What it does
On reveal: -2 Power to the strongest enemy card here.
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 2005
A site from the UK charity mySociety where you could make a pledge that only counts if enough other people join in.
One pledge, for digital rights in the UK, led to the Open Rights Group. It launched on 13 June 2005, won a New Statesman New Media award in 2006, and mySociety retired it in 2015.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
