Thankfully we had a set of rules in place and a GM interaction insuring that the right man got the camp.

I actually had people waiting for the camp go to sleep, and log back in the next day like "you're still here?!". Anyways, that blows man. Rule lawyers will be rule lawyers. People are always looking to fuck someone else over for their own gain. It's a sad reality you will learn to live with playing here.

36 hours there for me once...moved over to OOT and got it in like 2.

Wait, so you logged out?

Then you aren't there to claim the camp. You lost. Worse, you advertised that you were logging and practically invited someone to come and claim it.

I totally agree 100% that it was a douche-bag move for them to do it, I'm adamant about adhering to the play-nice policy but I also assume that 99% of everyone else doesn't so I do my best to keep my camp in an iron fist.
Here's a story that led to my 'fuck-you, I get mine' mentality:
I was camping the OOT AC and some newbie at sisters asked in OOC where me to buy some weapons to make his pet Dual Wield. I OOC'd back that the dwarf vendor on that island sold rusty broadswords. He tells me The dwarf is dubious and wont sell to him. I'm at AC so I /OOC tell him meet me there and I'll buy him a bagful. I kill the AC PH, /guard the pet to stand ON THE SPAWN POINT and run over to the island. I buy him a dozen swords and head back...
When I get back I find a mage with his fire pet out and parked literally on top of my Skeleton. We converse for a second. He tells me I wasn't present and my pet didn't count as claim and I was SoL.....cyclops PH pops and we both go to work...His nukes out do mine and he gets the kill. Somehow this justifies in his mind that he owns the camp. After 2 more ph pops I get fed up and leave.

Welcome to P99.... land of "Fuck You".

PH wasn't up, it's technically yours.

Technically or not, it's about perception and douchebaggy-ness.
I know it was mine. I know I was was there and back before the 6min cycle was up.
The debate was over the perception of ownership. His position was that because my character wasn't physically there, I was no longer in position of the camp. It didn't seem to matter to him that I hadn't left the zone, hadn't logged out, and could, in fact, still see my pet standing on the beach as

In the end, it's not about 'technically'. It's about who can be the bigger dick.
So next time, that lowbie in need of a favor gets ignored because I won't be willing to run 10 seconds away from my camp in between PH's to give him a hand.

This isn't about being a dick vs not being one. Bottom line is, I was in the zone and you were not, in fact, no one was except me and my friend. So, he wanted to take the AC camp and we did and 5 minutes after we were camping morby pops in claiming it is his. So take a step back a second, I was in the zone with my friend and we were the only two there, so should we believe someone knowing people camp out at AC all the time to try and snatch and open camp? I think not. My stance is and was he was lying since I had no previous knowledge of his /ooc I am relogging from AC or wtf ever the SS says.

Face it, people lie all the time on this server and I can't just give up an open camp because someone claims to have went LD.

And this is what a shitlist is for

[saucer]

I've had shit like this come up before, in fact I've been on both ends. It is annoying to find a camp empty, start to get everything together and then someone comes out of nowhere and says it is theirs.

Despite this, I have always given the camp up to avoid threads like this being started about me. When I have been on the other end (I went LD, came back and someone was there) the guy gave the camp to me when i was right about the respawn time.

These guys sound like shitheads.

[saucer]

Ya.. especially after seeing that screenshot, what a couple of fucking assholes. They were on notice that he was fixing a glitch and took the opportunity to screw him over.

Fuck you lithomagnum.

To add to the above:

No, I didn't petition. We all know that it would have ended in a timeout. Either way I was done camping the AC. I might as well keep my mouth shut. As Uthgaard says, EXP is bad at server select.

[Scaramuccia]

I think the lesson here is not to broadcast to the zone that you are leaving your camp unattended.
