{{w|Capture the flag}} (CTF) is a common way of playing games where the objective is to capture the opponent's flag while protecting your own team's flag. This comic describes a CTF server that [[Cueball]]  joins for an online war game which has the basic plot premise that after the bloodshed of the overthrow of the kingdom's old order, and its signing of peace accords with the leader's of the narrator's realm, peace has become a reality, and not just a dream unendingly deferred. Therefore, no one is trying to capture the opponent's flag, which according to the storyline flies over the kingdom's embassy in the narrator's country, as to ensure peace, therefore making the game unexciting and pointless, as Cueball says in the last panel.

The title text refers to the line of flags in front of UN buildings, which includes the flag of almost every country internationally recognized. If such an organisation and therefore a collection of flags of all the teams were established on the server, which seems the logical conclusion of the goal of achieving peace, one could get a very high score by rebelling against their nation and quickly capturing all of the opposing flags, getting a {{Wiktionary|kajillion}} points, which is slang for "an unspecified large number."
