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.
Social cards lift the cards around them, here and in the other lanes.
The site, in 1999
Indonesia's biggest internet forum, with more than twenty regional and topic sub-forums; its name shortens 'kasak-kusuk', meaning whispers.
PC Magazine Indonesia named it the best site and largest online community in 2005. It passed a million users in 2008, and by 2014 it had more than 25 million unique users.
In 1999: Started on 6 November in Seattle by Indonesian students, as an informal forum for Indonesians studying abroad.
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.
