While it may be fine to have poor spelling and grammer in Usenet I'd
hesitate to offer this up on a website looking for subscribers:

"CityStates is a political strategy game you play from your browser. Each
state consists of a set of articles, links, a main page, and private and
public message boards. The private boards are usable only by citizens of a
state, while the public boards are veiwable to all visitors. The goal of a
state's links, articles, and public boards is the attract outside visitors
who may generate revenue by clicking adds. Decesions such as where to place
adds, the content of the message boards, and the income tax rate, make up
the political aspect of the game. Players can raise armies, engage in
battle, hold state powers, and much more."

Not a very good representation of your game now is it?
