Question about lists for camps

Now we're getting pedantic. You said, literally "lists aren't really binding on P99." But, again literally, they are. And I have a quote from a GM saying as much.

Saying that people can choose not to make a list and just give the camp to their friend is entirely beside the point, because we weren't talking about giving camps to friends. The title of the thread is "Question about lists for camps".

You also claimed "Only the person camping the mob can decide to honor the list or not." Again, this just isn't true. Yes someone can avoid having a list in the first place, but IF they start a list and tell another player that they're on it, they are obligated (by the server rules, which a GM will enforce) to hand the camp over to them.

The only true thing you claimed was "Even if they honor the list but decide to leave/log before the next person arrives, someone else can come swoop in and snag the camp under you", and even that's misleading because it's very rare for someone to have a camp, start a list, tell another player they're next on the list, then suddenly disappear, and then someone else is waiting right at the spawn point, sees that happen, and takes the spawn. In that incredibly rare circumstance yes someone could "cut ahead" of you in line, but that's not at all the same thing as saying lists don't matter here.

It really feels to me like you read that one thread about lists that happened a few weeks ago, didn't get to the end of it, didn't understand the rules in the first place, and are now convinced you know everything about P99 rules regarding lists ... even when what you "know" is directly contradicted by GM quotes.
