When does the daily chart get updated?

When when when?

When do the updates run? What do they do? How long do they take to complete?

There are two update times, which (regardless of any official terms) I call the "UN Update" and the "Off-hand Update." During both updates, any issue choices made by your nation are processed, UN Delegate powers can be granted (not 100% sure about this - Sal?), and for nations set to two issues per day (or per weekday), an issue is placed in there issue box. Extra things happen only during only the UN Update. As you may guess, these things have to do with the UN. First off, the delegateship plate (UN Memeber/UN Delegate under your name) can only change hands during this time. Additionally, at the end of the update, all UN matters are proccessed. This means that all proposals slated to expire that day expire, it either passes or fails at the end of the update. One final thing that happens is that the UN rankings are updated during the update (as it cycles through the regions) and the new list is posted at the very end of the update. If the resolution at vote ends that day, though, votoing ends during the offhand update, not the UN.

Update times:
UN: ~1:00 PST - ~4:00 PST in my experiance - Exact ending time is variable, but can be verified by the new UN Rankings being published.
Offhand: Ends at ~5PM EST

But you took out the little line at the bottom with the credits and the formatting!

How are people going to know I wrote the text, you supplied the information, and Frisbeeteria asked the question?

Hoogstratenia, in the future be sure to check the Tech FAQ before you ask questions that might have answers ;)
