The way it has traditionally been handled here, in my experience, is as follows:

The four named skeletons in the Crypt constitute a single camp (this is an anomaly as per standard rules this would be 4 camps, however precedent was set and maintained by the staff), however a person/group can opt to not kill the entire crypt. For instance, I can solo just Hiero and Duke and the other two are up for grabs if someone wants them. However, you must maintain a presence in the crypt area. If you or your group leave to go over the the Emperor area, you relinquish your rights to the Crypt.

This one time I was camping just Hiero and Calabee/Culprit/Hujerko and a group of VD people wiped at Chef. They knew I had my rogue parked there to handle the door and asked for help with some drags. I switched over to the rogue and started dragging them, and as I was on the last corpse or two they ran into Crypt (back then the undead frogs didn't all see through IVU) and claimed it for themselves. I logged back to my shaman and basically called them fuckers, but I sat around and waited for them to move to Emp and then reclaimed Hiero from them. They came back and killstole a sword-bearing named, so I petitioned them, but after 5 or 10 minutes with no response, I said "fuck it" and trained the hell out of them - it was a beautiful train =) Anyways, Ambrotos was watching the whole while and said he was about to award the camp back to me, but yeah, at that point he didn't =(
