Support this, They should have lost all sov if they wished to change there Name. EULA even has a section regarding changing name if the name is offensive, The Kenzoku alliance name is not an offensive name if you even check in google.
Should CCP decide to keep this they will lose a number of subscriptions due to CCP showing a bias in this decision to allow a change as small as a name to an alliance known for strong connections with CCP, e.g.
Moon Exploit - Having 20 control towers setup the same way in 1 system, then the moon exploit came out and the towers came down.
T20 - BPO spawns

"Your" does not mean "you are". "Your" implies ownership or possession. I've always wanted a trying to destroy! Or did you mean that there is a video game called your trying to destroy. Please elaborate.

Yes, the name iself doesn't matter.
The ignoring of established precedent regarding character, corporation, or alliance name changes. The circumvention of the usual requirements of remaking an alliance, spending 1 billion ISK and resetting all sovereignty claims. Seeming CCP preferential treatment (yet again).
Those matter.

When you will grow up a bit, you may realize how important it is to respect the rules you wrote down yourself if you care at least a bit about your own credibility. Apparently, nothing changed since the T20 story, that's maybe why peoples get upset, not for a name which is even worse that the one before.

What happens next time when they get the next unfair advantage and it DOES affect your gameplay?
Favoritism in any form is not okay, but favoring BOB of all people after the years of crap CCP has endured over the T20 scandal (which, by the way, really did affect things) just shows that CCP really doesn't care what their playerbase thinks.
One set of rules for everyone. It doesnt matter if the rule is small or insignificant, if Bob gets it we all should. Anything else leads to a slippery slope of increasingly game breaking decisions. ___________

Those matter.
I for one couldn't care less about the name change... well ok, I do. I must admit the name brings me endless joy of how utterly ridiculous it is, I mean common "Reloaded"??
What I and it seems allot of others besides the threadnoughting Goons care about is that YET AGAIN :period:BOB:period: gets "special treatment" by CCP.

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.

If ccp are going to honour "Hargoth" 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.

Originally by: Khandara Seraphim What happens next time when they get the next unfair advantage and it DOES affect your gameplay?
Favoritism in any form is not okay, but favoring BOB of all people after the years of crap CCP has endured over the T20 scandal (which, by the way, really did affect things) just shows that CCP really doesn't care what their playerbase thinks.
One set of rules for everyone. It doesnt matter if the rule is small or insignificant, if Bob gets it we all should. Anything else leads to a slippery slope of increasingly game breaking decisions.
I would just like to point out that Systematic-Chaos is an enemy of the goons, and an ally of Beaver.
I hope this bit of honesty doesn't cost you anything.

If you take your goon C**ksucking glasses off you will see goons are not the only ones upset at this unfortunate and blatant favortism. as far as what happened to BOB it was allowed because that could be the consequence of ANY alliance. However the name change was only granted to a particular group of people. Either you have no idea about rules and ethics( even in videoames) or you have been trolling so long thats all you know. either way i wouldnt want to be you for a second of your best day.

You are just as usual incredibly stupid and/or a troll, but because I am a nice guy, I'll explain you anyway: Disbanding an alliance the way it was done was not possible within the documentation. Untrue. Well, in fact there is no documentation about that. So there was no stament of if it was possible or not. But CCP always made clear what is an exploit or not. The difference with the aliance renaming is that CCP clearly stated that this was not possible. End of story.

Originally by: Zumbala Disbanding an alliance the way it was done was not possible within the documentation. Untrue. Well, in fact there is no documentation about that.
You are incorrect. There was documentation - it was flawed and out of date of course - but it certainly didn't suggest that one man could auto-destruct an entire alliance.
Quote: So there was no stament of if it was possible or not. But CCP always made clear what is an exploit or not.
Interesting you should say that since in the past CCP have acted to remove individual character and corporation names that are attempting to impersonate another entity. It certainly used to say in the eula that impersonating other in-game entities was a breach of the rules. I know from personal experience that CCP have acted to rename impersonating entities on petition. I found it very strange that they didn't choose to act against the Band of Brothers alt corp that was established to block the creation of an alliance since that seemed to be a exploit clear and simple.
Quote: The difference with the aliance renaming is that CCP clearly stated that this was not possible. End of story.
CCP have renamed individuals and corporations in the past and there have been quite large discussions around some of them. Look back into the 4S/SAS "scandal" in Keiron's time for an example.

Really, I think you are fairly to read the argument.
If (for example) my alliance was disbanded in this way and somebody went ahead and created a corp called "the star fraction" to block me from recreating "the star fraction" alliance I'd consider that cheating and a direct exploit of the entity naming system in eve online.
I'd petition it as such, citing intentional impersonation and exploitation of game mechanics to prevent recreation of my alliance.
I consider the goons cheated of the Band of Brother alt corp move.

Well I know that GM's will rename individual characters and corporations that are attempting to pass themselves off as something they are not.
I know that GM's will give players warnings for some kinds of obstructive gameplay that exploits a mechanic to damage the enjoyment and gameplay of other players.
Try perma-bumping a freighter in hisec to prevent the player from approaching a gate and see how long it takes for you to be told to stop it for example.
This decision to obstruct the recreation of band of brothers alliance by sitting on a corp name was intentional exploitation of the naming mechanic to block a group of players from re-establishing their identity.
Its cheating.
CCP should have simply renamed your corp and let Band of Brothers be recreated properly.
Instead they have done a compromise.
No point crying about it - just play the game.

Wow, you have no brains. It's exactly that rules were broken. You'd think CCP would learn after T20 but apparently not.
How about we ban Jade from ever posting or playing this game ever again and beavers can keep their name. that sounds like a compromise that might work.

Because poor poor BoB was CHEATED out of their name! 
Which is odd, cause there was no Band of Brothers alliance in existence when Band of Brothers corporation was founded, how can they "impersonate" something that doesn't exist.
I'm sure Jade will claim its abusing or taking advantage of the spirit of the rules, but guess what, it is not BREAKING the rules.

Really, I think you are fairly to read the argument.
If (for example) my alliance was disbanded in this way and somebody went ahead and created a corp called "the star fraction" to block me from recreating "the star fraction" alliance I'd consider that cheating and a direct exploit of the entity naming system in eve online.
I'd petition it as such, citing intentional impersonation and exploitation of game mechanics to prevent recreation of my alliance.
I consider the goons cheated of the Band of Brother alt corp move.
Such a terrible pity that your opinion matters not a toss. Oh wait, it isn't.
The issue here isn't your interpretation of the rules (thankfully, because you're clearly an incapable buffoon who substitutes verbosity for intellect). Nothing the goons did broke any rules, CCP have released a statement to that effect, remember? Your little anime friends were out thought and out played and now they're trying to cheat to get their toys back, you are attempting to defend the effectvely indefensible.

I am not pro or anti goon. bob neither. the name change is just the face of the issue. The 400lb gorilla that so many (and yes even empire dwellers as myself.) have issue with is that they were allowed to keep sov, offices etc. and did not have to pay the 1bil for an alliance. now you keep saying its a fair compromise but if CCP had the power to do this they should of set delve back to bob control as well. Im sorry this doesnt pass the human decency test. This is my personal opinion on the matter but if you look in the assembly hall there is an array of players, non-goon, who are upset by this. hope this helps.

Well I know that GM's will rename individual characters and corporations that are attempting to pass themselves off as something they are not.
I know that GM's will give players warnings for some kinds of obstructive gameplay that exploits a mechanic to damage the enjoyment and gameplay of other players.
Try perma-bumping a freighter in hisec to prevent the player from approaching a gate and see how long it takes for you to be told to stop it for example.
This decision to obstruct the recreation of band of brothers alliance by sitting on a corp name was intentional exploitation of the naming mechanic to block a group of players from re-establishing their identity.
Its cheating.
CCP should have simply renamed your corp and let Band of Brothers be recreated properly.
Instead they have done a compromise.
No point crying about it - just play the game.
How daft are you? If CCP changed our corp name and let kenny get the name back through the standard, disband, start over mechanic, then there would be less uproar, what happened was that CCP changed the name directly, while also breaking the alliance name character limit. Molle got to keep his sov while changing his alliance name unlike anyone else before. You are an idiot if you can't see the difference between what you said and what happened.

You know that they will not re-name a character or corp which petitions that they don't like the name they chose for their character or corp, or alliance, and want a new one.
Except in this case.
You say that asking for the rules to be applied equally to all players is crying. Let's try to have a debate without resorting to insults please.
I believe CCP should not consistently give preferential treatment to a particular group of players.

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 "Hargoth" 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.

So, what do you think of the fact that beaver (aka Kenny) didn't have to lose sov or pay 1bil to change their name? I believe this is the biggest issue people, not just goons, are taking issue with.
I'd guess that was the GM decision based on petitions that would have been made at the time against goonswarm exploiting the naming mechanic - its probably taken several weeks to come to this decision and its something they will have considered pretty fair and reasonable. Who knows, maybe bob paid the gm's 1b to do it. Unlikely we'll ever know.
And from what I can see its virtually 100% goons and goonish coalition members that are currently threadnaughting.
Quote: Do you believe this to be a fair decision and, if so, why?
I think its an entirely fair decision.
But if it was me - I'd have renamed the goon Band of Brothers corp to "corpname1131301931" within about 24 hours of it being done and allowed molle to recreate Band of Brothers if he wanted to do it.
To my taste there is absolutely no good that comes to the game of eve online by letting people destroy the identity of in-game corporations and alliances with sordid little metagamy exploits like blocking alliance naming with alt corps.

Couple things I'm curious about,
1st, how does Atari feel when the company they are publishing for openly cheats(tm) to help a group of players, which could potentially hurt sales due to reputation? (probably a moot point since Atari is desperate for cash and will ***** themselves out to anyone.)
2nd, didn't ccp learn from the last several times they 'bent' the rules?
3rd, wouldn't it be funny to see CCP's marketing department **** them selves, if a lot people just canceled their accounts, (doesn't matter if you are going to reactivate it or not, just to know marketing had a **** storm)
4th, who wants to bet someone gets fired over this :), it was probably a GM not dev, because a dev would have to be fraking ******ed to do something like and risk their job in this economy. (but who knows internet spaceships are serial bizness)

Of course you are completely wrong. Rules change when they need to. Its clear to everyone outside the goon coalition that the alliance disband was ridiculous. For 3000 players to lose their alliance identity with one-click from a director level emocide while I can't even fire somebody from my corp without a 24 hour waiting period is the height of insanity.
It was an embarrassment for a game that sells itself on alliance building and space empires to allow a glitch like this to suddenly totally imbalance a huge space war and deliver an entirely hollow victory to a side that hadn't hitherto fired a shot in pursuit of glory.
But what did CCP do? They toughed it out thats what and allowed the disbanding to stand and forced Band of Brothers to lose everything.
Fair enough.
But it was insult to injury that Darius JOHNSON created the Band of Brothers alt corp to prevent the proper Band of Brothers alliance from re-establishing its name. It was also CHEATING.
So now we have a crowd of players who stole a victory they didn't deserve howling with upset and rage that the referees have allowed the downed opponent their name back. Its pathetic and its small.
I think everybody knows that CCP will change the Alliance disband mechanic because of this incident. The rules will change. They have changed in the past and they will change again in the future.

Well I saw fake press releases from a fake molle character in the fake band of brothers corp. I've seen fake recruitment posts, fake political posts, hell, even a fake surrender or two. It was an attempt to steal the identity and block the appropriate recreation of the entity by exploiting a flawed naming mechanic in the game.

The goons are annoyed because a stolen victory has slightly been soured by their opponents getting their name back.
Tough.
Play the game.
If the disbanding of BoB was 'wrong' as you claim, CCP would have reversed it.

The disbanding of BOB was a flawed game mechanic. The game mechanic in question will be fixed almost certainly.
The blocking of Band of Brothers re-establishment by setting up an impersonation alt corp was something that looked very much like an exploit.
Looks like that has been reversed (at least to a degree).

On one hand this whole thread and "scandal" is pretty hilarious. People are whining and moaning making a massive deal out of something so trivial that it just makes me roll my eyes. Nobody would give two ****s about this if this was some no name alliance who lived in empire and just wanted their name changed because of some fault (no I can't name any). But because Kenny or BOB was changed then it is a massive conspiracy and it clearly proves that the devs love BOB and have done everything in their power to help BOB.
On the other hand this does appear to be a change of heart for CCP. If this is how CCP is going to play the game then they should allow other alliance the same opportunity. I disagree with Jade on that point that they were cheated out of their name. Goons used the ingame tactics (which I would consider cheating) to their advantage and pretty much stole the name. CCP obviously said that it was not a breach of the EULA by not changing Band of Brothers the corp's name.
In the end it makes no amount of difference to me other than the fact that the name is kind of meh. Sounds like a movie I once saw....
Oh and CCP if you are changing names could you change mine to Inquisitor Dathremar because I love that title.

Please disclose the source of your information regarding the change in game mechanics.

Originally by: Zumbala That is definitly not the same thing. The BoB corp was created not to fake being The BoB alliance. That is the main difference. No one who know the alliance BoB could decently pretend that the corp in Goonswarm called BoB is the same thing. They did not try to stell their identity, really.
Well I saw fake press releases from a fake molle character in the fake band of brothers corp. I've seen fake recruitment posts, fake political posts, hell, even a fake surrender or two. It was an attempt to steal the identity and block the appropriate recreation of the entity by exploiting a flawed naming mechanic in the game.
I stop there. To much trolling.

Originally by: Lunas Feelgood This is not about a name change this is not about what happend to BOB.. This is about the game itself.. Not about factions, enemies or friends its about the game. The little virtuel reality thousends of people play. This little virtuel reality is bound by surden universal rules.. Just like in real life, there is rules of nature, rules we cant change, no matter how much we will.. For example gravity...
Of course you are completely wrong. Rules change when they need to. Its clear to everyone outside the goon coalition that the alliance disband was ridiculous. For 3000 players to lose their alliance identity with one-click from a director level emocide while I can't even fire somebody from my corp without a 24 hour waiting period is the height of insanity.
It was an embarrassment for a game that sells itself on alliance building and space empires to allow a glitch like this to suddenly totally imbalance a huge space war and deliver an entirely hollow victory to a side that hadn't hitherto fired a shot in pursuit of glory.
But what did CCP do? They toughed it out thats what and allowed the disbanding to stand and forced Band of Brothers to lose everything.
Fair enough.
But it was insult to injury that Darius JOHNSON created the Band of Brothers alt corp to prevent the proper Band of Brothers alliance from re-establishing its name. It was also CHEATING.
So now we have a crowd of players who stole a victory they didn't deserve howling with upset and rage that the referees have allowed the downed opponent their name back. Its pathetic and its small.
I think everybody knows that CCP will change the Alliance disband mechanic because of this incident. The rules will change. They have changed in the past and they will change again in the future.

Ok Jade Im gonna talk to the person behind Jade. Im gonna talk to you as a fellow gamer.. We both preatty much much alike, im sure if I knew you in real life I would like you since we got the same interest etc..
And to adresse you claims.. Yes rules change in a game but they are made public and adressed to all the customers before implemented in a game..
And yes I agree with you the dispanding of BOB was very crappy game mechanics and it shoulnt have been programed this way. However it was and the dispanding of bob was within game mechanics. People followed the rules..
So the argument that this shoulnt have happend got nothing todo with these current event..
Fact is BOB as a faction got somehting no other players or faction has ever been given.. This is a huge deal..It gives the playerbase, the customers mistrust and is infact gamebreaking.. If customers cant trust the product they buying then CCP got some problems. We all love EVE, we all want EVE to be succesfull. So thats why Im am preatty shocked that some misguided GM which some close connection to some BOB players decide to write some different rules to those players.
Now people could say if you dont like it quite. No I refuse to quite, becuase that would mean the cheaters has won. So I really hope no one quits over this but instead fight the corruption.

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 "Hargoth" 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.
well said! 
Just saying what I guess most CAOD readers outside the goonswarm coalition are thinking 
Holy ****, a one line JC post.
P.S - I'm sure you've got your finger on the pulse of the transvestite roleplayer community, but most EVE players don't like how CCP keeps one set of rules for BoB and one set of rules for everyone else. |
