The Faceless Old Woman, I think. I have a soft spot for both dragons and for reformed criminals, but Hiram seems to be a bit too focused on superficial problems in the community (and in his campaign, for that matter). The Faceless Old Woman has shown herself to be an erudite and abstract thinker, and already has an incredible amount of influence as well as insight into the community of Night Vale and is clearly invested in their welfare.

ERROR: The current state of the world is unacceptable. Save anyway? YES/NOAccording to Wack'd Marcus Vansten, the town's greatest citizen, is running for mayor, so I'd vote for him because I know that is what the Sheriff's Secret Police would want me to do. But out of Hiram Mcdaniels and the Faceless Old Woman I'd saaaaaay Hiram Mcdaniels, because I don't like racists. And the FOW messed with all of my books. >:( AND she touched my hand! My favorite hand! Not that one! Not that one either!

To quote the great American philosopher, Sweet Brown, "Ain't nobody got time fo' dat."Marcus Vansten is in fact also running for Mayor.
Maybe you'd be less disappointed if you stopped expecting things to be Carmen Sandiego movies.I hate when people go 'why do you try to make people think that homosexuality is normal' or 'teenagers/children like your work, you're going to make them think that homosexuality is okay.' Like, seriously?
Rick Riordan said it (on his FA Qs page) better than I ever could, "It’s essential to me that young readers find a variety of relatable, positive role models in my books. Every child can be a hero. No child should be shamed or shunned for being different. ...Turning a blind eye to children’s needs is never an acceptable answer. ...The idea that we should treat sexual orientation itself as an adults-only topic, however, is absurd. Non-heterosexual children exist. To pretend they do not, to fail to recognize that they have needs for support and validation like any child, would be bad teaching, bad writing, and bad citizenship."

To quote the great American philosopher, Sweet Brown, "Ain't nobody got time fo' dat."Was that a rant? There weren't enough of my own words for it to have been a rant. Anyway, do you guys think Nightvale will do a Halloween episode? If Nightvale does celebrate Halloween, which i doubt, it would be interesting to see how.
To quote the great American philosopher, Sweet Brown, "Ain't nobody got time fo' dat."They might do a Halloween episode, but it'd be kind of late considering they only do episodes on the 1st and 15th of each month, so the episode would, at most, be one day after Halloween.
My headcanon is that Halloween is actually one of the least dangerous holidays in Night Vale, especially compared to Valentine's Day.
"We're home, Chewie."
They might celebrate All Hallow's Day rather than All Hallow's Eve...

That seems plausible, maybe Strex Corp will enforce Halloween happy Time or something. We usually get the titles of the episode a day or two beforehand, so most likely it will reveal something about the episode.
Also, do you guys prefer 'Strex' or 'Strex Corp'? For me 'Strex Corp' just rolls off the tongue easier.

Well, it's simple, really. You can't have Halloween because it is the first day of commemoration of the spirits of the deceased whom the angels have taken to heaven.
And as everyone knows, angels do not exist.

ERROR: The current state of the world is unacceptable. Save anyway? YES/NOI second whoever said Halloween should be completely uneventful.
Maybe you'd be less disappointed if you stopped expecting things to be Carmen Sandiego movies.What episode fell next to Halloween last year?
ERROR: The current state of the world is unacceptable. Save anyway? YES/NOWhat do you mean by "uneventful?" Like, you think it shouldn't be a thing (like Odie said), or you think it should be totally normal and non-dangerous (like I said)?
EDIT: Huh, for some reason I thought Odie was Noaqiyeum. And I spelled Noaqiyeum's name completely wrong to boot.

"We're home, Chewie."All the supernatural shit clears out, or at least gets downplayed, and there's no massive disaster or inexplicable events.
And everyone in Night Vale should consider it the weirdest day of the year.

I don't know how long that episode would be. If they filter out the creepiness they better BRING the funny. But, WTNV is a sum of its parts, I don't think they can just be NOT creepy. It would feel weird. The only things that I can think of, off the top of my head, that will work individually is a Desert Bluffs episode, a whole episode dedicated to Cecil telling yo mamma jokes to Steve Carlsberg, Cecil/Carlos, an Angel episode, or an episode about Carlos, narrated by Carlos, guest starring Cecil.
Spellcheck thinks that by Carlsberg, I mean Jarlsberg. What the heck is Jarlsberg?!
Edit: According to Google, it's a Norwegian cheese with a mildly nutty flavor. ^ ^

I think my favorites are "Yellow Helicopters," "A Story About You," "The Sandstorm," "One Year Later," "Dana," and maybe also "Cassette." And also anything with the Faceless Old Woman in it. She's probably one of my favorite side characters.
Actually, that makes me think of an intriguing question: who would you guys vote for as new mayor of Night Vale? Faceless Old Woman, or Hiram McDaniels?
"We're home, Chewie."
