23. "Base camping" is defined as purposefully waiting outside of the opposing faction's base to kill those that leave. The elapsed time from the victim leaving the base to being killed and the distance traveled does not matter. Your intentions do. (Stalking, following and camping exits will be considered base camping if they're relatively close to the base or AOS zone.)
