What it does
On reveal: If an enemy card was revealed here earlier this round, +2 Power to this card.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 5 RAM to play and brings 10 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 1996
A program that writes fake postmodernist essays, with the right jargon in roughly the right places.
Andrew C. Bulhak of Monash University wrote it in 1996 with his Dada Engine, which builds random text from recursive grammars. Every reload gives a fresh essay.
Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
