Turtle (battleground)

A turtle in a battleground is when the defenses in the game are so great and the offense is weak(or in some cases equal to the defense) that a stalemate occurs. These types of games are most prominent in Warsong Gulch where an entire team will gather around there flag. Turtles can also happen in Alterac Valley but a recent change in the battleground has a kill limit to avoid extended games. Turtles usually take a very long time to finish, often in hours.
