='''History'''= Leading up to the events of its creation, KSI had been under attack by Hydra on an almost weekly basis. As a part of these attacks, [[KSI ELDERPOOT 7]] and [[KSI ToXiiC 7]] were active in the clan [[XDG]] and strategically sent to cause issues in KSI's infrastructure. Immediately upon rejoining the clan current Admin [[KSI KERED 7]] gave Elderpoot and ToXiiC Web Admin roles. Elderpoot sharing an interest in Clan Ops, approached [[KSI BIGBT KC]], the CEO at the time, about taking on a division. After some talks with Kered and some reluctance, Elderpoot was given an opportunity over [[Synthetic Reality]] which was a division that had recently been attacked by Hydra and suffered significant loss. After about 3 months of trying to rebuild with no significant gain, BT suggested Elderpoot hand the division over to someone else and resume his web responsibilities. Elderpoot not liking this decision, spent the next 2 months causing problems in the discord server, and actively trying to create dissent between members and leadership publicly. Amid the drama, it was discovered that Elderpoot had previously been in a clan that was currently attacking us shortly before he joined. BiGBT responded by removing Elderpoot from KSI, for his consistent attempts to affect clan morale and his connection to the clan [[XDG]]. A few hours after that decision was made, Kered announced that he was overturning BT's decision instead of [[KSI JT 7]], the KSI Webmaster/Co-Owner. This created a rift between the two primary leaders in KSI (BT/JT). The following days had [[XDG]] on the website actively campaigning against KSI leadership unchecked by Admins/Mods (Kered, Elderpoot, ToXiiC). The clan discord became an epicenter for drama, and a group chat called "Operation Paperclip" invited several leaders, members, and web department staffers. This group chat was a staging area, where Kered and Elderpoot had devised a plan to depose KSI clan leadership via coup making Kered and Elderpoot the primary clan leaders in KSI. Web staff were initially on board with many clan leaders/members leaving the chat because of its dishonest approach. Word spread to BiGBT and other primary senior leaders and BiGBT reacted by blacklisting both Kered and Elderpoot for their attempt to overthrow Clan Ops leadership. This move was quickly reversed by JT having been friends with Kered. Doing so, Kered and Elderpoot accelerated their plan and locked current leadership out of all social media/streaming accounts, banned their accounts on the KSIGlobal.com website, and announced publicly that they were the new leaders of KSI with Hydra actively endorsing the move on social media. Following those actions, the clan side of KSI was left with no resources and 1200 members. The initial move was to make a new website KSINetwork.gg, having kept the KSI namesake being sympathetic to retaining members. After its first initial month of operation and active support from [[KSI Fame 7|Mr XGN]] (Owner of XGN clan), it was rebranded to [[Killjoy Network]]. The decision to change the name came from having to start all socials/web aspects from scratch and the visual of 3 KSI clans just didn't seem like a functional option. The name Killjoy coming from Halo roots, which ties into KSI's original dominance during the Halo era. The domain was changed to Killjoy.gg and members excitedly began changing their gamertags. The founding leaders of Killjoy Network were: '''[[KSI BIGBT KC|KN BiGBT KC]] (President), [[KSI GAMEx 7|KN GAME 7]] (Vice President), [[Cali|Cali KN]] (Chief of Staff), KN Huck 7XS (Director), [[KSI REAPER 7|KN R3APER 7]] (Division Leader - SR), [[KSI Cassie 7]] (Division Leader - XG)''' =='''Formation of Xiled Syndicate (XS)'''== Shortly after KN began operating, BiGBT, GAME, Cali and Mr XGN had the idea to have several clans join forces by making a Network that promoted positive/progressive gaming. The clan scene had been rampant with "war based" communities that regularly attacked opposing clans, and after the events in KSI positive gaming clans felt like a minority in the space. Agreeing to take part in the XS Network, KN's domain was re-routed to the Xiled Syndicate website where all participating clans would engage. The founding clans in XS were as follows: '''[[XGN]] (Xiled Gaming Network), KN (Killjoy Network) and BGL (Banished Legends Gaming)''' would join shortly after. '''TXO (The Xiled Ones)''' and later '''TXI''' '''(Team Xiled Inc.)''' would both later be added to the roster being two deliberate internal splits from XGN still mainly run and supported from XGN and both owned by Mr XGN to join Xiled Syndicate, The Founding Owners Xiled Syndicate were: '''Mr XGN, KN GAME 7XS, KN BiGBT KC, Cali KN, XGN Bree VII, BGL Caliber, BGL Rapid and XGN Orion VII.''' =='''The XS years (2018-2020)'''== KN continued to thrive through 2018 and 2019. Having peaked at around 1700 members and found a new sense of networking that the build lacked in KSI. Content and Social Media became a much bigger priority. Over time though the attacks from the outside started once again. This time KN not being the primary target of Hydra. Mr. XGN began to feud with the leaders of Hydra in response to their attacks. Several YouTube videos were posted, but the culture of XS took a massive hit. Out of paranoia, the blacklist grew on a weekly basis and the feud began to cause tension between the participating communities. In 2019, one of the KN founding leaders, '''Cali KN''' chose to step away from KN is hopes to calming the ongoing feud between Hydra and XS. After about 3 weeks, Cali was successfully able to get Hydra and Mr XGN into a meeting which lead to an agreement of peace and cooperation between the clans. It was a historic moment for the clan scene, seeing the constant warring between major clans had been an active thing since clans had begun. Cali did not return to KN and opted to join TSB in hopes of strengthening the agreement made. The Leaders and members of KN did not initially take to this new arrangement well. Having been attacked by Hydra for a solid 6-7 years in KSI, it took time for most to adjust to the new environment in the clan scene. =='''Kindr3d Nations'''== Shortly after the ending of the feud between Hydra and XS, two leaders were not happy with '''Mr XGN''' having felt that their investments in XS were not being met, well also feeling he was dishonest with funds overall. Those leaders '''KN HUCK 7XS and KN BANE 7XS''' proposed that KN leave the XS network. After not receiving the support from other owners, they chose to break off of KN and create Kindr3d Nations '''(KN3).''' In the breakoff, KN lost 700 members and direction in the community drastically changed. KN3 went on to stop community functions in 2021 and become a hot sauce brand/producer. =='''2020 Rebuild and UVG'''== KN having lost a very large chunk of it's roster and day to day leadership with the KN3 split was forced to rebuild. After a 2-3 month cooldown, '''KN HYDE 7XS, [[KSI MSNAUGHTY 7|KN NAUGHTY 7XS]], [[KSI Viktory 7|KN Viktory 7]], [[KSI CRUSADER 7|KN Crusader 7]], [[KSI Ryuksapl|KN Ryuk]] and [[KSI GAMEx 7|KN GAME 7XS]]''' remained to kick off the rebuilding efforts. BiGBT took a very limited role with aspects of personal life changing and Cali took time away from TSB to assist in rebuilding KN. With Viktory, Ryuk and Crusader wanting to take a more business approach with GAME, HYDE and Naughty focused on the clan ops side. After 3 months, KN had built itself back to around 700 people with 2 active divisions (one on Xbox and one on PSN). The build remained strong for about 6 months before HYDE and Mr XGN had an incident that drove HYDE to put pressure on leadership about it's status in XS. Having been personally invested in XS, GAME could not part ways contractually and the clan ops side found itself in a familiar place. The result was HYDE, NAUGHTY and the vast majority of the clan leaving to create the clan '''UVG''' (Unreal Vision Gaming). The breakoff was far more damaging with all clubs and CMS being erased in the process. This left GAME, Vik, Ryuk, Crusader and about 10 remaining in a crippled KN. =='''2021 and XS depature'''== After the events of UVG, GAME decided to focus KN in a more business format. Getting way from the direct community aspects, the remaining group decided that KN would retool itself as a service that would provide resources for surrounding communities. (Coding, Websites, Policy Documents, Marketing). The building process of this was on it's way until a new member KN Doombear was brought into the project, having a past with the Hydra clan TSB, this did not go over well with TSB leadership and it was requested that he be removed. Having sacrificed enough for outside leaders, GAME and the remaining team decided they were not going to oblige the request. This prompted Mr XGN to threaten to take the brand (which he had legal ownership of). Having already lost 2 builds to the XS project with minimal help in recovery, GAME made the decision to sever ties with Xiled Syndicate. This did not go over well initially, but future events caused the outside groups to cease their pressure. During the drama after separation, Viktory, Crusader and Ryuk decided to leave KN and return to KSI Global (.com). GAME shortly after decided to close KN's doors and also walked away from the project. =='''Brief Reopening and Final Closure(2022)'''== In the beginning of 2022, '''[[KSI M3diiK 7|KN M3diiK 7]]''' decided to approach BiGBT KC about the possibility of reopening KN. Having no objections, M3diiK decided to retain his clan '''Wardens Gaming''' and use Killjoy Network as an official network name to host a few likeminded clans. The project ran for 6 months with M3diiK ultimately stepping away from KN for personal reasons and shutting the project down. KN has since been closed.
