I would like to share a fun game with everyone. It is called the "dart game." The object of the game is to shoot other players with your sleep darts (you can also say dead but it doesn't really matter, I like to be less morbid). In order to shoot someone you must do two things. One, call their name. Two, put your hand up to your mouth as though it were a blow gun.
When you call somebody's name and the person turns to look at you and sees your blow gun, they have been hit and must go to sleep. Anyone may go to the 'sleeping' person and pull the dart from their neck in order to save them from their slumber.
Darts can be blocked in two ways. One, cover your neck before turning to face the person calling. Two, put up two fingers as if you were catching the dart before turning. Please note that both ways emphasize being completed prior to turning and seeing the blow gun.
Other rules and clarifications
-A sleeping person must stay asleep until the dart is removed.
-The call of the name may not include any other words, it must only be the name. "Hey (NAME)" is not a valid call.
-If a person is hit they must fall asleep immediately. It is no fun if you survey the area or contemplate how you were just bested before falling asleep. Just fall.
-Anyone who saves a sleeping person enters the game.
-Do not mess with sleeping people. It is illegal to poke or harass, in any way, those who are asleep.
-The game never ends.
-Remember that the darts have immediate effect, slow motion falls to the ground or laying lifeless in a chair are lame.

We used to play that at my old school...super funny when people randomly died in the hallway or class...but it was hard to play when you have to be on time to a class and pay attention. ::)
