What it does
On reveal: A random card in your hand costs 2 less.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 4 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 1999
A community site where readers wrote and voted on the articles, founded by Rusty Foster and inspired by Slashdot.
The name is read as "corrosion". Submitted stories sat in a queue until members voted them up or down. Membership reached the tens of thousands around 2005. It closed on 1 May 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.
