What it does
On reveal: -2 Power to the strongest enemy card here.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 4 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 2008
A free peer-to-peer file sharing program for Windows, Mac and Linux, made by Mark Gorton's company in New York.
Released in May 2000, it was ordered to stop file sharing by a US federal court on 26 October 2010. The record industry first suggested damages of $72 trillion, then settled for $105 million.
In 2008: A trojan that exploited a flaw in Apple Remote Desktop spread through LimeWire to Mac users in mid-2008.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
Dead Links: Gone, but not forgotten. Mostly forgotten.
