Proposal
For ease of reference, I'd like to propose the creation of a notification icon for any 48-hour KO period. Visually it would be very similar to the current fort battle notification icon including a time counter of some sort to give you a quick, direct idea of when your KO time expires.
Current Workaround
At this time to my knowledge there are only two ways to gauge the KO time outside of recording the time yourself: 1. From a tool tip as you rollover any town member's (outside of your own) dueling status via the Saloon town members list. This is ok but it is rather buried and non-intuitive especially for new players. 2. The Sheriff's Office displays your time remaining but instead of listing hours:minutes:seconds, it just displays a basic approximation similar to the UPS trader time limit statement.
Details
This icon would be displayed to the right of the saloon icon and would stack with the fort battle icon as needed. The icon graphically would be very simple (see below) and would only display hours and minutes remaining in the KO time period. Of course this would display for either dueling KOs or work K0s regardless of the source. This counter would have to reset as well for the most current KO effect.
Abuse Prevention
I can see no way this feature would be abused.
Visual Aids
Summary
I think understanding the details of the KO period is very important and I see time after time again new players getting lost in terms of knowing exactly how much longer they have to wait. Of course, a sticky note and a watch can help you get this information but having a simple visual reference like this can be extremely useful. Thanks!
