It's what our corp name, removed, has been changed to. After a year of absolutely no problems at all, CCP have decided it is a disturbing name for a corp. What little reputation we had built for ourselves will after downtime tomorrow be gone.
Or is it that someone couldn't stand being blown up and has petitioned our name as the only means available for revenge? Because it is only of late we have been enjoying some degree of proper success, and only now after all this time our name has been found to offend.
If this is the case, I have never seen a more disgusting and cowardly method of retaliating at an enemy corp. Try using your guns instead 
Please don't try to bypass the swear filter -Zhuge

NO Idea what it means...
But a quick google search brought this up.
 Quote:
About the name Bolli:
Now they lived a very lonely and happy life; and as they had no children
themselves, they had adopted a little common snail, which they brought up as
their own; but the little one would not grow, for he was of a common family;
but the old ones, especially Mother Bolli, thought they could
observe how he increased in size.
Modified text originally written by Hans Christian Andersen.
Mayhaps the GM hates nursery rymes?
Also it's the name of a Doctor, a restuarant, a bar, and several several other people, including various artist, painters, photographers, and graphic designers, and many business'.
So I am at a loss or just plain ignorant or as the poster says, the GM is allowing someone to use lame tactics? |

Bolli is an icelandic word for a cup (like a cup of tea...)
The GMs are icelandic so this is probably the meaning you are looking for

*******s is a offensive slang word in the UK language, its not the sort of word you want to hear your kids say and not the type of word used in normal conversation, so its no surprise that you name has been edited, and if its filtered in the forums then safe to say you cant use it ingame either

It's slang yes, but surely not that offensive? A plain exclamation of BALLS would be worse imo. Anyway what gets up my armpit is that noone has taken any notice of it until now, it's been eleven months since the corp was founded and we've had plenty of contact with other players in that time let me tell you.
I'm starting to think it's just the devs who recognised us as the next uber pirate corp and wanted to name us themselves so they can take credit later when we are worshipped.

We use the word "Bolli" for Bollinger champagne. A not too nasty drop.

Huh? isn't bolli a game? As far as I know it is a word used by some smart marketing guru for boules.
I roleplay... there is this computer game called "Earth - The First Genesis" where i play a character in the early 21st century. |

In America neither Bolli nor removed mean anything at all. I was going to name my corp "Free Willy". Do you think they would have a problem with that?
