I’m curious what the rationale behind giving a time for round end being a bad idea is. If anything not knowing the round end will cause more chaos as players don’t know what to plan for. Last day sac’ing has been a thing for a long time to try to knock a particular rival down if you wanted to see them fall just a little in the KHoF. That’ll be harder now as protection is easier to get.
Everyone was given a prot stone. When you use that is your choice. If for some reason maga wanted to turn on shrake and have a clash of the titans, he’d have to do it at least 13 hours before the stated end. Where shrake would bounce him, then retal, and be in protection for the rest of the round. Activate the double training speed item and recover as much as possible.
Vacation mode has been disabled for a weekend I would use vacation mode. That weekend coincides with the end of the round. Three months could be squandered. Not because of attacking or defending but because of the unknown.
