Hiatus & Status Update

This is long overdue, I haven't had time to check comments or even traffic but what's going on right now is that school started up again over the last week of August and I'm in an intense survey of French history. Moreover, the annual Cardfight!! Vanguard World Championships are going on and I've been preparing for a major trip around the 20th; not only for news coverage, but because I'm competing in a regional qualifier. This is the biggest tournament of the year for the United States, so preparing a deck and practicing with my teammates has taken up a lot of my time.

The basic status of the LP right now is;
-Diamond Realm is entirely screenshotted, but not totally written up out of my loose notes
-My most recent save file is in post-destruction Shinjuku, with some of the early parts captured
-I might have gotten slightly sidetracked by Fiends

I want to continue this when there's time for it, realistically sometime during or after the first two weeks of October. I don't want to make promises on those dates because I'm familiar with people being disappointed by LPs dying off trying to reach deadlines, and I don't know exactly what kind of impact WCS2014 will have. The Vanguard fandom tends to react to the World Championship with either remarkable enthusiasm or this idea that the sky is falling, and both require a lot of work on my part to capture what players are thinking, feeling and doing. I'm anticipating total exhaustion after the Illinois qualifiers. But hopefully I'll have time to get back to JBS in October.
