What it does
On reveal: -3 Power to the strongest enemy card here.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 6 RAM to play and brings 11 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.
Tech cards bend the rules: more RAM, cheaper cards and patches that weaken the other side.
The site, in 1997
A parody site by Dino Ignacio that 'proved' Sesame Street's Bert was up to no good, using doctored pictures of him with notorious figures.
It won the 1998 Webby Award and People's Voice Award for Best Weird Website. That summer its fame made it too costly to run, so Ignacio invited anyone to host a mirror, and dozens did.
Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
