There is no rule saying that if you do a cc in an empty zone that you get a claim on all mobs in the zone. On P99 the only way to claim a camp is to kill a mob, and until you do that, every unclaimed mob is FTE.
Exactly like the line at the movie theater, except for one thing: maybe get yo ass beat.

Again, the line at a movie theater is defined to work a certain way; if you don't follow the rules, you get in trouble (eg. an ass beating). Same with the "line" at a busy bar: if you don't follow the rule (of trying to get the bartender's attention), the consequence is you don't get a drink. Or if you try to steal someone else's drink, maybe you get thrown out.

P99 is no different: if someone else kills a mob that you were "in line for" (ie. you killed it last, and you didn't leave) you will face a punishment (eg. the staff will give you a warning or suspension).

But if you make up your own rules for any line (eg. "I'm going to wait for my turn at a busy bar" or "I'm going to assume that a mob is mine because I sat in front of its spawn point in an empty zone") you will potentially be disappointed when others don't follow them.

What about the line outside the movie theater you dumpster fire.
