Nominations Clarifications 3

[wbv2mod]

Navigation: Nominations Rules | Tagset Thanks again for all the nominations and for your help clarifying them! We have a few queries remaining as we tidy up the tag set.

---

僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia

• WB: Changes to the Pro Hero System — Could you clarify what sorts of changes you had in mind, please? Are these speculative changes, or changes in the past, or…?

Captain America (Movies)

• WB: Steve Rogers' relationship with the women in his life; WB: the Commandos' influence on post-WW2 America; WB: Theories about Cap and Sergeant Barnes' relationship over the years — nominator, could you please expand a little by what you meant by each of these topics? Were the Howling Commandos or Bucky Barnes famous, in-universe, after MCU's version of WWII? Whose theories are we talking about? For Steve Rogers' relationship with women, we're not sure if this covers a particular perspective on his sexuality, his socialization, or his ships, or any of these, or none..? There are definitely worldbuilding topics in here but we're not sure we're reading these as the same ones you meant.

Final Fantasy XIV

• WB: Keeping Up With the Galvii (family drama) & WB: Galvus Family Scandal — Nominator(s), if we don't hear back from you, we will approve both of these as the second tag. Please let us know if something else is meant!

Fear Street Trilogy (TV)

• WB: The Goode family deal (Fear Street Trilogy) — Nominator, if we don't hear back from you, we'll approve this as WB: The Goode Family Deal With Satan. Please let us know if that's incorrect!

Middle-earth - J. R. R. Tolkien

WB: Elves and Ainur in History (Middle-earth) — does this mean the relationships between these two peoples throughout history, or "I would like a story about either Elves or Ainur from further back in the past, either group is fine"? And in the latter case, what era does "history" cover?
• WB: Shadows of the Past (Middle-earth) — Nominator, what were you hoping to explore with this tag, please? Does it relate to the 2017 game Shadow of War?

魔道祖师 - 墨香铜臭 | Módào Zǔshī - Mòxiāng Tóngxiù

• WB: Rumors (MDZS) — Nominator, we're not sure what this covers. Could you clarify please?

琅琊榜 | Nirvana in Fire (TV)

• Are these the same topic? WB: Langya archive & WB: Langya Hall Information Technology and Services (Nirvana in Fire)? Nominators, if we don't hear back from you, we will keep the second one.

RWBY

• WB: Rouge Huntsmen/Huntresses (RWBY) — Nominator, if we don't hear back from you, we will approve this as Rogue. Please let us know if that's incorrect.

Star Trek

• WB: 101 Things Starfleet Members Are No Longer Allowed To Do (Star Trek Any) — this reads a bit like a prompt for a specific format. Would something like “WB: Starfleet rules and regulations governing unusual situations” work?
• WB: Starfleet guidelines re: what to do when your crewmate becomes LIKE A GOD (Star Trek Any) — we're not sure what canon scenarios this covers. Nominator, could you clarify what you were thinking here, please?

Thor (Movies)

• WB: What does Laufey believe happened to his son — Nominator, we're not sure we understand this tag - could you clarify what it covers, please?

Please also let us know about typos, duplicates, and concepts in the tag set that appear more than once with slightly different wording! Thank you.

I did not participate in nominations, but I assume the Star Trek tag about crewmates being Godlike refers to an episode from The Original Series where Kirk's friend and colleague Gary Mitchell develops psychic and telekinetic abilities and becomes tyrannical and convinced of his own godhood and an episode of Lower Decks where the first officer Jack Ransom is exposed to the same strange energy that Mitchell was and becomes similiarly powerful and autocratic (but describes Mitchell as being like an ant compared to him). There was also multiple episodes of Deep Space Nine where characters became possessed by Pah-wraithes, who are the enemies and former compatriots of the beings the Bajoran people worship, the Prophets. The TNG episode Masks where Data is possessed by, among thousands others, a personality called Ihat may also be relevant here? There is also a pastiche of Masks featured in Lower Decks. B'Elanna Torres' then-unborn daughter Miral Paris was also believed to be a pre-destined Klingon chosen one, the Kuvah'magh by a group of Klingons that the Voyager crew encountered on a generation ship in the Delta Quadrant, but I don't think this one fits this nomination.

Also Sisko himself and his relationship with the Prophets, Kes on Voyager, Amanda Grayson and Wesley Crusher if we’re counting becoming a being with power close enough to omnipotence to serve as a god from a human perspective…I suppose the nominator might need to clarify if they meant one of the more specific scenarios, but this certainly happens often enough for there to be some kind of entry in the Starfleet crew manual and/or Academy training about it.

Re: Star Trek noms

Hi, I nominated the two Star Trek WB tags. With the first, it was definitely in reference to the events listed by obstinatecondolement above across multiple series. I used the most general Star Trek media tag I could find because I didn't care which particular series, if any, the creator chose to tie it to. I did phrase it a bit jokey so maybe it would be clearer if we put it as "WB: Starfleet guidelines about what to do when someone gets godlike powers".

With the 101 things, my intent was to reference Skippy's List aka "213 Things Skippy Is No Longer Allowed To Do In the US Army." As the name suggests it's basically an old list of things a low-ranking soldier had to be told not to do, supposedly based on orders that the writer was either directly given or witnessed happen. There are also various fandom-flavored versions around. The worldbuilding would be whatever the in-universe equivalent in Starfleet might be. Maybe instead something like "WB: Starfleet equivalent of Skippy's List" or would that still be too prompt-like or require research? If it is, I'm fine to drop it.

Thanks! (Can we get your noms page link?)

We'll accept WB: Starfleet guidelines about what to do when someone gets godlike powers. As to the other, that's really too prompt-like in either case. We can change it to WB: Starfleet rules and regulations governing unusual situations, and you can prompt for a Skippy's List type thing, but you might receive something else. Please let us know!

As for the series, this exchange allows general series and subseries to be nominated separately, and this nomination was made for just plain Star Trek. A participant could prompt for this tag to be applied to a particular series, but might not receive that particular series.

That works.
