KSI Tea 7

I have been thinking of what to talk about, Asuma. As someone who has worked with him as an equals, and then as a Department head, this man has his heart in the right place. I can't speak about his Clan Ops career, but I can talk about his career in departments. When Asuma was promoted to head, I had a good feeling about him being in the position, and I was not wrong. Since working with him, he has been thinking about innovating the department, from getting KSI on Tiktok to custom panels and adding sounds and emotes in our streams. If a member came to him asking to learn how to stream, he would teach them, explaining the right parts a member might need for their computer. Even how to use OBS and other streaming tools. Asuma has taught me how to stream myself. I had an idea, but he would go into detail, ensuring I understood. Not only can he stream, but he can also edit videos which are always a KSI favorite. His skill is seen through his hard work with KSI and his personal stream.
Watching how Asuma talks to his members is a model for other leaders; he is always polite, honest, and understanding. Asuma has been coined for taking members who can be challenging and making them thrive. From my own experience, I have seen those members join and thrive under his leadership. When working with others, he is far better than me at times, haha! Always messages you as soon as he can, is flexible with his time, and is always down for new ideas. I have come to him about several, and I mean several, and he always is excited to work it out with me. I don't think there is anyone else that deserves OS1 and OS2. His dedication to Production has been there since the beginning, and it hasn't left.

Senior Leader (SENIOR DIRECTOR through CEO)
Gamertag (Rank - Division/Squad) - KSI Tea 7
Link to forums account - @KSI Tea 7
Reasoning why they deserve this - This woman has done soooo much for department ops! She has worked to revive multiple departments to higher states. Tea is always in parties and chats with her staff offering insights and make time to be there if people need a ear to listen. She continues to make strides to improve the department ops in many ways. Tea has made waves in creating a place for all the members under her to thrive. I would write a whole 1 page essay about why she deserves this award, but my fingers would hurt. She is more than deserving of this award!
 
Division Leader
Gamertag (Rank - Division/Squad) - KSI WldMama7
Link to forums account - @KSI WldMama7
Reasoning why they deserve this - Words cannot describe how much work this woman has put in to make her division thrive! Mama is always in parties chatting it up with the members. She spends a lot of time making sure that all of her officers are trained up and progressing. Mama is always willing to help anyone in any capacity with any issues they have. There is not a day that goes by that Mama is not in a party or finding ways to include her members. Love you Mama!
 
Captain
Gamertag (Rank - Division/Squad) - KSI Akame 7
Link to forums account - @KSI Akame 7
Reasoning why they deserve this - This ugly mug! Nah, time after time I have been amazed by the hard work that Akame puts in. He spreads his time between being head of T&E and now a General. Coming from someone that has done that in the past, it is not easy to do. Akame has done a great job with working with his officers to make sure they can be the best version of themselves. He always makes time for his officers and members in his squad. Keep up the great work kiddo!
 
Department Member 
Gamertag (Rank - Area) - KSI Topdog - Streamer
Link to forums account - @KSITOPDOGS
Reasoning why they deserve this - Topdogs has done such a great job with finding time to be an officer and do what he has done in Productions. He continues to find ways to learn and grow in his roles. Top has been a great asset to the team and is a great help to his fellow department members. He is a sponge. He soaks up all the information that he gets and is able to release it onto the other members of the department. Keep up the great work!

This fella is definitely super deserving of OS 1 (IMO 2 as well! BUMP THIS MAN UP LOYALTY!!) He's always around, engaged, and reaching out to folks and setting up fun events to stream. Cheers Asuma, you a real Amish lad homie. Unfortunately I'm not as familiar with his vast Clan Ops accomplishments. But he's got great stories and that's how you know Asuma's seen some real shiit ya feel me

I would like to also say that @KSIxAsuma 77 is a great mentor and has helped me and dose nothing but bing everyone in productions up. He definitely deserves this. 

As this man’s boss @KSIxAsuma 77  well deserves this award. He has not only trained Darthon BUT several other members and even myself. Asuma is one of those 7s who takes part in training all his members. When it comes to OBs and editing this dude helps teach anyone who will listen. This man is an amazing mentor and has established a very successful department and it shows. 

Let’s go CS!!!

Gamertag (Rank - Division/Squad) - KSI Tea 7 CDM BoD
 
Link to forums account - @KSI Tea 7
 
Reasoning why they deserve this - Plain and simple Tea is freaking amazing. She’s also under valued throughout the community, which is seriously a damned shame. The amount of work that Tea puts into Departments to make sure EVERYTHING runs as smoothly as possible is ridiculous. This woman is EVERYWHERE. When issues arise, she fixes them, when we need something pushed out, she pushes them. When we have ideas, she makes them happen while expanding on it to make it 10 times better. Tea has got to be the absolute best CDM KSI has had since the Scotland era (IYKYK), hands down. Her amount of love for all of us brats is never ending, even if we irritate the ever loving hell out of her. She’s always here for the members, and for that, I will forever be grateful.  
 
 
 
General
 
Gamertag (Rank - Division/Squad) - KSI StarFire, Abaddon/WD GEN
 
Link to forums account - @KSI StarFire
 
Reasoning why the deserve this - Not to sound ridiculous, but Star is Star studded. She is the epitome of what a General should be within the community. She is loving, caring, and dependable, while still being able to be a hardass. She’s always putting in the OT with her squad and staff. She’s conquered mountains and obstacles that have been thrown in her way when it comes to staff, or a lack thereof. Shes honestly why Abaddon works so blasted well. The time and effort she puts in, while being a full time college student, and a stay at home mom, is unreal. There’s never a moment that I have to worry about anything really dealing with her squad, because I know 99.999999999% of the time, she’s already got it handled. Did I mention she’s stupidly smart too? This woman can train with the best of them. She’s just all around, well, phenomenal.

Gamertag (Rank - Division/Squad) - KSI xSmitty, Carnage/WD CPT
 
Link to forums account - @KSI xSmitty
 
Reasoning why they deserve this - Holy flippin bad mitten grandma where do I start? Smitty is why, when it comes to Carnage, this squad is still open. Plain and simple. His love for our members, and this community vies mine. He’s stubborn, hard headed, and doesn’t take no for an answer. And he loves a challenge…. (Who does this sound like?????) Smit rejoined KSI back in Jan of 23. Ever since, he’s been like Speed Racer within WD. He trains, he hosts stuff, he trains some more. He pulls morale to a high I havent seen in Carnage since before they came over here from SL and rebranded. He’s always thinking outside of the box too. We try to make WD a well rounded Division, to do that, you need to incorporate everyone, and he does just that. He reaches out to other squads and gets them involved in whatever shenanigans we have going on at that point in time. I could honestly write a small novella about why Smitty deserves this award, and much much more, but I’ll save the space for someone else to do it. Just know, he will be a force to be reckoned with within KSI. 
 
 
 
LT
 
Gamertag (Rank - Division/Squad) - KSI JaxyBoi, Vanquish/WD LT
 
Link to forums account - @KSI JaxyBoi
 
Reasoning why they deserve this - Jaxy is an amazement. To see where he came from to what he is now, and to know I had a huge hand in it, utterly amazes me. I have watched this man grow and flourish within the community, and have loved every waking minute of it. Jax loves his squad, and it shows in everything he does. He never backs down or says he doesn’t have time. He will ALWAYS make the time for these guys. He has a huge following of respect from his members, which is why he continues to drive and show a dedication that honestly brings a smile to my face. Jax is knowledgeable, and it shows in his training sessions. He’s got a wicked sense of humor, and can make the tightest lipped person smile on the gloomiest of days. He is a big reason why Vanquish still works well, and I’m hella proud of what he continues to do.  
 
 
 
SSGT
 
Gamertag (Rank - Division/Squad) - KSI Rouge 77, Carnage/WD SSGT
 
Link to forums account - @KSI Rogue 77
 
Reasoning why they deserve this - Rogue, she's a special kind of staff member. To be honest, she didn't even want to really be on the staff. But alas, help was needed and she stepped up to the plate. Rogue is a quiet closed off kind of person. It takes a lot to break through that turtle tough style shell. She did it though! In the time she's been here, she's become an outgoing, loving person who just wants what's best for Carnage. Whether that be someone to hangout with on crappy Among Us, or we need a PO trained, she's right there. Rogue has been a hella good help with everyone, and keeps the staff together and on their toes. I love what she's done, and she absolutely has a bright future within WD. 
 
 
 
SGT
 
Gamertag (Rank - Division/Squad) - KSI BLITZ11, Carnage /WD SSGT
 
Link to forums account - @KSI Blitz11
 
Reasoning why they deserve this - Man, Blitz is all over the place. Between Web and Clan Ops this man is NON-FREAKING-STOP. I swear he NEVER slows down. Even before he hit the staff, he was exceptionally helpful to Carnage. No matter the situation, Blitz is ALWAYS willing to help. He's working 60+ hours a week, STILL hosts gamenights, actively recruits, runs the join/rejoin section, and does whatever we need him to do. Honestly, I'm really happy he's back to what he does best, even if he's already got a full plate. He's an asset to the Carnage staff, and WD as a whole and absolutely deserves this award.

Gamertag (Rank - Division/Squad) - KSI Assualt1, Carnage/WD, SGT
 
Link to forums account - @assaultman1
 
Reasoning why they deserve this - Oh man, Assault is such a sweetheart. Whenever he is on, he doesn't hesitate to jump into a party with any member. He's always cheery and outgoing, and definitely can bring a smile to your face. He doesn't mind hopping off whatever he's playing to come and hang out with the squad either, which is a fantastic trait to have. He's also exceptionally helpful to the staff. Primo example right here. During Spring Break we have the infamous Forums Challenge. This man was in the thick of it with the staff pulling members in the party jumping around to remind and take members through how to vote and post for everything. He obviously didn't have to do this, but his love for Carnage pushed him to go above and beyond to help and make sure that we got the votes. He is a huge asset to Carnage, and WD, and we are very thankful to have him. 
 
 
 
Admins/Senior Mods/Department Heads/Senior Forums Staff
 
Gamertag (Rank - Area) - KSI Path 7, Discord Mod
 
Link to forums account - @KSI Path 7
 
Reasoning why they deserve this - It's really hard to talk about a discord mod because people don't see what they really do for our community. Path is a huge asset to KSI, and does a whole lot of work behind the scenes. He's a General in WD, the LC Administrative guy, and a Senior Discord Mod, while also working full time, and being a father and husband. All of these things together doesn't stop him from being damned good at what he does. When it comes to the discord side of things, being a past IT guy in the military helps. He's RIDICULOUSLY smart with the program, and is always available.It Doesn't matter if he's in the middle of anything either, he's always at our beck and call. He's taken several of our servers to a new level and has some amazing ideas for future usage. I know that many people in KSI don't get to see the work that Path does like some of us do, but he is valuable in all aspects. Without him, I dare say many things wouldn't work correctly or at least get fixed as quickly as possible, insert the Annual Event server. Thank you for what you do around here Pathy.

Gamertag (Rank - Division/Squad) - KSI Tea 7 - CDM
Link to forums account - @KSI Tea 7
Reasoning why they deserve this - This woman deserves this for the simple fact that she could quite easily go insane with the amount of knowledge required for her role as the CDM as she has to know exactly how each and every department works thoroughly to be able to ensure that every aspect of the department section is running effieciently and that any issues that may need her attention are dealt with effectively and efficiently and that all parties involved are satisfied with the results as well as the fact that she has to deal with myself and paradox who no doubt give her the worst headaches!
 
Co-Founder
Gamertag (Rank - Division/Squad) - KSI WldMama 7 - COFO/ES
Link to forums account - @KSI WldMama7
Reasoning why they deserve this - in the relatively short amount of time that i have been able top work with Mama in the Clan ops scene i can clearly tell that not only has she got the knowledge to effectively run the division but she has the passion and the drive to keep pushing forward irregardless of whatever adversity rears its head and yet what i find the most important reason for Mama to be deserving of this award is that she truly cares about each and every member within ES even if we do irritate her and test her sanity most days
 
General
Gamertag (Rank - Division/Squad) - KSI Wu Tang General - ES/Valkyrie
Link to forums account - @Mr. Wu Tang
Reasoning why the deserve this - this man is phenomenal, his work ethic is second to none and i swear to god if he didnt have real life commitments or have to eat and sleep this man would be on the job 24/7 which is genuinely outstanding yet he know that he needs to take a break from it every now and then to make sure he doesnt burn himself out and he is a fine example of a leader because he has the integrity to follow up on everything he says he will do and if he know he cant deliver on something he says he will do he always informs you with plenty of notice and instantly rearranges for a better time to do it, he als o leads by example by doing the same things he tasks his officers with that is why i believe that Wu Tang deserves this award
 
Captain
Gamertag (Rank - Division/Squad) - KSI TOPDOGS Captain - ES/Valkyrie
Link to forums account - @Topdogs12
Reasoning why they deserve this - Top is a hard working individual that is constantly striving for knowledge and trying to better himself to be the best officer he can be for his members and regardless of his rank he is humble in everything he does and remains to stay as professional as possible to ensure that he makes sure every member is happy and comfortable and most of all that they are enjoying there experiience in KSI his only downside is that he feels that he has to do everything which isnt a bad thing but he can learn to do a lot more and be the best he can be
 
 

Department:GRAPHICS 
Gamertag:KSI SHWAY
Link to Profile; @KSI Shway
 
Qualifications:
Nominee’s Current Rank:GRAPHIC MENTOR 
Has Nominee been in this department for at least six (6) months?YES
Has Nominee been in KSI for at least one (1) year? YES 
What can I say? Shway has a significant influence on the graphics team and deserves the award. Through many months and I mean many, he has stuck with it and has been a strong team player in the department. He was one of the originals who helped make it what it is today. Through several difficult times, he's been able to indeed be there for the members of the Senior staff, and I belive he will continue to do a good job.

With 1/6 of the year behind us, we welcome in time change and the release of our "Inner Irish". Since Valentines was full of fun and excitement, March brings us a two for one SYTYCW Event! You can answer both questions, as there will be TWO winners for the month of March! 
 
1. What is your favorite St. Patrick's Day celebration/event that you participate in?
 
2. What are your plans for the upcoming Spring Break time away from school? 
 
 
Everyone within KSI is encouraged to participate in the monthly SYTYCW, as the member's Division that wins earns Div Cup points!
Please be detailed, but don't feel you have to write a novel! A paragraph or two will be sufficient to count as a submission. 
This topic will also be found in the KSI Community Discord server, but only 1 submission per person is allowed! 
 
This Topic will be opened until March 29, 2023!

My inner Irish is always apparent if you saw me the freckles and auburn hair give it away. But my favorite memory of attending a ST Patricks day event was in middle school when we had Irish dancers coming in to do the jigs and hear the bag pipes I always thought it was so cool with all the foot work involved in those dances. I practiced for months afterwards trying to get the steps right. We couldnt afford for me to join the Irish dance team to really learn how it was done but I did my darndest to teach myself. This was nearly 40 yrs ago and I remember it to this day that feeling of awe and inspiration has never gone away when I think back on it!
Spring Break for me will be if the weather cooperates the season to get my flower beds and garden areas cleared up and ready for planting. The semi retirement is going to give me alot more time to get my yard and gardens the way I want. Designing the look and begining to execute it will be how I spend my spring break unless I am out on the river fishing and filling my fridge and freeze with some delicious perch and crappie. Spring has truly arrived when I am able to go fishing and enjoy the wind and waves peacefulness of watching  nature waking up after a long winter!!
 

For 1 day only on St Valentines Day this thread will be open and to let the AAP Dept show you some love by giving you the 2023 Vday award all you need to do is comment the word 'Love' and we will take care of the rest ❤️ 

What KSI means to me…
Well I’ve met so many awesome people and though not every aspect of the community is perfect, it was worth sticking around for. KSI has become part of my everyday life and I can’t see myself without it. 

It was a place especially early on where I could get away from the stresses of real life. Honestly having been here as long as I have, it's just great the amount of true friends I have made. People I still talk to that I started talking to over a decade ago. It's wild. 
 
 

What does KSI mean to you?
 
To me KSI isn't just about Knowledge Strength and Integrity it's family we spends minutes, hours, days, weeks and hours of our lives with these people we've grown to known over the years and in my case my KSI family is a lot more closer to me than some of my RL family.
 
I have a few families here my BoD family, my Web Ops Family, my AAP Family, and my people that I've met here but each of them mean something different to me but the one thing they have in common is that they mean the world to me 
 
But now is the time I wanna hear what you all have to say!
 

Ever since I first started gaming with KSI it’s always been about love, kindness, and friendship. For the past 2 weeks I’ve met many members some of which I can really call my friends. It’s past gaming it’s a brotherhood/sisterhood a place where we can forget about real life troubles and ease our pain/ emotions with our friendships. I’m thankful to have ran thru some of you guys and thanks for reminding me what gaming is all about. Yours Truly.
i Guawalla i

KSI is best described as family to me. I may not have the same love for gaming like I use to. When I first joined I was pulling 10 hour days for months on end not a day here and their.  just hanging out and playing games. but with the state of modern games keep going down hill which makes it hard to enjoy with the bugs and glitches becoming more persistent and dreadful. But I continue to try and find ways to give back to the community that's been there for me thru hard times and good. And hope to continue this trend until it closes it doors on me 

Was scared when I join. Umm. But I'm not. I love it here. We play games all the time. And it's amazing. The ppl are so nice 

I was not a part of KSI in 2022, however I have been in the past. My best memory of the past was meeting so many awesome people and finding my core group of friends that I still stick around to this day. This year my goal is to further my tenure in KSI and to try and get a higher rank than I was previously. I want to be able to help other members out in any way that I am able to, helping them to grow as individuals as well as within the community.
