Pegging

A Communication Game ( A funny and amusing way to create anonymously contact with people).

Somebody who playes this Game is called a Pegling or a Pegger the term Pegling is preferred.

History

We all know how to use them! But did you know that the same clothespeg, you use to dry your clothing, could be used to create contact with new and interesting people all around the world?

Let me start at the beginning! As far as I know are the origins of this Game called, Pegging (not related to the sexual preference of Pegging ) in New Zealand. The Game was quickly adopted by Circus Artists, Performance artists, jugglers and Fire spinners to be used on Festivals and other group gatherings.

Rules

The game is simple and easy all you need are a bunch of cloth pegs and a bit of time. It is usually played on conventions, festivals and parties. All you need to do then is to try to put one of the pegs onto somebody else without them feeling or noticing it. If a lot of people do this you will find people running around with more then one Cloth Peg on their back, be creative.

Wooden clothespin

To use those Pegs as a Communication device you just need to buy the modern wooden pegs and simply put your Email address, or an Email address specially created for this purpose, on it before you give it on.

Where can it be Played

In the City Center
In Parks for example Hyde Park or Central Park
On Partys

One example on how good it works

I Pegged somebody on the Juggling Convention in Athens and that person pegged somebody on a party in Portugal with my Peg and this girl contacted me.

Statistically 1 in 10 Pegs will be answered.

So they do get around
