Entry tags:
Nomination queries
Nominations continue until 29 June!
First up, when nominating, please follow the nomination guidelines, including the disambiguation at the end of the tag.
Secondly, I have nominations for The Last of Us and The Last of Us Part I. I know that Part II came out a couple of days ago - how do you want to do this?
Thirdly, I'd like to know in terms of Assassin's Creed whether it should be split or grouped together. If it is to be split, how should it be split?
Finally, I have a nomination for Pokemon - AMT with nominations for Black and White, X and Y, and Sword and Shield. Are these all in continuity with one another?
Queries remain open until the the 27th, so please if you have a view about issues 2 and 3, let me know. Anonymous comments are screened unless your AO3 name is included in the comment, but I do read all comments.

Assassin's Creed
The only ones I would argue for combining are the Ezio Trilogy, since those three games do share characters in both the animus and modern storylines. Or the Heritage Collection (The Ezio Trilogy & AC1 & AC3) since those games are the ones where the modern storyline had a storyline with Desmond.
So I would say split:
Early games:
Option 1) All as one collection containing AC1, AC2, Brotherhood, Relevations, and AC3.
Option 2)AC1
Ezio Trilogy
AC3
The rest of the games:
All split. Only two of these even share a modern character and otherwise the only link is bloodline based and easter eggs.

(Anonymous) 2020-06-21 05:59 am (UTC)(link)My personal opinion is to just keep everything under "The Last of Us Parts 1 & 2" like "Final Fantasy X & X-2" are. If people don't want spoilers from Part 2, they can always put it in their optional detail box.

And then yeah, if you have someone who wants to offer and/or request for both, that's two slots and kind of sucky. I'm not sure if there would be more people offering if the two were split as opposed to merged :\ but I'm completely fine if the two are split for the sake of preventing spoilers on both ends for this year. Also fine if they do get merged - I just won't be offering or requesting it unless I finish the game in time (and considering it just came out and I'm not keen on rushing it... D:).
Which all of this has me thinking... is this the first time this has popped up? Like a sequel coming out right when nominations happen and figuring out whether to merge or separate? Usually if it's a single game, I'm of the mindset of "well, don't touch it until I've finished it," but I'm curious if this has been dealt with in previous years.

All Media Types would include the anime and various manga series as well as the main games and spin-off games, so that's probably not the best choice. All the worlds are very different, and many characters with the same name and general appearance but drastically different stories and personalities appear across the franchise.
All the main series sets of games are pretty self-contained (though the Gold/Silver games directly continue the story of the Red/Blue games, same with Black/White and Black2/White2) but they are all roughly in continuity with each other. There are some alternate universe niggles with the remakes, especially Alpha Sapphire/Omega Ruby, but characters from previous games frequently make cameos in later games, and the regions and sometimes the events from previous games also get mentioned.
I would probably go with the "Pokemon (Main Video Game Series)" tag unless someone else has strong feelings about breaking it into each set of games.
