    I actually don't see why Edcrab would be put into the narration, if that means we're going to immediately vote him out.

    I was going to suggest that maybe it meant he was the victim of a failed freeze ray attack (needed to warm up a little?), but Wildcat bit the bullet on that one, apparently. =/

    See, I considered that, but I took the freeze ray for a sort of time-stopper (stasis device or whatever) rather than anything cold-related. Unless I'm very very wrong about that.

    Whoops! I meant ice beam from Johnny Snow. Mentioned briefly in the first act.

    Edit: Actually, let's be honest. I thought freeze beam meant ice beam. I was trying to save face. But I fail. =(

    Ohh, Johnny Snow. Yeah, I guess he's a cold-themed baddie, at least going by Dr. Horrible's mocking of him.

    In other words, if Johnny Snow's shennanigans got me mentioned in narration and thus voted off by our (admittedly tiny) villager population, someone is gettin' grudged.

    That sounds to me like something Johnny Snow would say. I mean, he can't be all that bright if he's not even villianous enough to be Dr. Horrible's nemesis. Accusing other people of being himself... that's exactly what a cold-themed wannabe with little imagination would do.

    I doubt that Edcrab's at fault, he's just an unlucky target.

    I'll vote !kuhlmeye for the time being.

    It is rather unlikely that Johnny Snow would be revealed in the narration, so I'll !retract Edcrab and !vote Law.

    I thought Johnny Snow was a hero? Aside from that is there anyone you can think of that might grudge you/or slightly grudge you?

    My win is really simple. So maybe hes right in regards to specials?

    I say that simply because I'm considered "neutral" with no win condition listed. Aka, it must be that all I'm expected to do is survive, and all I can do is survive, but the added presence of Billy/Dr. Horrible and Captain Hammer tells me we have more than a village and vigilante split going on here. Unless I'm unique in being neutral, woo!

    Also, I honestly don't know what Johnny Snow was supposed to be either. I always thought he was like a rival mad scientist type for Horrible.

    I don't really know what to think. Edcrab is saying he's some neutral, but this could be a lie or a cover up to being a baddie. I'll probably change my vote back on to him later, but I've always said that I believe talking is very good.

    I thought Johnny Snow was a hero. A bad guys nemesis would be a hero, right? If he was a a villain he'd be more like a rival to Dr. Horrible and not a nemesis. Right?

    Well, remember that Dr. Horrible points out that he's most definitely not his nemesis, so he could be anything.

    Even if the guy is a hero in the context of the Phalla, it doesn't rule out that he/some other icy guy blasted me with a chilly effect as their first action.

    Maybe Johnny Snow's win condition is to take Moist out, and vice versa?

    Edit: I've figured out how I'm going to vote. Whoever makes post #234 will get my vote (unless something dramatic happens).

    no powers in that he might be a detriment? or no powers in that all he can do is vote?

    This is what happens to civil servants that can't kill people or at least identify them. We encounter fists, that may or may not be holding a pen.

    Wait... so we're voting to kill a neutral because he's not useful, as opposed to [voting for someone else - whoever does post #234, say] potentially killing a mafia member? =/

    Edit: Brackets to clarify meaning.

    I think it's because Rainfall thinks he might be lying, and the neutral role he claimed does not help the village.

    Precisely. He's confirmed that his goal is NOT to help us survive. Due to this, it is impossible to trust him if he claims to have powers or not. Also, he claimed a role that somebody else already claimed. Somebody with a MUCH more believable claim, I might add.

    If you're not with the Hammer, then you're with the Evil League of Evil.

    Well reasoned arguments. But Egos got the coveted post #234. =/

    Do I stand by my previous statement, or be swayed by real arguments?

    Well, good arguments are rare in Phalla, so... you win this round, Rainfall. You, unfortunately, do not, Edcrab.

    However, I note that kuhlmeye, Maximus, Thetheroo and weatheredclown are currently tied for second with one vote each. I like breaking ties.
