The only way to protest something like this is to not pay your subscription fee.
If people started canceling accounts because of this then that would be a protest as it takes $$$ out of CCPs' pockets.
Any other form of protest (in-game) is just weak as they are still getting your bottom dollar.
Way to go CCP. You're even more ignorant than I ever thought possible. To let something such as this continue is a travesty and a sham.
I can guarentee you that this one is going to bite you on the ass wether you believe it or not. -------------

Will You be so kind to translate it? Sounds like fun.
Tihi, it sound as it sound. Ask Prle to translate you
anyway...I said Im against CCP changing names becouse there are to many different culture and it would be insaine to keep a track for someone not insulting other. Its just a game after all. But then dont go in explanation what the true meaning is....even if its true...cause then other side can say their point of view...and it will become neverending story.

But DB, if CCP is on a rampage I would see your alliance name next, cause it is named like a military TV serie (a really bad one after all). But tbh, not even me would come to petition a name like "4s" or "Band of Brother". I have seen much muucccchh worser names on this forums.
I fondly remember "Hepatitis" posting here for a while, nobody cared about his name and imho it was the most disgusting name I have seen in this game yet --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Btw, go through the first 5 pages of this forum and look at the names of people who have started topics.
You'll find more than enough "offensiveness" to see that you have your hands full with this one.
Sorry folks, but if they want to follow through with something as shameful as this then they shouldn't discriminate. They should go right through their database and filter out all of the possible offending names. Corps and players alike. -------------

According to their sights my corporation, The Temple Knights, another name for the Templar Order, would be out of order. This is due to the religious and military aspects of its name.
So CCP, gonna slap my corp name into purgatory??
If so, I'm gone, never to return. |

Originally by: Vishnej DB - I did, but the association is there, whether that was your inspiration or not doesn't matter. Even so, I believe it unlikely that you would have made the alliance based purely on the verse, without Ambrose to point it out to you.
Blacklight already stated how we came up with the bob name, I guess you couldn't be bothered to read that either huh?
And if you had read my post you would have seen that according to the official line by CCP it is the real life name of the military company.
Band of Brothers is not associated with the company in real life, it is the name of a book written many years after the events of which it portrays and is indeed taken directly from Shakespeare which is, ofc, public domain.
I'm afraid you can complain all you want but we are covered.
There is a massive difference between our name and naming a company 4s or SAS.

Well there you go CCP - I think you have the opinions of your player base and community, over 100 posts in this thread already and not one that thinks your actions are right.
I'll quote Oveur from the fan fest,
'Power to the players'
We have spoken - give 4S and SAS their names back!

I don't know if its been mentioned already as I've not read all the pages of this post.
However I find it amazing that a corp name such as S.A.S which has links to a military outfit gets changed after 2.5 years of game time and yet CCP let a guy fly around Jita named COON.
This baffles me - talk about insane double standards.
(maybe they've changed that guys name by now as I am in work I can't check if it exists any more but the point is he did and for at least a good couple of weeks)

I demand CCP chang the ISD name to something else for their crimes against the public.
70,000 people can attest to the fact that they have mamed, mutalated and slaughtered hundreds if not thousands of poor innocent posts.
It's offensive!
I also demand that CCP Change it's name for their war crimes consisting of nerfing, unbalancing and false advertising of our beloved game.
It's offensive!
Get to work! -------------

Grr, pathetic tbh.
Especially for the 4S guys, where do u think ****** got the swazzticker (sp). Its actually a slightly manipulated Hindu symbol. Have Hindu's around the world stopped using it in their homes, HELL NO!.
CCP / GM's, please get onto fixing things that the majority of the player base actually gives a rats ass about.

Edited by: Darcuese on 07/11/2005 11:55:48 Well,my opinion is that some things got out of the CCP's hand. Some thing (technical nature) they cant fix after 5000 ppl on server become 17000 ppl. So they need some other stuff to prove they are in control ALL my words on this forum are my OWN thoughts and opinions |

Edited by: Feta Solamnia on 07/11/2005 12:04:47 Hello, I've run into this post by pure curiocity. I have to add here, that I have heard that there is a specific group of people exploiting GM's *ahem*Stupidness for a long time now to engage in outer-game warfare. I have seen this happening in not just corporations, but in people too. But because of the also stupid policy of not allowing anyone to let others know about those stuff, it has been hearsay mostly (baaad for CCP's reputation, since hearsay gets worse on every round). Anyway, I've seen other moves like that with people getting renamed with silly reasoning. Most of all a person I know in RL was hit by that bat and he was actually expecting it. He was waging war vs. a group of people that were known to get advantage of the dumb rules and he was hit by it. Don't ask who that group was, I have no idea, never asked. Also the person is not on eve any more, after seeing these kinds of things he left in a hurry.
I firmly believe that people repeating this kind of tactic should be hit with the banstick, no warning, no chance of coming back. Just check the damn petition logs and I think you will see a pattern emerging.
I love seeing peple fight out there, I love to see people using clever tactics and borderline-exploit things, but this kind of warfare and behaviour cannot be acceptable.
EDIT: here's an idea. I've heard that my name means "fat" in some northern language (was it swedish?). Try petitioning me, be creative on what solamnia means (mebbe claim it's your surname/nickname and I'm mocking you becase I know you in RL?). I bet it will work.

You fail to realise that it doesnt matter how covered you think you are. It's all about how somebody else relates to the name that matters. ___________________________ Chicks dig Brutor's |

As my CEO said "Guys, we can just hope that HUN does not means ***** in any foreign languages."
I hope this "project banz0r" wont involve any more old corporations and 4S along with SAS will get back their name, as before. I dont think it would serve CCPs interest if more and more people would start rabbling outside this forum. Friends and foes are protesting. What else more those GM's need? Where are the responsible people?
Imho there sould been already an official answer to the public instead of locking. There are people, who are worried, because you can never know what your name means in some African tribal language and there are people, who will append/cancel subsription in case some a**t*rd petitions their name.
Just to mention: SAS (means eagle in Hungarian) is banz0red, so beware naming your corp after a bird/animal with capital letters, you can never know how offensive it means (guess those ebil mices petitioned it). Avoid number+letter cominations too, because like 4S means 4S. So if you were planning naming your corporation/character/alliance like T3 or 2K, you might be banz0red. ______________________

No, it's about how CCP's rules govern name changes, it has nothing to do with peoples perceptions of a name.

@CCP
Sorry about the highjaking but i think CCP has her PANTIES IN A TWIST with some thing is not even a problem ..
Any way i have a little story to tell as well that proves something is wrong here...
As few know i am a from Greece and born and grew up in a very very famous Island called *L.E.S.B.O.S* yep you reading it correct where the great Sapfo teached the young l.e.s.b.i.a.n girls.... etc etc
Now i wanted to create a corp called "T.h.e L.e.s.b.i.a.n.s" cause few of my mates from this Island wanted to play EvE with my and..... well some GM told my that the name is ... well BAD..
But HEY CCP I AM a greek born in the island of L.E.S.B.O.S.. SO if you ask any will tell you that I AM A LE.S.B.I.AN right.... so why the name convetion is BAD or not allowed ?? Like i will say someone from Germany is GERMAN or some one from Island is an a Islander.... etc
And by the WAY i respected there req NOT to do it but is getting crazy with there conservative ideas lately
And thanks CCP for the great game but you need to lighten up a bit.
EDIT: God DAMN STUPID PROF filter and CCP i expect to allow this word to be displayed cause i will get upset if you stop me from dispaying my nationality, I hope you understand this " we greeks are very proud for our land and where we coming from. ----------------------------------------------
I will get your Pod but i will still "Love Ya" "Run Rabbits Run"

Nah it's about how inconsistently the EULA is policed on this issue. Currently we're totally at the mercy of whether or not someone takes a disliking to you and how switched on the GM is across who's screen the petition gets through to rather than a fair and consistent application of policy.
