Huh?

How does that work? All updates are more or less done the same day they appear on the site. It's very rare that the updaters actually know what game they are putting up each day.

This is a usual day in the Updater Forum:

Reup: Seb, I'll update on monday with Quake 3. I am also free on wednesday, thursday and saturday. Could you do the other days? I might be able to squeeze in an update on sunday, but I can't promise anything.
Seb: Don't worry about it, I can do the other days (including Sunday).
Reup: Wonderful.


As you can see only a single game has been called by name for an entire week. The normal procedure is to wait to either the day before or the same day, pick a game from the Completely Ready folder on the server, look over everything, and then throw it up on the site when it's time. The next day the other updater can easily see which game was added, and pick another game from the Completely Ready folder. And so the days go...
