Just recently I suggested an idea during a capture the flag battleground which I thought was smart yet everyone else hammered me for...

When time runs out, in the event of a tie the rules of the game state that the team that captured the flag last would win. Therefore if team 'A' captured 1st and then team 'B' captures 2nd the score would be even 1/1 but team 'B' would be winning...

Now the game I was in had little time left, about 3 minutes, not really enough time for 2 more captures (it takes 3 captures to win). I was in team 'B' and I had the flag, I could have captured it to earn a 1/2 score however I suggested that it wouldn't make any difference this late in the game if i capped or not since regardless if I capped or not we would still win as long as we prevented the other team from scoring. Even if I capped and got a score of 1/2, if the other team caps after then the score would be 2/2 and they win (since they capped last). However, if I hold onto the flag the other team has to return the flag before they can cap making it harder for them... (and of course near the end I would make the cap for the honor points)
Also if both their flag and our flag were taken then still regardless of if the score was 1/1 or 1/2 we would lose if the other team returns their flag and caps.

I thought this was a smart idea yet everyone else went crazy over it... Am I missing something? Can you give me you opinion on this!
