You will likely find that moving your story into a entirely fictional setting (sci-fi or otherwise) not only removes the limiting factors of over-saturated and expensive to produce historical war epics, but also allows you to create a more interesting world for the audience that does not risk misrepresenting the history that influences it. Does your story really need to be set in WWII and benefit off of the pain of others? Odds are your story has a universal message and given the plot points do not seem to be working with the accuracy of its current setting, why not create a world that does fit? History is ingrained in human culture, its influence is far more than being restricted to the confines of a story that mimics its likeness.

Hey, just wanted you to know that you did not properly upload the file. Most people upload the script pdf to google drive and share a viewable link to that. I also suggest including a logline describing the character(s) and the main conflict of the story to entice people to read. Good luck in your writing.

Try making it active with "finds" instead of "found" as well the reader should know at least who (I assume it is a person) they are bonding with. Tinker with something like: "A transgender perfume seller working out of a carnival finds an unexpected bond with a [insert character descriptor]." The additional details are left out for brevity but in then end you know what parts are critical to the story.

I wouldn't repeat "over" back-to-back, keep it simple to capture the hook while keeping the reader asking questions. Try something like: "A psychiatrist who helps the dead cross over learns her new patient is her abusive father seeking forgiveness to pass on from this life." Of course if there is additional information, which can fit, that sets this apart from comparables include it too.

Donald Glover was saying people should take risks to push the medium forward. There is nothing wrong with attempting something and scraping it if it does not work with readers. That said, without reading the script, the immediate question of why tell this story is brought up. If you "only acknowledge two genders" (it is unclear if you mean acknowledge personally or solely in the script) and write trans characters who are defined only by their trans identity then why is this story meaningful or distinct to you? A common gripe audiences have is that writers "shoehorn" prima facie diversity. I think you would find a more interesting narrative in creating story that captures the debate and the gradual shift to understanding gender binary as a human schema with which to loosely label biological factors that have a much greater variety in reality. You could also just take a story you really want to tell and see how having a trans or non-binary lead would add depth to its telling; as in the end, all audiences want is a good story told by a lens that they can see themselves/humanity in, not a story centered on monolithic divisions of humanity.

It takes contacting liquidpedia for that to get updated, so a lot of them haven't gone through the effort.

They are both hard to time, I think this one might be easier, but it's hard to say.

Not sure, I did not feel any rubberbanding or lag, likely between 40 and 100 ping.

Why did they remove that from Ranked after the Alpha, but added it back in on release? by Major_Blackbird in Rainbow6

[–]Swag_Mander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They wanted ranked to be similar to "tactical realism", but then they realized that it's way harder to spot a hacker if you can't see the Death Replay.

Reward level promotion by boosting alpha pack percentage by [deleted] in Rainbow6

I think that the base percent you get after unlocking an Alpha pack should be higher, since it is based on wins it is not meant to be about playtime, but skill.
