What it does

No ability.

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

It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 6 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

A gateway that lets you read and post to email mailing lists as if they were Usenet newsgroups, with an archive that never expires messages.

Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen, an author of the Gnus newsreader, started it in 2001. By 2012 it held 129 million messages from over 20,000 lists. Its web archive went offline in 2016.

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.
