Apparently not. On one of her other AAR's she mentioned that she is partway through writing the next episode. I think she mentioned she was suffering from some writers block but was still working through it gradually.

I'd love to be able to update daily but right now I'm real busy working on the time-intensive Last Man and Shilling update, which has proven a real headache to complete.

EDIT: I found the exact quote. This is from 4 days ago. Seems recent enough. We just need to keep waiting.

This certainly isn't dead, I've just been short on time to work on the update. I know exactly what I want to write but playing through the game to get the screenshots has proven more challenging than expected, due to the complexity of the changes I'm making to the scenario. I feel, however, that the payoff will be worth it.

Just wanted to say, this is a brilliant AAR. Take all the time you need to get the next step right - we'll wait!

Robw makes a good point, even if it took 2 years, Sai still managed to update her Blood and Gold AAR.

I promise guys, it's coming, just cool your jets and try to be patient. I've gotten through the worst of it now and it's just taking screenshots, editing and writing a post when I can.

We don't mean any disrespect Saithis. I hope our posts make you feel appreciated for taking the time to write a brilliant narrative rather than feel under pressure to appease the impatient mob that are your readers. (Myself included )

Quality is far better than quantity. Thanks for sharing this story with us.

Couldn't agree more. Take our restlessness as encouragement, and do please feel free to ignore it if that's the better way to go. We'll wait until it's done - whenever you decide that it is done.

Let me know what you guys think, the input is highly valuable and I'll try to have another update up by the start of this week regardless of what people think/respond with. I hope you enjoy!

It sure is a long week.... I re-discovered this AAR while browsing the AARland Choice AwAARD votes, and it made me wonder. What happened to this AAR? Anyway, I am hoping that you'll continue this great AAR some day (rather sooner than later?). Australia will conquer the world!

EDIT: Oh, and Saithis; please don't feel rushed by our comments. We're just very excited to see some more of your work.

I'm looking forward to the next update. Just finished reading the AAR again. (Need to do stuff while the flu burns itself out, so rereading all of my favorite AAR's).

Good and bad news, so I'll start with the bad.

I've been suffering from illness and stress throughout the end of last week so my hoped and semi-promised update has been delayed even further. I'm having a hiccup that is once again requiring creative solutions - all British units have been distributed into various nations with a percentage marked as loyalists and I have been able to establish the Edwardian government, but there's teething pains in terms of getting the various puppets to work i.e. break free where necessary and I'm having to untangle various scripts and codes to get the removal of the UK from the Allies to actually work appropriately. I believe I can do it, but it's taken, once again, far longer than expected.

I apologize to everyone for the long wait, and I hope this update reassures you that progress is being made, and that I will never go through this for an AAR ever again. xD

Saithis, I wish you a speedy recovery from your illness - and about the stress: being ill, at home and not thinking of any work (or AAR) issues is the best way to recover from that. On the other hand, I'm glad you're making progress, and I am looking forward to the moment you solve the issues. When you're at it, just remember how grateful we will be. And that you probably never will have to go through this kind of trouble for us anymore

There's absolutely no rush for an update. You just take all the time you need to get well and get the game to do as you want it to do!

Agreed - this is an excellent AAR and I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say I'm grateful you're suffering for your art

Whenever you're ready, we'll be here.
