Day 3,353, 03:23 • Published in Netherlands

Dear Mr Plato,

I like your teaser button called "Next Battle" it looks for all
the world like the waiting is over and you can get started on the
next round. But 20-30 minutes later it still says "Next Battle".

My radical idea, is you pop up the "Next Battle" button when there is,
perhaps, a snowballs chance in Hell (or for those offended, a toasty July
day in Death Valley) some slight chance of actually entering into the next
affray (battle, skirmish, hostility, onslaught, clash, sortie...).

Just a thought...

Being it written that way, I expect it to rhyme. But hey, they say good poetry does not need o rhyme.

Valid point anyway.

They can easily do 100% chance by simply waiting too long. Or at the cost of higher server load (not sure how pleased they'd be about that) poll every 5 minutes to check whether the battle has finished in all divisions (at which time they know exactly how late the next round will start).

If they really want to be fancy they could program a push system, whereby the end of a round immediately sends out an update to everybody logged in and watching a round.
