Holgresh Elder Cave - 1 camp or 11 camps?

[indiscriminate_hater]

mountain dew has 54 mg of caffeine per can. it's balanced so that you can keep pounding them down, about one every half hour during a gaming binge. can't keep that up with monster

- an IV drip that has water with 5-hour energy mixed in it

- a little microwave next to my computer and a freezer full of hot pockets

My numbers:

8 elder, 1 Grand Viser

1 Holgresh Elder Beads

Other people I have talked with took 8-15 hours to get their beads clearing the room solo. One person got theirs in a couple hours.

With that drop rate, it is ridiculous to propose that this be split beyond a single camp.
Agree on a single camp, agree on publicised lists that you have to be present to be included on. There are no downsides to this setup.

The only people that would get rustled are those that can't monopolise the market.

It's one gigantic room with direct LoS to all 11 spawns.

Then it's 1 camp. Thanks for the insight.

This what you're going to get if it's a "camp", a clique of collaborating neckbeards working in shifts, corpsing scores of pixels and never giving up the camp for months.

I think only in p99 can you talk about someone holding a camp for months and be speaking literally.

shits classic, though.

Kunark Era CSR Guidelines:

8.2.1.2 Examples of Major Disruption:

Foul Language - excessive use of foul language in an inappropriate context, including swear words, real-world racial slurs, and other language that is not consistent with the fantasy environment and designed to hurt.

Harassment - targeting another player, or group of players, to harm or inconvenience them

Zone/Area Disruption - monopolizing most or all of the kills in an area rather than stealing from a specific player or group of players, deliberately blocking a doorway or narrow area so other players can't get past, refusing to cooperate with the other parties at a contested spawn site after having been instructed to do so by a CS Representative

8.2.3 Contested Spawn Complaints



When a complaint is received indicating that a spawn or kill is contested, a disruption investigation should first be initiated according to the procedures of section 8.2.2 to determine if harassment or Zone/Area disruption is occurring. After following those procedures and issuing warnings as necessary, instruct the parties involved in the contested spawn situation to work out a compromise. Then leave the scene.

If another complaint is received involving the same spawn site, another disruption investigation should be initiated. After following those procedures and issuing warnings as necessary, if any of the parties involved were involved in the initial situation, establish a compromise for the parties to which the parties are required to abide. The compromise should be as described in section 8.2.3.1. Any party refusing to abide by the compromise established by the CS Representative should be issued a warning for disruption.
On PvP servers, where players can reach a solution to the contested spawn situation, the CS Representative does not need to require the players to share the spawn.

8.2.3.1 The compromise will require all parties to take turns killing the spawn(s). All parties involved in the contested spawn should be instructed to use /random 0 100 to choose a number. The CS Representative then uses /random 0 100. The individual with the closest number to the CS Representative's number will be next in the rotation. The CS Representative then bases the rest of the rotation order on how close the other parties' numbers were to theirs. The compromise established by a CS Representative must be objective and not require the CS Representative to choose one customer over another based on subjective criteria. The CS Representative is the arbiter in any disputes in establishing the compromise.

Feels great to not have to deal with all this type of nonsense on red.

I am so glad none of my characters will be lusting after these, lol. I'll be sure to pour one out in honor of all you folks who'll be sacrificing untold hours in hopes of obtaining these particular pixels.

I'm thinking the CSR policy Ele quoted would require more CSR volunteers than p99 has. And no doubt at least some of the wannabe rules lawyers around here would attempt to abuse it by walking up and "contesting" camps just to grief people. Seems like it could easily turn into a nightmare.
