If its that big of a deal, people should be sitting single file near the camp to reserve their spot.

I bet you have a lot of friends IRL

So you would rather people line up behind you at the camp and sit there until you are done instead of taking 15 seconds to type their name into a /say macro and hit the button when someone asks about a list?

Seems like a total d-bag move in my book if you think typing out a name or two is playing secretary.

Well when half the people asking to be in the list are permanently in Anon/role since they can't be bothered to respond to tell requests for ports, rezzes, or camp checks... I don't blame him.

Being perma Anon/role is much more of a d-bag move :/. Down with Anon/role.

I have a few.

Let's translate this to real life.

I'm at a sports bar, watching a big game. I have a nice seat right at the bar - enjoying some guy time while my family is out.

Dude comes up behind me, "hey man, mind holding that seat for me when you leave?"

Me, "Sure, I can do that"

5 mins later, hey bro, can i have your seat when your done?
Me, "I mean, there is someone else waiting, I guess if he isn't around I'll search for you..

10 mins later, 3rd guy wants my seat, asks the same thing.

Why the fuck would I want to end my evening searching for guys who probably have already found another seat? Like I said, I'll ask the original, but don't expect further than that. Not my responsibility.

Granted that scenario most likely wouldn't happen, but same principle.

It's awesome that people don't have this sense of entitlement IRL.

rofl, think of it as a, 'holding the door instead of letting it slam into someones face' type of thing and you'll realize that a teeeeeny tiny bit of effort is not an entitlement.. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I actually agree with you on this point. Here's my take on it though...

The person holding the camp just has to begin list... the people ON the list should be the ones responsible for keeping track of their place in line and the person who comes after them. An example, heres a hypothetical list:

1. Person A
2. Person B
3. Person C
4. Person D

Person A is responsible for letting B know when the camp is open.

Person B is responsible for letting anyone who asks know that Person C is on the list after him.

Person C is responsible for letting anyone know that Person D is after him.

The list still exists but no one person is responsible for maintaining it beyond the person who comes after him.

If I get to the camp and I ask Person B if there is anyone waiting after them, and they tell me something like "Yeah but I can't give you a name," I just assume they are a greedy d-bag that is waiting to see if his 6th cousin is going to log on randomly at the last minute so he can swoop in and take over the camp without having to wait for it.

That is not unreasonable

Jeez, this shit gets out of hand quick. I don't go to any length to keep a 'list' and I won't in the future beyond one person. Unless you're the first person camped out at the spawn and to send me a tell (or are waiting), you'll get the response 'someone is already waiting' and maybe you'll get their name so you can communicate with them in the future. Not going further than that. If that person is not online when I'm done, I'll log out and camp is FTE. I'm not your PH.

I think you skimmed over my post too quickly. That is exactly what I was suggesting--you are only responsible for keeping the one name that comes after you.
