I always thought this was par for the course everywhere, taking bases if the big ice furthest from your spawn activates that is. Unless your opponents are all incompetent, you'll be the last alliance to reach it which is a terrible position to be in.

In a situation like that you get more points capping the other two outposts while those two alliances are fighting over the ice, sometimes even coming away with more points than the alliances hitting ice if they get distracted fighting each other and take a long time to kill it.
