Simplify the English... -_-

Interesting game, but there a point to attempting to sound smart in the wording of some of the tasks?

An example;

The governmental broadcasting concession for terrestrial frequences of a big, tendentially right-wing private telestation, who has attracted attention in the past by antisystemic live broadcasts and even calls to revolt, is running out and the telestation has officially requested elongation.

Admittedly I had just woken up when I read that but it made my head hurt...

Additional feedback: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmess...c=40774285

Most people are in agreement there. In addition I agree with one of the poster's summary of;

The government's agreement to allow the broadcasts of a right wing station that has promoted anarchy in the past is at an end. The station wants an extension.

Yes it's simple, but it's to the point and is clear in it's meaning. I understand the game is in the early stages but that might be one particular area to look at. There's a difference between using the correct words and keeping it simple to attempting too hard to be smart and ruining the whole thing.

But don't use the term "anarchy" in this context. Anarchy and Anarchism are the total opposite of every right wing opinion.
Anarchy is order without dominion, not just a synonym for chaos.
