Lesson One: Update Times

Raiding can only take place when the game, NationStates, updates. You'll want to arrive ten minutes before the update begins, unless your commander tells you otherwise. Update happens at 12:00AM and 12:00PM Eastern Standard Time. Below are links to convert the update to your local time.
Major update: Conversion tool
Minor update: Conversion tool
Again, you should arrive ten minutes before update. You'll usually know about the raids a couple days in advance, and your commander will inform you of what type of raid it is, as well as what to do next. Lesson Two will teach you how to create puppets. I hope you enjoy!
