Question about item camp handoffs

[Prodigal]

GMs aren't even consistent. I went down to Frenzy not long ago and saw a necro's corpse. /who all deadnecro... not in zone. Cool, my camp, right? Not so fast. Dead necro was zoning back in (apparently he had bound nearby). Came in looted his corpse, besides the FBSS he had on it. Said it was his camp. So I /petitioned. GM comes to the rescue. Not so fast. Necro's guildie comes to camp. GM says necro never left the zone. His camp. Me: WTF? He wasn't in zone. GM: Logs dont show that. What about FBSS? He's trying to double up. GM: Its his guildies camp.

Such worthless bs.

Well now you have a thread you can point them to.

Is anybody else completely boggled that Deru basically just wrote up a whole new set of rules?

Can we get an official ruling? Is Deru's forum post the law of the land now?

It is hard to believe that Deru has the authority to make such huge, sweeping changes to the rules of the server without checking with the big shots...

I am not sure if you have noticed, but Nilbog and Rogean have been very hands off this year. Seems like Sirk and Deru are running the show.

As to the new rules: doesn't matter how good the rules or how clearly they are stated someone is going to cry. Besides, not much of this is going to be honored when winter hits and we all become mangy starved wolves for those nerf camps.

Okie. You guys really took my lack of respect for lines to heart and maybe I should clarify exactly what my problem with them is. There's a running theme in all of your posts that suggests a hypothetical guy walking up. Every single time I've camped the AC, I've gotten tells from people out of zone asking who was camping it and to be put in line. I ignore those line requests, simply because I have ALOT more sympathy for the random guy who did literally walk up, SPEAK with me, and wait with me until my spawn drops what I'm camping. That's who I will generally pass my camp off to, even if I would prefer to keep it with guildies. The guy exping in a different zone waiting for his camp to be served, sorry. It's not my responsibility to track you down.

I usually ignore people asking about them, because i camp till I'm done and when I'm done I generally ask guild if they would like to take before I give it to a random. Doing it wrong huh?

This is the way I (and nearly everyone I know on the server) have done it--minus the part about having someone in mind to pass off camp from the very beginning.

As a qualification, if some newbie is asking when I'm going to be done (which is usually the question), my answer is nearly always until I get it. Then, they ask to be notified when I leave. Then when I leave, I do /who all newbie. If he/she's not online, then I offer to a guildie. But I have never even considered who I might pass my camp off to when I sit down to kill my first placeholder.

Agree with this too.

Yeah, I have noticed it is rare to even see a post anymore by either one of them. Hope they are busy with Velious work. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] But they do deserve a break. I am sure they are pretty burnt out from all the work they had to do in the beginning.

Issue: Fake lists of 200 people.

Proposed solution: In order to be on a list your name must be given by the current camp holder immediately upon request and EITHER : (a) be at the computer and able to send a tell to/respond to tells from the person asking to be on the list informing them that you are next on the list; or (b) be afk (well you don't have to afk) at the camp.

No way to have a guy just say "Sally has next, then Mike, then Jimmo". The new-comer would be able to verify that those people are on the list and watch their activity.

I'm happy to hear how stupid I am [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

How about a don't be a Dick/Neckbeard rule.

Get your drop, leave the camp. You want to get another, come back another time. Don't hold down the camp after getting your Fungi or Hiero to corpse 5 more.

**Exception being if you're grouped, stay til everyone gets 1 of what you want, then leave. No one likes the guy who gets good loot and immediately goes. Which I will revert to my "don't be a dick" clause.

GMs just need to start death touching or hiding corpses of people who are monopolizing camps for days, never leaving, corpsing many items, etc.
