The question is, what does it truly matter?
If a lesser alliance did this would there be all this crap on the forums? How do you knwo it has not happened before?
That is two questions. Why does it matter? Because one particular group of players is being given special dispensation. I think all anybody wants is for the rules to apply equally to everyone.
How do I know it has not happened before? Well, nobody in this forum seems to remember it happening. Nobody I talk to seems to remember it happening. CCP says it has happened but won't give the particulars, which reminds me of the last big scandal, which involved (searches memory) oh, yeah, CCP and BoB.

Edited by: Pezzle on 25/03/2009 14:14:39 The methods and mechanics used to shut down BoB should not be legal, yet they are. BoB was shut down through existing mechanics. A corp was formed to take the name. Goons war decced corps so a new alliance could not be formed. BoB members joined an existing alliance. All legal.
Goons took the name as a blocker. That is a grey area I suppose? It is not an attempt at defrauding the public is it? At this point that is actually irrelevant. BoB joined an existing alliance.
IF being war decced prevents alliance creation then Goons were backing their foes into a corner. Those corps, of free will, joined Ken. Two months later this petition for a name change is resolved? I will cry foul on that. If there was a rule violation it could have been handled within a few days.
What other alliances have gotten free name changes? Name a few? This is not about BoB, it is about the rules being fairly applied for everyone. What rules was broken that allows the alliance name change? Is it illegal to grab a name like that? If it is, why was this not clearly stated by GM Grimmi or another staff member? Many corps and alliances have made innocent typos and been denied. Others have asked for consolidation and been denied. Those who found the name worth it put in the effort of switching.
I disagree with the methods used. There should be rules against this type of thing but there are not. CCP seems to be in no hurry creating or enforcing such rules either way. That is the price you pay for lax metagame policy and look the other way administration. I do not like spying, theft, tower password monkey business, stront timer nonsense and a host of other shady activities, yet they are legal. Where we are is a product of situations that BoB played no small part in creating. It is also important we remember that while ccp does not condone all the theft/spying etc they do encourage it. This has been made apparent in many interviews spanning the life of EVE. Years of unfettered jeering and cheering have sharpened the appetites of those involved. You do not like the rules? Work on getting them changed or clarified. Stop applauding the dirty deeds. Until that happens you live in the house you built.

Goons used every in-game mechanic and understanding of the game to back them into that corner. BoB, rather than try to fight back, ran to CCP.
This is the real difference between Goons and BoB,

It's somewhat strange that CCP will not provide nor release names of other alliances they claim to have allowed name changes in the pass.......Did they pay for the name change.......did they lose sov or even had sov? Having or not having sov will raise a major question as well. Don't look for this info from CCP anytime soon.

Originally by: Retepp Nedsmul Well if youÆre suggesting that Hargooth (or whoever) was forced in some manner, thatÆs pretty ridiculous statement to make without evidence.
Who knows really? Maybe he sold the account? Maybe a "friend" accessed his computer? Maybe he got bought off with aluminium-stocks or something? Nobody knows and its all irrelevant anyways. What happened with the disband happened and CCP decided to let it stand.
But what should not have stood was the alt corp "band of brothers" created with the express intention of blocking the recreation of the band of brothers alliance in a clear exploit of the naming system.
Its clear we'll disagree on this point and I hope you can appreciate that strong feelings exist on either side of the discussion.
I (and many others who play this game) feel that the identity of our corporations and alliances is something that is sacrosanct to our continued subscription and participation. From the moment we attend real world meets and build friendships, print tee-shirts, commission artwork and build web-infrastructure around our corp and alliance identities we have placed a claim of ownership over the names we've chosen to build.
I contend that identity should not be a spoil of war in Eve Online. When Band of Brothers dies it should be because they have been defeated in war and decide to surrender and disband of their own choice.
I certainly would fight/petition/argue and debate most strongly to have "The Star Fraction" name returned to my alliance if it was ever stolen in a similar identity theft.
CCP do need to consider this matter very carefully in the future because as things stand they have left a nasty metagaming exploit open that endangers much of the alliance identity building game they have previously traded on.
When Cult of War (COW) didnt pay the bill, the alliance was disbanded. A third party took the corp name in order to block the re-creation of Cow. I petitioned this, the corp was re-named and we paid the fee to recreate the alliance... The same rules should apply to BOB imo, Sov should have been lost (as they did) but they should be able to retain the name.
Thank you for your post and your honesty.

This is game, set and match for the argument really. It is impossible to continue arguing against Band of Brothers getting their orginal name back while the precise situation with Cult of War is on record and past precedence is established.

I must have missed the part where Band of Brothers corp got renamed and KenZoku disbanded and paid 1 billion to reform.
Please, oh wise and great Jade Constantine, write us a book explaining this.

LOL - This thread is pretty funny. You all act like if some defector from (Goonswarm, MM, Razor etc) were to disband your alliance... then have your alliance name taken, all your space taken, that you would all just roll over and take it, and say "Hey GG that's all perfectly fair, part of the game"
Give me a break.

I think when we get to the point that a 5000 man alliance has absolutely no way to refute a valid point and just gets to posting primal screams of wordless rage we're pretty much done.

No, if this happened to us we would probably fight to get our space back. With spaceships.

-Band of Brothers corp was not renamed. -Ex-BoB members did not create a new alliance, they joined an existing one.
How is this precisely what happened with CoW? How long did it take for the CoW situation to be resolved?
You can claim it all comes out in the wash, but it does not. EVE is a competitive game and these situations are different. I have yet to see a statement clarifying policy. Is there actually a policy?
My interest here is equal treatment. Let them have the name if that is the rules. Let them play by the same rules (new alliance, not rename) as well. If CCP wishes to 'take the blame' for 2 months then hey, that is great. How about some clarity in words? The list of people denied renaming under less dubious circumstances is fairly long.

Seriously Jade, answer me this:
Why did .BoB. not loose sov + have to pay the 1 billion isk like COW had to? Yes Cow was disbanded because of unpaid bills, but they had to pay the Alliance registration fee and reform their alliance.
.BoB. was KenZuko at the time of the name change to "Reloaded", thus its only logical they would have to disband KenZuko to reform "Reloaded" is it not?
They got special treatment, CCP bending above examples rules and bypassing the sov loss and registration fee.
You can not ignore this! I know you will try though...

No it wouldn't, the only two options available for this scenario to turn out properly are to give KENZOKU the two options that were available to them back when they made THEIR CHOICE. They can either go back to being Kenzoku as chosen by their leadership or they can drop sov, rename, pay the bill, and get back to work. Those are the only two options that don't display favoritism, stay within game mechanics, etc.

Underlined and bolded the parts that are true.
Edit: Whineswarm blocked name of Alliance. They did this knowing it's not allowed. Petition could have taken a few days or more. This would have meant that for cheating they would have gained a few days advantage in the war against sov. As it was they didn't need it. CCP made a fair and reasonable decision that anyone would want if it happened to them. Purely because it happened to someone else they moan about it. Its ****ing stupid and pathetic.

Edited by: OldPueblo on 25/03/2009 15:50:37 The name was won fair and square using in-game mechanics. No bill was forgotten to be paid, no bug disbanded the alliance, it was an inside job acknowledged as fair by CCP because it was fair. The name was also not just camped, it's been put to good use and has been an active corp. Nothing stopped them back then from renaming themselves to exactly what they named themselves now. The scenarios are not the same but keep trying oh bird of hope spread your wings and ffflllllyyyyyyyyyyy.

I think you'd be surprised at how little that being reversed would matter. Especially since in this case it would be filed under "never should have happened" which IS grounds for CCP intervention.

See, this is why no one likes you. You took a post of honesty, skewed it and left some of the facts out to attempt to prove your point. However, BOB never had to leave/disband Kenzoku to recreate Band of Brothers. They got a dev to interfere (or GM who gives a ****) and change their existing name of an existing Alliance (WHICH WAS HOLDING SOV!). I don't think anyone would give a **** if the corp Band of Brothers was forcefully disbanded, and BOB was forced to recreate BOB shelling out another billion, and losing their sov. Now come back with your logic Jade. --

The only thing you've pointed out over and over is your terrible gimmick consisting of two parts fail:
1. Only goons care and not every single person that's ever wanted a name change. 2. I don't possess the mental faculties to understand this issue. Bonus # 3. I am one of Jade's VIP customers.
