[Forum Event] Monthly Marathon December

loa 1 events

"For many runners, the desire to do a marathon is about a personal challenge, a test of one's limits and strenght, a wish to prove that you can go the distance and achieve a long-life goal. It is also a huge undertaking, which might first seem as impossible,  a challenge that requires commitment and perseverance. Anytime we accomplish something new we grow stronger, we become more confident." Our monthly marathon challenges you to step out of your comfort zone, focus on a subject (or on more), enjoy yourself and have fun while solving it/them, and prove yourself that you can tackle almost anything if you put your mind to it. All these in the span time of a week!
We are aware it was a little bit of delay to post our Forum event but ... here we are again, to challenge you with Monthly Marathon. Let's revise how it works!  We propose you seven different topics to choose among. Each topic has a task to be solved, which task will ask you to come with a different type of solution/answer/reply. You may choose one topic only and stick to it or you can try up to three topics to play with. Be creative, let your mind run free and have lots of fun while doing that!

The seven topics we challenge you with this month are as it follows:

TOPIC 1: December is "National Write to a Friend Month".
TASK: a) Write a short letter to a friend of yours, in real life or in game, at your choice. The letter should not be longer than 5-7 lines.
b) Write a short note to one of the heroes in game, at your choice (no more than 20-30 words). Topic is yours to choose. Make it as funny or unexpected as you can. Mention the hero you chose, add pics or screenshots, drawings or schetches if you find it proper.

TOPIC 2: "Pretend to be a Time Traveller Day" is celebrated in December.
TASK: Let's celebrate it too. If it were to be a time traveller, where would you choose to go? What time or period would you choose? Who would you travel with? Give us your thoughts on this, illustrate it if you want, briefly explain your choices.

TOPIC 3: Did you know that Poinsettia has a day of its own on December 12th? This day was created to celebrate this popular holiday plant that is actually a plant native to Mexico.
TASK: Create and craft your own Poinsettia, using ANY material/s you can find at hand or you can think of. When your work of art is done, post it here. It is a "must" to sign it, so your IGN, server name and number, platform have to appear on a piece of paper placed next to or near it. Drawings and schetches are also allowed and accepted.

TOPIC 4: Games have a day of theirs, as well, celebrated on 20th of December.
TASK: What kind of games do you most enjoy? Are they board games, card games, or maybe video games? Which game/s is/are your favourite game/s to play? Who do you most enjoy to play it/them with? What is "special" about the game/s you chose?

TOPIC 5: December 16th is the day dedicated to ... Chocolate-covered Anything Day. This is the day you've been waiting for, the day when "What would this taste like dipped in chocolate?" can officially get an answer.
TASK: We invite and also challenge you to go nuts on this and try to dip and drizzle your favorite foods in every kind of chocolate you can imagine. Don't be shy, go beyond limits, show us what's you're favorite chocolate-covered anything. Be bold, try not only fruit, but anything else there - pretzels, muffins, nuts, walnuts, peanuts, cashews ... and the list can go on. My favorite stays strawberries and bananas dipped in dark chocolate. Post a picture of what you tried. Write down your IGN, server name and number, platform, on a piece of paper and place it next to or near your chocolate-covered food/s. (pics or photos found on internet, with your data digitally added, are not accepted).

TOPIC 6: Walter Elias Disney, known as Walt Disney, was born in December.
TASK: a) Tell us what is your favorite Walt Disney m.o.v.i.e and why. Supposing you have never seen any Disney m.o.v.i.es, which one would you like to see and why? (make a little bit of research or google for it and share your thoughts here). You can also add pics, photos, gifs, memes, etc.
b) Which of the characters in game would fit in any of the Disney films? Mention the character and the m.o.v.i.e and try a short explanation for your choice (no more than 4-5 lines).

TOPIC 7: December 25th - Christmas Day
TASK: Gifts and presents are often a focus of this very special day. Describe the best or the most unexpected gift you have GIVEN to someone else. Tell us who that person was, mention (and even "show") what gift/present you gave them. Try to explain why you gave them that specific gift, and what made that gift-giving experience so special. You can add pictures or photos (any source for it is allowed and accepted).

MONTHLY MARATHON: DECEMBER

TOPIC 1 - NATIONAL WRITE TO A FRIEND MONTH
(re-read and edited)
a letter for my grade school friend Taka... a note to one of my favorite heroes Monkey King...
https://prnt.sc/qlf1g6


TOPIC 2 - PRETEND TO BE A TIME TRAVELLER DAY
if i would be a time traveller, i want to go back to the past when ancient philosophers/astronomers were trying to prove something about Earth (if it is flat or spherical) and the outer space (if it is geocentric or heliocentric).  i want to see personally if how did they lay down their assumptions and arguments during their respective era.  and how do common ancient people reacted to their reasoning and hypothesis -- their exact facial expressions.  did they believe with the philosophers' statements without any questions?  is there someone who silently opposed it but just chose to shut his mouth?  i will use the opportunity to challenge these ancient philosophers/astronomers to convince me more (or change what i believe with).  if there is a time machine, i want to have a sort of talk show with Plato, Aristotle, Ptolemy, Aristarchus, Copernicus, Galilei and the rest of the philosophers/astronomers.  i want to see them all in a debate.  i am curious if whose side can make a smarter final statement...  my younger sister would love to have this kind of travel-adventure...
https://prnt.sc/ql053h


TOPIC 4 - GAMES
i am in to a board games when i want a "physical" chaotic atmosphere.  although, i am more comfortable playing with fewer or single person sitting beside me and just visualize chaos from my screen through video (or browser or mobile) games.  i had tried playing zOMG, LoL, FFXIV, Ragnarok Online 2, DotA2, WoW, Flyff, ML, LoA1/2/3, and many more i forgot i even started playing.  i cannot single out one as my favorite for they gave me different kind of excitement.  what i like about those games are the storylines, the quests/challenges/battles, the graphics and effects, the way it made me think how to strategize.  unfortunately, except LoA1 and ML; i can no longer play those games because (1)i am busy in real life and (2)i don't have someone to play for me whenever i cannot go online...

Forum Event Monthly Marathon- December

Topic3. Poinsettia


Topic4. Games
I enjoyed playing video games. Aside from playing league of Angels now , I have 2 other games i'm playing with my nieces and nephew and thats Mobile Legends and Clash of Clan




Topic6. Walter Elias Disney
a) I love all Disney m.o.v.i.es and i've watched them all too many times as possible with my nieces and nephews of course. If i would pick only one as fave it should be Beauty and the Beast. It teaches us a lot of moral lesson like, " true beauty is found not in how one looks but in how one treats others" and " true love is when you're willing to sacrifice yourself for another. I love also their themesong i can sing it all day but i don't have a good singing voice haha




b) Angel Zveda looks like a disney princess and i think she would fit as Cinderella.

T7 I think best and sincere gifts i made in my life were in my childhood) i used to make something like X-mas postcards to my dears, made a lottery to whom a certain of the postcad would be gifted, but everyone had its own postcad. Last month while sorting out my granny's old shelf i found a collection of them...she had kept them or years... One of then i selected and took home for keeping) By the way, the year i gofted my mom a symbol of new year- rat, cuttie and small, and money looool)) It seems to be not original, but more practical...children grew up)))

T3 Unfortunatelly we have no materials for the Poinsettia in my city, i had to do in in PS version:


T4 I love LoA- from all the web games i have played)))) In Ps i love Outlast, Residents( all versions)., silent hill, evil Withing....In games i love story, plot. Fpr unstance, my fav from the list  are Evil within and silent hill 'cause their plots are meaningful, interesting, as if am a part of a film, not just a game. I love to play them alone, it's usually my intovertic time.

TASK: Let's celebrate it too. If it were to be a time traveller, where would you choose to go? What time or period would you choose? Who would you travel with? Give us your thoughts on this, illustrate it if you want, briefly explain your choices.
I would travel to the farthest planet I could get to and hope to find some cool aliens. Maybe a bit in future but anytime period would be awesome. I wouldn't mind traveling by myself but having a travel partner/friend would be even better. Outer Space... let's do this!

TOPIC 1:
a) Dear friend Sahdeh. Its been a long time have seen you, when was it, may be 2018. Hope you are still the same person you used to be. I heard you are getting married this year. I hope I could join the ceremony, but you are miles away, could be hard. I wish you to be happy with your marriage life.

b) Conquest Knight: Yo, Conquest Knight, whats up bro. I heard you got infected with the skill bug, was it Genesis. You should have used some protection, lol.

TOPIC 4:
I mostly enjoy PC games, specifically Action and Strategy games. But I do play board and card games time to time, mostly in mobile.
My most favourite is GTA series. I dont know how many times I repeatedly played each game. I only play offline storymode, so with no one. I never gave it a thought why these game are special, but they are fun to play for sure.


TOPIC 6:
a) I like all of the disney m o v i e s, but if I have to chose, I will say Wall-E. It gives us an insight of the future, how we humans are destroying our earth and ourselves. How we are making life easier with technological advancement, but forgetting the most important things in life.


If it is the case that I never saw any disney m o v i e, I will like to see Frozen II, which been recently released and got good rating in IMDB.


b) Undoubtedly, the resemblance between Snow Queen and Elsa from Frozen is amazing. The hair, the dress choice everything match. Except the bow, but Elsa can make similar one with her magic.

TOPIC 2: "retend to be a Time Traveller Day" is celebrated in December.
TASK: If I were a time traveller, I would travel with my wife and family back to visit with Jesus when He was on the Earth.  We would also go back and witness major biblical moments such as creation, the great flood, the plagues of Egypt, etc.  Of course we can read about them now in the bible, but it would be amazing to be able to actually see them happen.

TOPIC 4: Games have a day of theirs, as well, celebrated on 20th of December.
TASK: Of course right now I enjoy playing LOA, but I have always enjoyed playing a variety of games.  Growing up I played Sorry, UNO, Monopoly, Clue, and many others. When Nintendo (classic) came out, I wasted tons of time playing Mario Brothers, Zelda, and many others.  Nowdays, I enjoy playing mostly video games with my children on our Playstation consoles, as well as some of the board games that I played on as a kid.  These games are special because now I can pass along my love for them to my kids, and enjoy seeing them play nearly more than I enjoy playing them.



TOPIC 6: Walter Elias Disney, known as Walt Disney, was born in December.
TASK: a) There are tons of Disney films that I enjoy, even more now that they've bought out some of the other companies like Pixar, but I would say one of my favorites is Pirates of Caribbean because they weren't predicted to do very well, but eventually spawned multiple films. If I had never seen any of their films, I would want to see the Toy Story series because it truely depicts the imagination of a child, and is an interesting viewpoint from the toys' perspective that no other film has ever done before.  
b) Obviously Snow Queen would fit in Disney's Frozen, if it wasn't based on the character of Elsa already.  She's more combative than the character in the film, but I'm sure everyone who plays that has seen that film, recognizes the similiarity

TOPIC 2: "retend to be a Time Traveller Day"

If I had a Time Traveller Machine, I would go back in time some 2000 BC & meet my saviour, Christ Jesus. Follow Him as he healed the sick, raised the dead, performing miracles & providing for those who knew Him not; preached unto the Gentiles & turning water into wine & even though I don't drink, I would taste the best wine of all time, then again I would drink a whole glass & go for a second or even a third.

Topic 4:  GamesI enjoy playing card games with family & friends in a cool shade. There is one particular card game I liked the most, is when all 52 cards are placed face down in rows & the player has to turn over the cards at each turn & match a pair. I forgot the name of that game. On the other hand, I recently learnt how to play Uno & it was fun! I had a good time losing & winning. The other players were pros, but I think I did well as a beginner.
