Found my first a-hole on the Blue Server

The PnP are the server rules, not whatever you imagine them to be. And again ...

In the PnP, please show how me where it says that sitting down in front of a spawn point (that you didn't kill) grants you exclusive ownership of the next spawn at that point.

After some digging - Loramin is indeed correct. The first player lost their camp after leaving the zone, making in unclaimed.

Losing Camps
Players lose camps when any of the following occurs:
...
The player leaves the zone, dies, or similarly "reloads"

But, that doesn't mean just sitting at the spawn gives the second player the camp:

You can claim an unclaimed camp by being the first to engage a mob at that camp.

Of course they're not what I imagine them to be. They're what the staff has repeatedly ruled they are in live situations. At that point, it doesn't matter what the PnP says if the staff consistently rules in a somewhat different manner.

Your argument is like saying "well this law uses these words, and the Supreme Court has ruled this is what words mean, but that doesn't matter and we should just ignore that."

The argument that you should be making is that the PnP be updated to be in line with how the staff treats the situations in real time. This has been an issue plaguing P99 in the past. The staff begins ruling something a certain way consistently, but it's technically in conflict with the plain language of the PnP. This is one of those situations where a player would be wise to not abide strictly by the language of the PnP and assume they can just come in and FTE the camp...the staff have suspended people for that in the past.

My argument is that the people enforcing the rules generally adhere to the posted rules (ie. the PnP).

When a single poster reports "but my friend's mother's uncle's cousin got a different ruling one time at band camp", it doesn't change my opinion.

They don't on this issue though? Anyone who has played on this server for years knows that, which is why I'm so surprised you're debating this...or maybe you haven't played in a long time and are just reading the forums.

At any rate, if that's your opinion you're welcome to have it. But anyone reading this thread would be wise to ignore it and expect the staff to rule that whoever is sitting at the camp has claimed the camp if the prior person has left the zone or hasn't left the zone but returned to the camp and cleared spawns within a reasonable period of time of them spawning. Which is the way staff have ruled for years regardless of what the PnP on the Wiki says.
