TL;DR: We have our name back, *****es.
Most of you will be totally unfamiliar with us, unless we've ganked you in a wormhole at some point. We're pretty small, and aren't into most of the politics of Eve. However we do, we think, have one of the best corp names in all of Eve.... or we did have until some Anonymous Jerk(TM) petitioned our name as being offensive.
It was probably someone who we killed in an unfair fight, or stole from, or attmepted to steal from, or insulted. We do that kind of thing; our corp name is our modus operandi and our raison d'Otre.
What the petition meant is that we got stuck with the utterly benighted name of Eve Corporation123(etcetc), and told to find a new name. Not being a group to take anything lying down, it also cued a large number of quite well-written petitions pointing out that;
* 'Buggery' is not strictly a curse word in Australia, being 'clean' enough for Toyota to use in a national advertising campaign (**Edit: It's also clean enough for the forums**)
* WeÆre hardly the only corporation or character to have an outrT name. We provided many, many examples, some of them in other languages, and suggested that if our name was revoked we might want to start petitioning all of these other names too.
* Taking our name after a year and a bit of operation, after one complaint, was unfair and delayed punishment.
* (and more)
In the end it took something more than a month to resolve, and went to the level of Senior GMs, but it was resolved in our favour.
As a major plus, during this time we didnÆt lose a single active member; we actually gained a few people. That speaks volumes about the solidity of our corp. WeÆre back now: We have our name, and itÆs sanctioned by Senior GMs as being acceptable. WeÆre on the hunt again in a wormhole near you, and weÆre cautiously recruiting. What this also does, to some extent, is protect all of you with passingly amusing or slightly offensive names. There are still words that are obviously offensive, but itÆs a win for freedom of expression.
And to the Anonymous Jerk that petitioned us: Sucks to be you, I guess.
PS û Thankyou very much CCP. We are all very happy with the outcome.

I think Suddenly Ninjas has you beat in the 'cool name' category.
Originally by: Leeroy McJenkins There is no real pvp in EVE, there is only winning or losing and then feeling :smug: about winning or sore about losing. There is nothing wrong with this arrangement.

Sudden Buggery is a Wildly Inappropriate name. See what I did just there? Now, just need someone to confirm this is now a WIdot thread.
This signature is useless, but it is red.

Oh curses, foiled again!
Good to see you got the old name back. It just wouldn't be the same remembering my time with the great people in "Generic Eve Corp #######"
