AFK camping is different from what you are suggesting Tecmos. AFK camping is when you AFK and have a pet kill mobs for you, not even returning for the named/ph spawns. You are allowed to AFK between spawns as long as you are physically present and ready to engage when the mob pops. You can kill Frenzy and leave your computer for 27' 59'' and if you are ready to engage Frenzy again when he respawns it's all good.
You are right about the GM's choosing to side with whoever was physically at the camp, or at very least you are correct in that it does happen occasionally. As I've stated before, this situation just happened to me recently. Slave, you are probably right that quoting specific rules in that situation might aid the original camper as well.
All I am trying to do is inform anyone interested in this detail that they are not guaranteed the camp just because the rules seem to indicate as such. I expected to be awarded the right to choose between my camps. That was not the case. I also lost the GM petition. This was because I was not physically present when the newcomer stumbled into the room. To recap, named/ph was not spawned, I was back in time, I told the newcomer I was camping it, he initiated FTE as I was typing to him the situation for the 3rd time and telling him he was wrong. I petitioned the GM, and I lost. Do I disagree with the GM? Maybe, but that's irrelevant.
Recap: expect to have to be present, and make sure you land FTE, or be ready to make a big federal case about it.
