This sounds frickin sweet.
We should definitely use a copy of the map with bases added. That way we can blow the shit out of town and it won't matter. Consider a second server so non-players are unaffected.
As for team colors and flags... I considered everyone holding a red or blue block of wool to denote teams, but then we can't use bows. And the problem with wearing a pumpkin as a flag is that it takes a few awkward seconds to open inventory and equip it. I can see problems happening if someone makes a dash for the flag and keeps running and doesn't have the time to equip it.
So I think the best option is to suck it up and everyone pre-choose teams and switch skins to red or blue (skin-switching is super quick anyways). Flag-bearer should carry a diamond block, which you can switch-change to with mouse-wheel while running. Plus that way they can't attack, just run. Makes things interesting.
