ty for answering that question!! Now I have another...I have a villager,fortysomething, and who became an esteemed elder when he rang the gong...he gained wisdom. He was awarded a totem but the totem has disappeared...I have shut the game down and reloaded to no avail...any ideas as to what has happened to the totem??? Is there an event which takes and elder's totem away??? Thanks in advance to any assistance!!!
