So I've been training for like 1h at skele and had to do a nr2 so I was gone for like 5 mins or so and when I came back this other person was hanging on the ropes. I continued to train and he was like 'Oh btw i'm about to sell here' because apparently he took mapowner from me in the time I was on the toilet. I clarified that I had been here for a while and just came from the toilet and he continued to call me rude and that I need to learn mapowner. Shouldn't this be a question of manners? Is this suitable for someone to steal the map from me in this case? In this case there's plenty of other maps since it wasn't even peak time, but it's just about the message now and I'm confused what I'm supposed to do when someone comes up to me like that now.
Minor Infraction 5. Kill-stealing - The /mapowner command has been put into place for the reason of understanding which player in a kill-stealing altercation is in the right and which is in the wrong. The /mapowner command functions in-game to determine which character possesses ownership of the map and all contained monsters. Upon attaining ownership of a map, the owner is granted three minutes of immunity, after which the first character on the map to attack will have ownership transferred to them. If the owner attacks prior to the three minutes expiring, the three minute immunity is refreshed to the time of the attack - therefore, the owner of the map must not attack on the map for a period of three minutes before the ownership becomes claimable. This allows the owner to leave their computer for smaller purposes without allowing ownership retention over long periods of inactivity. A player who is not the map owner may still attack on the map, however, if the owner of the map decides to ask the player to leave, they must comply at the risk of consequence by this rule, regardless of any past agreements. There's no such thing as "stealing" maps in royals. The best you can do is cc to find another empty map.
If you are gone longer than 3 minutes after your last hit and someone else comes and takes over ownership, yeah then you have to look for another channel if the owner asks you to ^^
You can't report someone who took map ownership from you if you have lost it during the time that you were away. It's really up to them whether they want to return the map to you or not but that's another question because the map is theirs to keep once you've been afk for 3 mins or more. They have no obligation to return the map to you. I would personally return the map to a person if they need it more than I do but that's just me Try not to be afk for too long and if you want to keep map ownership, just jump down from a rope and hit something once then you can resume doing whatever it is that you're doing. You will lose map ownership if you don't hit anything in a span of 3 minutes.
