According to Dianabolic on Eve Radio, Band of Brothers is a dumb name and one the alliance doesn't even want.

4) Given that this `rebranding` has allowed BOB RELOGGING (changed to avoid possible copyright issues) has allowed them to maintain standings and avoid capitals being ejected from friendly pos's, would that in the whole context of game mechanics based upon point (1) be a unfair advantage. I'm sure other aspects would arise like, ew soverenty. Indeed I bet I missed other aspects as well.
.BoB. do apparently have a constellation in Querious which has gone Sov3 for them, even though the alliance didn't actually exist until today.

Let's stop messing around.
Names do matter in this game. Your identity and history is an important part of your alliance. Anyone who pretends they're not is trolling.
BoB lost their name and identity when one of their own directors used the game mechanics, in-game, in the way the game is designed.
CCP gave the name back to them in a display of favouritsm unlike anything they've shown to any other alliance in the past, except for BoB. Because it's not the first time CCP have shown favouritsm to BoB.
So let's never hear BoB pretend again that they've achieved anything without special help from the devs.

This is funny, people are so concerned about what goons say/do that they totally ignore the fact that this whole fiasco is about CCP doing "favours" to BOB over and over again throughout the years.
Now you might say oh GS has devs too, sorry but at least their devs dont do bs or dont get caught doing it.
Way to go CCP, breaking your own rules!
They know.
BoB has been caught using links with CCP to cheat again. Slagging off Goons is an attempt to distract attention and gain a little sympathy, because some people don't like us
But they cheated.

seriously.. GS gets delve, BoB gets a [idiotic] name.
why all the crying?
Good question.
Gaining sovereignty in Delve meant shooting enemy space stations and putting up our own space stations.
Anyone can do the same to us, and they're trying right now (in a system called 49-).
Transferring sovereignty from an alliance with one name to an alliance with a different name is something nobody can do without special help from CCP.
In my opinion, the same rules should be applied equally to all players.

Just to clarify for those who don't know, KenZoku wasn't called KenZoku because of any identity theft.
It was created, and named, in August 2008, while the original Band of Brothers was still in existence.
When Band of Brothers was disbanded by one of its directors, corporations which had been members of BoB chose to join KenZoku of their own free will, instead of making a new alliance (for example, an alliance named Band of Brothers Reloaded).
They did this because getting straight into a pre-existing alliance gave them an advantage - a legal, within the rules advantage - in the ongoing war in 0.0 space.
