the inconsitency arises from not all states being described properly. btw awesome post candles, thanks.
Just make flags capture faster with more people on them like: People needed to capture flag: 4. 1 people at the flag = 1/4th the speed. 2 people at the flag = 2/4th the speed. 3 people at the flag = 3/4th the speed. 4 people at the flag = 4/4th the speed. And make the flags ping or show something that they are in a state of being captured so that teams can react.
