This is not a good example, at all.
In this case it's obvious that next is the other one as one turn finishes the other has already started, like in this case. So you end this round and take a break before the next one.

But the turn has not started as I pointed out. It is just about to start.

The turn starts when the previous one is over. There is no such thing as no turn in game, unless you ask for a break.
Even if the turn wasn't technically started (because you don't have dice in your hand or w/e), a break "next round" would still mean the same. If you want a break now, you say "let's take a break now".
And, again, it's a bad exaple because "a break next round" doesn't even refer in between rounds. In fact it better refers to "a break during the next round".

Correct, so the same logic applies to days of the week. when you are explicitly talking about fridays, when one friday is over the next one automatically becomes "this friday".

Its morning and you are saying I will do xyz work next evening, what evening is that? Today or tmrw?

What does it mean "over" when talking about days. It's either passed or not. Whatever comes first in chronological order is the next one.
The problem is not the use of the word, the problem is that next refers logically to a sequence of things. You have to first identify how the sequence is structured, then whatever comes next is of no ambiguity.

The sequence is evening, evening, evening, etc. So if yesterday's evening has passed you're in today's evening even if it's only morning. Hence next evening is tomorrow because todays' evening is the starting point.

Actually by this (convincing) logic, "next dayX" necessarily means the one of the next week, as the given sequence is the one of daysX and not generic days. That's exaplains why it's common to use "this" and "next".

Garja I posted an article that exactly does all your thinking steps but faster and more coherently. Just read that one dude.

Thing is, in my xp Dutch people always say "volgende week zaterdag" in such cases, while in English it's very common in imply the "week" rather than explicitly state it, resulting in confusion. I personally don't agree with the decision to leave that word out, since it's not intuitive to infer it and it has vital meaning in the sentence. Cutting it out makes the sentence ambiguous at best, proven by people ITT having different interpretations and noting how they tend to mention the exact date to avoid confusion.

So you basically just said what I said. The sequence here is friday, friday, friday. And since last week's friday has passed next friday is next week since this week's friday is the starting point.

Did you read the article I shared? It says exactly what you are saying here.

I'm saying in my xp Dutch people don't actually say "volgende vrijdag" and mean "volgende week vrijdag". The article claims that they do, but I've never heard it.

Yes, otherwise you would use aanstaande. However in my conversations the word aanstaande is hardly used, we just use volgende which would technically be wrong.

I just realized I often say "not this friday but friday next week" ("niet aanstaande vrijdag maar volgende week vrijdag")

I just realized that's because 'friday next week' is still ambiguous on saturday and sunday

Yeah, I still have never heard it; In any case it's very rare. In English it's normal.

If you are checking this thread to see discussion about ports being op then you are bound to get disappointed. You can find it out on Monday 6pm GMT on stream. This thread is just to announce that.
