Why a make-up mirror for Marathon trophy?

You should also get a super trophy / combine the 4 different colours if you get one for every season :D
Hmm.. let's try to be smart here:

What is the message from the trophy artist:

The dominant color of the trophy is blue. The age of the winers of the trophy can be expected to be old enough for the music hit: "Blue monday" from the group New Order. The track is the biggest-selling 12" single of all time, inovative - as the winner of the trophy should be too. The cover of the 12" is a floppy disc and the hole in the middle of the floppy reminds easily at the circle of the trophy.
Too far fetched?
Oh no! The first line of the lyrics is:"How does it feel"! We all know customer relationship management depends on feelings and art too depends heavily on feelings.
.. I could go on but I feel dizzy and should go sleep ;-)
Finally.. the trophy is not a mirror.. it is IMO a tribute to the New Order hit Blue Monday..
let me finish with a poem from me:
a pawn is a pawn, is a pawn, is a pawn, is a pawn, is a queen *1)

comment of the player:
*1) checkmate you bastard!?
Three Trophies for the Grandmasters under the sky,
Seven for the streamers in their studios of stone,
Nine for the "L" Masters doomed to die,
One for the Thibault on his dark throne
In the Land of Lichess where the checkmates lie.
One Trophy to rule them all, One Trophy to find them,
One Trophy to bring them all and on the chessboard bind them
In the Land of Lichess where the checkmates lie.

feel free to modify more
Nice work man :-)
You are talking about Thibault the white, or Thibault the grey?
Yes, I think we must send Thibault this we are talking about. :).

For example I thought, if this idea of the marathon is along time, the repeated trophies could have in front of the game: x2, x3...:)
I logged on from a different computer and then achja's mirror was autumn coloured. Now it's again winter coloured. Is the mirror showing up in different colours on different computers?
