I swear the server is filled with three year olds

This guy is sitting at the two giant camp and coming over into what is widely known as a separate camp and telling me to GTFO. Does he want to take the single spawn as his camp rather than the two spawn? Nope, he wants all three. This would not have been settled with an /ooc of me saying I was taking the camp, that would have just fast forwarded his tantrum about 4-5 minutes. Fragmented is a bully, and people giving him a pass for acting like this is a large part of the reason why we can see a pattern of this behavior across the server.

I wasn't there and it's in the past, so I won't speculate about it. All I'm saying is in the future if a mob isn't up, you should assume it's not your's.

Maybe the person is at some completely different camp, half a zone away ... but even so, it's not unreasonable for someone to kill two mobs (or two camps of mobs) when no one else is killing them. Maybe there's valuable NPC X (eg. Soothsayer in Droga), and after I kill them I have nothing better to do so I go kill some less valuable NPC Y (goblin bodyguard post-nerf) while I wait.

Just because I went to kill Y (when no one else was), it doesn't mean I want to give up X. If, in order to keep X, I had to sit and wait for him to respawn (not killing anything else), that would suck.

Thus, the camp rules don't say that. In fact, they don't even matter at all until someone new shows up and communicates with the person currently doing the camp. That's on purpose: since the first person is allowed to leave mob X to kill mob Y, and thus can't know that a new person arrived, the burden is on the new person to see that X is down and thus understand that it's likely claimed.

That newcomer should assume (unless the mob is Fippy Darkpaw) that it didn't kill itself, and so when it respawns (and for a short while after) by the server rules it will be someone else's.
