What it does
No ability.
No ability, just Power. Sometimes that's all a homepage needs.
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 1998
A coalition of web developers who campaigned for browser makers to support W3C standards, so one page would work in every browser.
George Olsen, Glenn Davis and Jeffrey Zeldman founded it in August 1998. By 2001 it had persuaded Microsoft, Netscape and Opera to support HTML 4.01, CSS1 and ECMAScript; it released the Acid2 test in 2005 and disbanded in 2013.
In 1998: Founded in August as a grassroots coalition fighting for standards in browsers.
Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.
The Establishment: Governments, universities, libraries and archives. Very official.
