KSI Grifful 7 89 Report post Posted November 1, 2018 This is pretty cool I feel like I'm writing my own autobiography lol. My time in SH: So, the first time I joined KSI, I was 15. The year was 2012. I was playing Modern Warfare 2 on Ground War. I was matchmaking and out of nowhere there was a full lobby of KSI. I played against them (and destroyed them). Not long after that I joined KSI. Instantly once I was trained to a PVT I really fell in love with it. I was automatically attracted to the organization, and how the Officers conducted themselves. It really made you feel like you belonged to something bigger then yourself. That besides you there were 3400 people doing the same thing to build the team from the ground up. I would spend all my free time recruiting. Back then when it was easier to mass message and the KSI security was a lot lower then what it is now. I instantly started to carry a reputation with me in my squad. I was known to be young and eager, but also extremely organized and a great recruiter. I quickly moved up the ranks in my squad. (Which for the life of me I cannot remember the name, its driving me insane. I really want to say it was called Wrath.) Before I knew it, I was a Major and was being groomed to take over that squad because the acting gen was starting to fade out of clan ops and leave KSI altogether actually. So, months went by and I received a message one night, describing that the Gen was leaving. Immediately following that I got an invite from my Co-Fo and Founder and was promoted to General. I really loved being a General, I loved the freedom that came with it. I really liked managing my own squad. Of course, back then it was easier to be a General. There wasn’t as nearly as many policies we had to adhere to. I spent about six months in that squad as the General and we grew. Eventually a Co-Fo spot opened, and I felt like I earned that. So, I made every attempt to get it. They ended up giving it to someone who I felt really didn’t deserve it. So out of spite, I left and eventually went to the US Army as an Infantryman (11B). Looking back at it, I hate how naïve I was. Because the crazy reality is, is that if I would have just accepted that in the eyes of my 7’s I wasn’t ready. Eventually I would have been ready and by this time I could have been a Senior Director if I just would have stuck it out. I think about that from time to time and I really kick myself in the ass for it. My time in FI/SL: Oh man, how do I even start this. I started off my KSI career for the second time in FI. I joined Velocity as a SGT. Velocity for me was a bleak affair. A month before I rejoined in Velocity, they got poached hard and the worst part about that was it was an Officer that was leading that attack on Velocity. So, that really did a number on the current General. After the attack on the squad she really didn’t trust anyone. In the return of that mentality, officer promotions were rare. Recruiting wasn’t a great idea, because the squad needed to be fixed at its fundamental levels before we could bring in new faces and retain those new recruits. So, for about a month and a half, I just sat in that squad not doing nearly anything. It was very boring to say the least. After I requested a division transfer (which was denied for unknown reasons). The Co-Division Leader at the time, hit me up and wondered what I thought about potentially going to Stryker (which is now Imperial.) I instantly hopped on the idea, and three days later was in Stryker. Let me just tell you this, Stryker at the time wasn’t even a squad. It was just a group of stragglers’ that had KSI in their name. At this point in my life I was leaving the Army, so I had nothing but time to fix the squad. A month later, we had maybe 35 people in the squad and it was forming a shape. As the squad continued to grow, I continued to grow in rank. Once Stryker was settled and stabilized, FI as I knew it was gone. All my seven staff were fired or quit KSI. That was depressing. Then over the weeks they introduced a new seven known as KSI Skarxz 77. It was at this time that I got promoted to General (for the second time.) Since then, today I currently lead Imperial. That’s pretty much it for now. So the overall message is this: KSI will always change, leaders will come and go. Change will always be around the corner. Its really all about how you handle these new changes. There's no point in getting angry over Poop you cant control. So really when it comes down to it, you have to ask yourself "What can I do to better myself, or my squad?" And nine times out of ten, its simply this, stop feeling sorry for yourself. Get up and be the leader your members need. It is because of this why KSI has been around for fifth-teen years. Through all of the ups and downs, were still here. And its because people weren't thinking about themselves, its because they were thing of the over thousands of people in this community. I get on Xbox everyday, and every time you will see me on the home screen, I'm not playing games or passing the time. I'm mentoring leaders for the next generation of KSI. That is, and how we will always survive. 4 KSI VorTex81, Greenday 7, Ysoseriusqzc and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Awards

EIbas 11 Report post Posted January 27 (edited) Sovereign legacy My name is Jacob. I’ve been in KSI for about 2 in a half months now, so I believe they’re some things that I can teach new members about the community and so forth. I’m going to share my history within sovereign legacy, and future goals after these experiences. (P.S, I know this is long but that’s why I labeled each and every topic. Skip through to what interests you) Recruitment At first the recruitment process took forever. I was a recruited by a very new officer who didn’t know much about what he was doing(I was a recruit for about a week and had no communication, and I didn’t get into the discord server until about a month after recruitment) He just wanted to say he was recruiting to try and move up in rank. That goes to show you need to know what you’re doing when it comes to helping other members or future members. You alone can affect their experiences within KSI. KSI IBEYOMAMMY A current captain for SL(1-27-19)also the only reason me and my cousin KSI xBLAZINx are still here within the community after our horrible recruitment experience. We basically gave up on KSI because we had no communication and weren’t even sure if we were still in the clan. But one man secured us here. He was the only person communicating with us, and striving to get us into the community. Not to mention his dedication on trying to make us leaders. He is always boosting people up telling them how great they could be in KSI. overal a great captain and a great future General. He also gave me a name change after the whole recruitment thing. I don’t tell him this a lot (but I hope he sees this) I appreciate him a lot for helping me and my cousin get here. Anyways, the point of this message is to show you there are great people in this community willing to help as long as you reach out to them. KSI Grifful Current General of SL(1-27-19) Another great member in this community. He doesn’t care about your rank or anything, he dedicates some time to play with everybody he can and to make their experience here better. He always trains his officers making sure they are ready for their next rank or assignment. He alone is a great example of a leader. SGT(Goals and ambitions) So my ambitions have changed drastically this month. At first I just wanted to stay as a SGT and not move up at all. I only enjoyed playing with people and meeting new people. My current ambitions are to be more active within departments and web ops. I see a lot of people who only want to move up within the clan ops but I want to be different and support this community in other ways that other people don’t want to do. Be unique basically. The reason my motivation changed was because I wanted to do more. I wanted to help people and to move up and meet new people within the community. I joined HSI as my department ops side and I hope to further myself within the department and make sure I do my part. Transfer to Royalty (5/7/19) As of now i stepped down from my HSI position, ive been transferred from Imperial to Royalty to have a opportunity to help and rank up faster. Ive been promoted to a SSGT now and i feel very motivated to move up within the ranking structure and to help everyone around me in the process. A lot of the people that i looked up to, for guidance, for help, have mostly left. They created new communitys in retaliation to KSI. Its really sad to see people trying to get revenge and trying to prove a "point" all because they're fueled by bitter hate. Don't be like these people. If you ever do decide to leave KSI, let it be on good terms. Theres really no point in having bitterness or hate in your heart. New Ambitions and Goals(5/7/19) For the most part everything's the same, except my ambitions have changed from web ops related things, to clan ops. I want to help expand the community and help people find other people where they can feel accepted. I can't wait to meet new people and expand my view of this community. Final words I do hope my current experiences and ambitions help or encourage anyone to enjoy this community for what it’s worth. And always remember to not let bad experiences ruin your fun or ambitions here. I will be updating this post as I gain new experiences and further myself within this community. That’s all for now tho. Edited May 7 by KSI Elbas 4 2 KSI IBEYOMAMMY, Scarface 77, KSI VorTex81 and 3 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Awards

KSI DCRUNK 48 Report post Posted November 26 My name is David, but people call me Crunk (last name Crunkilton); hence where I get my gamertag KSI DCRUNK. The beginning: May 28, 2019- It was a hot day and school had just ended. I wanted to start my summer break off right by getting my mind off of teaching, grading papers, coaching etc. by playing some games. I had just started playing Xbox again and none of my friends were on. I decided to clear my friends list, but the problem was is now I didn't have any friends. I decided to find someone to play with on an LFG for Black Ops 4, and I ran across a recruiting post from KSI lordhades26, and the rest, as they say, is history. Recruit: I was recruited into Knights SL on 5/28/19. After my recruitment I added every single KSI person that I saw. I played in a few game nights, and I was hooked. I knew that this was the community for me, and that I wanted to help with whatever I was able to especially since I was about to have a lot of free time since I had the summer off. Private: I was promoted to Private on 6/1/19 because I wanted to make sure that I had been in KSI for 48 hours. Unfortunately, I had to take an LOA soon after becoming a private because I was going to visit family. As soon as I got back from vacation and my LOA was done, I changed my name and was promoted to Sergeant on 6/7/19. Sergeant: I had made a lot of friends since joining KSI, some that were KSI and quite a few that were not. I showed my interest in becoming an officer and was trained by KSI Sasuke08 @Forzt08. He thought that I showed a lot of potential to become an officer, but I had to earn the rank by recruiting and co-hosting a game night. He mentored me and through rigorous training got me prepared for what would become my KSI career. The night I was promoted to SGT @Kakashii 77 told me with all the talking I was doing I better have four recruits by the next Friday, which gave me a full week to get four recruits. I recruited six people that night and in four days time I had recruited eleven people and co-hosted a game night, which allowed me to be promoted to a Staff Sergeant on 6/11/19. Staff Sergeant: My goal as a Staff Sergeant was to get to know every member of Knights by the end of the week. I went through the Knights SL club page and added every single member that I could while checking to make sure their bio/location were correct. My first game night I had the party packed, and I got some big names in my party like Founder at the time @KSI Grifful 7, who is now Division Leader of SL, and Division Leader at the time @Scarface 77, who is now Director over SL. I promoted quite a bit of the new recruits and jumped in numerous parties with the members of Knights SL. I hosted game nights, and attended every workshop that was offered. I continued recruiting, promoting, hosting game nights, attending game nights that I did not host, and offered my help where ever/whenever it was needed. It looked like I was going to be promoted to 4LT since the officer staff was fairly full, but unfortunately new changes to the discord and to squad officer set-up were passed down;however, it did not deter me. I was still extremely motivated and wanted to prove that I would not falter. Eventually, a Lieutenant position became open, and I had earned the position. I was promoted to 2nd Lieutenant on 6/30/19. Lieutenant: I was fortunate that people saw potential in me. Due to unfortunate circumstances my mentor, my best friend in the squad KSI Sasuke08 stepped down from his LT position. He did so because he felt that he did not have enough time to contribute since he was (and still is) stationed in Japan, but he also did not want to be the reason that I was stuck in a rank. I still can't believe that he did that. He stepped down unselfishly to make sure that others who were striving were not being overlooked and were given promotions they had earned. He showed true integrity in his actions, and I am glad to say that he was able to rejoin the officer corps and helps trains/mentors new members, potential officers, and officers in the squad. I worked hard, and I used the training I was given in order to help grow and train the squad. I hosted game nights, workshops, played with members, asked members how they were doing and what they wanted to see change in order to make their gaming experience better. I helped with the security checks, and I made sure to train SGTs properly, so they could become strong officers if they earned wanted to join the officer corp. I wanted to help out with whatever I could to make sure Knights was successful and there were Captain positions open. Almost all of the members of Knights knew who I was and seemed to enjoy playing and talking with me. I even earned top recruiter of the month for the month of June 2019. I earned 3rd Captain on 7/7/19. Captain: I knew that I had big shoes to fill when I took the Captain position. I immediately led a security check and made sure that all members of Knights had the new officer corps added and made sure their bio/location were correct. I wanted to recruit members, but I was put on a recruiting hiatus by my general KSI YeetQueen because she wanted other people to start producing instead of solely relying on me to do the recruiting. I used my time to promote, train, make the squad schedule, keep the updated promotion list, and retain members by making them feel valued. I was promoted to 2nd Captain on 7/15/19 when the position opened due to KSI FlipSyde stepping down. I was told I was able to recruit again and started to recruit like a maniac. I was the second top recruited in SL for July 2019. Talks of a squad split were starting to become common. I knew I wanted to be the person to help split a squad and hopefully help build either a new squad or replenish Knights with new members, but due to some unforeseen circumstances the squad split was delayed when the 1st Captain transferred divisions. It was rough because I had a good feeling that I would either be promoted to general of the new squad or be the replacement general in Knights if KSI YeetQueen would have been promoted to CoFo. I was promoted to 1st Captain on 7/30/19. I did not let the last minute cancellation of the squad split deter me from our goal. I worked hard with our other members and made sure that we were ready for anything. I branched out so I could meet more people and to see more perspectives outside of the SL division when I joined the News and History departments where I enjoyed the responsibilities and assignments I was given. I especially took a keen liking to the History Department (because I am a history teacher and love all things history). I became best friends with @KSI Codyo. We worked extremely well together and got Knights back to where we needed it to be while KSI YeetQueen was out (first she was on vacation and then later she was admitted into the hospital for several days). After some tough times KSI YeetQueen decided to leave Knights and transferred to Hannibal DW. KSI Grifful 7 became our acting general, which was difficult for him because he was the only 7 in our division at the time. I knew that with all my work and training that I was ready to become general. I wanted to run Knights more than anything in the world. I had recruited, trained, and referred about half the squad. The squad liked me, and I worked well with the officer corps. I felt that I had earned the promotion, but I also knew that KSI Codyo had also earned the position. In the end KSI Grifful made a tough decision, and I was not the one chosen to lead Knights. I was told that I did not receive the promotion, but it was not because I wasn't ready. KSI Grifful thought I had the personality to start and grow a new squad; however, some more unfortunate circumstances occurred and the idea of a split was again halted. I understood the decision, and I was not about to let one decision end my career, but it did seem like the odds were stacked against me. I continued working hard and doing my officer duties. I recruited, promoted, and trained like I would every day, but I felt like I had done something wrong. It was tough not being chosen even though I was deemed ready. I earned top recruiter of the month for August 2019 and September 2019. I was nominated for Captain OTM every month from July to September, yet I was never able to earn the award. It seemed like all my hard work was going unnoticed, and it started to eat at me. I was frustrated, but I did not want to take it out on the members. I knew why I was not promoted, and was hoping the squad split would happen soon, yet it never came. I never thought about leaving Knights SL unless the split occurred, and I was not prepared for what happened next. One day KSI Grifful told me he had an opportunity for me. He told me that if I wanted to that I could transfer to Imperial SL to possibly earn a general position. @KSI Rogue 7 was ready to become a CoFo, but no one was gen ready. I told him that I had two stipulations, and if they were met then I would accept the opportunity. The first stipulation was that all of the Knights officer corps members had to approve the transfer. The second was that I had to be interviewed and accepted by the Imperial officer corps: KSI Rogue 7 (general at the time), KSI Bmack42 (3rd Captain), KSI OOOF (1st Lieutenant), KSI Icyemoney (2nd Lieutenant), and KSI TossAmidget (SSGT). Both stipulations were met, and, a week after the interview, I transferred to Imperial SL on 9/20/19. I transferred over as a 2nd Captain and was told I had to earn the general position. Nothing was going to be handed to me, and I understood that. It did not matter what I did in Knights. I had to prove myself to Imperial. I had to readjust my game type so that I could meet the members of Imperial and get them used to me. I did everything that I did as a SSGT in Knights. I needed the members to get to know me, so I made sure to jump in as many parties as I could. I earned the trust and respect of the officer corps and the members. I was starting to become a great leader in Imperial.@KSI Bmack42 stepped down which made me the only Captain. After some training I was promoted to General of Imperial on 10/10/19. General: I was blessed to have been given the opportunity to lead Imperial. I was and still am extremely grateful to have been given the chance as well as had mentors along the way to help me out through the process: KSI Skarzx 77, KSI Grifful 7, KSI Rogue 7, KSI Codyo, and, my original mentor, KSI Sasuke08. As General of Imperial I have had to make some tough decisions. I decided to leave News after accepting the responsibility, so I did not overload myself or take time away from my members. I have had to handle a tough situation with the newly promoted 2nd Captain KSI Icyemoney, which led to his removal from the division. I have had to decide who to promote when multiple people deserved promotions. I have motivated, inspired, and lead the officer corps to the best of my ability. I was able to fill the officer corps with people that are phenomenal; they are amazing people with great personalities that make the members like them. They have always stayed hungry and worked for promotions, yet they do not do the requirements of the officer positions out of selfishness to get promoted. They have produced high quality work without complaining and have worked hard in order to help and benefit the squad. They have recruited, promoted, trained, and mentored the way that I did when I was in their position and have continued to do as a general. I have been able to successfully lead the squad because of the people around me. They have worked so hard that we are at the point where we are ready to split Imperial (for the third time) with the latest split being three and a half months ago on 8/16/19. I am lucky to have met and worked with great people that I call friends. I could not have gotten where I am today without my friends that have helped me along the way. Thank you to KSI Sasuke08 for taking a chance and mentoring me. Thank you to KSI Grifful 7 for always believing in me and motivating me to do more. Thank you to KSI Skarzx 77 for mentoring me and challenging me to become the best officer I can be.Thank you KSI Rogue 7 for giving me the opportunity and allowing me to come into Imperial and training me to become general. I want to thank @KSI TossAmidget who has helped me grow as a person, a leader, and a friend. I want to thank @KSI Ursidae who has grown and continued to work hard as a captain, yet still has time to humor people and let him know that I am always happy to see him and he makes my day better when he hops into my party. I want to thank @APPLE P1E19 for his amazing work and let him know I can't wait to see the great things that come from him. I want to thank @KSI Highjacked9 for his dedication and work ethic and for always being there for everyone whenever they need someone to talk to throughout the days. I want to thank @KSI N3cRo NiNjA for always being real and 100% honest (even if it is brutal sometimes) with me and everyone else in the squad to make sure things are great. I want to thank @KSI NFS KING for always being eager to learn and trying to make sure that everyone feels welcomed into our community. I want to thank @WBG COUN7RY 94 for being passionate and overcoming personal things in order to help and inspire others. I want to thank @KSI Mayor 7 for always being an amazing friend and for always trying to help me in any way needed (especially listening to my complaining). I want to thank @KSI Punisher69 for working hard and showing that even when things get bad, like having to step down and transfer, you can always bounce back and be a strong officer. I want to thank @Wackinwabbit69 for being eager and showing people that you genuinely care for the members of this community; you have always been a great member and tried to get to know everyone and make everyone feel welcome even before becoming an officer. I want to thank @Tenkwb20cf for his dedication and for wanting to improve the squad by recruiting and trying to learn everything to better the squad. I want to thank @KSI Swag 7 for everything he has done in helping and guiding me since joining the division. I want to thank @KSI Lordhades26 for recruiting me into this awesome community. Lastly, I want to thank @KSI Azrael5509 @KSI Sassy for being amazing friends and helping me become a better person; if it where not for you three then I would not be where I am at. Y'all did not have to allow me to leave Knights. 1 2 1 7 KSI Rogue 7, KSI Punisher69, Kakashii 77 and 8 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Awards
KSI Gh0st66 3 Report post Posted November 27 When I first joined KSI I was recruited into Templar SL by KSI Scorpi0n and going from RCT-CPL the person who I’d always play bo4 with was my old gen KSI Toxin 7 (Formerly KSI Sinikon) then after a few months I changed my name to put a KSI tag in my name. A few more months went by and my squad was getting ready to split while I was working to become an officer in Templar. A few days later I was told by my gen that I would go into the new squad which was known as Glory. After a few days in Glory my gen told me he needed Officers so I told him that I was interested and I started working to become an officer. After a few days of working hard I became a SSGT and when I first found out about the duties I was a bit confused and worried at first but once I started getting used to it I started to get the hang of it. A few months One of my officers left KSI because of personal reasons so a few days after he left I was promoted to 2LT and started to get trained to become a captain. One day my gen told me he was going to step down and after he stepped down our then COFO KSI Swag 77 became our acting gen and promoted me to. 3CPT a week after. a few months went by and I was training to become gen. After a bit went by the burnout started happening both of my fellow officers started taking about transferring and I was thinking of leaving KSI in general. One day our div leader got a with us to let us know that they would be shutting down glory. While we vacated the squad I was transferred back To Templar one of my officers transferred to Knights and the other one transferred div’s. Now we move on to today currently I’m a 1LT working to become a CPT and I’ve been enjoying it. It took a while to get used to but I’ve been doing better in Templar nowadays.

KSI Bmack42 3 Report post Posted December 5 (edited) Hey everyone my name is Brandon Mack but most of you know me as KSI Bmack42. To give you my history I’m going to start a little before being recruited into KSI. I met @KSI Rogue 7 about two years ago by chance in a random duo game. We played on and off together for a while and then he joined KSI. On 5/19/19 I got a message from him asking if I would like to join the community. I had no reservations and even changed my gamertag during my recruitment. After that one of the first things they put me through was what I want to call the the gauntlet I was put on a team alone against the imperial officer core so they could see what I could do. Since then I quickly rose through the ranks starting May 19 Recruited Into Imperial SL, PVT and SGT on May 23, June 08 Promoted To Staff Sergeant, July 09 Promoted To Lieutenant, August 21 Promoted To Captain. SSGT: when I was approached to become an officer one of the reasons I was so happy to take the job is I wanted to follow in @KSI Rogue 7 footsteps and help the community to grow. It was a little hard at first to learn what I needed to because I was at work. However I was able to start doing promotions at work while on a forklift and attend squad meetings and officer meetings. I even did some of my trainings while at work. I was eager and ready to help the community even while at work I was on doing promotions and recruitments. I was in every training that I was asked to be in. I was asked to help other learn to recruit because I was so passionate and eager to get others into KSI LT: when I was promoted to Lieutenant I was so happy because I was being recognized for what I had done. At this point @KSI Ursidae was asked to mentor me and help me to learn even more about KSI and to get me ready to run the trainings that I had already been apart of. Even though OOOF was technologically my mentor I learned so much from all the officers and that’s because everyone has a different style and outlook on different situations. I was usually getting one or two recruits when I got on during this time we had to put a freeze on recruiting because we were about to split the squad for the second time first time since I had been a KSI member. After the split on August 16th on the 21st I was promoted to 3rd Captain of imperial. Captain: as a caption probably my proudest moment was doing a triple recruitment. I had met three random people on PUBG and played with them for most of the day. To date all three members are still in and two of them have changed their names to reflect KSI. At one point @KSI Rogue 7, @KSI Grifful 7, and @KSI ToXin 7 all pulled me into a party and started to ask me questions about how I would handle certain situations. Little did I know at that time they were trying to find out if I was ready to become the General of imperial. When they told me they were wanting me to become the general I asked them if I could wait till after exams to make a decision. Around this time we also got @KSI DCRUNK added to our squad as a transfer officer. They didn’t tell us that at first they told us it was a mock interview and after they told us the truth and asked if we would like him as an officer instantly it was a yes from every single officer in imperial. About a week later I got my first round of exams back and they were far from what I wanted and unfortunately because of this I made the hard choice of stepping down from 3rd captain. I would be lying if I said there weren’t tears coming down my face because KSI not just imperial had become another family. I was afraid because I wasn’t going to be on as much anymore that I would be fluffed out of KSI. Thankfully @KSI Rogue 7 and later @KSI DCRUNK both agreed that KSI is a family and we couldn’t boot people out just because something happened and they couldn’t be on a lot. We came up with a plan that would keep me in KSI by me being active in the discord as well as attending some squad meetings and still jumping some parties. Once my grades were able to turn around I was able to get on more often and as long as my grades still improve I will potentially have the opportunity to work my way back up through the ranks as an officer. I have loved my time in KSI so far and I look forward to helping build and improve KSI as I grow in KSI myself. Step down to SGT: The choice to step down is not an easy one, I loved being an officer and I was so proud that I had been promoted to one. When my grades at school weren’t doing particularly well I had to make the the difficult decision to step down I messaged @KSI Rogue 7 and informed him I was stepping down. At first he thought I was kidding until I explained the situation to him. He allowed me to stay in the officer core for one hour after to say what I needed to to my fellow officers and I won’t lie it was one of the hardest messages to write because I felt like I was abandoning them. During this time I was also not sure if I would be fluffed from KSI because of my low activity but because of the my general at the time and because of the general who took over @KSI DCRUNK we were able to find a way for me to stay in. I would like to say thank you to the current imperial officers as well for keeping me up to date and congratulate them on their squad split @APPLE P1E19, @KSI DCRUNK,@KSI Mayor 7, @KSI N3cRo NiNjA, @KSI Punisher69, @KSI WacknWabbit, @KSI GINGER. Jumping forward to today. My grades are much better and my anxiety is way down and I am looking forward to a possible opportunity to come back to the officer core soon. KSI is my family just like my brother is so I’m glad I didn’t have to leave y’all. KSI for life!
