Foolish Question

22-10-2003, 00:25
Admittedly i'm probably a fool for asking and deserve monkey-slaps
but: how long should it take for UN Delegate status to change?

i now have a mighty 1 endorsement, and our previous delegate has 0

You have to wait for the UN update, which I believe is around 6 AM EDT.

No, there are two updates.

One at 6 AM Eastern, one at 6 PM Eastern.

I've heard, but the 6 PM update never seems to do anything much....just DEAT a lot of old nations.

It gets rid of old regions too. I think that they meant that it does not change the category ranking.

For the UN delegate updates, Goob is right, there's only one at 6 AM EST. There are two general game updates at about 6 AM and 6 PM EST.

Luna Amore is correct in that update occurs once every 24 hours, but my own tests indicate that the update occurs at around 5 AM EST.

Huh.

The second(lesser) update as proven by my own tests is 6 PM EST, so that would imply gaps of 13 and 11 hours as opposed to 12 ours apart.

Well the daily update varies a bit doesn't it? I don't have it down to an exact hour cause I'm hardly ever up at that hour. :wink:

The two updates mentioned are indeed 11/13 hours apart, not an even 12.

Both updates take place over a period of two hours, and go through all regions in the system one by one. The exact update time will hence vary per region.
