Support, although slightly workaround able.uh, unless you don't have a script modifying the cloud var xDset [old data v] to (☁️ cloud)
wait (30) seconds
if <(☁️ cloud) = (old data)>
say [Your internet connection is quite bad.]

my ping is an average of 30 on overseas servers, get on my level
This seems completely harmless and very useful \_(._.)_/ support

I don't know if that would work, normally if you try to modify a cloud variable with no connection it will still appear to change locally.
Support for this suggestion. Something to synchronise time with the server would also be good, but I think there are already suggestions for that.

Support 
I don't get why people keep saying “It would be confusing for new Scratchers”. There is a help bar for a reason, plus they don't need to use it if they don't want to.

If a new scratcher remixes a project with this block made by a scratcher, what would happen? Would it have to be made so new scratchers can't even click “see inside” on projects with this block?

If a new scratcher remixes a project with this block made by a scratcher, what would happen? Would it have to be made so new scratchers can't even click “see inside” on projects with this block?If the project had no cloud data, it'd return NaN. And a new scratcher can't get cloud data via remixing - problem solved.

I think that it should only show up once a cloud variable is made, and if they were a New Scratcher, it would be blank, like the username block for guests.If a new scratcher remixes a project with this block made by a scratcher, what would happen?

Support, however can't you do this with a raspberry pi?
1. set cloud variable #1 to 1 and start the timer
2. rasp. pi sets cloud variable #2 to 1
3. when you receive #2 as 1 stop timer
I get that not everyone has a Pi, but to run an extreme online game you may want/need to use one.

Support! You can make this with timers but it would be hard.
