I don’t know about you, but I just loves me some old fashioned Capture the Flag. 
Apart from the misfortune of being stuck in 2 battles with one of the biggest d**kheads I’ve ever played with, last night’s WSG marathon was a blast. I won all but 3 of the BGs I participated in, captured 9 flags, was extremely close to getting Ironman on two separate occasions, assisted another hunter in getting the achievement, and earned just shy of 1K rep with the Silverwing Sentinels. I’m making a push for Justicar, so I’ll be active in there tonight as well. I need about 6K more Silverwing rep and a Justicar I will be. 
Since the old school PvP ranks are being reintroduced in Cataclysm, I figure I could use a new title to go by in the expansion. Lieutenant Commander will probably lose some of its prestige once the new PvP system is in place and everyone is able to obtain those old ranks.
Justicar is within my grasp, as is “of the Alliance“. By the time I hit Justicar I should only be about 10K kills (give or take) short of 100k. Battlemaster is the one I’d really like to have though. I have my work cut out if I plan on going after that one however.
I honestly thought I was going to walk away with Ironman last night, but both times I was en route with my 3rd cap, practically the entire horde team converged on me and sent me to the graveyard. The first time I almost had it, they stomped me in our tunnel.
The second time I was running back with my third cap and thought for sure I was home free. I had a Druid with me and there were no horde in sight… well, for a few seconds at least. Once I hit midfield they were coming in numbers. My healer got dropped and I was taking heavy damage so I headed in to grab the first aid buff, hoping it would buy me a little time until my teammates could come escort me. Nope… No Ironman for me.
I did drop one of my caps so that another hunter on my team could get the achievement. That was my good deed for the night.
Considering I’ve never gone for that achievement before, and had no healbot with me, I’d say I did alright. It’s definitely one of the harder PvP achievements, in my opinion.
So anyway, I’ll be back in there tonight, going for broke once again. I queued as BM last night, but tonight I think I’m going to switch between BM and MM, just to break things up a bit. Hope to see you there.
Oh… and tonight will be a sober endeavor. I hit it a little hard last night. 
Anytime you see me opening comments to my own post, and especially… quoting Slayer lyrics, it’s a pretty safe bet that Gar’s getting his swerve on. I had fun though.
It’s good to blow off a little steam now and again.
