What it does
On reveal: -2 Power to the strongest enemy card here.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 3 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 2002
An internet resource on modern and historic flags, run as an association, with readers sending in contributions by mailing list.
Giuseppe Bottasini, a computer engineer from Milan, started the website in 1995. Its flag images are GIFs 216 pixels high, a height chosen because it divides neatly into many different numbers of stripes.
In 2002: Had joined the International Federation of Vexillological Associations the year before.
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.
