What it does

No ability.

No ability, just Power. Sometimes that's all a homepage needs.

It costs 1 RAM to play and brings 2 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 Russian-language website of documents and court records on the 2004 school siege at Beslan, started by the journalist Marina Litvinovich.

It went up in July 2005 and published full transcripts of the trial of Nur-Pasha Kulayev, the one attacker to survive. It was hacked in November 2005, and in August 2014 users in several regions found it blocked.

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.
