What was the wizard's name?

Trying to think now, I have not seen him for awhile. Ah, it was Radioflyer. Man, that took me some time to recall it. I have not seen him in quite some time now though.
Honestly I wasn't that upset by his behavior, because I was on the list, and the list that day had me so far down it I probably would never see the camp that day. When the guy took the camp when the holder said she was done, he got the ring within 2-3 hours iirc, and I was next because I decided to sit there till he got it, or I had to log.
I had just come back to game after a long break, so found the situation kind frustrating, but interesting.
It also made me write a post about it, to ask about the rules regarding the AC, because I actually could see why people would do what he did, not honor some player made list, when the list was so long and had so many people on it, that chances of him getting a ring that day would have been highly unlikely.
I ended up benefitting from his assholery actually.
In fact, reading the old post now, I seemed more annoyed with people having alts on the list, and I did not like how the dude corpsed AC rings so I had asked if that was permissable.
***MM dug up an old post by Derubael, and posted it in that thread, so here it is regarding the AC spawn camp.

Camp holder has the right to pass the camp to whoever he would like. However, and this is very important, two things must happen in order for this to be a legitimate hand-off:
1) The player being handed the camp must be present around the time the first placeholder spawns after the last holder of the camp has gotten his or her item in hand. The person handing off the camp must stay at the spawn until the next person in line arrives, if that person is on their way to take the camp. There is a little leeway here, and we refuse to set an exact timer on how long the placeholder can be up before the camp is forfeited, but in general it should never be for more than a couple minutes or so. We tend to give the benefit of the doubt to the person coming in to take the camp in these situations as CSR staff, so waiting a bit longer will never hurt. W
2) The person holding the camp cannot mislead you, or change his mind after telling you who is next. Something that no one ever does (and I will never understand why) is to specifically address the camp holder, asking who is next or if you can be next. The camp holder does need to reveal to you who the next intended camp holder is - if he doesn't, you may ask to be next and your claim will be valid unless he reveals the next person immediately. This person cannot change after the camp holder has "revealed" the next person to take the camp to you. It is an automatic forfeit if this occurs. If you ask to be the next camp holder and are told yes, the camp holder may not later retract or change this agreement and attempt to hand the camp off to someone else - it's yours once he has gotten his item or moved on from the camp.
Something else important to note about handing off camps - in particular, popular ones, but this applies to any camp that becomes contested. If you are solo camping, once you attain the item you were waiting for (an AC ring, for example) you are done camping that mob. The person coming to take the camp had better be prepared at this point in order to come eliminate the very next placeholder spawn in order to "stake his claim" on the mob. You cannot work wacky corpse lines on lore items in order to grab multiple items in the same "camp session" if there are others waiting to take the camp. Please be aware that we reserve the right to apply this same ruling to any camp if we deem it necessary, including camps with multiple players.
