Title: Bob is back and so is Keanu
Post by: Ferrosol on March 23, 2009, 10:29:39 PM
Seems that Kenzoku have somehow (dev favours? embarrassing photos of CCP "interacting" with sheep? a petition?) got their name changed to Band of Brothers reloaded. As a result the Eve-O forums are kicking up a shitstorm. Personally I don't care but surely they can come up with a better name than BOB reloaded as not only does it evoke that crappy matrix film but it is not even all that original.

Quote
Yesterday we changed the name of the alliance KenZoku to Band of Brothers Reloaded as the result of a petition by their leadership. It has come to our attention that this was not a popular decision among some of our players and we’d like to take this opportunity to address those issues.

We have previously changed names provided a petition was created within a reasonable timeframe and the situation warranted such action. The leadership of KenZoku/Band of Brothers did petition us immediately after they were disbanded and their name was taken. While we worked on the petition for about two months we do not feel that they should suffer because of that. Having them disband and lose sovereignty again was not deemed appropriate in this case.

Have to admit the Goon tears are so nice and tasty :)

Yes CCP did something they dont often do - if at all - but it hasnt actually affected anything tangible really.

Can't say I care about ccp changing the name. Seems like an ok thing in and of itself.
But why the heck pick such a stupid name.

The way i see it is that CCP need to put in place a "corporation Rebranding Fee" i mean RL companies do it all the time changing names etc so in the future in space why not? but they really should have clearer rules to follow and not appear to be favouring their Pet BOB.

For the goons it is.

Said corp is used to fund server costs, comms costs and such like and deal with proceeds from GTC sales via their shatetred crystal affiliate link.

That seems extraordinarily wimpy on the part of the authorities.

Was listening to this song and had to think of bob/kenny. And as it turns out, Balanescu suddenly has a lot of stuff on youtube (wasnt like that last time i looked for em), so I am listening to a 28 song playlist now, to see if it is worth buying the other cds

Anyway:
