The Summer Season lasts through June, July and August of real time. For each real month there are four different goals, twelve goals total. Completing all twelve rewards a medal, while completing the thread goals for all four SEASONS awards an even cooler medal! These thread goals may be combined into the same thread or may be done in twelve separate threads, but all twelve goals must be present in order to receive credit. Threads do not need to be completed in the month they are posted in - they simply need to be finished to count. Now the fun part! Thread Goals were created to help give you a nudge should your inspiration be lacking. They can inspire a PC to do something they normally wouldn't, have them meet new and exciting people or even explore things that you as the writer might not even be aware of yet! These are supposed to be fun and creative. Just keep in mind the prompts listed below are just that: prompts. They can be applied anyway you choose. If a goal is to get your PC into a fight, but alas! Your PC doesn't fight? Perhaps they get into a fight with themselves over something they think they did wrong, or regretted not doing. It's really up to you how creative you get with it! June 1. Have an arm-wrestling contest. 2. Have a pint! 3. Kiss something, inanimate or otherwise. 4. Go window shopping. July 1. Write a letter. 2. Explore the Misty Peaks. 3. Gain a new skill. 4. Pay respect to a deity. August 1. Visit the Opera House. 2. Discover new love. 3. Sit upon a roof top. 4. Interact with a stranger.
