Hi. Sounds like a fun game, but it has to have a level of notability. You might wish to take a look at WP:MADEUP to see what I mean. Have fun! --PMDrive1061 (talk) 01:40, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The only relevant Google hit back to this game, or at least your version of it, is your article. Please don't recreate it. Thanks. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 01:43, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, DC. This simply doesn't ring the bell. I appreciate your enthusiasm, but I'm afraid this isn't the way to channel it. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 02:03, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Again, I appreciate your enthusiasm, but two coincidental Google hits still don't make this notable.

Of course, you could always create a userpage for yourself and put the rules there as a small part of the page...but you didn't hear that from me.  :) --PMDrive1061 (talk) 02:11, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nope; Facebook isn't considered a third-party source. Nice try, though. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 03:27, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nope again.  :) Sneak a peek at WP:NOTABILITY to see what I mean. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 03:35, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No sweat:

The Blowdart Game is a game in which players use an imaginary blowdart gun (consisting of a player holding their hands to their mouth like a blowdart gun) to blow a dart at another player (the victim). Once hit with the imaginary dart, the victim must immediately feign as if they have feinted (usually falling straight to the ground) and cannot speak or move until another player removes the imaginary dart from the victim's neck.

[[File:

]]

Rules[edit]

The rules of the game are as follows:

  • A player is only considered hit with the dart if he makes eye-contact with the shooter while the shooter is shooting
  • The shooter must bring a hand to their mouth as though they are holding a blowdart gun and make a defined shooting noise (a breathy "thooo" will suffice) aimed towards the victim with whom they have made eye contact
  • The victim must lie immobile until someone else pulls out the "dart"
  • Anyone can play, but if someone breaks a rule, they cannot play the game ever again
