Also anything to do with harming or being violent, such as having pain, suffering, or hurt, at the end of a name.

So Bacillus Anthracis. is the trifecta of bad corp name?

De'Veldrin's Corollary (to Malcanis' Law): Any idea that seeks to limit the ability of a large nullsec bloc to do something in the name of allowing more small groups into sov null will inevitably make it that much harder for small groups to enter sov null.

Bacillus Anthracis Violence Federation.

I don't judge people by their race, religion, color, size, age, gender, or ethnicity. I judge them by their grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation, clarity of expression, and logical consistency.

What if they START with a . ?

Or is that not possible?

And why is this? Is it because you suck at punctuation, at Latin and at medicine?

To everybody else: please change your corp and alliance names to common animals, fast food, and names of pron stars, because OP needs to make sense of you!

Loss is meaningful. Therefore is the loss of meaning likewise meaningful. It is the source of all trolling.

For me, it's not about the names. What gets to me, is that everyone is doing the exact same thing as anyone else, but categorically refuse to do it under someone else's banner.

Like, if it ain't me who's CEO&Founder it must be crap.

... but that's probably because the existing CEO&Founders are all: Mine, mine, mine and I, I, I ...

Now, Xeltec services is different. We're a brand. We don't recruit pilots, we don't mine, engage in pve or pvp. We sell services. We're dedicated, we're different.

I'm ok with all corps, alliances, forum alts, bloggers and solo-pilots who ARE different and therefore deserve to be in existence.

So yeah, names for corps and alliances, I'm rather indifferent to those.

Don't anger the forum gods.

Anything with Swarm, Test, Goon, Federation, alliance, Ignore, . , fleet, razor, fatal, black, red, anything named after a stingy insect, anything ending in 'eddit'... this list gets pretty long.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?
