Why camp?

[StarsMine]

Its never been changed
The rule has always been
NO excessive camping. It was admins misinterpreting the rules as no camping whatsoever.

Well there certainly is a lot of excessive camping going on, and it seems like the admins are too afraid to punish for it due to one admin actually slaying a camper then I forget if they were warned that their admin privileges would be revoked or something. But people camp, no one does anything about it, and it is really annoying, especially when they camp their own spawn.

Odd, I dont remember hearing of that. A slay would not cause one to lose their powers even if it was classified as Abuse. The person who lost his powers must have been doing constant abuse.

They didn't lose it, but they said they were warned (i think) and then that is what caused the camping rule to be changed for the worse. All I know is that there is a lot more camping going on then before, so I camp just because I can, but I don't like doing it. And on churches, people camping their own church, no slaying or warnings of that.

People can camp. They always have been allowed. When it hold's up the round and they aren't doing anything is when it becomes a problem. There's a difference between camping for annoyance and camping "strategically".

It's funny how the rule says no excessive camping. I would consider staying in your spawn to camp excessive. And this is gungame, not regular, so there is no reason to camp at all. Even if you have the scout, rush in with it and use it as a normal rifle, it's still very accurate. And all camping is annoying, so are the people that tell the ones that keep getting killed by campers

'well if you know they are there every round, then they should be easy to kill'

no, it is not easy, they have the better position, and camping the same spot every round is also excessive.

if i remember correctly zero exact rule was if camping delays the game then admins have to right to do what they feel need to keep the game at a contant pace....... so for me usually after about a 30 sec to a min pass with less players and some begins to camping and waiting for long periods making it hard to find each other I would take action.

course everyone knows how people yell camper if the other guy shot them while standing still. Its always been a judgement call long as the gamie is staying a a constant pace and not dragging out the time camping is fine and accepted
