I noticed the bars went green at 30% but a different green at 50%, a different colour later on and blue at 100%.

So I never took 30% as a definitive number

Why not have the emissaries say something like "we need your help to build these temples. if you complete the first half, we'll finish them" (but in a more flowery RP way) :) I would have been happier about that than the random boost that came out of left field at one point.
I'm jsut guessing really. But it seems like the most logical reason to me.

I'm still confused about the boost too. Don't have any constructive guesses on that one. :D

Just a bit of early encouragement in case we decided not to bother building them at all. :p

Log after the event

Hello to all. I am not very good with forums so i will try to speak my mind as better as possible. Plz bare my poor English.
I consider myself speaking in place of all my guildies in Band of the Hawks. Cause as i said in the past atm we are 4 in 1 and 1 in 4 :)
So i can proceed and tell u this small resume:
Band of the Hawks helped first Zorai Temple. Then progress made to Zorai and we left to help tryker temple a little. We did also a small break of 5 days to reach lvl 250 in craftings so we will have the capabilities to help with all the kind of buildings and harvesting for sure. After that break we found ourselves in a dilemma. Help our hometown temple or help the Pyr who is far more progressed but still karavan's Matis temple beats him for 11%?
We chose to help Pyr temple to build the nesecary parts and achieve a slight difference in favor of kamis. With other guilds full on this project also we made it that happen too easy and in a few days only. At that point the initial plan was to help Zorai temple do the same. But there were certain reasons we chose not to and one of the most serious one was that Zorai temple the last couple of days had an outstanding growth already that if kept up it would be 200% by now although it stopped after somedays when we were already on the Tryker Temple working like madmen and running out of time. Some really good and kind guilds helped us do the impossible, that was to save tryker temple from destruction. The efforts were tremendous but at the end it seemed we were one day short.
After one day that passed already and slept at least enough hours to think clearly again i can say that in some way it is good that my hometown kami temple hasnt built cause that would unbalance the higher powers and would make a 3 kami vs 2 kara temples. I believe in balance and everyone to have fun and try hard. This is a good motivation i guess. Also if was supposed the two highest temples of each faction to be built only then Im glad that didnt happen cause i didnt want to have a land with no temple while another had two although that Trykers i believe deserved it as comes its the only land that voted for both temples. All citizens of Atys worked hard enough and thats commentable.
So i get this event as ended, i will try not to feel sad about the loss of the tryker kami temple cause that loss of the temple has been filled with the warm feeling of all those people who helped in that crazy project :)
I want to thank the Guilds:
Samsara / Red Ribbon Army / Mercants of Void / Eleytheria / Ouroboros Nocturna which proved me that they are hardworkers and completely selfless persons. I want also to thank Vixen, Nail, Petej and the rest who helped in this crazy process in Tryker temple. A special thanks to Kye and Fasinus who helped us the last day not only by mats but mostly by not disturbing the peace in old lands and giving us time this way to proceed in our efforts. I might forget some people already but plz forgive me.
I also want to thank all karas that mostly showed respect and fair game. Both sides we did mistakes but we are here to live with them and look towards future to fix them. Personally i want to thanks all guilds of karas that showed favor and respect toward my small guild and this gift will be returned twice when the time and the place is right.
Of course i have to say a big thanks to all kamis that worked hard in their own ways and last but not least i want to personally give my greater thanks to the people who opposed me especially in kami chat or looked down on me cause thx to that they made me enough stubborn to keep the crazy work of harvesting 24/7. Insomnia helped also a little and Kali's chat company :)

Thx all my friends and c u in game. Dont ever forget though that we are all homins and must respect each other and one last thing to noted if i may.
That is Plz all be more considerate about having fun, cause one's fun may be the sad of many and thats no good. We can find the balance in us and between us.

Bye bye all. I hope i didnt trigger any bad about all those i had to say but if i did find me ig to talk cause i dont want to end up an unbelievable long Forum Dialog. For those who wonder why i storied the way hawks acted in all the event the answer is simple. During the event i heard many question about why do that instead of that or things like that questioning motives and thinking. So instead of giving full explanations at that time and have to talk to each one seperately i chose to do it now open to u all but mostly i send this letter to give my proper thanks to people who actually cared and worked for sth greater than their own self.

Thats all (wonders should i post it or not, throws a coin and..... NO that means i have to post it :( ..... Good luck)

Out of interest can someone tell me what happened on Leanon. I fear my German is not up to finding an answer for myself.

If I understood it right, and iterpreted the progress bars on the chronicles site right, they got 3 Kami sanctuarys in Fyros, Tryker and Zorai, and one Karavan temple in Matis.

Please correct me, if I'm wrong.

As you say thats what one might expect from the progress bars, I was wondering if that is what was announced as happening.

There is a comment on the chronicles site too, that states that the tryker lost their faith in Jena, and fell to the promises of the Ma-Duk.

Thanks for that. It will be interesting to see to what extent the stories on the various servers will truely start to diverge.
