Scorchin took the DT from CT which is a result of being on the agro list. TMO engaged inbetween Scorchin being on the agro list and Scorchin dieing.

Hence, FTE SHOUT would have called SCORCHIN. Hence FTE would have been SCORCHIN'S if you engaged before he was off the agro list.

As you said yourself, this comes down to a matter of seconds. In this case, undoubtedly, fractions of a second.

The question is simply this: Should the rules allow for a decision maker to make rulings so as to promote fairness as much as possible, or should we operate strictly by the letter of the laws without deviation?

Clearly, we know what the rules are. The question is, what is fair?

Do you believe it would be fair if FE were in TMO's position instead? Would it be fair if the "sniping guild" were in the SE corner of the zone with the "puller" near the engaging raid? Do you believe that there exists any set of circumstances where the guild that is merited FTE by the encounter logs should not be merited the kill?

I believe that fairness demands flexibility and occasional subjective decision making. Perhaps you do not. Both are valid view points, the question is, which do we pursue for the health of the server?

I submit that slavish devotion to the current rules produces inequity and unfairness.
