Um. The FAQ you posted is not, in the sense of Usenet, an FAQ. FAQs are
intended to answer, well, Frequently Asked Questions in newsgroups.
They are not intended to be complete works of art on a given newsgroup
subject. I checked in Deja News and except for posts in this thread,
found only a few posts about your game in the last year. An FAQ is
hardly needed.

Yours is a set of answers to the questions _you_ get frequently
asked. Fine. Put it on a web site and post, on an occasional basis, a
pointer to it. Commercial use of newsgroups is, in absence of any
specific charter guidelines, restricted to a short post every 6 to 8 weeks.
Anything more is net abuse.

The current FAQs posted by two different people would seem to be a good
place to start. Write a 2 to 3 line blurb about your game and an email
and/or web site address. Ask politely and it will probably be included.
