Originally by: "GM Grimmi" We have previously changed names .. the situation warranted such action
Thus, apparently business as usual without favours.
Assuming someone remembers other name changes, and what was the situation back then?
And of course it is a precedent; and thus any party that for some reason loses their alliance name, should be able to their 'backup' alliance renamed.
Assuming CCP followed some interpretation of rules, instead of feelings along "they didn't deserve that".

European bias in my opinion. If they were a largely American alliance this wouldn't have happened.

Originally by: Jade Constantine Well playing Eve is voluntary at the end of the day. If the goons don't like that Band of Brothers (kinda) got their name back then they aren't being forced to continue their subscription payments.
Lets get it into perspective.
Within the letter of the game documentation the alliance disband wasn't apparently possible in the first place.
If ccp are going to honour "Haargoth" disbanding the orginal alliance and take no action against Goons reinstituting a Band of Brothers alt corp purely to post spam on CAOD with while impersonating an in-game entity against past eula guidance then it seems absolutely reasonable that a compromise is reached and they let BOB rename their current alliance to a form that respects the gameplay investment of its member base in previous years.
This current threadnaughting on the other hand is immature foot-stamping at best and I think the actual Eve community (as opposed to the SA community) will be getting a bit tired of goons throwing their toys out of prams every time the slightest thing goes against them by now.
Whineswarm strikes again. 
Just grow up and play the game.

When we wanted to rename The SUdden Death Squad to The Sudden Death Squad, we were denied according to rules and policies in Knowledgebase.
But this was BOB so I suppose that rule didn't apply.
At lease we know know where we stand.

No, that is why I put it in quotes. But it is clear that the BoB member that petitioned the name was able to convince the GM (gasp) that it was offensive.
I might actually begin liking you goons.

Who are you?
Also theres like AAA and kengoku pets and pretty much everyone realizes this is an obvious breech of the rules, a non offensive name was changed to avoid negative repercussions.

That and any number of other examples, and the rules explicitly stating the same thing are what makes this so stupid. Any corp but bob that makes a typo or doesn't like their name has to reform their alliance. But a GM comes out saying that BoB has suffered enough telling us to drop it? no way.
They could have formed the name on their own. It wasn't taken, but they used a GM to avoid having to pay any fees or reform their alliance.

THe EULA clearly states that CCP has the final say and they can do whatever they see fit.
So if they choose to support BOB it is there right to. It doesnt have to be fair. It is CCP's game and they can do whatever they want.
We just have to face it that this game is run by some people that pick favorites in the game and make the game unfair for others.

Right.
ôWe did a survey in our database at the point of the controversy, and it turned out there were actually more CCP employees in GoonSwarm than in BOB,ö Mr. Petursson said yesterday.
well if we have them, they sure as hell aren't spawning blueprints for us, much less letting themselves be known.

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. ------------ Coranor you all know i can't stand most of the gbc but while we have them we may as well give them something challenging where they can actually learn a bit Dian fair point |

It's the same alliance, just renamed.
and I agree, alliance/corp/char name changes should be allowed.
