WELCOME KSI PRIDE GZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

for any member who wants to come from a different division must talk to there co founder to be brought up to there director then they get in touch with the cofounder of the squad they want to go to but it has to have a vaild reason as to why the member wants to transfer if the reason is good enough and the directors say its ok the member will have to replace themself with 2 recruits and take a two-rank demotion

wow what a question... why even have the name KSI? wow did he really just ask that *looks around*? The reason we have the name KSI is because we as a people built KSI.. Most of the leaders you know today were leaders in Darth Sidious's KSI and we built that thing back from the gates of hell, when i became active again we were stitting on the brink of death but leaders such as Chaos, Queenjess, Royal, Myself, fuzzy, rebellion, TEX, and others built our own Divisions or oversaw the divisions to bring us back. in 6 months we had gone from under 1000 members to over 4500 and we had some the best leaders KSI has ever seen and i know bad leaders ive seen alot of the over my almost 9 years in KSI. So for you to ask why KSI? Because we are the reason KSI is what it is today and we are not giving our home away without a fight.

I will be a witness for legion.

First a little background on myself. I am not easily impressed and i do not play favorites, i am brutally honest (even it means cutting people to the core) and i dont usually tolerate an unusual amount of bullPoop but at the same time i am a fun loving person and the first to goof around. so if i have a kind word to say it was well earned if i have a negative thing to say it is only because i want to see improvement in my squad mates all the way from my general to my newest private.

Outstanding Service LVL1- During Legions 2 week step in as general i had seen a lot from him that impressed even me. Legion did not merely take on the position of general but he had approached with such enthusiasm that it was slightly contagious while i may not be as active on the forums as i should be i keep a close eye on my squad if i see problems i take the necessary steps to fix them. thankfully right before he had to take lags place i was promoted to LT-3 which gave me slightly more lee way than SSGT however. During those two weeks honor as a squad from the inside honor seemed to shine we were both busy and active. Almost every night was a "game night" whether it be just a group of 5 playing matchmaking or a full blown lobby of 10. as he has stated we had more recruits in those two weeks than we did that month. The thing that stands out in the bunch of recruits rather than the others is that most if not all are active. they may not have forums accounts(which they should and i plan on getting on their asses about) they come to meetings and will gather from game nights they are not the usually fluff recruits that collect dust. One of them in particular Rin has shown some future leadership qualities all we have to do is iron out his individual kinks and show him what being an officer is really about. But i digress; Legion in my eyes should be awarded outstanding service lvl1 on those facts alone. But on top of that he was very down to earth, honest, and had won the respect of all his squad mates and as anyone should know a persons rank has nothing to do with power whether it be Private or all the way up to General but the amount of respect and trust that individual has gained within the squad.

Silver Outstanding service LVL2- boy what you smokin? acting as general in a generals absence does not in fact make you eligible for all the same awards and achievements as a standing general. Thats why its called acting AS general you are only a temporary replacement for a short time. However you can still attain this IF you continue to show the traits i know you have to become a general

Most outstanding- Honestly i cant provide any evidence to this specific category that i havent already listed if someone feels that my statements above apply to this then go ahead and consider it a copy and paste

Member Assistance- You've earned this one kid for many of the reasons i already stated but ill go into further detail. He sat down with every single one of our officers and sergeants and made sure they knew how to properly recruit and orientate all new ksi member into Honor. also he explained a few things to myself. and anytime any one had a question in a party it was him that everyone directed them to.

Headhunter- Its a given his in a headhunter squad


Sorry for the long post heres a potato

Props to every single member of GZ for keeping it all together and giving me a great place to come back to and call home. I thank you all for your support and can't wait to get back in the game and get the chance to meet and play with all of you either again for the first time.

Once again, MAD props! This is why KSI continues to grow and remain strong regardless of any criticism KSI may get. Keep it up guys! ^^

A lot of useful information and time put into this o.o

Good job Sir Impy.

Inflatable muscles? lol

Any who I saw almost all squads last night pulling in Cpls pvts sgts even officers going through rank structure and coc and helping them navigate through the forums website. Also planning out ways to be more active with one another, I'm realllly proud I hope this doesn't die out and you made a good point impy MOTIVATION.

All,

I have witnessed this division go through ups and downs over the past few months. I know that we will be a premiere division in KSI within the next few months. However, this will not be achieved without dedication from each and every member of Ground Zero. Below is a list of aspects that, I believe, will make this division better. Please take the time to read it, (it is somewhat humorous), take the information to heart, and pass this information on to squad members. Think of this list as a challenge. A challenge for EACH and EVERY member of this division to read, understand, share, grasp, and utilize this knowledge.

Game nights and Lobby Play- Make it your duty to, well, PLAY. This is what we all joined KSI for anyway. We joined to meet other mature gamers that we would enjoy playing Xbox with. Utilize the squad tag friends list to add and invite other members from the squad. (I did so today, invite 4 random Unity members I have never played with before, and all 4 joined and we had fun playing, so nobody can say it's impossible.)
Forums Activity- Read the GZ Area and other areas actively, and post frequently. This helps you feel more apart of the community aspect. You will gain knowledge about KSI and feel more dedicated from this added involvement.
Knowledge- Try to gain as much knowledge from those around you as possible. Ask questions, take notes, memorize rank structure. The more you know, the more you gain.
Strength- Don't look at an obstacle, such as dwindling numbers within the squad, and think it is too much to overcome. Approach all problems at a low, grassroots, level and focus on effecting change on 1 person, then 2 people, then 5, and 10, and so on.

Integrity- Your words and actions are all you have. If you promise something, or are given responsibilities, fulfill them to the greatest extent possible. Just because you rank up from SGT to 4LT doesn't mean your journey is over, because it's just beginning. When your responsibilities ask that you host game nights, recruit, train, and captain a team, you fulfill those duties. Most duties asked of you involve playing and having fun, anyway. Take advantage of that.
Involvement- Get others around you involved. This was covered in the "Game nights and Lobby Play" section, but it needs to be repeated. Meeting new people that are cool and relaxed, mature, and even skilled will enrich the Xbox Live experience. Any member that has been in for a while that complains that there is nobody to play with, and thus they are bored, is encountering one of two problems: 1) That individual has no intention of staying, and has not embraced the community aspect or 2) The squad members around that individual are lazy and have not bought in to the community atmosphere. Either way, something is defunct within that squad, and it needs to be addressed. Also, get involved on teams. If your squad has no teams, go the extra mile to become an Officer to be the Captain of a team, or pressure the current officer staff to create a team (if enough support exists -- 5+ members)
Initiative- Taking the extra step, going the extra mile, sharing your chili cheese fries with a homeless cat outside a Home Depot. If no game nights are occurring, if recruitment is slacking, if members aren't having fun, aren't getting along, or some other issue presents itself, bring the issues to your General (or highest ranking officer) and then GO OUT AND CHANGE IT. YOU can be the change. You don't need a rank to gather a group of players, you don't need a rank to find recruits (but you do need a SSGT or Officer there to train), you don't need a rank to have fun. Many issues can be solved by initiative being taken, and issues can be solved on a much lower level.
Maturity- We aim to be a mature community. Jeffery calling you a poop head, or you making fun (and hurting the feelings of) Jeffery because of his horrendous bowl-cut, is not what we need here. All new members must be 16 years of age or older (in GZ), and these issues should not be happening among anyone who has a license to operate a motor vehicle. If you can drive a 3,000+ lb vehicle and are able to restrain yourself from running over old ladies who cross the street slowly, you should be able to abstain from insulting and offending members on an online gaming community.

Reinforcement- "I told him the other day... he didn't listen, I guess." Not acceptable. The saying states that 3 times is the charm. Research says that something must be repeated at least 3 times for our brains to absorb the information. Principles of KSI, active membership, and weekly, monthly, and long-term goals must be covered over and over again, but with caution. If reinforced too much, the member base grows tired of the message and becomes disinterested. If not covered enough, the base is ignorant to the ideas. Cover them directly and indirectly, i.e. Directly = "Lets go get 3 recruits this week"; Indirectly = "Unity got 2 recruits last week, I told the General there we could beat them, do you all think we can?"
Positivity- It's infectious. Give kudos when deserved, and pass around the good vibrations. The Beach Boys would be proud.
Competition- This is an underlying principle to all success. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm (and competition). There is no doubt in my mind that the guy who invented the toilet was trying to impress a lady and, thus, compete with that creepy guy down the street who has a house full of poop. Competition drives everything in this world. Humans are wired for competition; we want to be the best. Use this ideal to create teams, recruit actively, hold game nights, etc, ALL in the hopes that each aspect of the squad/division are BETTER than a competing one.
Sportsmanship/Gamesmanship- This is an addendum to the competition factor. When we compete in KSI, the goal is not to create an unfriendly atmosphere and make others feel bad. Proceed with caution, and always remember that these competitions are not the end all, be all. We are all among friends here. In KSI, we never leave a member behind and we never alienate any member or squad.
Dedication- Finish what you started. My parents always said it when I played soccer competitively from ages 7 through 17. If obstacles hit, they would reassure me that the character and self-esteem I would gain from finishing my tasks and jobs would be worth the pain. Of course, with KSI you shouldn't have to worry about concussions, sprained ankles, heartbreaking losses, and the occasional heart issues. Remember that being dedicated will help make all work worth it. The more time you put in, the more you get out. Whether it be rank or fun, the saying holds true.
Pride- TAKE PRIDE IN YOUR MEMBERSHIP. We don't accept just ANYONE. You are one of the few that has an xbox, is over the age of 14, isn't a bigot, and enjoys the community atmosphere. We are not a majority. But we are a tight knit family that is here for each other. An extension where we can help you with issues if you want it. Family. <3
Improvement- Always strive to be better on Tuesday than you were on Monday. If the goals are placed on a small basis, many small steps will make a large step easier. We can all learn from this. As a CPL, don't get excited to be a CPT when you have yet to change your name, get trained, and even become a LT first. Use each one of those milestones as small, individual, goals. And remember: YOU CAN DO IT!

Believe- "Don't give up. Don't EVER give up." - Jimmy V.
Sharing/Receiving- Lastly, make sure you share, and are open to receiving, information. SHARING IS CARING. Share any hints or tips to success with those around you. Be open-minded, and not too stubborn, enough to add on to your arsenal of knowledge and leadership. Feel free to even add on to this list, give your comments, suggestions for further insight, and pass this information off.






Love,
KSI ImPeRiiuM 7

MAD PROPS Impy dude u hit the friggin nail on the head i love the time and motivation that u have put in this honestly when i was in the party after the generals meeting on thursday and i was speaking this is what i was talking about exactly!! i have never been so ready before and im glad we are all changing KSI around to be the mature gaming community that all of us got recruited into!

i would like to add that KSI JONES and myself will be hosting an actual workshop for all the members in GZ to teach and show them how to be the hard working members they are supposed to be if they arnt already! we will be doing this with the approval of KSI LADYRUKIA 7 who had ok'd for us to do so! again on the behalf of KSI JONES and myself we welcome everyone!! yes 7's that includes you as well why?? because we are a family and any advice or techniques from a older family member (meaning higher rank) that we can pass down to the next generation of leaders and officers will be the best change any of us higher ranks can give to the new faces within KSI!

Lets get to work GZ!!!

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

i agree that is the best way to spread the word through the forums and through the squadtags
