Reasons they deserve this award:

This year has been a tumultuous year for ES. Despite this Swagg77 has been there listening to my concerns and being there supporting when things went down.  I don't know if he knows how much he has helped when I was trying not to panic when literally all leadership in ES left except for me. It would have been easy and say to hell with it and close ES but instead he and the director team is giving us a chance to rebuild and get it right.  Even before everyone left Swagg77 was there listening when I needed to vent or answer my questions even the hard ones. He doesn't sugar coat things which is a good thing as sometimes we need brutal honesty to get to where we are being the best we can be. He is one of the silliest and goofiest people I know when it comes to gaming and those off the wall comments are just a part if who he is and would not change it for the world.  To a wonderful friend mentor and leader thank you.

Gamertag:KSI Uppish 

Forums Account Link / @: @KSI Uppish 7

Reasons they deserve this award: Although I met Uppish in Clan Ops meetings I really hadn't had the chance to get to know him as a leader or person until more recently.  Because of the mass exodus from ES he became our director and I can't ask for better. He has a way of putting things into perspective or insight into issues in a way that I may have missed.  He is always willing to listen and give advice when needed or helps me to understand what needs to be done.  Uppish is as determined as I am to rebuild ES and make it able to prosper by laying a firm foundation. At times I feel like I am floundering but he always reminds me Rome wasn't built in a day that it will take time but we will get there.

@KSI DC 77

Reasons they deserve this award:

DC decided to step back into Clan Ops and chose to come help ES. I can say that he is stepping up in a big way. He has been hosting workshops and assisted training our potential officers. He is making his presence known and getting to know our members.  Our leadership styles are different but that's ok it gives us a different perspective and allows us to discuss and get the job done. I am greatly thankful for all he is trying to do. We have a long way to go to rebuild this division and having him here can help make the difference we need. Thank you for all you do.

For those of you who don't know this young man you are missing out. He is a pleasure to game with and is a wonderful friend.  He will always have a special place in my heart as I know much of his story and all I can say is he is rising above where he comes from. He is always laughing and energetic in parties and gaming with all members.  He will be the first to tell you that he is trash at a game but continues to play because he is having fun. He currently is a PO in his squad and I am so proud of him and can't wait to see him as an officer the sky is the limit let's get it.

Reasons they deserve this award:

When he saw issues happening that bothered him he stepped up and voiced his concerns.  He is our very own social butterfly.  Always joining parties and playing odd games that he really gets into lol but still participate and engages our members.  If ES were to ever have a mascot he would definitely be it. Please continue to be your loving goofball self for this division would not be the same without you

Catagory : Senior Leader (Board)

Gamertag : KSI VENUM 7

Forums link: @The ChadMin

Reason: this man has been a wonderful mentor to have, hes been there for the whole division of ES when we needed a shoulder to cry on and hes helped correct our division and steer it in the correct course it needed to be. Venum deserves more credit than what he receives, when he talks to you he doesnt demean or belittle you for a mistake youve made. He talks to you like an old friend youve made years ago and doesnt make you feel like an outcast. Hes the type of person that goes out of his way to be close to those that may feel like an outcast.....which is probably why webops is the way it is.

 

Catagory: Co-Founder

Gamertag: KSI Nyquil 7

Link: @Nyquil 7

Reason: i havnt had the pleasure to work in a division yet with him but within the short time ive had the chance to know sleepy ive understood why people respect him. When i was a Gen in ES he quickly became someone i could talk to about my struggles with. He made me feel like what i said mattered and helped guide me. Sleepy isnt like most 7s where theyve forgotten their reason as to why they became a leader. Instead he shows that everyday to everyone around him. His actions is CS are in part the reason as to why that division is great. Hes helped build the rising leaders there and has set the core values that he runs on.

 

Catagory: Forums Staff

Gamertag: KSI Jewels 7

Link: @KSI Jewels 7

Reason: To put this the best way i can, she is the first Senior join mod in web ops history to be inducted into the web ops Hall of Fame. Jewels came in on fire doing things that regular join mods never did. She got promoted and REWROTE the Senior Join mod position to where its NOW the standard of what to do at that position. As we speak shes taking leaps and bounds to alter the Webops team for the better.  Shes always making sure everyone understands the join area whether youre in the department or not. 

Let me remind you, shes in the web ops Hall of Fame! A list that has less than 10 people on it.

Gamertag: KSI Swag 77

Forums Account Link / @: @KSI Swag 77

Reasons they deserve this award:

Swag exemplifies leadership in every way I can imagine. He is caring, hard working, selfless and knowledgeable. Swag has been CoS for quite awhile now. That in itself is no small feat as senior leadership positions within clan-ops are a very stressful and demanding responsibility. Swag has not only taken on this responsibility, but has added to it, all while keeping his humility and approachability. Any day of the week you can find Swag online gaming with members of the community, and where some leaders form tight knit groups they play with regularly, Swag has had a different approach. He is constantly meeting and gaming with new members of the community regardless of their rank or title and has made himself accessible to anyone in the community that needs him. That not only takes a lot of character, but also a lot of dedication. Out of the countless leaders I have met in KSI, Swag has distinguished himself as one of the finest ones I have met. He embodies everything it means to be a member of KSI and is more than deserving of the recognition that comes along with that.

Gamertag: KSI Hatter 77

Forums Account Link / @: @Hatter 77

Reasons they deserve this award:

When thinking of what award to nominate Hatter for, I found myself a bit perplexed. Not because I couldn't think of an OTY she deserved, but because it was hard to think of one she didn't deserve. Hatter performs at an extremely high level in every aspect of KSI, so there were probably at least four OTY categories I could have chosen to nominate her for. That's when I had the realization that Hatter is deserving of the Member OTY. Member OTY is the very best member of KSI, regardless of position or title, and I'm very confident pitting her against anyone for this award. Hatter is not only a phenomenal Co-Founder but is a phenomenal Department Head and a phenomenal General. All positions that she has held and thrived in this year. Hatter does all of this while also being a full time mom and wife to her family. She is able to juggle so many responsibilities, and yet is still the most recognizable and respected leader in WD. She is constantly pushing her members and leaders to become the best version of themselves, while also upholding that same principle for herself. She exemplifies KSI in every way I can think, and out of all the years I've been in KSI, she is the most deserving person I have come to know for this award.

Gamertag: KSI Nyquil 7

Forums Account Link / @: @Nyquil 7

Reasons they deserve this award:

I have several several things to say about sleepy. And honestly I very much dislike getting mushy over stuff, but I can’t lie. If it weren’t for sleepy I would not be where I am today, or have the passion I have for KSI if not for him. When I joined KSI I had originally only wanted to be apart of a great community and just have fun. But seeing the way he acts and treats his fellow members and how great full they were for him, it built a fire in me. I wanted to be someone others could lean on. Now every step of the way I look towards Nyquil, as my “unofficial mentor” weather he knows it or not, and I strive to be better than him. Well, to maintain the same if not more level of trust and faith the community has in him.

Honestly, Sleepy is probably one of greatest examples of a true KSI member, which is why it was difficult to choose what “rank” to nominate him for. But that’s just it, he doesn’t represent just a rank, he’s a true KSI MEMBER.

Reasons they deserve this award:

When it comes to Nez, he’s definitely one of those people you get a sense of who he is just by seeing him around and instantly like him. But once you ACTUALLY get to know him, you couldn’t not find a better friend.  He strives to make peace in tough situations. He works his butt off to make his members feel included. He looks careless on occasion, but like they say, never judge a book by its cover, cause with Nez, I can personally attest that you will be wrong.

Reasons they deserve this award:

Ngl he’s a good guy, cares a lot for his people. He’s a tough sumb**** but if I need something, he’s one I’d go to without a second thought. Smoke has one of those personalities/Auras where members will/can gravitate towards him and just have a great time.  I couldn’t be more thankful to know that he will always have KSI and my back.

Gamertag: KSI VENUM 7

Forums Account Link / @: @The ChadMin

Reasons they deserve this award: 

 

Venum deserves this award for so many reasons. From the moment I joined Web Ops, Venum has always been there. He will answer whatever question you throw his way. If you ever need someone to cry to, Venum is there. I don't know how many times I've cried in a party to Venum, but he's always there to listen, no matter what. He is an amazing mentor and friend. He always wants to share his knowledge with everyone and anyone. He gives you all the tools you need to excel and will push you because he wants the best for you. He always jokes and says he's retiring and all the mods say back to him "if you go, I go." And the reason for that is Venum makes Web Ops. There is no Web Ops without him. You hear people say "Oh this division is home" Nah, Web Ops is home. And Venum makes Web Ops a home and a family. #ToxicMods

Reasons they deserve this award:

Nyquil 100% deserves this award because he goes over and beyond with everything he does. Ever since I came to CS, he's always making sure I'm doing good and doing the best I can. He's always around and wants people to be at their best. He's constant pushing others becaus he knows you can give more and he always expects more too. I haven't had a lot of mentors in clan ops before but he's an awesome mentor!

Gamertag: KSI Swanny 

Forums Account Link / @: @KSI Swanny

Reasons they deserve this award:

Swanny honestly deserves this award. I worked with him a lot in ES and even helped train him and he was great over there. And then I joined CS and man he really took everything he's ever been taught and ran with it. He's gone over and beyond. The second I said I wanna be an officer again, he made sure to help me and pushed me because he knew I could do it. He made me feel welcomed when I first joined back. He's definitely an amazing Captain and I can't wait to see what else he can accomplish.

Gamertag: KSI Nyquil 7

Forums Account: @Nyquil 7

Reasons they deserve this award: In my time being back I have observed Nyquil busting his ass in working to make Oblivion and CS as a whole better in all aspects. Even though he has things going on in his life IRL, he still finds time to step in and assist anyone that needs it regardless of rank. If anyone deserves OTY its Nyquil.

This is the kind of leader I look up to and this is the kind of leader I’d like everyone to strive to be like. He’s an inspiration to everyone in the community. No matter how many circles are made, you will find swag right there spinning along with it all.

Gamertag:KSI WldMama7

Forums Account Link / @: @KSI WldMama7

Reasons they deserve this award: I been with Wldmama7 since she first joined KSI and I watched her rise throught the ranks from pvt to the rank of co-fo, I watched her struggle with the highs and lows of the squads from her crying because she felt that she was doing something wrong to her jumping for joy when she knew she did her job to the best of her ability, her dedication to the KSI family can be found with any members that you talk to. Her willingness to help any squad member with any issue at any time, her attention to detail and her unqestionable drive to go the extra mile to insure that every job she done gets 110% at that in my mind make her one of the clearest choices for co-fo of the year

Personally, I feel Nez has really stepped up from being Captain to General and really helped to encourage me to complete my training to become an officer, along with others nez was there for me when I needed someone to talk to and is an overall good person and definitely someone who I feel deserves this award.

Reasons they deserve this award:

Ever since I have joined back into Clan Ops Wld has been the driving force to making ES the best that it can be. Wld should deserve any and all of the awards possible because she will literally do anything to make sure that everyone is happy and gaming together. She is always starting parties and inviting members so that they can connect with each other and become friends. She always answers any questions people may have and is very helpful and if she doesn't know the answer to it then she finds out for whoever is asking. She is the face of ES and your work doesn't go un-noticed! Thanks for everything you do for our division.

Reasons they deserve this award:

This guy deserves OTY every year from here forward. Everyone doesn't give this man enough credit that he deserves. Always answering questions and always available if you just need someone to talk with. This man actually has helped me a lot especially when I thought I wouldn't be able to join KSI again. He has been the driving force for Web-Ops that's why it's amazing as it is today. I could go on and on about why Venum deserves this award but I'll leave it short and sweet. Thanks for everything that you do for KSI your work doesn't go un-noticed my friend.

Reasons they deserve this award: Any of the Forums Staff could be nominated for this award as they all bring something unique to the table that makes them deserve it but Jewels has had a major impact on Web Ops this year from going from Join Mod all the way up to Forums Moderator which is a tremendous accomplishment however when you look at it she is more than a accomplishment when it comes to the area she stays on top of her duties as a Moderator during her time as a Senior Join Mod she implemented many things that were successful and in doing so we've incorporated them into the duties of that rank she never shys away from making sure everything runs smoothly and everyone is having the best experience they can have I truly look forward to see what she does in 2023 because if this is a precursor then 2023 will be phenomenal for her.
