What it does
No ability.
No ability, just Power. Sometimes that's all a homepage needs.
It costs 5 RAM to play and brings 10 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.
Institutions cards protect your side, and come back strong when you're losing.
The site, in 2005
An informal group of chemists who promote open data, open source and open standards, started in 2005 by Peter Murray-Rust and others.
Open source chemistry projects such as Avogadro, Bioclipse, Kalzium and Open Babel count themselves as part of it. It also hands out personal awards to people who have pushed those three causes forward.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
The Establishment: Governments, universities, libraries and archives. Very official.
