I can't get the gong to ring. I have dragged elders, masters and even children and still get no gong. Is there a trick to getting the gong to ring?

I have managed to Ring the GONG several times.
And nothing but the ringing of the gong sounds.
Nothing has happened to anyone of my gongers.
Whats up?
I have had my esteemed elders my masters my adept villagers, I have tried them all,still nothing.
What do you have to have.
I have all my collectables and all of everything but my science and exploration. I am still at 2 on those 2. But I have yet to get any reward.

Keep the villager who rings the gong selected and look at the status bar. You will see something like "The gong grants ..." or "The gong takes away ..."

maybe that is a good thing because everytime i ring it it takes away my health tech points and food why is that?

Greetings to you all. I, too, am having issues getting the gong to work. Like other posters, I've used all manner of villagers, dropped them on the gong and waited, etc. and still nothing. I don't believe this is a case of doing it incorrectly, there really isn't much to the process. Any thoughts, please?

If you they are not selected you will not see the message.
(look where it would usually say this villager improved at...)

Thanks for the prompt reply.

I've done that and still nothing. The selected villager checks things out for a moment then, "nothing" and they go back to whatever they were doing. I've tried this several times.

Now, on the off chance that something did happen and I missed it, how would I know? Doesn't the gong ring when things are done correctly? If so, then I've not heard any gong noises so I would assume by that that I've not inadvertantly missed anything.

one time i had 75894 food and i lost it it all when i rang the gong

I just banged the gong and it does tell you what the effect is if you're patient.

I got some extra food

It case anyone didn't know, I would like to point out that the gong only works once a day.
