This is confusing the hell out of me. First, 4S corp--who's name translated means someting atone to "We stand United"... now Zincol's corpn SAS has been changed to "Caldari Corporation 008. Is there someone out there just looking for acronym's for people's corps' that are something bad, petitioning it and having the names removed? 2 prominent corps that have been around since pretty much the start of the game, getting their names changed 2 and a half years later?! This has got to stop TBH...

We're working on it. I'll let you know what is desided. But there will be hell to pay if we're singled out on this. Becus there is so many in breech of this rule that it's not even funny. SoonÖ

Out of curiosity (and because it's boring as hell at work 11pm on a sunday) what's the justification you've been given on the name change reason. Be as vague as possible perhaps quote some rules so teh forum gestapo can allow the response.
Would you mind? I am actually curious.

And did we ever get confirmation on 4S's... or does it have to do with real life link to being proud of and supportive of the country you live in? Complete BS if you ask me.

I can't awnser for the 4s situation. But on S.A.S I feel this is rather unjust.
I feel there have to be something more to the justification of the banning that just the rl link to an organisation.
There must be something offencive or distastefull name to. Then I can understand the rule. But not just on the premisis of the rule.
"Reflect, glorify or emulate any real-world group or organization, terrorist society, criminal elements, discriminating organizations or their leaders and figureheads. This includes the use of names of real-world military, political or religious groups." This is regarding naming restrictions for characters, ships and corporations (and alliances).
So please. If you find S.A.S offencive or distastefull please let us know. SoonÖ

that would mean that "Band of Brothers" alliance would be in violation of the rule also as it is a registered trademark anme for a TV show.
when will the GM madness end ? if you are going to do them then do them all or do none.

I made the same argument to them. :) Band of Brothers is based on Easy company. 101'st airbourn US Airforce. So under the same rule it got to go.

Edited by: Baun on 07/11/2005 05:16:06 Sigh, this is stupid and disrespectful.
GMs, Devs or anyone else should not act capriciously and treat their customers with no respect. If there are real reasons that names need to be changed than the people who run this game need to publically state them and give the community a chance to have input on them before they start altering people's corp names willy nilly.
(and yes, even if the rules have been there, for the case of S.A.S, not 4S, because they haven't been enforced in 2.5 years, the GMs cannot just act on them at random)

That's what I thought.
Exceedingly effective way to **** off your customers CCP. We can all argue about game balance and crap like that til' we're blue in the face, but I see this as a play-breaker for so many players out there.

You dont just go fix "mistakes" 2.5 years later.
In both cases, 4S and S.A.S, you have corporations that have made EvE what it is today, and i'm not exagerating. They are part of the community, the whole of what EvE is, and they have made history in this game.
GM's, I urge you to reconsider. --------------------

not to forget "the five" who has taken their name after 5 not so heterosexual guys who have a tvshow wich i think is a registered trademark also.
oh boy, lets look another week at corp names and do a quick google on it and see if it has any relation to real life organisations or registered trademarks.
theres going to be many "evecorpXXXXX" in a few weeks i think.

Some people in this thread have comparied BOB's full name of "Band of Brothers" to an HBO mini series by the same name based on a book by Steven Amberose of the same title.
For those of you who havn't had a chance to read Steven Amberose's masterfull book or didn't take notice of the quote during the show the name comes from a speech in Shakespeare's Henry the 5th. The Speech is called the St. Crispen's Day Speech. Below is a quote, the link has the entire speech.
From this day to the ending of the world, But we in it shall be remembered- We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; For he to-day that sheds his blood with me Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile, This day shall gentle his condition; And gentlemen in England now-a-bed Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here, And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.
This name far predates any current copyrighted work or millitary unit. _ ____ _______ _________________________________________________________

Doesn't change that there is a clear link to Easy company mate. S.A.S could have ment just about anything. But there is a clear link to the elite unit. I just don't want us to be singled out on this. If they want to change this. I want them to change it cross the line. Not just us. SoonÖ

Agreed. Of course people are going to want to emulate organisations like the SAS. They are an elite military group working for good. I fail to see a problem with this tbh.
And as for BoB having 'higher' connections... please. Even if we do, I think they would be a little more professional than to interfer.
I can see you are clearly upset, but don't go blaming this one on us/trying to take your vengeance out on us. It would be a lot more constructive to actually make some quiet enquiries and try and get it overturned.
Edit:

That might even be believable if your Sig didnt have 'who dares wins', the motto of the SAS. Good try. Disgusts me to see you trying to take BoB and every other possible corp down when clearly you should be concentrating on getting your own name back. |

Edited by: Muthsera on 07/11/2005 05:52:55 Don't see this as me pinning it to BoB in any way. I don't mind the name at all. I just want to display the immoralty in this. Becus there are so many others that are in breech of this said rule. And I don't want S.A.S to be singled out in this. Even if you don't realise it. You and me are in the same boat here. We're after the same thing. To keep the name.

Yes, GMs do just follow the rules. That does not mean, however, that so doing cannot fail to be respectful.

Oh seriously dude, cut the BS it don't belong here.
The stuff about 4S and SAS being renamed is total crap, and everyone can see it. Are you low enough to bring in your ingame political bias to something that affects the whole community? Puh-leez.
