What a silly boy. So if I was intending on giving my friend the spawn instead of person X on the list I can sit there until I know the mob will respawn soon, then shoot the tell off to the dude who was supposed to get the camp and when the mob pops my friend is already there staking his claim to the site. But, but, but,but the ist?!?

Ok first off, why on God's green earth would you even do that? If you're going to give a camp to your friend, and Bob walks up and says "can I get on the list?", why would you lie and tell Bob he's on the list, and then secretly give the camp to your friend? Any sane person would just say "sorry Bob, my friend Fred is next, but you're welcome to ask him about being next after."
But IF you lied to Bob, told him he was next on the list, and then let your friend have the camp ... realistically Bob would probably never know, which means no GM would be brought in, which means the rules aren't even relevant.
But IF Bob was secretly sitting there invis, and saw you give the camp to his friend after he told you that you could have it, you absolutely could petition, and all else being equal you would "win" (but that "all else being equal" part is important: remember, GMs adjudicate not just on the merits of cases, but also on other factors like how polite, or not, the players involved act).

Or maybe I went link dead after I got what I wanted and someone else came by and snagged it? Does the camp holder have to have a mgic wand tha ensures their internet connectivity? do tell.

We covered this scenario already. If the camp holder suddenly goes link dead, all bets are off. But again, the vast majority of the time if a player sits there for however many hours waiting for a spawn, the odds of their internet crapping out the exact moment they get the kill are extremely small. And barring that extremely unlikely situation, the vast vast majority of players are simply going to send a tell to whoever is next on the list after they kill the mob, because it takes almost no effort to do so and most people aren't psychopaths.
If the entirety of your weird obsession with non-existent list rules is coming from scenarios where people's Internet connections crap out at fantastically unlikely times ... well it's time to find a new weird obsession.
