KSI Siren82

Director Gamertag (Rank - Division/Squad) - KSI Gruntier 7 Link to forums account - @KSI Gruntier 7 Reasoning why they deserve this - Grunt is a dedicated Director. He works closely with both his divisions. He leads by example and while he makes sure he gets good results, he is friendly and approachable. Division Leader Gamertag (Rank - Division/Squad) - KSI Romeo 7 DM Link to forums account - @KSIxROMEO 7 Reasoning why they deserve this - Romeo is dedicated to the members and is available to deal with a crisis at the drop of a hat. He makes himself available at work for issues that crop up, or just to hang out with the members. He listens to people's ideas and helps get them going. He looks for ways to keep members engaged and to encourage everyone to do the same. Romeo does not expect more from anyone else than he is willing to do himself. He was out there recruiting with us and bringing in new members while he asked us to do the same. Co-Founder Gamertag (Rank - Division/Squad) - KSI DREW 7 (Co-Founder DM) Link to forums account - @KSI DREW 7 Reasoning why they deserve this - He is supportive and a fountain of knowledge. He gives me the space to figure things out for myself, but steps in when I need it and is always ready to buckle down and get the work done. He promotes positivity throughout the Division and works to get everyone involved. He goes above and beyond and is always working on new ideas to better the squads, division and the community such as the Division wide recruit night. We had our first one this past month and it was a success on a couple of fronts. Some recruits were brought in, it promoted a positive atmosphere around recruiting, a long-time CPL hopped in the party and did some recruiting and it was a learning opportunity for all the officers, tips and advice were shared in the moment. He does not shy away from the hard conversations and will call out anything he feels is unjust or unproductive. The members and what is best for them is his main focus. General Gamertag (Rank - Division/Squad) - KSI Shocker (GEN - DM/Cruelty) Link to forums account - @KSI Shocker Shocker is a calm force who is very committed to his squad and ensuring they are all having the best experience. He prioritises their needs and works hard at bettering his squad. He will drop what he is doing to take care of his squad. I've seen him do this quite a few times over the month. This man does it all and is always looking to learn and grow. Captain Gamertag (Rank - Division/Squad) - KSI LadySatan (CPT - DM/Wrath) Link to forums account - @KSI LadySatan Reasoning why they deserve this - LadySatan is a fantastic Captain. She rang in the new year with her promotion to Captain and has shown it was well deserved. She knows all our members, hops on promotions and is always looking for opportunities to learn. She loves to recruit and she is always in a party playing with the members. She's downloaded games specifically to be able to play with members to keep them company in a game. LT Gamertag (Rank - Division/Squad) - KSI TiMBERKiNG (LT - DM/Wrath) Link to forums account - @KSI TiMBERKiNG Timber is a stellar guy, really chill and fun in a party. He has really put some effort into learning things he wasn't sure about and has been trying to push himself out of his comfort zones. He also took up Destiny 2 to be able to play with our members and tries to bring new gamenight options to the table. SGT Gamertag (Rank - Division/Squad) - KSI HGrizzly (SGT - DM/Wrath) Link to forums account - @KSI HGrizzly Reasoning why they deserve this - Hiber is an excellent SGT, he is very active in the squad, fun to have in a party, regularly participating in gamenights, has recommended a friend to join, is happy to help out in any game mode if another player has something they're trying to accomplish and doesn't judge based on ability. Department Member Gamertag (Rank - Division/Squad) - KSI xMinion (SGT - DW Elysium - News & Marketing) Link to forums account - @Minion xo Reasoning why they deserve this - Minion has really stepped up this month. Despite having a lot going on she has finished articles for this month and has started working ahead on a couple. She also stepped up in marketing in a tricky moment, making sure everyone had content to spread out across the discord servers and social media. Member KSI refined (CPT - DM/Sinister) Link to forums account - @KSI refined Reasoning why they deserve this - refined is a fantastic member. He is very visible in the Division - everyone knows him and loves him. He has an amazing attitude, a great sense of humour and is a force of positivity. I think he has the ability to go far in KSI.

Its alliiive! Go write your paper @KSI Uppish.

Category: Senior Leader Gamertag: KSI December 77 Forums Account Link / @: @December Reasons they deserve this award: December is always striving for ways to make this community better. He has been dedicated to making the Departments less insular and more of a part of the community – member oriented. December has so much knowledge and is always happy to impart it, frequently going above and beyond to get the information out to members. We were having a meeting and the topic of the newly revamped forums class came up. He was sent a message asking about it and about 15 minutes later he was in the party and we were learning. He is always available to help and if he can’t help you, he will make sure you are connected with the best person for the job. December trained me for the News Department and has taken all of his good qualities from his position as head there to the board. He is patient, but honest and will tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. Category: Director Gamertag: KSI Gruntier 7 Forums Account Link / @: @KSI Gruntier 7 Reasons they deserve this award: He is a patient man. He listens and considers all sides of an issue. This is evident in always calm, well-reasoned responses to issues that arise. He is friendly and available, despite being very busy. I haven’t spent a lot of time with him, but every interaction has been a positive one. Category: Division Lead Gamertag: KSIxRomeo 7 Forums Account Link / @: @KSIxROMEO 7 Reasons they deserve this award: Honestly, I was kind of afraid of Romeo for a while. Maybe intimidated is a better word for it. But, over the last year I have come to realise that he is one of the friendliest and welcoming members of our community. He runs popular game nights with squads and is always playing with all of the members at all levels of the organisation, joking around with them. He also balances the fun with an ability to deal with tricky situations with a firm, but calm hand. He is frequently the voice of reason and doesn’t like to beat around the bush. Romeo always makes himself available – that man hops on at work to make sure that issues are dealt with and important questions are answered promptly. He will talk you through it in voice chat rather than a text to ensure that nothing gets lost in the interpretation of a text. He is dedicated to KSI and ensuring everyone has the best experience here as possible. He is a huge reason KSI feels like a family for so many. Category:Co-Founder Gamertag: KSI Trixie 7 Forums Account Link / @: @KSI Trixie 7 Reasons they deserve this award: Trixie hasn’t been a Co-Fo very long, but she has stood out to me. She has been visible in parties and the discord chats from the get go, not just the casual chats. What really makes her stand out for me is that as an officer she noticed the lack of classes being made available in the Division and now, as a Co-Fo she is making sure they are happening regularly so that everyone has the learning opportunities they need to grow and thrive if they so choose. Category: General Gamertag: KSI WHISKEY7 Forums Account Link / @: @KSI WHISKEY 7 Reasons they deserve this award: Whiskey is a long time friend of mine, but this is in no way a vote of obligation or favouritism. Whiskey goes above and beyond in every role he is in in KSI. If I could I would be nominating him for Captain OTY and Department member OTY as well, but the rules are the rules, so I digress. As the inaugural General of Wrath he worked diligently to get Discord to the point they could split and then worked equally hard to build Wrath up to the amazing squad it is now. Not only does he work hard, but he also inspires others to do more and be more than they thought they could. He built up an incredible staff of hard working officers and encourages others to get involved in the squad and the departments. While he works hard and asks the same of others, he is also the first to encourage others to make sure they take a break, delegate and not burn out. He is a top recruiter, bringing in amazing new members and is always happy to train and impart knowledge. He created a training program while in Discord and implemented it in his own squad ensuring all officers, as they come up, have the knowledge and tools they need to succeed. He also encourages all other officers to take time and disseminate their own knowledge to help mentor those coming up the ranks after them. Whiskey is the first to hop in chats and get people involved in events. He is always helping other players advance in their games and his game nights are always inclusive and a blast. He is always coming up with ideas to promote positivity and connect the members. For example Wrath Reach Week where every night one week was cohosted with a different squad in DM, forging new friendships and quite frankly bringing the squads closer together. He also created a forums thread to promote positivity and encourages shouting people out to show your appreciation outside of awards nominations. I cannot think of anyone more deserving. Category: Captain Gamertag: KSI JonahAlex12 Forums Account Link / @: @KSI JonahAlex12 Reasons they deserve this award: JonahAlex rose through the ranks quite quickly after the creation of Wrath. He is fun in a party and really loves playing with the members, keeping crazy hours for someone living in the UK in order to participate in squad activities and events. He is thirsty for knowledge and has branched out into Departments ops in order to find new ways to engage in the community and its members. Category: Lieutenant Gamertag: KSI LadySatan Forums Account Link / @: @KSI LadySatan Reasons they deserve this award: Sometimes you don’t realise how much LadySatan is doing until you look at stat chat and see a sea of her name. She quietly and diligently does the work and doesn’t ask for any praise or acknowledgement. She will hop in and volunteer when no someone else has real life get in the way of a task. She is an amazing recruiter, frequently bringing in multiple new members at a time and integrating them into the squad. She is engaging and will happily try out any game with a member. Her schedule doesn’t always allow her to participate in classes, but whenever one is available for her she is the first to volunteer to sign up. She wants to know more and is striving to be the best officer she can be. KSI LadySatan goes above and beyond and deserves this award. Category: SGT Gamertag: KSI TiMBERKiNG Forums Account Link / @: @KSI TiMBERKiNG Reasons they deserve this award: Timber is always an asset to any team he is on, bringing positivity and a love for the community. He was an officer in Discord and had to step down because real life happens. He is stepping up again now as a Wrath officer and I am so happy to have him working along side me again. As a SGT though he stands out as someone who is inclusive and friendly. It doesn’t matter your skill level he is happy to play with you and teach you the ropes. He truly embodies leaving no KSI member behind. Category: CPL Gamertag: infinityhunt Forums Account Link / @: @Infinityhunt Reasons they deserve this award: Who doesn’t love infinityhunt! He may try to downplay it, but he is an amazing member, playing with a wide variety of people on a wide variety of games. His love of participating in events, weekend warfares and head hunters is fantastic – everyone enjoys cheering infinityhunt on the twitch streams. He has lovingly been dubbed our “home town hero”. He has been named member of the month in our squad multiple times. He is also a crazy font of knowledge about the games he plays and is willing to share that knowledge with anyone playing, or considering playing a game. He is also one to embody no member left behind, as he helps you farm or work on a character even if he doesn’t need to himself. He will abandon whatever he is doing to hop in another game if he thinks he can help you. All around he is a fun member to hang out with and an asset to this community. Category: Department Member Gamertag: KSI Uppish Forums Account Link / @: @KSI Uppish Reasons they deserve this award: Uppish is another person I could put up for multiple OTMs but he stands out to me as a member of the departments. He is always promoting the work they do and works diligently on his duties. He is ever present in the community and everywhere on the forums. Uppish is genuinely excited about all aspects of KSI and what the Departments do to make that possible. He is full of ideas and always has the answers to your questions, or will find them for you and will make suggestions when you didn’t even realise you were looking for a solution (that is some crazy talent there). He is impartial, fair and the first to recognise someone else’s outstanding efforts. Category: Member Gamertag: KSIDntAskImAwfl Forums Account Link / @: @KSIdontask Reasons they deserve this award: The truth of the matter is that I don’t know Pam as well as I should, or want to. I haven’t had a lot of contact with her for various reasons and it is something I am hoping to rectify. Despite that, I still know that she is very deserving of this award. She is loved in DM, really and truly loved. She mentors, she comforts, she is a shoulder to cry on or lean on for so many, she has been many ranks and knows/performs them well. She is a leader, even when she isn’t in a leadership position. She is family to so many people here in KSI. I can’t think of anyone more deserving.

DM!!!!

Gamer tag- KSI Trixie Forums link - @KSI Trixie Award: Outstanding Service Level 1 Reasoning: KSI Trixie is very deserving of this award. She worries and cares for her Squad and Division. She wants the very best and goes above and beyind to provide it. Trixie is committed to learning and passing on that knowledge. The week after completing her Train the Trainer course and the Forums Certified class she was turning around and teaching the course herself. When she wanted to take Lead 101 and the numbers were dwindling she reached out and made sure the class happened. Even when facing irl challenges she puts things aside to hop into KSI business and help out our members, whether it is in a game, finding something on the forums or helping with any other problem or concern. Trixie is always a positive force in a party with her bubbly, contagious laughter and sense of humor. She doesn't take herself too seriously and is willing to try anything: participating in Spring Break, auditioning for Karaoke for Fall Classic (volunteered to go first when everyone was too nervous), jumping into her role in productions and streaming some really fun content. Trixie's fairly recent promotion to General I think speaks volumes and she was also an integral part of growing Discord squad towards its split, as well as being the driving force behind its current growth. When we were having problems with our recruiting method, she shared tips and tricks from her sales experience to help the squad refine our messaging and chats with potential recruits. In her first month as General she was awarded General of the month. She has also won Lieutenant of the Month. Trixie truly is an outstanding member.

KSIxROMEo 7 @KSIxROMEO 7 Outstanding Service Lvl 2 Romeo, without a doubt, deserves this award. Holding the position of Div Lead, Co-Fo over 3 squads, and acting General over 2 squads he also managed to hold the role of acting General over Discord while we went through a leadership transition and then helped us with our split. He is upfront, honest and doesn't suffer fools, but handles them politely and with grace. If there is an issue he is quick to respond. When it is clear something needs to be handled he will have you in a meeting within a few hours, speak to the issue, listen to everyone and have solutions in place. He will even hop on through the app at work to handle questions and issues that arise that requires more than a text response. Romeo is happy to give of his time and wisdom to this division and KSI. Romeo is also known for his great capacity for fun with the members. He hops in game nights and parties to either play with the members on the xbox or have a good laugh over the app. Romeo embodies KSI and all it stands for, his dedication is admirable and he is an outstanding mentor and role model to all the leaders of DM.

Division Leader Gamertag KSIxROMEO 7 (Div Lead - DM) Link to forums account - @KSIxROMEO 7 Reasoning why they deserve this - Romeo is a fantastic division leader. He is acting general over a couple of squads and co-fo, on top of his division leader duties but still manages to get back to you quickly if there are issues to be dealt with, hold an impromptu meeting when something needs to be addressed immediately and play with the members. All this while being approachable and a pleasure to chat with. General KSI Trixie (General - DM/Discord) - Link to forums account - @Trixie Reasoning why the deserve this - While very new to the position Trixie is doing a fantastic job. She makes time for any and all of her members, is dedicated to her squad's participation and is advocating for learning opportunities, both for herself to grow as General, and for all of her members. She is both approachable and fun. Members love to hop in a party and hang out, but also feel comfortable enough to bring any issues they have to her. She really cares about her members and what could be more important than that? Captain KSI Whiskey82 (General - DM/Wrath) - Link to forums account - @KSI WHISKEY82 Reasoning why they deserve this - Whiskey works really hard for KSI and is always coming up with ideas for the betterment of the squad and the community overall. He has been a stabilizing force in Discord while shifts in leadership have happened. He helped grow Discord to a point where it was ready to split with his recruiting prowess and created a SSGT training program that leaves new officers feeling more confident going into their first promotions, recruits and gamenight co-hosting duties. He is always striving to learn and cares about the dissemination of knowledge to the ranks below him as well as the member experience over all. He is also someone that all the members love to game with- always the life of the party! He has also branched out into the departments and is encouraging other members to do so as well.

@ZoRDoNoF3LTaR do you usually name your soup after the crackers? Maybe the noodles, never the crackers. Don't you dare suggest the cereal is just scrunchy noodles then.

I hate agreeing with @KSI UppishB592 on food related matters... but if the cereal is the crackers then it cannot be the soup. The milk is the soup in that scenario, and that is just wrong.

Go DM!
