2022 Of The Years vote assist:

 

Senior Leader (Board of Directors, Senior Directors):

KSI Swag 77:

Reasons they deserve this award: Well it's been one heck of a year, full of many high and many lows, but we've persevered. With Swag at the helm as Chief of Staff, it's been an incredible experience navigating through it all with the knowledge, drive, and dedication he brings to the table. There's yet to be a situation that's too tough for him to handle, and he approaches them with the grace, wisdom, and calmness of a monk in several where even i've about lost my cool. I do have to make a side note that this particular category was extremely hard for me to decide, because having Swag and KSI Slick 7 as the dream team of senior clan ops leadership makes it impossible to choose! But Swag, you edged it out this year with ya big teddy bear self. Luh you boo boo, smoochy smoochy, xoxo, teehee!

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.

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.

Being the mentor who taught Swagg all he knows I have been supremely impressed with how he's handled himself coming up the ranks, and now that he's a Senior leader he has continued shining and showing the up and comers what KSI sprit really is.

Since joining, Swag has been really encouraging and always a wonderful person to be around. He’s always made me feel like a part of the family and I believe he’s been doing a great job as a leader and a supporter through the weeks I’ve been here and I really like the way he takes care of situations and always makes everyone around him feel like a big family and I believe he’s been a great guide for the new people like me.

I believe Swag deserves this award because he has extreme motivation to continuously improve, grow, and maintain those in ES. Throughout the struggles and hardships ES has faced, Swag has been there promoting positivity, activity, and proactivity. 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.

Swag deserves this honor for a multitude of reasons he is one of the most if not the most dedicated leaders in this community whenever a issue arises in Clan Ops he's the first one to step up and get right to work fixing the issue he's constantly bouncing around parties hanging out and gaming with the members and making sure that they're getting a true KSI experience during their here when you look at all he does for the community he gives it all his blood sweat and tears this place wouldn't be what it is without Swag

Mr.Pickles has done a lot this year, everything from helping me learn my rank as a new General to now helping me as a CoFounder. One of the key moments in the year I’d like to speak about is when I got promoted to Gen, I got handed a squad with 30 fluff and was buggin out. Swag ended up giving me a fresh start and let me fluff all out so I could get a true number, my squad name was even made fun of to the point it demotivated my officers and he let me change it. That day changed everything for my squad, it motivated my officers and helped me build a successful team. It even made our members feel better and have a since of pride for their home. Now to speak on some IRL things, this year has been extremely hard. I’ve lost a lot of people, but swag never abandoned me. No matter how hard I may have been to deal with at times, he was always there to listen. Regardless of me screaming, crying or just all out anger for the world. He’s a rare find in this world, and truly is a good person. I hope when you read this, you know I appreciate what you do for myself and this community.

Swag deserves this award for a slew of reasons. This man NEVER FREAKING STOPS. He’s the lifeforce of Clan Ops. Without him, we wouldn’t have a community. This man puts our community before most anything else in his life. Got an issue in a div? Don’t worry, Swag has an answer to fix it. He doesn’t hesitate to throw himself into the mix to fix things either. Swag has put up with a lot of bs, hell, even a lot of my Poop, throughout the last year. He’s stood true and pushed KSI towards what needs to be done, and does it with a smile and laugh. He lets nothing get him down, and will continue to be what this community needs to carry on.

Swag has always help me when i need help every step of my career from past, present and will in the future as well he is always there when you need him. Even if it means to drop what he is doing to leand you  a hand . He truly is a strong lead.

Mr. Swaggy is a top tier mentor, friend, and colleague. This man devotes countless hours to all areas of clan ops never leaving any stone unturned. Hes always present in all divisions, with the 7s staff and the director team. His value is unmeasurable to Clap Ops. Ive worked with Swag since being a LT and I can honestly say if not for this man who knows where our community would be. Yea we have a board, we have some 7s, and some aspiring leaders but it takes a real go getter and a full 40hrs to keep the wheels greased and turning around these parts. Im beyond grateful for this mans dedication and workmanship towards KSI and even more grateful I've been able to learn from a leader like him, and continue to build our community with him.

Thia man swag. This guy's worth ethic is unmatched. From how much this man carry's and deals with on a regular basis. I legit question how he doesn't have grey hair. But in the mix of all the madness, swag is a great dude to hang out with. If you don't laugh at least once while in the party with swag, I'm going to ask if everything is alright with you. Swag is a class clown. The way he carries himself. He shows at the end of the day. We are all here for the same reason. To have fun. When it's time to get serious, swag sets the stage of how to operate. The only problem i have with swag is, why can't he go clone himself so he hangout with all of us lol.

Happy to have you as the COS

Swag's unmatched vigilance over Clan Ops has help lessen and avoid numerous disasters over the course of 2022, and bring about some successes as well. Mr. Pickles is a great teacher and leader who has mentored leaders on every level of Clan Ops, never afraid or hesitant to get his hands down & dirty on the squad level. Training, workshops, and building squads has always been something Swag takes immense pride and pleasure in doing. However being CoS is also about knowing when NOT to act as well. Swag has hones this instinct and used it well in 2022 and it's enabled him to setup a LOT of money moves for Clan Ops in 2023. I know Clan Ops has taken some big hits this year and even though it may appear as if Clan Ops is just taking body blow after body blow, 2023 has a lot of promise and I know Swag will use it well. Personally I'm looking forward to seeing where & what else Swag can do with KSI, and I don't think his magic wand will run out of juice anytime soon.

 

KSI VENUM 7:

Ever since I first became a join mod, venum has been my mentor and has taught me everything I’ve known. He was the one who trained me to be a join mod and for every position I have achieved following that. If there was ever something I was unsure of I could always go to him and ask to double check. To this day he is still available to our join mods if there is ever anything they need or if they are unsure of something. Venum has gone through so much through his time in this community and he has made a great impact everywhere he’s gone and with those around him. Web Ops and Clan Ops have Both benefitted from the time and dedication he has put into both areas. He is a true leader within the community and I am glad to have the opportunity to work with him in web ops

Venum is a great leader and is always around when you need him. You can go to him for anything and no matter the time he will respond. He is hard working and always trying to improve web ops. He is one of the best mentors you could have.

Without this man the web ops area wouldn't be what it is today. he keeps everyone in line and doing what needs to be done with out over stepping the people below him. he has helped me out a lot in this area when it comes to issues that i am not sure of or when it comes to just simple stuff that I'm having a brain fart on. he has made me what i am today in the join are and he makes everyone he comes in contact with a good leader and a great member of the join area. like I said at the beginning web ops wouldn't be the place it is without this mans spirit.

Man man, my guy Venum is a amazing leader with in KSI , he helps mentor and guide his Web Ops team to be the best it can be ? He take no shortcut to success and I’m glad to work along aside him

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.

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

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.

 

KSI ATH3NA 7:

did an amazing job on my team with spirit week stepping in last minute and got the win and does an amazing job on discord and always has something to say

 

Director:

KSI Uppish 7:

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.

The reasons why I believe KSI Uppish 7 deserves this award are he's always there to talk if you need him if you need to ask him a question, he normally has an answer for you and whenever you need someone given, they're roles in the discord server you can normally go to him, and he'll give them their roles right away if not a little bit later or he direct you to someone else if he won't be able to get them any time soon but all in all he is a very helpful leader of the Divisions he is over and always a fun guy to talk too.

Uppish is like, pretty cool. Should totally give him awards. Nah, Dobby and I have been through some trying times this year, but we've made it through mostly unscathed. The difficult decision making hasn't lacked at all, and really put us to the test within our prospective ranks! Watching him thrive as a director, and provide his input to leaders throughout the community has been pretty awesome to witness. He has a never give up attitude to the point where some could consider it beating a dead horse, but ya know what? There were a couple of horses left for dead that he managed to revive, and now they're healthier than ever. Sure, they need their follow-up appointments and such, but they're actually healthy, rather than seemingly healthy enough to place at the horse show.

As a Director within KSI, Uppish doesn’t have his work cut out for him, at all. He’s pulled in a 3 way tie for first, and the finish line is never in sight. He doesn’t let this stop him though. As someone who’s RL is hella hectic, he still makes time for those who need him. He’s always at my beck and call if you will, making sure that I have whatever it is I need to move WD forward. Up doesn’t take no for an answer, anyone who knows him knows this to be true. He finds that .00000000001 chance hole in something and turns it into the most fathomable outcome needed to continue to make things great. He’s been a HUGE factor in the turnaround of WD, as has been a respectable teacher moving our staff forward.

Although we haven't talked about much other than clan ops which is our job. He has been not only a great acting 7 but a great mentor and motivator. He has helped Abaddon with so much since we split off from vanquish and for that reason he deserves this award.

KSI Uppish has been nothing but helpful to me as I continue to learn my role as General of Abaddon. He is there whenever I have questions or if I need guidance on something. He advises and always says you don't need to take it, but it's a thought. He is actively listening and engaged, so it doesn't feel like I'm talking to a door or whatnot. It's been beneficial these past few months as I'm finding my staff and squad's footing. I'm grateful for what he has done for our Division and can't see what else he has in store for us.

Mr. Uppy can sometimes be that annoying crab grass in your perfect lawn. That you always step on when bare foot. But other times can be that trusty and rusty old pick up you can always rely on to get ya where ya need to go, no matter the weather or the distance he'll ride with ya till the end. Uppish has given so much time and dedication to Clan Ops this year and hes done amazing to say the least. From aiding in WD to develop leaders and officers, to helping out ES re brand and re grow as a division, also while staying up to date in CS as well. He's a young lad whos still working on maturity in some ways but hes always learned and come out better from these experiences. Hes been my right hand man since becoming a director and proven his abilities to be a fine leader of the community and has earned respect and love from all divisions this year which is a win win as a director.

KSI Uppish 7 deserves this award for a few big reasons. He has been over WD during my time here in Vanquish. He has not had an easy job by any means during this time. Dealing with a squad split in general is a nightmare. Not only did Vanquish split which means having to do all the necessary checks and balances, this was no ordinary squad split. with over 100 members at the time that is a lot of people to over see and unsure don't get lost in the cracks. He is always hanging out with members and asking how we are doing as officers. And now is currently over 2 divisions both with minimal 7s staff leaving a lot to do for both.

 

 

KSI Slick 7:

Starting this year it was just me and slick working along side one another try handle the whole clan ops scene, is been working crazy hours with his job in irl and still makes time to spending time with the members, I’m so proud of how hard he work behind the scene that a lot of people don’t see and how much he cares about every single member, that’s why i pushed for him to get moved to Senior Director at Spirit Week and that’s what he got. Me and him still working together today to push clan ops for the better and I’m proud to see where he takes clan ops.

Slick is one person that i have always seen work but never knew how he worked until talking to him. After chatting with him i 100% appreciate and respect him. His advice as a leader is the type that affects you in a long-term way. Just off his experience in this community. Slick is one person listen when speaking. He got wisdom like Yoda, but when he has to handle business got aura of Darth maul. At the same time, man got a great sense of humor. Being the fact he a is big COD player. Just being in a party with him is a great time.  Slick is no question a great leader to follow.

Well he hasn’t been a regular Director for a hot minute. But the first half of the year Slick was a Director over all the Divisions at one point or another. He helped me work on some issues CS had at the time. Slick is rock solid and he is always there when you need him (KSI clichés, ikr I’m sorry lol). He takes his time to understand situations and then deal out punishment, advice, and words of wisdom accordingly. Slick is never afraid to be wrong or change his mind, and most importantly he inspires those above, around, and below him to continue improving. To be better. To contribute in whatever way they can. Slick is often a beacon of guiding light when things go sideways, we lift each other up and move forward together as a team. I have a lot of love and respect for you bro and I don’t say it often enough, so thank you. Here's to a better 2023 amigo!

 

Division Leader:

KSI Shatner7:

My man Shatner, I once told him i felt under qualified to be his gen. Him being where he is proves it. Shatners worth ethic is one to follow or if you want to say you are busy. Ask him how much he juggles. Still is here running a div. He may not always be seen. But the behind-the-scenes stuff is what this dude legit kills. when I chat with him, man sound like a tiger still eating. Dude is on top of his Poop. As a friend, shatner is a great person to have in your corner. I have had multiple times where dude has helped me through a rough time.

Shartner is a amazing person , he been through a lot over the last year, he hasn’t stop being mentor towards his leaders and members below him. Members come to him for advice all the time , he always there for them.

It’s hard to find where to start this one, Shatner is family honestly. When things got bad for me IRL, the man offered to fly me out and give me a new start. Something he’s done more than once. He’s always been accepting of my flaws not only as a leader but as a person and never tried to push me away or dip on me. He’s been there with me through everything this year. To speak on some KSI related things, he’s the main man that taught me the general rank. He let me make my mistakes, but taught me how to fix them aswell. He never tapped out on my squad or me, even when things were looking really bad. Shatner is a one-in-a-million friend, you’ll never find another like him. When he says he’s got you, he means it. Keep doing what your doing brotha, great things from here <3

Shatner has been around the block, he’s like Jenny ya know? He’s seen the high’s and low’s of what a div can do. Throughout it all, he’s stood tall and never faltered. Shatner helps even if you’re NOT in his div. He’s a man you can go to with questions, and he gives you 100 different outcomes, without telling you “what he would do”, but pushes you in the direction you should go in. When it comes to CS though, he loves his members. He’s always there, just a message or inv away. As a teacher, Shatner stands true to what KSI was founded on, and lets nothing stop him from molding his members. He is a fantastic friend to have, as well as a mentor for those in need.

Shatner has displayed exemplary leadership this year to say the least. The guys been put through the grinder a few times this year and has not once turned his back on his people. From loosing 7s staff, to loosing generals and entire officer cores hes continuously pushed through all obstacles with his head held high using transparency and quality communication skills to keep life thriving in his division.  Hes pushed his 7s staff and generals to want more then the average mean. Hes a friend and mentor to many but most importantly the growth of his mindset has been astounding this year. From learning how to be a Div Leader to mastering the craft damn near he's grown tremendously without even realizing it. Shatner is a valuable asset to our community and deserves the recognition for it!

 

Co-Founder:

KSI Wldmama7:

Mama is a great person to be around. She dedicate a lot of her time to make sure her members are getting the best experience they can be. She has been through a lot this year , especially with the recent incident with her division “ES”, that didn’t stop her for pushing and stand her ground strong and ready to take ES to the next level, she is well known across the community and a friend to all

Not only has she helped keep activity up, but she has been the mother of everyone within the community. From the ups and downs Mama has been the ideal positivity spreader. Thank you for everything you do.

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.

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.

As one of my fellow Co-Fo’s here, I get to talk with Wld a lot. She is earnest, sweet, and utterly amazing. She doesn’t care about herself, but about her members. She has literally been put through the firey pits of hell, and has come back fighting with a life shining brighter than a friggin diamond. When it comes to the restructure of ES, Wld, for a lack of words, is what is keeping them afloat. She pushes to make things better. She’s letting nothing stop her in her feat of making sure ES still carries on. Between her RL and KSI, she's STILL here making the best for her members. Honestly, Wld deserves this with just the struggle she has been put through, and continues to take head on with no questions asked.

This person deserve because she works very hard of being a co founder . She has helped me out alot. she will give you advice to help your squad no matter what. she is a great person to talk to about the knowledge of KSI. she will help anyone out.

Ksi WldMama7 has gone through so much ups and down. Just by watching everything she when there where most people would have folded she did not she pish through and saw a silver lining through the thick and then she really is a strong leader . She inspire so many people . She always does.

Absolutely astounding leader right here! No joke no bull all raw. Wld has been a heartful leader since joinng the 7s staff of ES. Shes always asked good questions, not to just gain knowledge for herself but to gain perspective and knowledge to aid her members and aspiring officers. This individual to me is one of those "give a sh!t" people, you can blatantly tell this person cares more than the average. From hosting 5 hour game nights to include quite literally everyone, to spending hours and hours in parties with member answering questions and mentoring the new potential officers. When her director, div lead, and fellow co founder as well as an entire officer core and 1/3 of a squad decided to depart KSI nearly simultaneously she could have chose the easy route and throw in the towel. BUT she didnt, she busted her but for her members, and gave more than most for not just a couple weeks but now months. Her stride and never ending go getter attitude and refusal to give up has been a major reason ES is still with us today. This is one leader who will go far and not even realize the massive impact they have on the community. Selfless, devoted, committed, and loyal are the four words I would use to sum up Wld. Its been a sight to see how far shes come in this year and im beyond excited to see where she goes from here!

I feel this member deserves the of the year. For having extraordinary integrity and grit staying to help their divison and being the constant they needed when it was in a dark time and helping to rebuild the mess someone else left.

Wild has seen ES through a lot of turmoil and turbulence this year. She’s done a great of job of being a good friend and leader to ES. When I came to ES after the mass exodus of every single other officer & 7 except WildMama. She did not complain, she was understandably worried but sat down & asked me “what’s next?” That’s one of the hallmarks of an A++ KSI leader, unfazed and determined to build ES back better than it was before. Not having worked with her much prior, I was pleasantly surprised that she had that level determination and work ethic. Wild has had my upmost respect from that day on. 2023 is gonna be a good year for and WildMama is #1 reason why.

 

KSI Nyquil 7:

Nyquil is one of the most influential people in my life this homie has helped me through every endeavor I’ve faced in the community and in real life. This man has built our squad up and is trying to better the community squad by squad. He bends himself backwards for people.

As a General, Sleepy had a tougher beginning and had to re-evaluate his squad a bit. However, as he gained traction in the newly rebranded Oblivion, his squad and officer corps grew and flourished. Sleepy grew immensely as a person and leader during his time as General. While his real life issues were consistently plaguing him as a General, he never let them get him down for long. Always coming back to keep pushing forward. Sleepy did a tremendous job setting up the structural foundations in Oblivion and putting leaders in place to execute them. Keep up the good work Sleepy!

if I'm be honest this man deserves more credit than he has gotten for helping keep a squad afloat with the lack of officer he has had to struggle with since being a general. He recently got promoted to Co Founder. So I'm happy to see the chance of a repeat OTY winner.

Nyquil was my general when I first came to Oblivion. He did everything he could to progress me as far and fast as I wanted to go. He pushed, he trained, he taught and he educated. Even now, he’s over more than one squad he still makes time for Oblivion.

For one, without this dude Nyquil. I can't say i would ever meet deku and Sm0ke. That being said. Sleepy is easily one of the most successful and influential members that has come out of CS hands down. I straight admire dude on how he operates. Besides being HoE. Dude stays on top of his duties. Clearing recruits in a timely manner to just being a go to person from both a leader and friend perspective. Besides being a successful member. Sleepy carries himself like a person in his position should. I can't think of a situation where he hasn't had some form of a answer to a problem he was brought. Man sets a good path for anyone looking to be great

Sleepy has been through a lot this year , not just KSI , but I’m his personal life, I’m not going to speak on his personal life but I’m KSI , Sleepy is dedicated to build a stronger foundation within his division every single day , he strives to keep thing consistent and building his leaders within his division to become stronger

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.

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.

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!

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.

I've watched this guy go through every situation imaginable in each rank, and he's always managed to come out on top. He's one that you never count out, because it'll be the worst mistake you could make. He'll be the best at whatever he does, just to prove you wrong. Some could certainly consider it petty, and there's a time where I wouldn't necessarily disagree...but...BUT, he's grown along the way, and his heart and mind are in it for the right reasons. I remember the aha moment when he realized how to turn his squad around as a GEN, and that's a big part of what's lead to where he his now. That moment changed his perspective and approach, and it's what unlocked the LVL 99 blinged out All Star within him. That's shown no signs of slowing since his step up to co-founder, as he continues to shine and spread his excellence across the division.

 

General:

KSI Stack:

Has proved he is a great leader and holds to his word.

Stack and his squad has been through a lot this year, but he always bounces back. No matter what you throw at the man, he always figures it out. His attention to detail and unwavering drive are some of the main attributes that contribute to his squad’s success. As far as his attention to detail goes, he’s a power house with paperwork. He’s always on time and goes in depth to explain his topics/situations with great detail. Stack is a great example of what it means to be a gen, I’ve asked him multiple times if he’d like to go to Cofo one day or what his goals in this community are and he always replies with something along the lines of “ I’d just like my squad to be healthy”. His squad is his true love in the community, I have no doubt in my mind that you’ll see great things from him this coming year.

Stack is the definition of tubthumping. He gets knocked down, but he gets up again, you're never going to keep him down! He took over a squad that was in dire straights, and very well could've closed, but his work ethic, attention to detail, and dedication to his members prevented that from happening. He seriously eats, sleeps and breathes KSI to the point where he has to be told to take a break, rather than advised lol! You'd be hard pressed to find a more involved General than Stack, and he's a huge part of what makes this division and community so great.

is always there for people + grown a lot in a year plus always there for everyone no matter what.

I believe Stack deserves this award because his performance speaks for itself. As a Discord Mod Stack has been consistent, and takes accountability for his short comings. He has his own niche to promote activity in the Community server which is his Question of the Day. He brings new ideas to the server and is always looking for ways to improve the department.

 

KSI Nezuko:

Ever since I come over to CS and into Oblivion, Nezuko has always been there when he’s needed. If you are having a Poopy day, just get him into a party. The first words out of his mouth will brighten your day up. He is also a fair and honest leader. He’s not perfect but he’s still my only choice for General of the year.

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. 

Nezuko has been exceedingly helpful to me in my reacclimation to KSI after my hiatous. Anytime i've had a question, an issue or whatever Nez has been right there helping me learn and grow. I haven't been back for super long but Nezuko has definately been a big part of continuing my enjoyment and drive in helping others yet again.

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. Not only do I feel he deserves this award, I also feel that next year/in the future he will definitely progress to do even greater things for Oblivion CS

Nezuko was a phenomenal Captain, always on top of paperwork and working with POs. He ran the squad in my absence a few times and never did bad. I’d even come back to a better squad sometimes. If you gave him a task, he’d complete with ease and in a timely manner. He dealt with a lot ranking up due to the health of our squad at the time but never gave up. When he got to Captain is when he really started to shine, he found his voice and sense of direction on his own.

Nezuko was really this sort of meek and mild mannered kid, who didn't speak unless spoken to, kept to himself a lot, and just wanted to be a good member. Over time, he decided to step up and progress through the ranks, eventually earning his way to Captain under Nyquil. Nyquil had some serious IRL events happen, and it was just Nezuko left to run things. He took the initiative to help train POs, mentor them, and grow his squad to keep them healthy and alive. Without him taking such initiative, Oblivion could have easily fallen. During all of this, he came out of his shell and built his own leadership style, which is what lead to to easy decision to promote him to General once Nyquil moved up to Co-Founder. Where many have fallen and given up, he stayed and prevailed.

 

KSI StarFire:

StarFire deserves this award because of her outstanding work ethic. Since she stepped up as an officer it has been nothing but where can I help, and what can I do? Striving to learn the next ranks, working with her officers whenever they need her and always supporting them to make the right decisions. She took charge of Abaddon after the Vanquish squad split and has done nothing but work to keep things running smoothly and efficiently and their squad performance shows it.

The reasons why she deserves this award are that she is always willing to game or hang out with everyone in WD equally she'll invite people who aren't in her squad to come play with her and her squad members and always makes us laugh and tries to have fun gaming with everyone she'll join discord calls and make us all laugh and talks about her experience in the military and in KSI and just an amazing person to hang out with encouraging her members to hang out with other members in KSI and have fun talking to them get to know them like a family and has been on top of things during times of trouble and times of peace.

Picture this, Sicily 1912… jk jk. But seriously, WD 2022… Vanquish revamp. Newly transferred, never really wanted to be on a staff. StarFire dove in DEEP, not just with her feet, but head first. She backflipped and hit the ground running. This woman, she’s just amazing. Her “montre” was to make WD great again, and did it with flying colors. Work didn’t phase her in the least. She balanced her RL (son and husband), with her school life (college girl!!!), and community life, and made it look EASY. There wasn’t a task given she couldn’t do, or at least wouldn’t go down trying her hardest, and still does. As the General of the newest squad in WD, Abaddon, she doesn’t let things get the best of her. She fights for her members and keeps them moving in the general direction of forward. WD definitely wouldn’t be where it is now without her hard work and massive dedication put forth. She deserves this Gen OTY, and that’s all I have to say about that.

idk where to start. she has been a great leader and GEN, we were all so eager to give up and she said **** no which goes along way with some people. Although she is a new to GEN she is doing amazing work and Our staff could not ask for much more.

Even before becoming General over Abaddon, she has tackled every challenge presented to her head on. Being a General for the first time over a new squad is always going to have its challenges and problems, but time and time again, Star has proven that she is more than capable of handling the responsibility and giving the rank the respect it deserves. If it wasn't for her and her officers, Abaddon would of crashed and burned in the first week of being formed. She has strived to promote activity within the squad through consistent gamenights and hangouts ran by herself and her officers and encourages the POs within the squad to participate through co-hosting and recruiting. Since the start of Abaddon, she has earned the respect and loyalty of everyone in the squad through her work ethic, commitment and friendliness. She is an important piece to the puzzle and absolutely deserves to be where she is now.

that would be because she's worked her arse off, bringing what was a quickly down spiraling squad back to life. Of course it wasn't by her self but it would of never happened if she wasn't here giving much needed support.

 

KSI Pathfinder:

so this man has done a hell of a job as a general u normally don’t see good generals as often as I have recently but I have he is a hard worker the life of vanquish WD key player in KSI as a whole from being a general watching over everyone constantly making sure officers do there job not hesitating to take more responsibility on himself I’m able to call him at anytime of day and get response from him dealing with Problems to him being in the LC and another department I can’t remember off top of my head let’s just say I’ve been in this community for going on 4 years so I’ve seen a lot of generals in my day and he is one of the best on my list he’s open to new ideas and doesn’t stray from always trying to make squad and community better

path has always been here for anyone who’s needed advice with situations when available and he is always willing to help anyway possible and has helped me along side other officers and vanquish staff and members to help in me getting where I’m at today and for the reasons above is why i believe you should be nominated.

Path left KSI a while back but came back with a vengeance this year. He hasn't been a General for very long, but you can see that he's taking his squad places. He protects not only his officers but his members. He has taken the time to get to know them and create friendships that I'm sure will be unbreakable as he makes his mark in KSI. Of course, he's had his ups and downs, but he doesn't seem to be afraid to dust himself off and get back in the fight. I'm very grateful he's in our Division as we continue to build and make WD great again.

Pathfndr does a lot for the community even while he’s busy. He proves day in and day out that he can do more than what he thinks he can do and shows and guides people in the right direction at all times. He’s helped build Vanquish on the grounds that we will never give up and keep moving forward.

This  man has  very worked on becoming the Gen. Once he became Gen of vanquish , a  squad that treats everyone like  family something I noticed this man . he always down to help give a hang and give knowledge out to anyone who needs it and is a nice guy. And knows how to drive the Staff and keep everyone happy.

 

KSI Mamatank:

there’s so much to say about this person she wakes up early to check up on everything whenever you check her parties she’s always with a bunch of people she’s always helping out everyone she possibly can and she’s very knowledgeable of her stuff.

This year has been a rollercoaster for Samurai, but even with her real life changing constantly, Mamatank has been doing her best to maintain Samurai, she went above and beyond, doing her Gen duties while working! She will be up late at night to get her tasks done before going to bed, she will squeeze in time to hang with the members.  She has worked very hard this year to keep samurai to the standard that it has been, but she is always pushing to have Samurai better, by getting with her officers and establishing a game plan make samurai is always busy doing something, and is not afraid to ask for help when she needs it. I am excited to see what samurai will look like in 2023!

 

Captain:

KSI Sasuke08:

Sasuke has shown and guided many members not just in the past but also continues to with me and many others. I’ve seen this man even when he’s dead tired still train people or is checking on members to make sure everyone is doing well. He shows up day in and day out and also gives many people encouragement to continue along with training or games with them to make many members feel included.

Sasuke deserves this award because of his eagerness to help when and where he can. No matter what the situation or circumstance I know without a doubt, I can count on him. I can count on him to have ideas, suggestions, and recommendations for anything thrown at him. He embodies what it means to be a CPT. He isn't afraid to jump in and help resolve issues, he communicates, he is a mentor to JaxyBoi, and he is always happy to work with any of our POs to get them trained and ready to move up.

 

KSI Swanny:

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.

Swanny is great dude, he’s always pushing out events and promoting anything within his division. He’s great with member retention, even getting to those harder to reach members. He’s a down to earth person and that makes him easy to talk to, you can check his account any time he’s online and I promise you he’s hanging out with his members. Keep it up Mr.Swanson, can’t wait to see what this year has planned!

 

KSI Tiberius#194:

The reasons why I believe KSI Tiberius#194 deserves this award is he steps up when absolutely needed every time anyone needs help he tends to go above and beyond the call of duty to help them out and takes charge of a situation whenever it is needed he puts up with a lot of stuff and always seems to have a cool head about it even when times get tough.

Tiberius has been a strong force within Samurai WD for a very long time. He’s a “no holds bars” kind of man. He’s knowledgeable, and if there’s something he doesn’t know, dude will blow you up about it. Ti is the kind of staff member who sticks his neck out too. His heart lies with his squad, his members. He’s gone above and beyond for them, and doesn’t let anything stop him from going forward. Ti learns quickly, and trains hard from what he’e been taught. He lets absolutely nothing stop him from his goals within his squad.

dude has been putting in the work every single day no matter how tired this man is he’s always on dealing with anything that needs to be dealt with and he tries to get with everyone as best as he can and he’s always learning more and more each day

He works very hard as a captain. He makes sure that Samurai is running good when Im not on. He is a great officer always on top of things. Im glad he is my right hand man I cant ask for more.

is always there for myself and others members no matter what.

This gentleman has been a blessing to Samurai WD this year. From holding down the fort when his general was away mulitple times to mentoring and training the new potential and aspiring officers. Hes learned so much in such a short time and not held back for anything. Hes been a staple and icon for Samurai since his arrival and im looking forward to see where he goes next in his KSI career.

 

 

KSI Deku:

Deku has been one of the officers that have come to me and asked if i ever need anything or have any questions even when I don't come to them first. Deku has helped me learn the new ins and outs of KSI since my return which has been a great boon to me regetting my footing.

Deku was a great SSGT, his ability to self educate was amazing. He took to the forums to learn everything he could before we even had an opportunity to teach him. He was very “by the book” and punctual, honestly one of his greatest qualities as an officer. He’s a very pure hearted person with one goal, to help whoever he can. That’s rare to find nowadays.

I have firsthand seen this dude at work. Dude is like a raging bull when it comes to being a officer. Any set back is just more fuel added to the fire he is going to use to go. His work ethic is phenomenal, once he gets started. He stops for sleep and food. Then back at it. Definitely a go getter. Dude is a quick learner and is efficient with what he learns. Has a creative and outside of the box type of leadership style. No question is going to set new ways how to be successful in this community

 

KSI HEFNER:

KSI Hefner has worked diligently to create a safe and fun gaming community for people of all mindsets. He's able to communicate his thoughts clearly when things need to be done. Hefner has spent hours and hours training potential officers so that they learn the correct order to do things and how to properly handle situations that may arise. He's able to get his officer duties done while also finding time to have fun with the members of his squad. When another officer needs assistance, he's usually the first to offer a helping hand. He's active on discord and Xbox, almost daily. Although he's in a different time zone, he tries his hardest to play with both UK members and US members.

Hefner, has been a very active officer from SSGT to CAPT, when he stepped up I got to know him as a person and officer and we are like minded when it comes to KSI, he cares about the community in a way that brings exclusivity for everyone. His ideas bring new perspective for the rest of the Samurai’s officer core, he has dealt with many issues that have arisen in Samurai with unbiased view. He presents professionalism as a captain and member of KSI. I am excited to see what this year will bring for him.

Dudes been a solid guy this past year. Learning how to be an officer and working with fellow officers to learn more and more. He's still young in his career but has the potential to go further than he knows. With the right will power and guidance this guy could make some waves and impacts for sure.

 

KSI Nugget65:

this man has worked his life off to make sure our members are happy. he has given up his own time to join parties and double check if anyone needs help or just to game which makes a lot of our members happy and wanting to stay in the community.

 

KSI Baxsaa:

Bax deserves this award for numerous reasons, and it would probably take a whole page if I took the time to write down every reason. First off, he's a freaking fantastic Captain, and I'm grateful I have him in my squad. He's a great recruiter and is constantly hoping for parties to hang out with our members. He's always right there when I need extra help and ready to dig in and get stuff done. He cares about his work and want's to do the best he can. He wants our squad to succeed and has put in so many hours to ensure we continue moving forward in the right direction. He is always there to help his fellow officers there and doesn't look down on you if you aren't figuring something out; he will work you through the problem. I'm so glad he's a part of my squad and is a huge asset and friend.

Baxsaa has been one of the most active officers since Abaddon was formed. He is easily the most efficient recruiter in the squad as well as does his best to maintain activity within the squad through gamenights.

 

Lieutenant:

KSI TurtleOG:

My man Turtle, this guy reason for even becoming a officer is one i relate to. Wanting to show how a officer is supposed to act. He has had his own knock downs but how he recovered is easily compared to how rocky fought Ivan. Man has been killing it. Any assignment i give him. He does it with no hesitation. Takes criticism like how romans chiseled statues. Turtle is a great person to have in your corner, from his loyalty as friend to his great work ethic as a officer. Plus, he is a great member. Dude can have a diamond-built house on Minecraft in a matter of days. Regardless of difficulty. Keep up the great work

KSI Togax:

When Togax joined Oblivion, she came out the gate firing with both guns blazing. She was bringing in tons of recruits, she was gnawing at the bit to get her officer workshops done, and she was just absolutely grinding. Now that she’s a Lieutenant she spreads that energy to those POs who she trains, as well as recruits she brings in. She is a great leader and is going to make a great General one day

Togax has been very welcoming in all of her parties that I've been in. She always goes above and beyond to make sure that everyone feels welcome and safe in her parties, members and officers alike.

Toga is always trying to bring people together in parties and have interactions. Very sweet individual who wears their heart on their sleeve. Has made me feel welcome and included in everything she's done and has been integral in helping me relearn the ropes as i move up the ranks. Toga is a LT that deserves to move up as she cares deeply about the community.

Since meeting Toga after recently joining KSI, Toga has been nothing but helpful and kind, and she has always helped me out when I was struggling with either getting my name changed, or with getting forums things done, etc., Toga has been helpful and kind and patient the whole way and it’s made me feel very welcomed in the community. I feel she has been a great supporter for everyone I’ve heard talk with her and she’s always a great person to have around and I believe that’s a great quality to have as a person and as a community member.

she is amazing when it comes to making a safe space for people to hangout and just fully relax and that goes along way with members and other officers Aswell. she truly is a great officer and she deserves this award

 

KSI JaxyBoi:

Jaxy doesn’t have the natural talent to learn things easy but when it comes to him he will work hard to master what he’s not good at I think that’s his biggest thing going for Jaxy I started training Jaxy from when he was a Sgt helped guide him but what looked like he was struggling with things would just put in the hard work and improve and to this day he’s shown to be a hell of a LT from helping train his replacement to honestly being more active than me constantly doing gamenights in party’s with members to being free when things need to get done he’s never shied from the hard work he just keep pushing and learning and becoming better I look forward to wherever he ends up

this man has been solid to the core and has definitely went beyond what he had to just to help me with my becoming of an officer alone side many others and goes beyond to help anyone as much as he can and I’d like to recognize him for everything he’s done for me and vanquish as a whole this is my reasoning why jaxyboi shoud receive this nomination.

Jaxy is the epitome of what a LT needs to be. He’s a member within WD who loves his squad, his Div, and his community. He’s always asking questions to better himself, as well as to push his squad forward. Jax is a force to be reckoned with in Vanquish. He loves his members and doesn't care what he has to do to help them. He takes out members and PO's for recruiting, loves his impromptu gamenights, and encourages learning throughout the community. No matter the time, if anyone needs something, Jax is there. He’s a strong force within Vanquish, and will continue to be so.

Jaxy is an amazing individual. He's a fantastic member and officer. He's always trying to hang out with the squads in WD and doesn't just stay with his squad members. He also goes out of his way for his members and is constantly improving himself, professionally and as a friend. I'm delighted to have this guy in our Division.

Where to start with this one. From the very start Jaxy came in with a "Let's Go" attitude. He immediately came in looking to help. From recruiting to being active to wanting to be an officer. He has been non stop since he came in. Every time I talk to Jaxy he is doing something to help this community we call Home. He is not one to go recruiting for numbers, he is constantly out there looking though. He has helped solve issues when and where he can. And he is always looking to help more. The biggest reason I believe he deserves this award is because of his growth, when Jaxy first showed his interest in being an officer he was a bit of a mess. He was all over the place and struggled sometimes with being professional when he needed to. Now when I look at the way Jaxy holds himself or talks in party's, it's a night and day difference. He knows when he needs to be professional and he knows when its time to have fun. He is going to do great things in this community past what he already has and I can't wait to see where he goes.

 

SSGT:

KSID0ngus:

D0ngus has made her mark in Samurai quickly, she doesn’t take crap from anyone, but she can also be sweet, she helps those who ask without hesitation and has become one of the best SSGT’s I have seen. She is always in parties with the members, and she gets her assignments done.  I am excited to see what she will be like as an LT.

 

KSI 0GSM0KE:

This man Sm0ke. Ever since I've met him. He has had an ambition that you don't see every day. That "by any means" type of mentality. Dude is a great trainer. Has had people joining his party regularly for advice. He is the type of dude you can rely on to do wxyz but also get you stuv. Man has a great work ethic. Definitely a man of his word, if he tells you he is going to do something. Don't even question he will do it. Otherwise, you will disappoint yourself. I look forward to seeing him run his own squad. Definitely has the admirations of a leader. Keep it boss man

If weren't for him I wouldn't be in KSI, he has been a good sport to others around him and he is chill.

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.

Smokes want to learn and teach was second to none. He was a literal sponge, he absorbed any bit of knowledge given to him. He used every moment as a learning experience and worked on his weaknesses while building his strengths. His ability to teach is phenomenal, he’s relatable and personable. He also picks up on how individuals learn very quickly to adjust his workshops or behind the scenes talks to better help the individual.

KSI DC77:

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.

 

KSI Azrael 7:

When Azrael came back to clan ops, as joined my squad, I thought oh ok, another 7 rejoining clan ops. But he was more than that. He hit the ground running, getting all the workshops needed and really stepping back into a leadership position. He loves to talk to younger members and give advice on success within the community. I’m honored to have him as a pilar within my squad.

 

Azrael is a a great guy. He always helps out others and makes sure everyone is always having a good time. He’s always a good energy to have around and is just all around a good person to hang out with and have in a community.

Azrael came into this community ready to learn, unlike a lot of old 7s that come in there was no sense of entitlement. He was he to work and earn his way back to the top. His ability to adapt to the new methods of this community is insane. He comes with an experienced approach to situations and is a well of knowledge and history for KSI. I have no doubt Azrael will make his way back to the top.

My guy Azrael is natural born leader, since coming back into KSI he has already been making a impact into his squad and divisions, he is a great mentor and a great person to be around , I’m glad that he did decide to come back and the sky is the limit for my boy AZ

 

KSI Rita 7:

Rita has gone out of his way in order to teach those that are new to Carnage even tho he has a very busy life

Rita, Rita is, well, just freaking amazing. This man has been through the rough of it in WD. When Poop hit the fan back in Nov here, he stayed. He pushed through, and gave in to the coming back as an officer to make sure Carnage didn’t fall. He’s been an utterly GOD SEND in the rebuild of this squad. For a few weeks he was the only staff member that Carnage had, and persevered through everything I asked, with no questions asked. When dealt with a task, he gives it 110%, going above and beyond. Without RIta, I can honestly say Carnage wouldn’t be where it is now. He’s part of the heart that keeps beating here, and wholeheartedly deserves SSGT OTY just because of this.

 

KSI Dritish:

hes new to the core but he is doing amazing and is trying to help the best he can. For that he also deserves this award.

Driftish has been working really hard these past few weeks. He's also run into a lot of ups and downs and has his own struggles, but he keeps moving forward, refusing to quit and give up. He is still learning to be the best officer and is always looking for ways to help increase member retention.

Driftish deserves this award because he is always working to improve himself. He is consistently looking for ways to help and grow in his role. He is always working with the squads POs and has stepped up in his role as an officer to help grow Abaddon after the Vanquish squad Split.

 

SGT:

KSI Pastries 7:

You would be hard pressed to find a SGT that is more active than Ol’ Man Pastries. Super SGT 4th Class Donut reports for duty almost every day ready to game and have fun. Pastries is consistently active and gaming with members from every squad and all 3 Divs. He’s always down to cohost his favorite games to help keep gamenights fresh and interesting too. He has helped his squad and Div through good times and bad by helping keep members active and engaged when squads are short on officers who can be there. 4SGT Donut is beloved by members from all over KSI and more than deserving of SGT OTY for 2022.

KSI Remiwest:

This guy remi, where to begin. Remi is legit if not the most active sgt in wrath. Man has the best record of game night attendance. I dare someone to argue differently. Not only is his attendance phenomenal, but this dude is a legit cartoon character. When he laughs, you can won't be able to help yourself but laugh with him. He is a fun-loving person to be around. He is definitely the live of the party when he is around. His reactions are historically. Remi is a good dude. He is one i would recommend being around if you are looking have good time with

KSIxFryed420:

Fryed deserves this award because he has exemplified what it means to be a SGT in KSI. He started off by being a member we saw and talked to periodically. Somewhere along the line he decided it was time for him to step up. He started being more active and coming to party's at all hour and with people from all walks. He has grown out of his shell to become more involved in the squad and began Co-Hosting gamenights constantly. If there was a gamenight going on you could expect him to reach out to Co-Host. He struggled to get used to the role of recruiting but has come a long way from the beginning and he has a lot of potential for growth and consistency in the future

 

KSI Onehand8:

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.

 

KSI Mayor 7:

If youve ever played with him then you would understand. Not only does he bounce parties and make everyone feel included but he also brings fun and laughter into the parties and games he is in. Keep it up.

 

KSIxLEGIONx7:

the way this man approaches everyday and every situation after over 10 years you can come to him for advice or even to vent his party is always open. He loves to give back to community whether its his time knowledge or organizing a giveaway. He is always doing something to help the community.

Legion is just, well, Legion. This man is AMAZING! He’s ALWAYS around. He’s ALWAYS helping. He’s ALWAYS here for Vanquish, and well not just Vanquish, but KSI in general. (Insert his Christmas giveaways). As a weathered Vet of this community, Legion is a phenomenal leader, even as a SGT, but prior Staff member within Vanquish. People flock to Legion because he’s so laid back and loving. WD is lucky to have this man, and honestly, we really are. He is the old school super glue (you know the kind, that one that you could literally dab onto something and would hold together for life???), that keeps WD moving forward.

does Amazing job streaming did an amazing job with the KSI giveaway I loved doing that by the way hopefully we can do another next year

Legion my guy, one of the longest standing member that’s here in KSI , he always willing to give back to the members, with giving gift cards , gt changes and what not, he is a value member that will always a great member here in KSI

 

KSI DarkWolf281:

he is doing amazing as a PO and needs to keep up the good work one day he'll get the promotion he deserves,  but for now he deserves this award.

DarkWolf has had so many ups and downs, especially recently; however that doesn't stop him from wanting to make Abaddon and WD his home. These past few months, he's been grinding with redoing his workshops, recruiting, and even focusing on the members in Abaddon. He has a lot to learn but seems willing to learn and work on himself. He's been an asset to our squad.

 

KSI Shadw:

since ive been around ive noticed that he has always been willing to give a helping hand ive seen him go out his way numerous times even when things were getting rough he stood up and starting helping in anyway he can so thats why i decided to go with this choice

 

CPL:

Senshilove:

Ever since senshi has join ksi. She has been a fun person to be around. From her great sense of humor to crazy attention to detail on games. I played warzone with her on MW2. Legit had the best time for my first time playing it. She is a great teammate to have, win lose draw. She has that warrior in the garden type of aura to her which makes it easy to be yourself around. Happy to have her in wrath

Dabbasaur:

Dabb gets a rough rapp sometimes within Clan Ops. With him high functioning autism, he can be an acquired taste some days. But Dabb doesn’t let this stop him AT ALL. When it comes to this community, Dabb wears his heart on his sleeve and loves the members. He’s always one of the first people to reach out and find out how they are doing, or if they need anything. He will drop what he’s doing to talk to someone. Dabb is that guy who is always around, even if he’s not on, and is always willing to be there no matter what.

 

HungryFatKid:

Mr HFK, meeting this great member has been a great experience, he passion for the community go with no questions in my eyes that he cares about the community, even though he hasn’t change his name he is one of the most active members with in KSI , his positive spirit hanging out with Hungry is always a pleasure to be around

 

 

Forums Staff (Mods, Senior Mods, Admins):

KSI Jewels 7:

Where do I start with Jewels. When jewels first became a join, I didn’t realize it was someone I knew from when I was a Codiv over CD. I think it took a little while before I realized lol. When jewels became a senior join mod, it was just her over all the join mods unlike the normal two seniors join mods we usually have. She was by far the best senior join mod I’d say we have had since I’ve been in the area. Jewels stayed on top of the join mods and would catch any mistakes that were made and was always there to help or answer any questions they might have. She helps train new join mods we hire and excels at that as well. I was so happy to see her work her way to Moderator. It was definitely well earned and I am so proud of all the hard work she has put into this area. Words alone cannot describe how much this area benefits from her. Without her, I don’t think it would be what it is today.

jewels is one of my favorite people the work with, she's super easy to talk to and easy to work with. She is super active and is always on her stuff. She is very hard-working and always shows up

I’ve known her for a long time now. When we were in ES together, she was the first person you’d want to get to know better. She makes the workshops she teaches fun and better understanding. She has such a wonderful and outgoing personality and positive attitude towards everything she embarks on. It’s been an absolute privilege for the roles to be reversed now. She has come back to clan ops and is really showing everyone why she has that 7 next to her name. She is leadership material

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.

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.

When I joined the web ops team me and jewels did not really talk to each other but since I was promoted to Senior join mod we talk almost on a daily basis about the area and any issues I may have. with out her help or guidance for the past few months I wouldn't be the leader I am in the join mod team. she helps me with any issues big or small at almost an hour of the day. Her dedication to the area is unmatched she always has a positive attitude towards the area and any problems we may occur. she has effected many of our join mods and for that I'm sure we are all grateful.

 

KSI Blitz11:

What can I NOT say about Blitz. This man works his BUTT off for Forums. Between his RL and Clan Ops life, he still manages the time to do his Web Ops. He’s always reaching out making sure the 7’s staff is getting with their join/rejoins, whether it be for interviews, recruitments, what have you. (This is highly appreciated as I’m the WD person for the join section). Thank you for everything you do!

in my time as a join mod he helped me alot with everything from the basics to more "Advanced" stuff which goes along ways with a person and he deserves this for that.

 

Department Head:

KSI Paradox7:

oh boy what can I say. This lovely British man puts his heart and soul into his department. He spent MONTHS asking myself and drop ways to better the department. When it comes to being on time this man always delivers. Nothing  is left to worry if the work will get done cuz it’s already done before I even have to ask. Loyalty is an amazing leader and his members adore him. This can be seen in their interactions. This guy was put through the ringer when it comes to the pervious leaders with in the department but he ALWAYS stuck with it and has made it the best it’s ever been. The department is booming and I can say it is the most fun department to be apart of. The dedication it takes to be 100% unbiased in this department is hard. BUT Loyalty takes the time and shows everyone the same respect no matter the beef they might have. This is seen through out the department for everyone. If the board and myself have things we wanted changed or extended something loyalty is always so amazing in allowing us to have the time. Overall with many other good candidates for the award I believe Loyalty has made his department the best this year.

ever since joining aap last year I have watched this man worked super hard to get  aap where it is today. He takes time for any of his staff if you have questions or need someone to chat or to game with he’s always there. he listens to any staff member that may have an idea to benefit in the  department. He takes time to make sure that each member of the department gets the correct training and knowledge they need to be successful. He’s increment a  new system to help any new member, who joined the department to get the correct training. When I come up to senior staff, he sat me down and told me this is what I need to get done and how to go far with in the department . And since my promotion to cohead, we are always communicating to help each other and throwing ideas around to better the department. I believe Loyalty has made his department the best this year and he will continue to do it. He’ll give anyone the tools and the knowledge to be successful we’re ever it is in the community. I see this man as my mentor and that he deserves the OTY award.

The bearded wonder himself has really turned AAP around, especially compared to the wild west it used to be. It's structured, there's accountability, training out the wazoo, and the constant push to help this community and it's members receive the recognition and accolades they deserve. While he may be no Devin Townsend, he's certainly a strapping young lad that has my admiration and respect.

Para, This man is made of magic. AAP has absolutely had a face change thanks to him, and the team he’s put together. If there’s an issue, yo he solves it. He makes sure that people are in the KNOW of awards, even old stuff, and pushes it out to make sure members can obtain the cool sparkly stuff! Para likes to keep things fresh too. I’m seriously looking forward to 2023 and the tricks he has up his sleeve!

I love the work he does to get everyone the awards they need and coming out with newer awards aswell and for that reason he deserves this award.

 

KSI Tea 7:

does Amazing stuff is there when needed makes sure everything goes well and is understanding.

Over this past , Tea has been taking the reign of running all the departments under her wing , she helped run and organized her department team to create events and get information from the members on what they want to see for annual events. She is a spectacular leader and can’t wait to see where she go

I believe that tea deserves this award because since this lady took on the role of HDM she has not only been consistent at what she does but she has also ensured that all the departmens are aware that she is there for them no matter what whether is is with issues or even just to learn that department so that she can help in every aspect that she can, i have known Tea for a few years now and  amd she has always been approachable fair and stern when she needs to be so i wholeheartedly believe that this deserves this award to be recognized for all the hard work she has done

 

Department Member:

KSI Sub 7:

Now how do i put this... KSI Sub 7 or formerly known as KSI SubZero this man has come leaps and bounds in not only My Department of T&E and becoming a senior staff member here but also earning his coveted 7s position by becoming Co-Head of the AAP department and it is seriously well earned despite him constantly doubting his own abilities and trying to under sell himself, but what this man lacks in self confidence in his own abilities he more than makes up for it in dedication, hard work and a true passion for everything he does, now while i could say a whole lot more aboput this guy i wont but what i will say is just keep an eye on this man because he is a great guy and has a very bright future ahead of him and like Atom i cant wait to see what he does in the future

This dude has been going super hard at his job. Man can tell you every award you can get in a matter of minutes. Dude also is a caring individual; he is definitely one i would recommend to someone wanting to know what the definition of KSI is about. He has been through a lot just from what I've seen. Still, he never backs down to show how kind of a person he is. Look forward to seeing this dude go as far as he shoots for, plus more.

SubZero is a amazing guy to play with and definitely shows he is dedicated to this community.

I think everyone one in departments know who to go for when it comes to anything department related. This man puts his all into each department he is. With each annual event this year he was on it! From hosting, to being in the event and even marketing sub was there to help in any way he could. When it comes down to this man is a jack of all trades. From T&E, to AAP to graphics he has done it all and well! When sub came to me asking about doing more I said “do what you think you can” and he did and he proved himself more than anyone has in a very long time. When it came down to us talking about where he  want to go moving forward in departments it was I think the hardest decision he had to make. But in the end AAP is his true calling and so for he is doing a FANTASTIC job. Sub is also the nicest man in this community. I don’t think I have ever not been in a party with him where he is not trying to brighten the mood for everyone. Working with sub has been an absolute pleasure and honor. He absolutely deserves the OTY.

 KSI Shatner7:

Quite simply Shatner is an ideal department Member with his activity throughout the year being consistent and his knowledge is easily that of a senior member if not a head of this department. This member is always in the chats when questions are asked to share the knowledge and wisdom. I appreciate all my staff for all their hard work but shatner always stands out to me because of his workload in other sectors of KSI but is always still a work horse for AAP and its truly a delight to work with him.

KSI LeviMOFB:

My dude put in some amazing work this year, helping to revitalize AAP and shape it into what it is today! Man STAYED up in my DMs making sure I was on task for the things I needed to complete for the department (which i'm highly thankful for, given my crazy schedule), and was always down to hang out and chat it up to check in and see how i'm doing. There's times where he really went above and beyond the role of Senior Staff, and he's become someone I consider a great friend because of it. Without his dedication to AAP, some amazing hidden gems would not have received the recognition they deserved, and things really wouldn't have ran as smooth as they did.

 

KSI Atom 7:

okay so for the past year now mr Atom has been a staple in the T&E department and without this mans help and support with not only weekend warfare events and annual events but also the hiring/promoting/training of new staff members as well as helping establish new guidelines in the expectations of what we want to see from new staff members he has helped me keep my sanity and definitely helped play a part in keeping me here in this amazing community so i do honestly appreciate everything this amazing man has done not only for T&E but this great community and i cant wait to see what his future holds

Plain and simply, Atom is a hard working man when it comes to T&E. He makes the things happen, has an amazing form of communication, and just does what needs to be done. Anytime I have had an issue with an event, or needed something, Atom has ALWAYS been on point with getting News what they need to make an article happen. Time isn’t a question either. Atom is the all around go getter that keeps T&E moving forward, and I’m glad he’s someone I work with often!

Does Amazing stuff in t&e and is very understanding and helpful

 

KSI Shway:

this guy is incredible he’s always working on something even when he doesn’t have to he practically breaths and lives Graphics he always giving the other graphic members a chance to pick up a request if one is open and whenever a graphic member needs help he’s always there to help

 

Member

Goblin ch0pper:

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.

 

KSI Hatter 77:

Hatter's dedication and ability to get traction with the leaders beneath her is simply unmatched in KSI. She is widely respected throughout WD & KSI for her tough no-nonsense attitude. She's been handed a few pretty cruddy situations and made the best of them. Hatter also holds the medal for the only truly successful squad split this year (I say this with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight, but true nonetheless), as both squads are still strong with Generals and officer corps. The whole time she's also been solid in news getting those annual event articles back on track and pushing for more engagement on news stories, trying to really relate them to KSI and what our members care about. Sorry your bandwagon team lost their bowl game tho Hatter, I wanted them to win too :(. Otherwise keep up the phenomenal work and I'm excited to what a new year holds for you Hatter!!

ill be honest when she first came back I had my doubts with the space WD was in. But I'm happy she obliterated those and actually brought the change to a division that was struggling to find its footing and voice. As time went on it was matter of when not if she got the Co Founder spot and she hasn't stopped building. Hope to see what she and WD can accomplish in 2023.

Oh god what to say about hatter so when I first came over to WD it was a whole new vibe for from SL before it got closed but she made WD a home again from her being my general and helping  me move back up Officer core to also being in the info team and head of news let’s just say overall she goes above and beyond with everything she does and doesn’t take Poop from anyone she’s there for her members to the bottom always trying to help where she can I promise if anything is going on in KSI hatter knows about it and is probably trying to help in someway shape or form when it comes to the core values of KSI K-knowledge we know she has that from her years and years of time in KSI S-Strength the strength is pushing through day in day out while also having kids and life outside of KSI and taking more and more responsibility I-Integrity if she says something she will do it

Hatter is always there for her members , she dedicates a lot of her time to make sure her members are feeling like family , making sure that her members feel like KSI is second home for them, she help split her squad within WD , and WD is now in a way better position now from what it was a year ago due to her dedication.

that would be because Hatter has worked day in and day out for KSI. Making sure both officers and members are doing their best to benefit WD. Making sure no one person was slacking off.

She does her best day in and day out to make sure that the division is running the way it should. She has helped me a lot over the past year and even from just before I rejoined KSI. She really does go above and beyond for people, members or not.

Hatter inherited quite a dirty squad when becoming General of Vanquish WD. From hidden fluff, hardly active member base, a lackadaisical officer core, and a brutally underkept omega she had her work cut out for her. She didnt falter, she didnt run and hide, she dived in and got right to work. She put in the hours and the work ethic to not only revive and sustain Vanquish, but to actually split Vanquish into Abaddon 2.0 and did so effectively and efficiently.  Shes put in work non stop so much so she became the first 7 of WD in the year of 2022. And she didnt stop and rest there either. Shes been an absolute beast of a co founder for WD effectively over seeing and aiding all squads with her knowledge and know how. Keeping people and tasks on track at all costs. Shes been a blessing to WD this year and is most certainly  a major contributing factor to WD's success this year

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.

The reasons why I think KSI Hatter77 deserves the award are that when KSI Mamatank went on LOA she stepped up to help Samurai out a lot she helped out in the officer meetings even though she has a lot on her plate to help bring Carnage back to good standings she was there for us as well helping us with scheduling and talking us through some hard times and she is always there if you need to talk stuff out.

has went above and beyond to help out anywhere she can assist while handling her own business and generally a good person to talk to and has a open mind and I feel that hatter deserves this award as my token of appreciation for everything she’s done for me and ksi.

They deserve this award: I've known this remarkable woman since 2019, possibly even at the tail end of 2018. Since I transferred to WD from ES, I've seen her go above and beyond and is constantly kicking ass. She is always one to help out her members and officers and isn't afraid to get her hands dirty. She's a leader who leads and is right there with us. She has been one of the best members, officers, and Co-Fo I've ever met, and I've seen plenty in the years I've been in KSI. She has become my mentor and friend, and I'm grateful for that friendship. If you messed up as an officer, she isn't afraid to let you know and is willing to help you get yourself back on track to where you want to go as an officer. She was a part of a fantastic squad split for Vanquish, which created my team Abaddon. It was a truly remarkable experience to see her work and push toward this goal. She has trained her officers well, and I've enjoyed working with every one of them; because she inspires her people. I'm blessed to have her in my corner.

This person deserves it because with out her knowledge WD would be gone. KSI Hatter 77 is a person I look up to not as any officer but at a person. She will help anyone with anything.  I so glad she is in WD and my 7.

makes sure everything is running smoothly in the Division and community

Hatter has worked hard to get where she is in WD, she has worked tirelessly daily in getting Vanquish to split and now working hard on Carnage to be a better squad, and now helping out Samurai, she is good about listening and does her best to make KSI what it’s suppose to be. She does care about her Division, and her members.

Hatter deserves this award for the reason that she is always checking on people always proving people that she’s in her position for a reason. She shows that even when times are tough to fight back and stand tall and continue pushing forward. Whenever she is ever given a task no matter how big or small or if she’s sick, busy or going through stuff she accomplishes that task and more everytime. She has shown many people the path to become an outstanding officer and it will never change even in everyone’s toughest day. She has shown the meaning of KSI with her immense knowledge, the strength to continue forward after tough times and the integrity that if she messes up she admits it and is always upfront and honest with everyone.

Hatter deserves this award for a multitude of reasons. She has been an influential part of WD since I have been here. From working with and growing Vanquish to a point where we were able to split the squad to being there for the members and officers alike. She is never afraid to jump in and help solve any problems she is able to but knows the balance between life and KSI. She has helped numerous officers grow and understand their roles in the community and provided them with the tools to succeed.  And that's just Clan Ops. She is also the Head of News a department that commonly gets overlooked in this community. As unfortunate as that fact may be it doesn't stop her. She still puts everything she has into making the articles and recaps of events as thorough and detailed as possible. From recaps of events like Fall Classic where she got Screen Shots of Minecraft Build Off entries to recaps of the Call Of Duty events. They are always a reliable account of the events. Under her leadership more articles are coming and with new and exciting topics. All of the areas she is involved in from Clan Ops, News, and the Leadership Council as a department head, Hatter gives it her all. Her love for this community is matched by few. And above all that is what makes a member OTY. A love and dedication to this community that is above and beyond the standard that we all hold. Whatever your reason for being in KSI we all have a love and dedication to this community, I can personally attest to Hatter's for KSI. I have met few with her same level of both but I hope to see more going forward.

cuz she a hard working woman and she has been working very hard to be where she at and still going an showing her members she cares about everyone even when she sick she’s still there to show everyone

 

KSIMelinoe:

she is active everyday in our community and reaching out to hang with members but she does this EVERY day so for that she deserves this award.

Since she has joined KSI, she has been one of the most friendly and welcoming members of WD, if not the entire community. Everyday, she's been in the squad chat saying hello to everyone and welcoming new members to the squad. She's also pitched in with some ideas that have since been added to Abaddon's weekly schedule. Her friendliness is something that we all can learn from.
