The Grid

http://celtruler.com/games/thegrid/

This is a beta game that needs more players and some constructive criticism. It is meant to be a web browser text-based multiplayer strategy game. It has elements of RPG, but plays similarly to a giant Risk board in that the screen is carved up into many different squares. It's very unique, but needs some suggestions. Thanks, and enjoy!

Description:

It's an elaborate system made up of row upon seemingly endless row of perfectly chiseled squares, each ruled by either a fool or master strategian.

Once you enlist into this new world, you will be transported into The Grid in the form of a single entity known only as: a square. You will rule this square - or see it ruled by another.

Upon logging in, you will notice many other squares, fighting for survival, or to spawn themselves like amoeba unto the far corners of The Grid. If your spectacles are not too foggy from the freezing air in this wondrous utopia, you will notice a command box with several different actions you can take. If this is your first time here, you may be overwhelmed by the myriad of colors and cryptic letters strewn about all over the place like some abstract painting you wanted to destroy in that dull art gallery you were taken to as a child. Fear not, however - you will notice a button labeled, "Find Me", which when clicked will highlight your shiny new square for you in a glorious yellow glow. You will notice, no doubt, 3 letters etched across the surface of your new four-sided home, spelling out pure gibberish, I'm sure, to the causal observer. But, lean closer into the grease-stained window separating your physical body from this shell of a reality, and you will see that these same 3 letters actually do carry a meaning...
