What it does
On reveal: If you already have another Creators card here, +3 Power to this card.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 4 RAM to play and brings 7 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.
Creators cards are strongest on their own, and some only get going late.
The site, in 2001
A do-it-yourself guide to building a magnetic anomaly detector at home, billed as a UFO detector.
The idea is that anything strange passing nearby might disturb the magnetic field. The compass version has you watch the needle for erratic swings, once magnets and metal are ruled out. The address now redirects to a maker of UFO detector kits.
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 Weird Web: One page, one joke, no reason. The internet at its best.
Pixel tribute by dub3, after the 2001 page.
