The person holding the camp cannot mislead you, or change his mind after telling you who is next. Something that no one ever does (and I will never understand why) is to specifically address the camp holder, asking who is next or if you can be next. The camp holder does need to reveal to you who the next intended camp holder is - if he doesn't, you may ask to be next and your claim will be valid unless he reveals the next person immediately. This person cannot change after the camp holder has "revealed" the next person to take the camp to you. It is an automatic forfeit if this occurs. If you ask to be the next camp holder and are told yes, the camp holder may not later retract or change this agreement and attempt to hand the camp off to someone else - it's yours once he has gotten his item or moved on from the camp.
So why does this not apply to this guy?

Lists were made to be broken.

It absolutely does! Thanks for finding that, I've added it to the wiki's Rulings page.

Also, just to reinforce another point, I found a quote where the staff said it was ok to go AFK while waiting for a spawn. In fact, they said it was ok to go to sleep, and even encouraged doing so for one camp:

For the most part, a camp is yours as long as you have presence at that camp. If you die, go LD or leave the zone you can lose the camp if another player calls you on it. SF, AC, Lucan are no exceptions.

Staying awake for the duration of SF spawn is dumb and bad for your health, think about it.

When I camped SF I basically just parked my character there afk for a week. I was 4th in line when I showed up, I checked on my computer like once or twice a day til it was my turn, then I spent 2 hours at a time watching youtube waiting for him to spawn when it was my turn. All in all I think my character was at the spawn for an entire week, but I was only in front of the computer for less than 4 hours during that time.

Even had SF spawn once while I was still 2nd in line and I happened to see it. Stunned it, sent the camp holder a tell, waited a minute or two, he came back from afk and killed it. If he had remained unresponsive for like 5 minutes I would have considered the camp (and therefore the mob) mine since that likely would have meant he was asleep or something, but he came back quickly enough. If memory serves me right the entire time I was there, all the campers were very cooperative with each other because that camp can be such a pain otherwise. Why a lot of people can't show common decency with long spawns in this game is beyond me, but you reap what you sow. If the game sucks, it's because the community makes it that way.

I solved that list nonsense when I used to camp it regularly. Whenever I got the camp I would only maintain the name of the person behind me on the previous list. If they wanted to honor some long list, they could, but I wasn't going to do it. That person would get a tell when I was engaging AC and that was it. No sitting and holding camp while they found a port to BB, etc. As soon as I looted ring I left. Not my problem if someone else showed up and assumed camp.

I think they're referencing https://wiki.project1999.com/Stormfeather but as I've never camped it I can't be certain.
