a week. This to make sure that people dont get challenge happy and keep things where you pick your competition wisely.<p></p></span></p>
<p style="line-height:15.6pt"><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Here are the rules for the challenges:</span></strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><p></p></span></p>
<p style="line-height:15.6pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">1. The one presenting the challenge posts in the designated thread they want to challenge a HH member and puts the name of that member.<p></p></span></p>
<p style="line-height:15.6pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">2. The HH member that is challenged, within a timely matter IE 3-4 days needs to setup a time with moderators to have the challenge.<p></p></span></p>
<p style="line-height:15.6pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">3. The Moderator with the best connection will host the lobby. The HH member chooses the 3 maps that the 1v1 will take place on. MLG rules will be used and each game will have a 25 point (15 points for Halo 4) score limit. <p></p></span></p>
<p style="line-height:15.6pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">4. Each player of the challenge will clarify they have read and understand how the matches are to go and the end result.<p></p></span></p>
<p style="line-height:15.6pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">5. In the event of a tie the challenged HH retains his spot.<p></p></span></p>
<p style="line-height:15.6pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> </span></p>
<p style="line-height:15.6pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong>NOTE:</strong> If you are not serious about being active and dont have time to do practices with the HH's based off the HH Captain's need for them do NOT challenge. Remember this is a TEAM and with that if any issues come up and it is  in the best interest of the team to remove or not even allow a person to challenge then that is the General's call (If the General is on the HH team then the next highest ranked leader will deal with such issues.) GOOD LUCK everyone and remember this is a gaming community so lets get to gaming!" <p></p></span></p>
<p style="line-height:15.6pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> </span></p>

<div>
<div>
<p></p>
<blockquote class="ipsStyle_spoiler" data-ipsspoiler="">
<div><strong><span style="font-size:24px;"><span style="color:#0000ff;">In order to maintain the high standards of membership in KSI, and to continue to represent the KSI community, all members MUST understand and abide by the following "Code of Conduct".</span></span></strong></div>
<div> </div>
<div>1. <strong><span style="font-size:18px;"><span style="color:#008000;">Every KSI member must read and understand the Xbox LiveÂ® Terms of Service and Code of Conduct.</span></span></strong>
</div>
<div><span style="color:#ff0000;">â€œObviously, you play on Xbox Live and had to agree to the terms of service in order to participate in XBL, so it goes without saying that we expect you to follow the guidelines outlined thereinâ€</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div>2.<strong><span style="font-size:18px;"><span style="color:#008000;"> KSI does not tolerate discrimination, racism, or harassment, by or towards, any member of KSI in game lobbies, chat forums, or gaming situations of any type.</span></span></strong>
</div>
<div><span style="color:#ff0000;">â€œWhen you are participating in the forums, XBL or any other activity that is part of the KSI community, you represent KSI, even in non-KSI related games if you have changed your gamertag, and you should represent KSI in a positive fashion. You made the decision to be part of this community and you should, by example, encourage others to do the same. Do not make fun of anyone because of their race, gender, religion, region of the world, accent, etcâ€¦ Treat everyone with respect.â€</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div>3.<strong><span style="font-size:18px;"><span style="color:#008000;"> Leaders within KSI are responsible for: the organization of all squad matches and practices, posting match scores, maintaining professional game play during squad matches, and oversight of performance and behavior of lower ranking members.</span></span></strong>
</div>
<div><span style="color:#ff0000;">â€œThis doesnâ€™t apply to you yet, since you are a new recruit, but it should inspire you to gain higher ranks so that you can start to take part in the employment of these activities as a leader. Additionally, this also gives you a guideline of what to expect from your leaders so that you can, politely and with tact, help them make sure that they are setting the proper example and leading effectively. If you see something that seems â€œoffâ€ then you should work to get promoted so that you can have more influence in taking care of your other membersâ€</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div>4.<strong><span style="font-size:18px;"><span style="color:#008000;"> A KSI member: NEVER LEAVES ANOTHER KSI MEMBER BEHIND.</span></span></strong>
</div>
<div><span style="color:#ff0000;">â€œThis is pretty self explanatory. If a member goes down in the game and can be revived, then revive them. It also applies to other situations though: If a member has a question, concern, or other issue that you can help them with, please do so. We like to think of KSI as being a family and the way that we promote that way of thinking is by taking care of each other.â€</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="color:#008000;">5. <strong><span style="font-size:18px;">All members have an "Open Door Policy" to speak with Leaders and Founders on any issues or with any ideas.</span></strong></span></div>
<div><span style="color:#ff0000;">â€œYou, as a member of KSI, have the right to talk to your leadership about issues, both your own and ones within the squad/division/clan. However, please make sure that you follow proper protocol and take the issue to your LT or CPT first so that they are aware of the issue. No one likes to be blindsided with an issue and it is respectful to let your immediate level of leadership know/try to help before it must go higher. Additionally, you can post any issues on the forums, which are an invaluable resource and tool. Check out my bio for the address and make sure to sign up for the forums. You will be able to meet other members and build connections with hundreds of other players on XBL. Once you register, make sure you check your email and validate your logon so that you can start posting.â€</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div>6. <strong><span style="font-size:18px;"><span style="color:#008000;">A KSI member takes pride in his or her membership and is encouraged to change their gamer tag within 60 days.</span></span></strong>
</div>
<div><span style="color:#ff0000;">â€œYou absolutely do not have to change your gamertag in order to be a happy and successful member of KSI. Many players are just casual gamers that want to have a large player base to associate with. However, if you want to get promoted to the rank of SGT or higher, then you will need to change your gamertag in order to reflect your affiliation to KSI. By changing your gamertag, you are advertising KSI in any game that you play on XBL, even outside of the regular KSI games. This is a good thing! When you change your gamertag, you are saying â€œI am proud to be in KSI and I want everyone to know that KSI is awesome enough to add to my gamertagâ€. As long as you continue to represent KSI positively, this will lead to people asking you about the â€œKSIâ€ in your gamertag and that will give you the chance to talk about KSI and possibly get a new recruit!â€</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div>7.<strong><span style="font-size:18px;"><span style="color:#008000;"> KSI members must maintain a professional manner and attitude during play as well as within lobby chat.</span></span></strong>
</div>
<div><span style="color:#ff0000;">â€œIf you are in a lobby and someone starts cussing you out or talking trash, MUTE THEM! Show that you are the better person and just use the â€œMighty Mute Buttonâ€. Not only does that show the other person that they have no power over your emotions, but it also shows the other players in the lobby that members of KSI maintain a high standard of conduct, which will possibly lead to people wanting to join and then you will be able to recruit them! You also need to make sure to maintain proper conduct when using the forums.â€</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div>8. <strong><span style="font-size:18px;"><span style="color:#008000;">KSI members are not permitted to be a part of any other gaming league unless they are within the alliance of KSI affiliated leagues.</span></span></strong>
</div>
<div><span style="color:#ff0000;">â€œOnce you get logged onto the forums, you will be able to access the thread about our affiliates. Make sure that you associate only with our affiliates and if you have questions about other possible affiliates, feel free to use the Open Door Policy to ask your leadership questions about it, but definitely get on the forums and check it out too.â€</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div>9. <strong><span style="color:#008000;"><span style="font-size:18px;">All KSI members must be the age of seventeen on games rated M (Mature) ESRB RATINGS</span></span></strong>
</div>
<div><span style="color:#ff0000;">â€œAny exceptions to this rule need to be run through your General and they will bring them to the proper authority for permission.â€</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><strong><span style="font-size:18px;"><span style="color:#008000;">10. The list of prohibited activities includes, but is not limited to: Illegal Drugs, Software Alteration, Modding of Games, Console Manipulation, Other Forms of Piracy, Racketeering, Money laundering, Blackmail, Murder, Child Pornography, Prostitution, Bestiality, Incest, Slavery, Fraud, Cannibalism, Theft, Vigilantism, Harassment, and Acts of Treason.</span></span></strong></div>
<div><span style="color:#ff0000;">â€œIf you are doing anything in your personal life that violates these rules; KEEP THEM IN YOUR PERSONAL LIFE. We are not trying to control your personal life, however, we maintain a positive and uplifting environment in our forums and game sessions. So, please, donâ€™t talk about eating people in our games LOLâ€</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="color:#ffff00;">-â€œDo you have any questions about anything that we have gone over?â€</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#ffff00;">-â€œDo you agree to follow the Code of Conduct of KSI?â€</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color:#ffff00;">-â€œWelcome to KSI, now we just have to get you into uniform and set up properly!â€</span><p></p>

<div> </div>
<div>==============</div>
<div><strong><span style="color:#800080;">What comes Next</span></strong></div>
<div>==============</div>
<div> </div>
<div>
<p></p>
<blockquote class="ipsStyle_spoiler" data-ipsspoiler="">
<div>
<span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>NOTE:</strong></span><span style="color:#00ff00;"> It is good to have another member or two in the party with you as they will be able to cheer for the newbie too and really make the new recruit feel welcome</span>
</div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="color:#ff8c00;">You also want to make sure that you inform your new recruit that they must add the â€œRecruit Tag.â€ Be sure you explain to the recruit the importance why they are adding the Recruit Tag. </span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="color:#ff8c00;">Next thing you want to do is inform your new recruit of the KSI website â€œwww.ksiforums.orgâ€ and help them create an account. Be sure to inform your new recruit why members are encouraged to have forum accounts.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="color:#ff8c00;">Inform them of the squad meeting time and day and explain the importance of them being there (meet more members, get the latest information and get information about upcoming events, etc...)</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="color:#ff8c00;">Let the new recruit know that at some point, in the next few days, a KSI trainer will pull them into a party and conduct their new recruit training so that the new recruit can get promoted to PVT and get started moving up the ranks!</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#ff8c00;">Make sure they understand that they may be trained by someone other than their recruiter. We have had recruits refuse to join parties for training, even after being sent messages informing them of the intent of the party.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="color:#ff8c00;">Make sure to tell the recruit who their 1CPT and General are and then inform them of the significance of KSI members that have a â€œ7â€ at the end of their gamertag. (Note: our 7s are key to our operations and should be respected, make sure that the new member knows and understands that 7â€™s can kick them out and ban them from the clan/forums. We want to avoid new members being unaware of what having a 7 means and then making out-of-line comments/flaming our 7â€™s.)</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div>
<span style="color:#ff8c00;">Additionally, make sure that for the next few days, you play with your new recruits and introduce them to other members of your squad so that they can build new friendships and a lasting positive connection with KSI.</span><p></p>
</div>

</div>
<div> </div>
<div>===============================================</div>
<div><span style="color:#800080;"><strong>The following contains the process for training new recruits</strong></span></div>
<div>===============================================</div>
<div> </div>
<div>
<p></p>
<blockquote class="ipsStyle_spoiler" data-ipsspoiler="">
<div><span style="color:#00ff00;">**Start the training session by explaining who you are and what is about to occur. Ensure the member has 20 minutes or so to dedicate to the training session before beginning.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div>1) <strong><span style="font-size:18px;"><span style="color:#008000;">Review the recruitsâ€™ qualifications (age/maturity level) and ensure that the standards were followed during the recruitment process.</span></span></strong>
</div>
<div><span style="color:#ff0000;">"Sometimes recruits lie about their age, make sure to ask for their date of birth and see if it adds up to the proper age. If the recruit is underage, find out who gave the age waiver for them to join. If the recruit is underage and did not get an age waiver from a Co-Founder or higher immediately terminate the training and politely inform the recruit that they will unfortunately be unable to join KSI"</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="color:#ffff00;">- In the case of a recruiting violation report the Recruiter to your General IMMEDIATELY for retraining/administrative action.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div>2)<strong><span style="font-size:18px;"><span style="color:#008000;"> Review the Code of Conduct with the recruit and answer any questions that they may have regarding the CoC.</span></span></strong>
</div>
<div><span style="color:#ff0000;">"Be sure to ask the recruit if they will follow the CoC, if they are unwilling to do so, then terminate training and politely inform the recruit that they are unable to join KSI due to unwillingness to comply.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div>3)<strong><span style="font-size:18px;"><span style="color:#008000;"> Recite the rank structure: RCT, PVT, CPL, SGT, LT, CPT, Gen, COFO, Founder, Co-Div, Div-Leader, Director, Senior-Director.</span></span></strong>
</div>

<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>4) <strong><span style="font-size:18px;"><span style="color:#008000;">Explain the importance of KSI tag prefix and what KSI means.</span></span></strong>
</div>
<div><span style="color:#ff0000;">Ensure the recruit knows that it is a requirement for higher ranks due to the fact that if a person wants to lead in KSI then they should be proud enough of the community to show their affiliation no matter what they are doing on XBL. It is also important that you let the recruit know that KSI does not tolerate KSI gamertags that references drugs or sex. If caught with such a gamertag that breaks the Code of Conduct you will be subject to change it and you will not be eligible for any promotions.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div>
<span style="color:#ee82ee;"><strong>KSI stands for</strong></span>:<span style="color:#ff0000;"> <span style="font-size:18px;">Knowledge,</span></span> <span style="color:#0000ff;"><span style="font-size:24px;">Strength, </span></span><span style="color:#ffff00;"><span style="font-size:18px;">Integrity.</span></span>

</div>
<div><span style="color:#ff0000;">It is important for issues to be handled at the lowest level possible so that leaders at all levels get experience and become better leaders. If a leader is unable to resolve the issue, then it will be taken to the next higher level.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div>6)<strong><span style="font-size:18px;"><span style="color:#008000;"> Explain the importance of Squad Meetings.</span></span></strong>

</div>
<div><span style="color:#ff0000;">The Squad Tag (offers a complete list of squad members so that members can see who else in the squad is online without having to add all 50 or more members. By going to the friends list of the squad tag, members can invite others that are online and still save space on the membersâ€™ friends list.) Explain as well that any messages sent FROM the squad tag should be held as gospel and followed as would any command from the squadâ€™s general.)</span></div>

</div>
<div>
<span style="color:#ff0000;">The Forums are a great way to converse with other members and maintain a constant flow of information throughout the community as well as the many resources and aid available on the forums. As a member you are only allowed to be in the use of one forums account. Violation of this will either end in a ban or a perma-ban from the forums. If someone is using the same computer or you share households and hold the same IP, you must get with a forum admin first before creating an account. Without validation of an admin you will be banned. If you ever have problems with signing in get with the admins for help, creating another account will only get both accounts and your IP banned from the forums.</span><p></p>

<p>What's up ELITE FORCES?!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If you haven't heard by now, or if I haven't met you yet, I am <span style="color:rgb(255,165,0);">www.twitch.tv/ksilive</span> on Friday, 10JAN14.  That was a very exciting night for a lot of people and many thanks goes out to all of you who watched that stream  <img src="https://www.ksiforums.org/uploads/emoticons/default_wub.gif" alt=":wub:"></p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong><span style="color:rgb(175,238,238);">I guess as a little introduction for you all to get to know me...</span></strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>I gamed with KSI for over a year before I ended up joining.  For those of you familiar with the pack, I gamed with KSI ATL 7, KSI Dramatic 7, <a data-ipb="nomediaparse" href="" http: rel="external nofollow">KSIxAPOCALYPSE7</a>, KSI Skillz 7, and a real life friend of mine who was my recruiter and ultimate reason why I joined KSI DN4STY (originally Doc Nasty) who was a combat medic for the Army (you'll see the connection soon enough).  We all have some sort of recruiting story to go along with how we all ended up here, so I'll leave mine at that, if you'd like to know just holla.  I ended up getting recruited into <a data-ipb="nomediaparse" href="" http: rel="external nofollow"><strong>Demise, Dark Legions</strong></a> coming up under those very same leaders.  Split Demise twice and nearly a third and was in DL for two division splits (Forced Induction &amp; Royal Prophecy) and nearly a third (Tainted Matrix) before I was illegally transfered (while I was away on an op) to <a data-ipb="nomediaparse" href="" http: rel="external nofollow">Forced Induction</a> to help <a data-ipb="nomediaparse" href="" http: rel="external nofollow">Azrael 7</a> over there.  I was a cofounder for ~10 months before picking up Founder over there (so I feel for those of you who've been in a single rank for a min).  </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Eventually rose up through the ranks through there.  I've done a few things here and there... know my way around KSI thoroughly and have been around the block, so I'd like to think I'd be pretty helpful for most of your questions should you have any.  Once things settle down and are in place, I'll be able to get with you all and others more frequently.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm an active duty <strong><span style="color:rgb(0,0,255);">US Navy</span></strong> <em><strong><span style="color:rgb(0,255,0);">Corpsman</span></strong></em>.  No, I've never served on a ship oddly enough, but rather did most of my time with the <strong><span style="color:rgb(0,128,0);"><em>Marines</em></span></strong>.  I'm not trying to promote the military or anything, but if yall have any questions or thinking of joining the military and would like perspective of someone who's been in for a while just hmu and we can rap it up sometime whether via forum pm, email, or xbl.  I'm also a volunteer everything it seems lol.  Father of a beautiful 2 yo old baby girl who is my world with one more on the way!  She knows when I'm on the mic so if you hear some jibber jabber in the background, that's her sayin wassup yo <img src="https://www.ksiforums.org/uploads/emoticons/default_tongue.png" alt=":P">  I am also pretty new to the KSI <span style="color:rgb(255,165,0);">Productions Team</span> and still learning the ropes to editing vids and what not.  I have a couple projects I'm already working on.  With all that being said and with my time online is short and I do my best to prioritize to meet everyone's needs.  Somewhere in there I do get some games in.  If I don't get to you right away, please be patient and understand I'm literally everywhere lol.  Just drop me a message anywhere and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#dda0dd;">A little about your division </span><em><strong><span style="color:#800080;">ELITE FORCES</span></strong></em><span style="color:#dda0dd;">:</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#dda0dd;">* <strong>This was a huge undertaking</strong> - to create</span><span style="color:#add8e6;"> <strong>KSI's FIRST Xbox One division</strong></span><span style="color:#dda0dd;">.  After gathering as much information as we could about which members will be getting which consoles around drop dates (PS4/X1) we were able to allow some divisions develop project squads.  Of the many project squads that were created at the time, there are 3 squads that were clearly stronger and showed the most promise which was</span><span style="color:#ffa07a;"><strong> Inferno DM (now Assassins EF), Shogun IO (now Shogun EF), and Intake FI (now Legion EF)</strong></span><span style="color:#dda0dd;">.  This is not your usual division.  Aside from being the ONLY X1 division with the ONLY X1 squads in KSI,<strong> the creation of this division was unprecedented</strong>.  This was not your usual division split or even classic means of creation.  You all are coming from different areas of KSI brought together by a common console and idea.... to be in the forefront of KSI's future.  Just as 1st gen xbox was replaced by xbox 360, so too will 360 be phased out and xbox one will take center stage among the dominant consoles.  <strong>This is a very interesting time and we have the fertile ground to really take off and set the ground work for KSI to enter the new console era</strong>. THATS YOU GUYS! Simply by banning together, being active, and working together to make this division successful --- you're laying the foundation for KSI to remain strong and step into the future.  Congratulations &amp; THANK YOU for all that you do to make this work.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#dda0dd;">* After many proposals and alterations to planning, I was able to piece together something that could work (see above)... and you all, Elite Forces, are the result of that proposal.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#dda0dd;">* I can't take all the credit for creating this division.  Those who lead this division right now were invaluable to making this a success.  Those names are: </span><strong><a data-ipb="nomediaparse" href="" http: rel="external nofollow"><span style="color:#00ff00;">KSI PR3DATOR 7</span></a><span style="color:#00ff00;">, </span><a data-ipb="nomediaparse" href="" http: rel="external nofollow"><span style="color:#00ff00;">KSI Muramasa</span></a><span style="color:#00ff00;">, </span><a data-ipb="nomediaparse" href="" http: rel="external nofollow"><span style="color:#00ff00;">KSI FuzzyFins</span></a><span style="color:#00ff00;">.  KSI HUCKLBERRY7</span></strong><span style="color:#dda0dd;"> was also an integral part in making this happen as well.  Other directors who have assisted with the division creation process are </span><strong><a data-ipb="nomediaparse" href="" http: rel="external nofollow"><span style="color:#00ff00;">KSI PARATROOP 7</span></a></strong><span style="color:#dda0dd;"> and<strong> </strong></span><strong><a data-ipb="nomediaparse" href="" http: rel="external nofollow"><span style="color:#00ff00;">KSI Jupiter 7</span></a></strong><span style="color:#dda0dd;"> (your former director). </span></p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I apologize for the length <img src="http://ksiforums2.ksiglobal.netdna-cdn.com/public/style_emoticons/default/Talking%20Ear%20Off.gif" title=":Talking Ear Off:" alt="Talking%20Ear%20Off.gif"> , but <span style="color:rgb(255,0,0);"><strong>I don't want to be a stranger to you all</strong></span>.  Whether I'm over you all the entire time I'm a director or not, I'll still be around for sure.  Clearly, I'm a <span style="color:rgb(255,165,0);"><strong>KSI for life</strong></span> kinda guy so hate it or love it....I'm here for better or worse till death do us part  <img src="https://www.ksiforums.org/uploads/emoticons/default_cool.gif" alt=":cool:">  #marriedtothegame    </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I don't think I could possibly be like any other director you've ever had.  We all bring something different to the table.  I have a lil flavor I put on everything and yall will see soon enough what that means.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So for now, I'll leave it at that.  I hope to meet all of you in due time.  Until then, how about we all get to meet each other through this thread and all do our own introductions.  It can be as lengthy or short as you like.  I do read practically everything on the forums and spend a good chunk of time on here.  </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Here goes...</strong> <span style="color:rgb(255,165,0);">Who are you</span><span style="color:rgb(0,255,255);">?</span></p>

<p><span style="color:rgb(255,165,0);">What do you expect from me as your Director</span><span style="color:rgb(0,255,255);">?</span></p>
