What it does

On reveal: +2 Power to a random card in your hand.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 1 RAM to play and brings 1 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.

Search cards grow with the friends in their lane, and some draw you cards.

The site, in 2009

A wiki, written by volunteers known as Tropers, cataloguing recurring storytelling devices and examples from films, TV, games and books.

It began with Buffy the Vampire Slayer and grew to cover almost any medium, with no notability rule for the works it lists. Its founder sold it in 2014, and the new owners ran a Kickstarter to rebuild it.

In 2009: Now covering all kinds of media rather than just TV. Its content had been under a free licence since April 2008.

Modern era, 2009 on. Phones, feeds and cookie banners. The web got fast, flat and very sure about notifications.

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
