I finally upgraded recently, but until I did, I had couldn't get the one copy of everything award. I got master of construction and luxurious facilities builder, but somehow building all the non-special and special facilities didn't add up to all the facilities. I'd improved administration up to level 42, which was and still is kinda ridiculous. Yes, I built the Atlass Hotel and a road leading from it. I made sure that every type of building that required one had a road, and rotated them. I planted every plant, built everything, every statue (including a totem of prosperity and an oracle of fortification), every power source, the jacuzzi, everything. I did have a nano generator on my island, as well as a few travel tents, and the mysterious arbor by way of limited time structures. Every structure (not counting the admin building) was upgraded all the way. I avoided upgrading for a long period of time because I don't spend money and I kept trying things because I knew upgrading was just going to mean more buildings that were levels out of reach, and more buildings that cost more piastres. I eventually gave up and upgraded in time for valentines day. And yup, more buildings that are locked and more lots more things that costs lots of piastres.

At any rate, it's more than a little ridiculous that you can, by their own definition, build every non-special facility, and every special facility and still fail to build every facility. And if you actual need the "special event" buildings to "win", that's crazy. I liked paradise island both because I could stay away from the game without consequences, and because I didn't have to buy special event buildings that I didn't like or couldn't afford. Now well, people don't play the game to win awards. At least not the majority. So having unattainable awards is pointless and pisses people off. Have attainable awards. Add to them if you feel like it. Maybe have a stats section, so that winning obsessed people can still keep track of things and aim for achievements and to know when they hit them even after they get the award.
