The only reason you can use these arguments is because of that one sentence about handing off to whomever you want. Selfish people create these situations, and thereby cause all these rules and situational variants to crop up because they have no concept of respect or courtesy. Every situation seems to have need of the police, or a judge to make a ruling because we cannot 'play nice'. One of the most basic concepts you all should understand is the concept of standing in a line.
You go to the bank? Stand in line. Go to an airport? Stand in line. Go to a concession stand? Stand in line. Go to court? Stand in line. Cafeteria? Traffic lights? You wait your turn. You want fair? you want even steven? You want socially accepted? You don't go to the bank and when you get in line call up your brother. Then your sister. then your mother, and your other brother, and and and and. The very notion is ridiculous. I for one would like to see more support for the change. It only supports the minority of the population who aren't at all interested in 'competition'. It smacks of selfishness and greed. You want to loot something, wait at the camp and loot it when your turn arrives.
Shit if anyone tried something like this on live the GM would tell them to move along once they had the loot. Or to wait their turn.. that was MY classic experience.
