Ping (n.) - A protocol that sends a message to another computer and waits for acknowledgment, often used to check if another computer on a network is reachable.

In other words it is a internet connection between you and pawngame.com If you are playing a game in pawn and your internet cant establish a good connection with the site, then your ping will be high, but if your internet connection is good with pawngame then you will have a low ping. And also you dont want TOO low of a ping, and high ping is what causes "Lag."

Important thing to remember:

HIGH PING = BAD (High Number like over 100)

LOW PING = GOOD (Lower Numbers like 60-90)
