Make prep day 23 hours long

Simple idea, Continuous War Feature.

How this works?
You set it to start war at whatever time you want it to always start at, but only at the top of a given hour. The game will do its search at that time automatically. The time it takes to find another Continuous War Clan needing a match for that time slot will both have thier prep time 'eaten into' to keep war on schedule. While the search is going on, you can see your half of the map, but not the other side. You cannot donate to your war bases yet until a match is made.

Both clans will have synched up and fairly deducted prep time, and both now can keep thier tight war schedule.

Added Edit: Given how the system now knows you are wanting to war right after the current war, it can pre match people before hand, saving time, better matching clans, and likely reducing the down time in searching since it isn't an as-needed matching search.

Wow, this is actually pretty good.

It could also, since it knows the top of the hour start time and clan strength start the search in the final hour of previous war and then just switch to the new war right away if it has found an opponent. (and do as you say above if not) It can warn everyone that the new search is going to start so that guys know to have their opt in/out preferences set. (and other than they live with what happens and for their choice to be in continuous mode the onus is on them to keep track of themselves and remember)

24 is an easier number to keep in mind, everything is a day later which makes it easier for people to remember when war is. With 23 hours its rather awkward.

Should a new thread be made for this?

I guess I've gotten used to how to fit ideas to a given user interface, after thinking about and working on so many ideas.

Really, that was a 'top of my head' idea I just threw out there. There was a need to keep constant wars on time, and as I typed, problems with the idea cropped up, and then got fixed right there... It just 'built itself' and 'debugged itself' in my head. Can't really explain it much better than that.

I think it warrants its own thread. This thread is for a different idea that would do harm to one faction of the users just to benefit another. Yours would not hurt anyone but benefit the ones that did like this idea by giving them the end result they seek (true back to back wars without getting their time pushed) In fact, your suggestion is more bulletproof to getting the time pushed than the OPs suggestion.

Please be sure you explain and document it well covering all points. (yes, I am well aware you usually do)

I'd Recomend like 12 hours to 16 hours, BUT ok.

This gets argued over for 2 pages, and I come up with this (War As Scheduled, Automatically)... nothing... just ignored.

Maybe I need to put something worth arguing about to get people to come and comment, like maybe some too close to home off color 'your mama' jokes, or an idea to stop people from using farming bases for good...
*gets flash back of a bad thread or two*
Then again.. maybe that's a bad idea... yeah
