What it does
On reveal: -2 Power to the strongest enemy card here.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 5 RAM to play and brings 9 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 website for analysis and discussion of energy and its effect on society, with a focus on peak oil.
Two professors, Kyle Saunders and Dave Summers, started it in March 2005. It first drew attention with its coverage of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. It stopped publishing in 2013 and remains as an archive.
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.
