Ya.. especially after seeing that screenshot, what a couple of fucking assholes. They were on notice that he was fixing a glitch and took the opportunity to screw him over.

Fuck you lithomagnum.

Your screenshot is broken.

Sucks to hear it. 16 hours sounds like an abnormally long time to be camping without seeing an AC.

You sure you're working the cycle correctly? (killing at 11am to get a repop at 9pm)
I made a post a while ago where he didn't spawn for 20 hours. I probably would have flipped my shit if I had lost the camp before I got him on that dude, especially since I didn't sleep 24 hours before I even got the camp. I actually had people waiting for the camp go to sleep, and log back in the next day like "you're still here?!". Anyways, that blows man. Rule lawyers will be rule lawyers. People are always looking to fuck someone else over for their own gain. It's a sad reality you will learn to live with playing here.

Thankfully we had a set of rules in place and a GM interaction insuring that the right man got the camp.

Wait, so you logged out?

Then you aren't there to claim the camp. You lost. Worse, you advertised that you were logging and practically invited someone to come and claim it.

I totally agree 100% that it was a douche-bag move for them to do it, I'm adamant about adhering to the play-nice policy but I also assume that 99% of everyone else doesn't so I do my best to keep my camp in an iron fist.
Here's a story that led to my 'fuck-you, I get mine' mentality:
I was camping the OOT AC and some newbie at sisters asked in OOC where me to buy some weapons to make his pet Dual Wield. I OOC'd back that the dwarf vendor on that island sold rusty broadswords. He tells me The dwarf is dubious and wont sell to him. I'm at AC so I /OOC tell him meet me there and I'll buy him a bagful. I kill the AC PH, /guard the pet to stand ON THE SPAWN POINT and run over to the island. I buy him a dozen swords and head back...
When I get back I find a mage with his fire pet out and parked literally on top of my Skeleton. We converse for a second. He tells me I wasn't present and my pet didn't count as claim and I was SoL.....cyclops PH pops and we both go to work...His nukes out do mine and he gets the kill. Somehow this justifies in his mind that he owns the camp. After 2 more ph pops I get fed up and leave.

Welcome to P99.... land of "Fuck You".

To add to the above:

No, I didn't petition. We all know that it would have ended in a timeout. Either way I was done camping the AC. I might as well keep my mouth shut. As Uthgaard says, EXP is bad at server select.

I think the lesson here is not to broadcast to the zone that you are leaving your camp unattended.

They are obviously raging faggots and I hope that their corpses rot and then they get death looped, but, you really fucked up by saying you were logging out. Some people would take the camp just to piss you off even if they don't want AC when you say something like that.

PH wasn't up, it's technically yours.

I'm pretty sure there is a thread/post somewhere stating that if you crash and come back before the ph you just killed respawns, the camp is still yours. If they you fail to kill the next spawn, you're out of luck.
