Rule interpretation question..

[LevinJ]

Not intended as a rant, but this happened today and I want to know how the rules would handle this...

I enter SRO, find AC PH walking around the zone at night, kill it. Then get grief tossed at me for KSing from guy who claims he is camping the AC. My anonymous friend explains to me that the trick to making the AC spawn is to leave the PH up overnight. Basically, he tells me he is camping AC but not killing PH (or any other mobs) because that is his theory of how it spawns.

So I know that a camp is only yours if you are killing the mobs. And I know AC does require PHs to be killed to spawn. So my question is, by the rules did he have right to the camp based on his flawed strategy where he was sitting in the right spot but not actually killing PH or anything else?

Linking the rule thread with no other commentary doesn't answer my question. I explained in my post that I understand the rules, and am asking how they would be applied here in this awkward situation.

He is only "camping" it if he is sitting on the spawn point and keeping it killed.
If its running around then its not his.

The AC only has a chance to spawn at a certain time of day. That's actually how the camp works: you leave the PH alone until 10AM(?) gametime, and then there is a chance it will spawn at 8PM(?) gametime.

There's one spawn in South Ro with a 30.66666666 minute repop time that has a 10% chance of being the ancient cyclops, but he has to spawn at night. He's on the same spawn table with a_desert_madman, a_dervish_cutthroat, a_sand_giant, and a_mummy.

You are a fucking moron, Sir. I constantly see you posting inane shit in peoples threads. This guy is asking a completely valid question so let me just link the server Camp Rules because that way everyone will think i am funny and smart. Instead of chillin on your pedestal way up there and tossing insults down at us mere mortals you should maybe try SHUTTING THE FUCK UP.

If he had just inherrited the camp he likely had to wait for the right time to kill. If you kill the PH at night, the PH is going to spawn again as a day spawn, which = no ac. Sorry, dude, but ac camp is a bit unique. You probably unintentionally screwed that guy out of about an hour of his time for him to get the spawn timer right again.
