What it does
Ongoing: If you're losing here, +3 Power to this card.
Ongoing is always on while the card is in play.
It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 2 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 2008
A site of spoken pronunciations, where users record and rate how words sound in many languages.
Every clip is recorded by a user and voted on by others, and volunteer editors review them. Forvo Media SL runs it from San Sebastián, Spain, and the site claims to be the biggest pronunciation guide online.
In 2008: Opened this year, after co-founder Israel Rondón first thought of it in 2007. Recordings were shared under a Creative Commons licence.
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.
Pixel tribute by dub3, after the 2008 page.
