Okay, so I finally got the upgraded VV3 put onto my game. Not a big deal because only one of my tribes is to the statue stage. As soon as it came up I kept hearing all kinds of "No"s and "Uh-uh"s! Lots and lots of them, over and over. What is up with that?! It is SO annoying! I can't even figure out (most of the time) which ones are saying it!!!!!! Anybody else have this happen???

I had once or twice that kind of problem. You must take care of the villagers who are behind the statue and that you can't see. It could be them.
As I got a mod who make the statue transparent, I could notice it! (it's a Deathwing's modification. You may find it in the VV3 Guides section).

Make sure you do not have too many people trying to erect the statue, I had the same problem when I was putting up my statue.
