So Andakos just came in and ruled against me being next in the AC list, even though I was told I was next (and waited 6 hours under that assumption). It turns out, the camp owner just invited someone to his group, and now the entire group can get the AC ring first before me. Apparently they can just keep inviting new people and giving them the ring instead, and somehow that doesn't go against what Derubael says here:
https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...19&postcount=9 2) The person holding the camp cannot mislead you, or change his mind after telling you who is next. Something that no one ever does (and I will never understand why) is to specifically address the camp holder, asking who is next or if you can be next. The camp holder does need to reveal to you who the next intended camp holder is - if he doesn't, you may ask to be next and your claim will be valid unless he reveals the next person immediately. This person cannot change after the camp holder has "revealed" the next person to take the camp to you. It is an automatic forfeit if this occurs. If you ask to be the next camp holder and are told yes, the camp holder may not later retract or change this agreement and attempt to hand the camp off to someone else - it's yours once he has gotten his item or moved on from the camp. Seems to me that if anything should be covered by the Play Nice policy, it's that. And it seems to me that ruling is 100% in error. But there you go, now you have a your-mom's-vagina-sized loophole to drive your greed through. | ||

What about camps relating to XP? What are the rules here?
For example, the GY group in MM. Can they lay claim to the pit plus jail, tower, etc? Or can another group come in and take over other areas? I've seen squabbles over the raider room in Highkeep goblin area. What's to stop someone from laying claim to the 3 spawns in that room? I can't believe people can lay claim to the AC. I was always under the impression that mobs that randomly spawn like Pyzjn, Quillmane, AC were free game for people in the area and that someone couldn't lock the spawn down. I agree, server rules aren't clearly laid out and it makes it difficult to understand. | ||

Even so, the list rules have always been essentially that the person holding the camp can pass it to whomever he wants. If player A is camping AC and player B shows up here is what should happen:
I don't like the system. It is very unfair and easily cheated. Every time it has seriously been discussed it seems to come down to that this is how it was enforced in classic EQ. The guiding principal was simply that whoever has the camp can pass it to whomever he wants without regarding to anybody who has been waiting (and might even have been told) that they were on a list. TLDR: Lists are bull. If you are on a list you only get to the top if the people holding the camp aren't jerks. AC usually works out because of the nature of the camp (the named always drops the ring, the spot is hard to get to before the next PH has been up for a couple minutes)...but if someone WANTS to be a jerk you are out of luck. | |||

The big issue I have on p99 is that the built-in check to people being a dick on live was that the community was important. If you got labeled a ninja looter, KSer, trainer, etc. you were seriously jeopardizing your self on the server. One of the unintended consequences of the long-run static server is that this check has lost its bite. If you are a jerk there is no price to pay from the community. I don't know what the fix is for that (other than starting over fresh on a green server --- which would eventually develop the same situation). I wouldn't be opposed to GMs releasing all character names on a player account if the player did something egregious on the pseudo-anonymous alt. People might think a little more about ruining their reputation. | |||
