"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).
