Hi Adi,

Holding the suspense again? :-)

I hope it is simply because it is hard to decide between 3 correct answers and 50 technically correct but hardly possible ones...
Cheers!

There are 5 instances when you click you level 9 Temple, that the Upgrade button on the left will be grayed out and unable to build.

1) Not enough temple resources available to upgrade to level 10.
2) The temple is not enlightened.
3) Not enough prerequisite loyalty to upgrade to a level 10.
4) Build queue is full.
5) Hand of God item is active.

[Tremor]

The instances where you can't upgrade your level 9 temple are:
1) Not enough temple resources available
2) Not enough loyalty to upgrade the temple
3) Hand of God is active
4) No build slots available in the build queue
5) Temple not enlightened

[Spaghettios]

[Peacer]

thats not the issue      .....  lol?

Well, the situation is a bit funny.
One of the answers everybody is giving is technically correct. The situation described in it could be created on purpose. However a real game situation like that is not very likely to happen.
I humbly hope that the contest organizers were looking for the other answer.

So, how is one supposed to award the prizes?
Award them to the people who gave the expected answer?
Or draw a lottery that includes everybody who gave technically correct but "extremely unlikely to happen"  answer?

Ahhh, the suspense...

Congratulations to our 5 winners!

Gundown, Penguini, Siolad, SuzukiC and Tremor!

Each has been directly credited 3 Scrolls, 8 Magic Powders, 10 Oars, and 10,000 Denari to their World of choice! Keep checking back here in the forums for more


Ok, so barring all of the really near impossible answers, I did include the Hand of the Gods item as correct (though it wasn't the expected answer because it would really almost have to be an accidental use by someone not knowing it would block the build, as using it on purpose while Blessed would hamstring you). The answers I was originally looking for are as follows: 1. Not enough space in your build queue. 2. City no longer Blessed. 3. Not enough Resources (I lumped Wood and Stone together as both are needed). and 4. Not enough Loyalty (It is possible to get the Blessing, then lose the Loyalty points needed to build it, as this is a war game and Temples get knocked down a lot. This is an actual viable strategy that has been used successfully to hold back an Alliance from crowning).

It is possible for an alliance to own more than 1 level 10 Temple, so that in itself would not block a build. It would be one of those near impossible scenarios where 2 people were trying to build the crowning level 10 at the same time, and the first person built theirs while having it completely quick built by Hammers being stacked ahead, and the other clicked right after so all the Temples got destroyed before their click could register. I did not allow this as a possible answer as that scenario is really highly unlikely to happen (unless y'all try to do it on purpose now just because of this contest!) Yes..I know, some of you will be tempted! lol

As a juicy tidbit, every one of the answers I was expecting (not the Hand of the Gods that I accepted as technically correct), have come from tickets entered! It's easy to overlook a seemingly minor detail when under pressure or in a rush.
