The line for JCP is a terrible concept

Suspensions can be put on IP's instead of accounts if necessary. There's always a way around kids trying to hog all of the ice cream.

What i'm saying is that will happen exactly once, then the plan will be to rotate in people who mysteriously aren't seemingly affiliated with the guild holding the monopoly on the spawn. Then it will just look like a bunch of random people that just happen to be on the list before you, and you won't know what guild to blame.

If I were running the place there'd be a catch-all "Don't be jerks or I'll be one too" rule. Guild A monopolizes a camp for a week while others, completely capable and prepared to handle the camp, get stuck sitting on the sidelines while shifts of players from Guild A come and go? I'd just suspend all of Guild A for 3 hours and tell them tough luck if they lost "their" camp. Don't be jerks.

Don't do anything Troy considers being a jerk. Got it! Clear as mud.

Don't be a jerk should be pretty clear...

unfortunately we play on P99 where players try to exploit nearly every situation in their favor. We shouldn't need a 30page list of rules for every situation in this game but it seems like that is what its going to take when everyones trying to rule lawyer in their own favor.

I remember starting on this server and the only rules were the 5 camp rules listed and a play nice policy. Most people on this server, at least the most vocal, don't want to play nice they want everything for themselves so we so more and more rules put in place.

So the system you advocate is basically just arbitrary time limits imposed by a GM?

"Oh, you guys have had enough, you need to leave or eat a temporary ban."

Sounds like a great way to reduce GM headache!

You think this is a P99 thing? Ever wonder where the term "Rules Lawyer" came from? Or why lawyers can be so highly-paid? It's because they facilitate exactly what you're talking about: they read the rules, and tell you exactly how far you can go without breaking them, and/or argue that you have/haven't broken them in front of a judge and/or jury.

If you think that's a P99 thing, you need to get out more.

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

Why the hell do we need big brother to solve the problems for us?
GM/Devs shouldn't have to waste their valuable time resolving all these little squables the children on this server have.

IMHO the GM/Devs should just handle this situation like SoE did. All they are about is who touched the mob first. That person gets the mob.

All these talks of camps and lines and yada yada yada are all player/server made and should remain that way. If someone acts a particular way that is out of line with the what the server deems acceptable, we have an RnF thread and we can blacklist these assholes.

Why the Devs/GMs even waste their time with this bullshit is beyond me.
