What it does
On reveal: +1 Power to your other cards here.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 5 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.
Social cards lift the cards around them, here and in the other lanes.
The site, in 2001
A free forum community where anyone can start a discussion forum, grown from Delphi, a US dial-up online service of the early 1980s.
Delphi began in 1981 as the Kussmaul Encyclopedia and took the Delphi name in 1983. It offered text web access in 1992, let anyone create an online community from about 1997, and is still running.
In 2001: Rob Brazell bought it this year and merged it with eHow, and the old delphi.com address was sold to the car-parts maker Delphi.
Dot-com era, 1999 to 2002. Glossy buttons, big money and a bug called Y2K. Some of these companies were worth billions for about a fortnight.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
Pixel tribute by dub3, after the 2001 page.
In the game, this pixel page loads the way it did in 2001, then plays a short scene. Want Delphi Forums in your deck? Make a free account and open some packs, or try a match first. No sign-up needed for that.
