Found my first a-hole on the Blue Server

Not that I know of.

You kill mob X and you are guaranteed a camp claim on all respawns of X ... until you leave the zone, die, camp, or fail to kill the respawns when they spawn. It's pretty simple (at least for one mob; camping multiple mobs adds a bit of complexity).

I'm surprised that Loramin of all people seems to not understand the rule.

In this scenario, the Wizard seems to have killed the prior spawn and logged off. OP arrived and waited for the next spawn. That is OP's camp. If the spawn occurs and OP sits there for 10 minutes jot engaging it, THEN someone can engage it. But it is OP's camp until then.

I mean in England we form queues. It is cool and normal to respect those there before you, but I appreciate in your part of the world (wherever that is) it may be different. Even at a bar we mentally queue and defer to someone who has been waiting longer if engaged by the bartender out of order.

U FOKIN WOT M8?

In America, as in England, we form lines when it's appropriate. And we can even be a bit too passionate about them. But let's talk about bars.

At any busy American bar, no one worries about anyone else; they simply try to flag down a bartender. The bartenders decide how the "queue" works: randomly, based on wait time, serve the hotter customers first, etc.

P99 has founders, not bartenders. They could have made spawn claims work any number of different ways, or made every mob FTE, or simply allowed DPS races. It's their game and their rules ... but the rules they chose don't say "if Bob decides a minute prior to Fred that he wants to sit on a spawn point, it's now Bob's spawn".

If you go to a busy bar, and sit quietly, expecting the bartender to pick you when it's your turn, you could sit there all night without a drink. You'd think he's an asshole for not serving you, and he wouldn't even be thinking of you at all, because he was too busy dealing with customers who flagged him down (ie. followed the rules of the line).

In the PnP, please show how me where it says that sitting down in front of a spawn point (that you didn't kill) grants you exclusive ownership of the next spawn at that point.

Big difference between lines irl and lines in everquest is that you can get your ass kicked for cutting in line irl.

I got those jboots from that line on rallos zek.

What if you had video of your character doing a CC call on the camp in an empty zone?

Some of this is rules.

The PNP pretty clearly says you can't log off or leave the zone. Also if you go through the Wiki (it's much more fleshed out than the link loramin posted), it's pretty obvious that camp checks aren't actually binding. You aren't required to respond to them (imagine if you had a player on ignore, at this point he could just type cc and take your camp at will). But also players are allowed to go AFK etc.

Trust me there's been plenty of times where I do a CC, get excited that a camp is open, and then get there to discover that it's actually camped (people legit go afk for like 25 minutes while camping stuff in lower guk).

But yeah. If the guy was just afk and not logged off or in another zone, would be a different story.

My advice to the OP is either always record your gameplay or start to stream on twitch or youtube that way you always have a VOD of what actually transpired in game. Really shuts people down when they come at you with some whackness.

I think in this case its the principle more than anything.

There is no rule saying that if you do a cc in an empty zone that you get a claim on all mobs in the zone. On P99 the only way to claim a camp is to kill a mob, and until you do that, every unclaimed mob is FTE.

Exactly like the line at the movie theater, except for one thing: maybe get yo ass beat.

I recognize and acknowledge the finesse.
