Mob Camping Rules

[Frieza_Prexus]

I respect your reasoning, however my key point lies in Rogean making a specific statement in regards to the looting being an individual versus raid level offense.

I mentioned earlier that you could limit the context of his post to that of a raid situation, but I explained why I felt it was more generally applicable.

Ultimately, my main point is that here the specific rule will override the general. Even if there are holes in the general rules, it seems to me that Rogean's statement applies more specifically here than any other statement or rule. Even if the specific did not override the general, there is precedent value in what he said. In effect, he has overturned any conflicting rules.

I chuckled at your comment about the Supreme Court, but here it is not only Rogean's province to say what the law is, he also gets to say what it should be. It simply, for the previous reasons, seems clear to me that he intended the law be as I have stated it.

My argument becomes a strawman only if there is a difference between raids and groups (or the individual). I submit that there is no difference at all in the ownership of loot rights.

The definition of ninja looting on live, while possibly helpful for context, is ultimately not much use here I believe. Rogean defined it as taking anything you've not be assigned rights to (albeit within a raid context: See above that I do not differentiate on this context).

I rebut the dropped bag analogy because it has been explicitly recognized by the authorities as "at your own risk."

You do have a point in that we don't know what the law is or will be until an authority has clearly spoken on it. I believe that has occurred, but I recognize that there are contextual questions lingering for some thus dampening the "iron-cladness" of the statement.

BONUS: Amelinda ruled Perun's CT ninja looting as a raid offense. Rogean, as far as we know, did not rule on it. Did the Appeals Circuit of Amelinda rule correctly? Does the refusal to grant certiorari by the Supreme Court of Rogean indicate a new direction for P99 law? If the Supreme Court of Rogean endorses this view, what is the current state of the law outside the Amelinda Circuit? Whatever will the Ambrotos and Bort Jurisdictions do in light of this? Finally, what does Anthony "Nilbog" Kennedy have to say about all of this? STAY TUNED.
