So first off, I don't mean to dogpile on you. Not every new player reads the play nice policies and commits them to memory. People make mistakes, and as long as no harm was intended and they learn from their mistake ... no harm no foul.

But I want to point something out about:

Very few mobs (like the famous Sarnak Courier or Fippy Darkpaw) commit suicide. Less than 0.01% of the named mobs on the server I'd guess.

So by definition, if you see a mob not up, that has to mean the mob was killed by another player. And if you do read the Play Nice Policies, it's clear that (emphasis added):

Quote:
In general, if the placeholder or placeholders for a spawn are being killed, that 'camp' can be considered held by the player doing the killing so long as they are keeping the placeholders (or the room if there are no placeholders) cleared, within the same zone, do not die or log off. You do not necessarily need to be at the spawn point to call it 'claimed' while it is uncontested ...
So, ignorance of the server rules is a reasonable excuse, but once you're aware of them there should be zero confusion: if a mob isn't up when you arrive, and you are not alone in the zone, that mob isn't your's.
