We had 3 matches on the first night, a group of Lurkers and Carpe Aurum members combined. None of us were that experienced in PvP except for Skan, and we didn't really know what to expect. Of course, the first 2 times we fought the biggest Horde guild (probably biggest on both sides) on Stormrage - Blood of the Horde. They crushed us the first game, while we were busy getting annoyed by error messages from AddOns. They charged all in, right away, and just beat the crap out of us.
The second game didn't fare much better, though we got rid of the errors and started showing some coordination. The third, we'd finally learned our lesson - I don't think we're ever going to truly "defend" our flag again. We went full force out, met up with the opposing side on the battlefield, and fought to kill them and push our way to their base. We simply overwhelmed them with numbers, and used it to push to their flag and come back nearly untouched.
Of course, they managed to sneak in and grab our flag at the mean time. But we were better grouped and managed to kill their flag bearer, return our flag, and turn in theirs. From here it was simple rinse and repeat, though we started to get spread thin later on. Was it reckless that we let them have our flag so easily? Yes. But when it came time to finish the game, it worked perfectly.
We had their flag for awhile, and they had ours. After some fights and returns, it finally ended up with us in our base with their flag. They had a Rogue with our flag sitting waiting to turn it in. I had stalked this Rogue back to their base, and when Darian said "I'm here waiting," I went all out and started attacking. A warrior, a hunter, and a warlock all came to help, but I simply did everything I could to kill their carrier. Rogue down, click the flag, and I die. But we win :)
Unfortunately, my death is what I think caused a bug where I didn't get the talisman for winning. Thanks Blizzard, my death only allowed our team to turn in the final flag.

Trade yourself in for the perfect one. No one needs to know that you feel you've been ruined!
