Must maintain kill force, and presence at the camp while clearing placeholders.

I think it's a little more nuanced than that. Let's say you're killing the Soothsayer in Droga, and there's no one in the zone, so you go kill some mobs around the corner, or maybe you even run over to the Chief camp. The Soothsayer has a 22 min timer, so you think you have time, but you leave late and miscalculate so the Soothsayer spawns just before you get back ... and at that moment someone logs in at the Soothsayer camp. They're staring at the Soothsayer and they don't see anyone nearby: you lose the camp right?
Based on the various GM reports in this forum I don't think that's how they would rule: I think they'd say you get to keep your camp. The alternative would be to say that even in an empty zone you must stay within a few feet of a camp at all times or else risk losing it, and that seems kinda silly.
If the second player killed your Soothsayer I don't think they'd punish him (sure they could have CCed, but that's not a requirement, so it's not really their fault), but they wouldn't give your camp to him. In other words, if you make a good faith effort and take reasonable steps to keep your camp, I don't think the staff will take it from you, even if you happen to step away at the moment the mob spawns and someone else snipes it.
Or at least that's how I understand it ... any young lawyers out there care to correct me?
