I was there for about 5 min and had cleared the camp about once so far ... a mage comes in KS everything ... he said he went to sellWas he able to have the camp even after leaving for 5 min?

It was your camp under the rules. If he left and it had repopped, and you were there alone long enough to kill all of the mobs, he did not clear the camp/PHs in a "reasonable" time. What exactly is "reasonable"? No real answer for that, but if you're ghoing to take a camp or challenge someone for it, you should be prepared to show that what you did was clearly "reasonable", for example: "I showed up and the mobs were down; I waited for it to be full a pop and nobody appeared, so I started clearing. I broke and cleared the camp, but when it respawned again Billy told me to get out of 'his' camp"

I was in Sk killing at gnome spires. I come by to North camp and see someone afk. If i remember correctly it was a ogre or troll. Problem was they had a mage pet who was standing guard. And the user of this mage pet was at mid. Can a person hold 2 camps? They mage at mid had a friend hold the camp by going afk at north making him have two camps. Is he allowed to do this? I confronted them about and after 10 min of not answering me (they were clearly not afk), they finally let me have the camp. Dont know what was up about that >->

The short answer is yes they can, but it might be debatable. The argument for challenging that camp is a little murky... you'd either have to claim the mage was holding two camps (he'll respond that the troll is holding the other and he's just helping) or claim that the troll is AFK camping, in which case the mage can only claim one if you're challenging them. Since the Troll isn't doing anything, and just idling, it isn't really AFK camping. I think if a GM were to rule on it, you'd be likely to win... but a GMs won't really want to intervene and you probably don't want to annoy the GMs with something super petty. This one would only go your way on the totality of the circumstances, not really due to any clear "rule".
