Claiming "burden of proof" is a good way to win the argument by assuming laziness on the part of the other guy. Smile

Does this mean the guy's over on the Chinese server with polaris are not under some sort of volunteer contract agreement with Tiancity? Because if not I can understand the problem.[/quote]

No official anouncement has ever been made saying anything that this player owner internet radio station has a direct contract with Tiancity.

Have you actually seen the stats on an Eidolon? A couple of normal battleships would take it down pretty quick.


A couple of them have actually seen combat, and I think it take a little more than a couple of normal battleships to take them down.
Not saying it cant be done though. Thinking a PL titan blob maybe can.

You do realise those are two forum posts detailing the sightings of IDSs in Polaris frigs right? Forum posts from personal experience. What exactly do you think my original post was?

I think they started it when FW was introduced. The idea was to allow certain player volunteers to keep other players up to date on the real happenings of FW and write up reports and what not. That is as far as I remember.

Not sure why people are busting a nut over this. (Edit: Clearly these players would be highly monitored)


I don't see anything about "I saw one." So your first post about it was not a firsthand, contemporaneous account.

Thanks for assuming I didn't already know that. But then again I was simply providing input from personal experience (which oddly enough is exactly what the links I provided were doing... you know... the one's you treated as evidence.)

In the time it took you to write that post you could've searched for it yourself.


This looks a lot like you not understanding how the burden of proof works when making a claim (also not understanding what relevant evidence is).

If you expect people to believe a hazy "I think that X was doing Y because I heard it somewhere/think I remember hearing it somewhere/had a vivid dream about it/had an out of body experience about it/heard a rumor about it somewhere" just because of the casual nature of this forum, you're a silly.

That one post from 2006 that said "Hey, there was an ISD in a Polaris Frig hanging around" is plenty of evidence for me. If this weren't a casual forum, it probably wouldn't be enough, because 1 sighting is not independently corroborated evidence.

As for the potato, all you have to do to prove the existence of a Potato is to find an independent source for a picture of a potato. Nothing drawn out about it. A link to a Google images search will probably fit the bill pretty well there.

On behalf of a friend I am posting his request for CCP's response toward a recently incident in Serenity Server.

His letter follows below:

Dear CCP
Rumors have claimed that with the help and authorization of CCP, Tiancity the agent of Serenity server have issued a GM ship Polaris to a player ID called FM8052记者. The owner of this ID works for a player owned online radio station FM8052 which reports events in Serenity on their online channel. Recently the radio station reporters have encountered difficulties in reporting the ongoing war in Serenity due to malicious aggression from the warring factions. In order to safely broadcast the ongoing war, they have asked Tiancity for help and this is how the authorization of a GM ship in Serenity came to be.

Though many restrictions have been put upon this ID and the ship, I still have some doubts that needs clarifying.

1. Did CCP really authorize the ship and know the whole picture that it will be in the hands of an individual player and the ship could go anywhere it wants with total immunity from any kind of aggression? (NOT A GM!! ALSO NOT A ISD:IC MEMBER!!)
2. Is it really necessary and acceptable to authorize such a privileged ship to an ordinary player on his request just to report 'news'?
3. What kind of precautions have CCP and Tiancity deployed to prevent this player and ID, if unfortunate, breaking the integrity of Serenity and EVE-Online?

The Players in Serenity love this game and this incident concerns us greatly. We hope to hear from CCP and explain the situation as soon as possible.

Yours Sincerely
EVE Player in Serenity Server
