We have previously changed names provided a petition was created within a reasonable timeframe and the situation warranted such action.
You have only ever done so for entities which misspelled either the organisation name or its corp ticker. I've actually been in an alliance which wanted to change its name a long time ago. Request denied.

The leadership of KenZoku/Band of Brothers did petition us immediately after they were disbanded and their name was taken.
Irrelevant. They lost the name through normal in game mechanics, ergo they cannot recreate something with the same name. Kinda makes sense, petitioning this is pointless since the name already exists. Petitions do not override game mechanics.

While we worked on the petition for about two months we do not feel that they should suffer because of that.
This is a wonderful new precedent, which I wholeheartedly welcome. No longer will players have to deal with "tough luck & speedy recovery" scenarios when a petition takes such a long time.
It's almost amusing, I can think of a few petitions over time which meet the exact same requirements, I presume it is alright to reopen these.

Having them disband and lose sovereignty again was not deemed appropriate in this case.
Irrelevant, since they did not create a new organisation - with potential naming complications or spelling issues of entity name or ticker - so I fail to see the argument.

This action was limited to changing their name, as we have done before for others
Blatant lie. You have only given organisations the change to rename within a reasonable short time of creation, for cases of entity name or entity ticker.

Any other corporation or alliance finding themselves in the same situation would get the same treatment.
Well, I am incredibly curious for you to define "the same situation", and obviously provide evidence, since the only cases of renaming have been in the case of misspelling, and not of already long existing alliances. |
