TBG Ping-Pong

[Tymewalk]

You know how ping pong is a game where the ball has a tendency to go faster and faster? This is sort of like that.

You can join either Team A or Team B. Whoever serves the "ball" hits it first. Once the ball is hit by one team, the other team has to hit it back within a certain amount of time.

The time starts at 8 days, and is divided in half every hit. (I was going to do one week but the times don't line up, so you get a nice clean power of 2 instead.) So if the ball is served by Team A, Team B has one week to hit it, then Team A has 3 and a half days, etc, etc...

List of Times
- 8 days
- 4 days
- 2 days
- 1 day
- 12 hours
- 6 hours
- 3 hours
- 1 hour 30 minutes
- 45 minutes
- 22 minutes 30 seconds
- 11 minutes 15 seconds
etc...

If the other team doesn't hit the ball in time, your team scores a point! To score a point, the other team has to hit the ball at least once - just serving it and having the other team miss doesn't count.

Whichever team drops the ball serves next.

As an example: A serves (8 days), B hits (4 days), A hits (2 days), B misses (nobody on Team B posted within 2 days). A scores a point, B serves next.

Whoever posts next serves, and the timer starts from that post.

Fun fact, there's something called temporal resolution, how small do we subdivide before it makes no sense
