Calling camps when not physically at or near said camp is its own can of worms. If I zone in somewhere and something's open and I get into combat, some guy walks along and claims it was "his," how am I supposed to know whether he was really working the camp vs. him being full of crap? I've seen people try pulling that even in zones that had been entirely empty except for myself for over half an hour. I've seen players or even groups claim camps they weren't at and never even reached over periods of hours.
In general P99's rulebook suffers from 15 years of bloat, exceptions, and sometimes contradictory rulings. GM Medris is making a clean-up effort, so hopefully it can proceed and slim things down to more manageable levels. A completely new, current P99 camp rules post not compromised by a decade-plus of revisions and edits would be most welcome.
