RU Sirius Jericho Fraction The Star Fraction	Posted - 2008.11.12 15:24:00 - [1] At the CCP Panel at fanfest an Icelandic player got up and asked for his corp ticker back. He was in the Coalition of Carebear Killers whose ticker was C O C K and was removed for being offensive. In support and since I'm Scottish I'd like to lend support to this issue by reproducing a Robert Burns poem. C ock up your B eaver. When first my brave Johnie lad came to this town, He had a blue bonnet that wanted the crown, But now he has gotten a hat and a feather - Hey, brave Johnie lad, c ock up your b eaver! C ock up your b eaver, and c ock it fu' sprush! We'll over the border and gie them a brush: There's somebody there we'll teach better behavior - Hey, brave Johnie lad, c ock up your b eaver! this is a real Burns poem, google it and see. The poem is about preparing to tech the enemy a lesson. Give them their C O C K back.
Dirk Magnum Royal Hiigaran Navy	Posted - 2008.11.12 15:27:00 - [2] Okay c ock up your beaver aside, I also support the restoration of the C O C K ticker. It was good enough for the announcers to say in an alliance tournament so it's good enough for the game itself tbh. Who is honestly offended by the capital letters C O C K anyway?
Doonoo Boonoo Amarr Hedion University	Posted - 2008.11.12 15:34:00 - [3] Originally by: Dirk Magnum Who is honestly offended by the capital letters C O C K anyway? Angry Carebears probably. Anyhow, it's the name for a Male Chicken so it's not in the least bit offensive.

Maddi Cruor Frater Coalition Of Carebear Killers	Posted - 2008.11.12 15:41:00 - [5] Thx for your support Bring back the C OCK
Rhatar Khurin Minmatar Free Ammatar Aid Organisation	Posted - 2008.11.12 15:42:00 - [6] But they clearly made their ticker to purposely be offensive, rather than reciting the deranged ramblings of a drunk Scotsman.
Li Fengxian Gallente Brothers In Scarlet	Posted - 2008.11.12 15:58:00 - [7] Edited by: Li Fengxian on 12/11/2008 15:58:10 Originally by: Rhatar Khurin But they clearly made their ticker to purposely be offensive, rather than reciting the deranged ramblings of a drunk Scotsman. Indeed, that is the kind of ticker a teenager who has watched too much "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back" would come with. If they really want their organization, all they have to do is change their org's name to be less offensive... although personally I really couldn't care less about it.
Darteis Elosia	Posted - 2008.11.12 16:09:00 - [8] I support their ticker. It's awesome. And if you can't take a joke, **** you!
Ris Dnalor Minmatar Ex Cruoris Libertas	Posted - 2008.11.12 16:16:00 - [9] Edited by: Ris Dnalor on 12/11/2008 16:16:52 what's the age rating on Eve anyway? I mean with drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, slavery, religious fanaticism, prostitutes, dancing girls... how is profanity so awful? how are words worse than the above? Don't give me the crap about making the game kid-friendly either. I remember being on a playground at 8 years ond. Most of us cursed like sailors, just not when the adults were within earshot. Kids watch cable, they see random adults stub their toe and hear what comes out of their mouths in exclamation afterward. seriously. Ideas cause problems, not words. Stop the censorship. Frankly it's beneath the player-base, and it's beneath CCP.

I mean with drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, slavery, religious fanaticism, prostitutes, dancing girls (I'm not saying these things are bad or good or even similar to each other in any way, other than they elicit a response from small minded people that don't want "stuff" to be talked about in public) how is profanity so awful and deserving of censorship by comparison? how are words worse than the above? Like I said, I couldn't care less about this... but this game is, theorically, about mature people. Because it's supposed to be a mature world, with a mature settings and mature subjects. Corporations are supposed to be made and handled by adults, not by teenage schoolboys having a lolling that their corp's ticker makes the word C**K.

Here goes the ad hominem. Really, can't we disagree about a topic here without some smartass replying by an insult? What age are you, fourteen?
Rhatar Khurin Minmatar Free Ammatar Aid Organisation	Posted - 2008.11.12 16:29:00 - [14] Rude alliance ticker made for "lulz" gets nerfed by CCP shocker. Seriously, did they see this going any other way?

Really, can't we disagree about a topic here without some smartass replying by an insult? What age are you, fourteen? no no , that's fine, I thought maybe you were poking fun at me a bit. I've never thought of eve that way, but I don't begrudge you your opinion.

Blastil	Posted - 2008.11.12 16:35:00 - [17] I would also request the return of Jihad Swarm. Maybe we'll get somewhere with carebears...
Amarr Citizen 15948891	Posted - 2008.11.12 16:42:00 - [18] not only did eve lose it's C.O.C.K but after this last 'patch' it also lost it's balls
wessam	Posted - 2008.11.12 16:42:00 - [19]
Josef Odinssen Caldari Caldari Imperial Empire Navy	Posted - 2008.11.12 16:46:00 - [20] so why is "the bastards" allowed and ** isnt? you can't have a bastard without a ** anyways.
Pesky LaRue Minmatar	Posted - 2008.11.12 16:48:00 - [21] whilst i'd like to think the EVE playerbase is a bit beyond getting offended by a juvenile corp ticker, it IS really immature and it's not clever, funny or worthy of making a fuss over. acting like children and then pouting after getting a spank from an adult is not like having their civil liberties stomped on. ++ ++ ++ ++ ++ ++ ++
Bish Ounen Gallente Omni-Core Freedom Fighters Ethereal Dawn	Posted - 2008.11.12 16:49:00 - [22] No. The entire point of that corp ticker was to be juvenile and try to get a "naughty" word in despite game rules prohibiting it. It was stupid and juvenile, I'm glad they lost it and I relish in their tears. Besides, Tickers should never include adjectives, adverbs, and conjunctions. So the correct Ticker for "Corporation of Carebear Killers" should be "CCK". Tactical Logistics using the last T1 Frigate hull!
Caiman Graystock Comrades in Construction Anarchy.	Posted - 2008.11.12 16:58:00 - [23] Rampaging around a universe pretending to be blowing up ships full of people is no problem, violence is much more acceptable than some petty words, apparently! It's pretty pathetic.
Berserkur Cruor Frater	Posted - 2008.11.13 00:46:00 - [24] thank you so much for your support! we all need a bit of ** in our life dont we? anyway, i kinda laughed when i read the 14 year old schoolkids thingy, because i myself am our youngest member of 20 years old, and our oldest is born in the fifties... its not to be "violent" or whatever, its just our ticker, its a bit of a laugh... please dont nerf the ! what would the devs do if their ** got nerfed?
Blane Xero Amarr The Firestorm Cartel	Posted - 2008.11.13 00:57:00 - [25] Is this the same CCK that got their ass handed to them by a mission running group of corps when they ganged up against them? the same CCK that lost a Dread, Carrier and POS in the space of 2 days? Hahaha i thought they gave up.
Cpt Branko Surge.	Posted - 2008.11.13 00:58:00 - [26] Originally by: Caiman Graystock Rampaging around a universe pretending to be blowing up ships full of people is no problem, violence is much more acceptable than some petty words, apparently! It's pretty pathetic. Violence, slavery, murder et al is fine, much less offensive then referring to male genitalia after all. Morbid, innit? Sig removed, inappropriate link.

Neu Bastian Minmatar Valklear Guard	Posted - 2008.11.13 01:25:00 - [27] I'ma say bring the c o c k back. Quote: Neu Bastian Valklear Guard - CEO
Lady Aja Caldari Ore Mongers Black Hand.	Posted - 2008.11.13 01:31:00 - [28] you know how many offensive tickers there are out there?... heaps **. is one that comes to mind. not to mention sexually orientated chr names.. bound to be a phill M'cavity and a phukq lol Many kudos to Foulque for my sig..**
Smacko Thug State War Academy	Posted - 2008.11.13 01:35:00 - [29] If CNT isnt allowed (A slang word for female genitals) Dont see why CCK (A slang word for male genitals) should be. People make mention of "But arent we all mature adults here who shouldnt be offended by the word ***"... Yeah, mature adults want CNT WHRE or CCK as a ticker... right? Didnt think so.
Zaknussem Caldari The Ironbreakers	Posted - 2008.11.13 02:06:00 - [30] There's a system in Metropolis called Brundakur. There isn't an Icelander alive that thinks that the word is anything but potty humour. Yet it is allowed to stay in the game. Double standard? If Icelandic potty words like Brundakur are allowed, then why not use them? Why not just use the Icelandic word for C ock? Most of them aren't even censored by the forum. Get creative. Pull out a dictionary.
