Field notes
The site frames ownership as a contest over a single virtual patch, with a flag name, color, and optional inscription forming each claim. Its history records the latest 100 takes, while the visible warm-up sequence contains 23 staged entries marked as pre-launch tests rather than purchases. The page also warns that a successful hold may last less than a second, making scarcity and turnover part of the joke.
