Hill Giants FTE?

So they don't want to create a system of precise rules, but Galach just created such a precise rule out of thin air, which may or may not apply at any given time, which only forum-dwellers will know about since its extremely unintuitive, and you think this is an example of keeping things simple? This is neither simple nor predictable, nor fair. If someone is camping a spawn spot, and attacks an HG wandering by unengaged, some guy can immediately run in and grab the spawn pt he was sitting on? What if he attacks a basilisk or a lizard man?

This is the problem with trying to control things: the more rules you make, the more star systems slip through your fingers.

No, Galach didn't create anything (except a forum post).

I, a player, added his "ruling" quote to the wiki, as I do every time I see one. But again, that does not create some kind of rules bible: the staff is under no obligation to follow the camp rules page or any other GM's (or even their own) previous rulings. All of that only exists to give players a sense of how future GMs are likely rule, not to promise them anything.

But again, the staff doesn't do any of this to confuse people, and even in this thread Galach took pains to say "hey I don't know the deal with Pyzjn, so all I'll say is we'll be consistent with other stuff". So similarly here, if this is confusing, they'll likely clear it up at some point. In fact, as you can see on the Rulings page, that's happened before: a GM gave an incorrect ruling in the forum, and later it got cleared up. They're human after all.

Until then, anyone trying to draw some general server rule from Galach commenting on one specific case doesn't seem to understand how the staff handles rules at all. What I think people should take from it is ... IF you are somewhere like Seafuries/Hill Giants, which normally is a mess of mobs running around ... and IF, for whatever reason (eg. it's so busy on Seafury island there are more players than spawn points) you decide to camp a single point, and then IF on top of that you go kill some more mobs while waiting for your point, and IF during that time someone doesn't realize that point is yours, so you get into a dispute, and IF a GM gets involved ...

... THEN, MAYBE, you might have to stick to your one Hill Giant/Seafury/whatever spawn and not go after any others.
