What it does

No ability.

No ability, just Power. Sometimes that's all a homepage needs.

It costs 4 RAM to play and brings 8 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.

Media cards broadcast Power to your other lanes.

The site, in 1999

A Chinese-language news site based in New York, called Chinese News Net at first, that specialised in Chinese politics.

The Chinese name means "multidimensional news", and the site went by Multidimensional News in English. It was established in 1999 and was blocked in mainland China.

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.
