People who CC break my balls and I'm not the only one. Are they being empathetic about it? Hell no. Half of them still come to your camp to check it anyway after you answer so why bother? Every time I log in I keep getting random request from ppl who don't give a shit about me. What are you camping? Can you rez me? Can I you do me a favour? Mind if I ask you something? (This one is golden, you already did dude, that's one useless question on top of the other one)

I'm not an autistic guy and I'm more empathetic than you think. And I sure as shit give and deliver more than I receive. I try to avoid bothering people with my personal needs, specifically because I'm empathetic. CC are useless, and people who use CC are annoying. Only case I use it is when I reach a cleared camp with nobody around.

Wouldnt they both have to pick a single room the other can't touch and the rest would all be fte Until another group came in to claim another room?

By a strict reading of the PnP and Camp Rules, yes. But you have to understand the staff didn't make the Camp Rules page: a random player did. I dug through old forum searches and compiled it from various assorted GM posts ... posts they'd never intended to be used in a rules document.

Now of course, if they hated it they'd make me take it down: I suspect they just feel ambivalent about it. And the reason for that is not that they hate the players knowing the rules, it's that they want people to know the actual rules.

As I said, there's a third piece to those rules, GM Fiat, and it could be argued that it's the most important. So the staff doesn't want the Camp Rules page to make anyone to forget that:

there's a massive "gray area" between the Play Nice Policies/Camp Rules and actual GM practice.

That's why I brought up the Seb Crypt. It's been "adjudicated" thoroughly here in the forums, more than just about any spot (thanks to one especially dedicated soloer of it who got in repeated public camp disputes) ... and yet as I said, despite what the "written rules" say, I think if a GM got a petition from a soloer trying to break up an established full group there ... I'm honestly not sure it would play out strictly "by the book". I think the GM Fiat gray area contains rules that treat groups differently some of the time.
