RFCTF scoreboard interface is non-obvious as to global vs personal flag capture #7

https://scoreboard.rfhackers.com/?wtf=scoreboard is a global score board. The flag status display indicates if a flag has been captured by anybody. https://scoreboard.rfhackers.com/?pita=BLAH is a personal score board, and indicates that a flag has been captured by you, personally.

The confusion comes in that they are rendered identically, but with very different information.

Also, I don't seem to be able to find a score board that indicates what my current team has captured. Nor did I stumble over how team scoring works.

Updating the verbage in the global scoreboard, replacing with "Taken" with "Somebody got it." and "NOT Taken" with "Nobody found it yet." would help. Extending this, you could replace the verbage in the personal score board with "You got it." and "You have not got it.". This would make it more clear what these two displays are for.

A further alternate choice would be to on the personal score board, show both, or all 3 columns of data, "Someone Got it.", "A team mate got it.", and "you've got it."
