Pamila has really turned into something else. He used to be a cool dude, then green hit and hes acts like this. What a guy.

This is against the rules, if you ask to take a camp the person must immediately tell you who they want to hand it off to, if they do not have another person in mind then you are next for that camp:

Nothing against the rules shown in the screenshots have been shown. I'm sure if OP had been told he was next for camp, it would have found its way into the screenshots.

Then you didn't read the rules.

If A has camp and B wants camp then either:

A must tell B the exact name of who is next

OR

B is next.

A (Pamila) did not name a specific name and instead tried to find a buyer for the camp, therefore B was next.

The question is if asking when someone is done with the camp qualifies as saying "i want to be next for the camp is no one else is waiting". Keep in mind, , you can always say "no i'm not telling when i'm done with them camp".

Now, if he had said "I want to be next for the camp if no one else is waiting". you cant get out of that one.

It's hairsplitting, of course, but that is exactly the hallmark of elf lawyering.

"no I'm not telling when I'm done" is allowed, sure.

But also the group is killing his PHers for him, and your argument is that they were too vague about their intentions to take the camp?

Sure is a dick move but not against the rules. A guy like that will stay there out of spite until he passes out before giving over the camp if his goal is to be paid for the rights.

Once you have their money ... never give it back.
Never pay more for an acquisition than you have to.
Never allow family to stand in the way of opportunity.
A man is only worth the sum of his possessions.
Small print leads to large risk.
Opportunity plus instinct equals profit.
Greed is eternal.
Anything worth doing is worth doing for money.
A deal is a deal ... until a better one comes along.
A contract is a contract is a contract
A elf without profit is no elf at all.
Satisfaction is not guaranteed.
Never place friendship above profit.
A wise man can hear profit in the wind.
Nothing is more important than your health--except for your money.
There's nothing more dangerous than an honest businessman.
Never make fun of an elfs mother ... insult something he cares about instead.
It never hurts to suck up to the boss.
War is good for business.
Peace is good for business.
She can touch your pointy ears but never your platinum.
Profit is its own reward.
Never confuse wisdom with luck.
Expand, or die.
Don't trust an elf wearing a better breastplate than your own.
The bigger the smile, the sharper the knife.
Females and finance don't mix.
Never ask when you can take.
Good customers are as rare as platinum -- treasure them.
There is no substitute for success.
Free advice is seldom cheap.
Keep your lies consistent.
The riskier the road, the greater the profit.
Win or lose, there's always Halfling jum jum.
Home is where the heart is ... but the Odus are made of platinum.
Every once in a while, declare peace. It confuses the hell out of your enemies.
Beware of the High Elf greed for knowledge.
The flimsier the product, the higher the price.
Never let the competition know what you're thinking.
Ask not what your profits can do for you, but what you can do for your profits.
Females and finances don't mix.
Enough ... is never enough.
Every Elf has his price.
Trust is the biggest liability of all.
Nature decays, but platinum lasts forever.
Sleep can interfere with profit.
Faith moves mountains ... of inventory.
There is no honour in poverty.
Dignity and an empty sack is worth the sack.
Treat people in your debt like family ... exploit them.
Never have sex with the boss's sister.
Always have sex with the boss.
You can't free a fish from water.
Everything is for sale, even friendship.
Even a blind man can recognize the glow of platinum.
You can't make a deal if you're dead.
Wives serve, brothers inherit.
Only fools pay retail.
There's nothing wrong with charity ... as long as it winds up in your pocket.
Even in the worst of times someone turns a profit.
Whisper your way to success.
Know your enemies ... but do business with them always.
Not even dishonesty can tarnish the shine of profit.
Let others keep their reputation. You keep their money.
Hear all, trust nothing.
Never cheat a Halfling ... unless you're sure you can get away with it.
It's always good business to know about new customers before they walk in the door.
The justification for profit is profit.
New customers are like Wood Elves. They can be succulent, but sometimes they can bite back.
Sometimes the only thing more dangerous than a question is an answer.
Employees are rungs on the ladder of success. Don't hesitate to step on them.
Never begin a negotiation on an empty stomach.
You can't free a fish from water.
Always know what you're buying.
Beware the man who doesn't make time for Short Beer.
platinum lasts longer than lust.
You can't buy fate.
Never be afraid to mislabel a product.
More is good ... all is better.
A wife is a luxury ... a smart accountant is a necessity.
A wealthy man can afford anything except a conscience.
Never allow doubt to tarnish your lust for platinum.
When in doubt, lie.
Deep down everyone's a Halfling.
No good deed ever goes unpunished.

I've heard of selling loot rights, but selling rights to camp something? Really?

No rule against it.

And you know what they say. Money talks, you walk.
