Rule interpretation question..

[LevinJ]

Not intended as a rant, but this happened today and I want to know how the rules would handle this...

I enter SRO, find AC PH walking around the zone at night, kill it. Then get grief tossed at me for KSing from guy who claims he is camping the AC. My anonymous friend explains to me that the trick to making the AC spawn is to leave the PH up overnight. Basically, he tells me he is camping AC but not killing PH (or any other mobs) because that is his theory of how it spawns.

So I know that a camp is only yours if you are killing the mobs. And I know AC does require PHs to be killed to spawn. So my question is, by the rules did he have right to the camp based on his flawed strategy where he was sitting in the right spot but not actually killing PH or anything else?

Linking the rule thread with no other commentary doesn't answer my question. I explained in my post that I understand the rules, and am asking how they would be applied here in this awkward situation.

He is only "camping" it if he is sitting on the spawn point and keeping it killed.
If its running around then its not his.

Common knowledge that the SRO AC PH must be killed within a certain timeframe, otherwise it will be near impossible to spawn aside from accidently killing it when it should be.

Common knowledge does not mean everyone knows this though, but for the next time you run through -- you will.

I personally would be in favor of the dude camping the mob simply because i know how it works, and 90% of the server tends to respect the fact the SRO PH must be killed at a specific time.

The AC only has a chance to spawn at a certain time of day. That's actually how the camp works: you leave the PH alone until 10AM(?) gametime, and then there is a chance it will spawn at 8PM(?) gametime.

It wasn't me, I was the one running through the zone, not the one camping it without killing it. And while I agree with the theory of leaving it up until a certain time during daylight, this was early EQ night time when I ran through the zone and found the PH up and roaming. He told me he wasn't killing the PH at all. He also told me killing mobs that spawn near the PH will interfere with AC popping. It was just an incorrect interpretation of how AC cycle works. Thanks for answer though concerning killing vs. sitting.

yeah, this strikes me as a time where leaving it up but staying "on top" of the spawn would certainly still count

You are a fucking moron, Sir. I constantly see you posting inane shit in peoples threads. This guy is asking a completely valid question so let me just link the server Camp Rules because that way everyone will think i am funny and smart. Instead of chillin on your pedestal way up there and tossing insults down at us mere mortals you should maybe try SHUTTING THE FUCK UP.
