-          To join the game, type your own name below. Also, choose the
-          name of a character that you want to play as. This can be
-          anyone (real or fictional) that everyone playing the game
-          would be likely to know, (for example "Albert Einstein" or
-          "Harry Potter").
+          This can be anyone (real or fictional), but should be
+          someone that all players of the game are familiar with.

-          Note: After you have joined the game, another player can use
-          this same device to join the game as well.
+          Hint: Choosing an ideal character name is the key to doing
+          well in Empires. You definitely don't want a character that
+          everyone will know that only you would have chosen.
