Rocket camping as a long-term strategy.

To those with access to relevant things, this very recent match has a satisfying amounts of "AAAAAAH!"s "NOOOOOOO!"s going on throughout, while perhaps being more than a little long.
Following from a previous question on game ethics, and someone thinking people should be more open about their dirty moves, I'll talk about mine.
My approach to the Heart of Chaos map is this:
Capture all of the turrets on both enemy islands.
Slowly mass on all three islands while the other two kill each other to get all that fuel I'm about to burn for them.
Grab power ups and use them to limit how much pumping can be done at all, i.e. pray for ants nests and eggs.
Grab the pumps.
Reinforce.
Basically, I deal with the biggest problem to come up and solve it first, then deal with the rest at my own happy pace. The most rewarding part of doing this comes up when both teams come up with the idea of playing the game like it's assault as attacker and start going hell for leather against my pyrotechnical divisions.
Opinions? No one's complained about it so far, so I thought I'd give the forums a chance.
