What would happen if you were orbiting earth near the speed of light and played an online game with somebody that is stationary on earth?

Maybe you should reach the concept of escape velocity.

That wouldn't be an 'orbit', orbital speeds are determined by gravity.
You could fly in circles around a planet or any arbitrary point in space if you were thrusting continually.

Doppler effect would cause the signal frequency to rise and fall as you approach and move away from the source. The system would probably need software / hardware to adjust for the changes.
Time dilation would probably cause some weird effects.

Your 'orbit' would probably be at negative altitude above ground.

The person on earth would quickly get bored of you because of how slow you are.
