Pong Report

Hello readers! I'm Zach, and I recently joined the Ping Pong Civ group. Tony and I joined in the middle of a session so we decided to play a 2-man standby match until the main game is finished. To get into the true spirit of Ping Pong Civ I figured I would do a write up of our game. It's my first time so I'm sure there will be some mistakes, but hopefully you'll enjoy the read.

A new round of Ping Pong Civ has begun!  To celebrate the release of Rise and Fall, we spent several weeks recruiting players to join the Ping Pong Table. We're thrilled to announce that there are now 5 permanent players. Joe and I will continue blogging again, but we probably won't be making the posts public until after the game ends, so check back in about two months to see how it turns out.

Join Ping-Pong Civ and play with  real,  reliable, roleplaying people who write Pong Report Want to join the next game of Ping-Pong Civ? Nate and Joe are recruiting! We play continuously, every Tuesday night, from 8-9:30p EST (-5 GMT). Diplomacy and chatter are conducted via Discord throughout the week. No quitters! We have about 2 seats available currently. Rarely missing a session is okay if you give notice. We will probably play a one-shot game with the remaining players that week. No-showing even one time is a permanent kick without a very good excuse. We play the PC edition of Civ6 with all DLC and Rise & Fall.  This  is an example of our typical game settings, but everything is negotiable. All experience levels welcome - we use difficulty settings to provide handicaps. The next game starts on Feb-13. Interested? Email ayronis@gmail.com with subject [Join Pong] and tell us a little about yourself. If there's still room, we'll send you an invite before t
