U.S. Governors Mafia Endgame

Barney - You are Greg Abbott from The Lone Star State of Texas. In 2014, after the retirement of longtime Governor Rick Perry, you defeated abortion barbie Wendy Davis. While Beto O’Rourke came within 3% of defeating Senator Ted Cruz in 2018, you easily defeated Lupe Valdez by more than 10% in 2018. Just recently, you handed Robert Francis O’Rourke his second defeat, winning by 11%. One of the biggest issues in Texas this last cycle was ERCOT aka the state electric grid after the massive freezes in 2021 and 2022. Luckily, you solved this problem as seen most recently in 2023, yet you still got unfair criticism. They blame you for climate change caused by the oil and gas energy, but call you out because of the power grid. Thus, you are the Mafia Freezer. Each Night, you may select a player. This will cause two effects, one of them delayed. The night on which the action is used the target will be frozen in place and will be roleblocked. On the following night the target will still be dethawing, causing the target to be unable to be protected. You win with the Mafia.

Wylted - You are Jay Inslee from The Evergreen State of Washington. Washington State is a very liberal state at the federal level, but at the state level, it has been historically close. Well, up until you came along. Ever since your election, you have been the predominant advocate for clean energy, even co-authoring a book called Apollo's Fire: Igniting America's Clean Energy Economy. You even want to ban gasoline-powered cars by 2035 in exchange for electric and other types of vehicles. It’s actually dumb, but I don’t expect anything more from a Washington State Democrat, especially after Tiffany Smiley losing to Patty Murray. Oh, I also forgot to mention that you pull the no you when Donald Trump criticized you for the autonomous zone during the George Floyd riots, aka CHAZ/CHOP. Thus, you are the Mafia Electrician. If you are ever investigated, the investigator’s action will fail and you will learn the role of the investigator. You win with the Mafia.

Whiteflame - You are Phil Scott from The Green Mountain State of Vermont. Vermont is one of two states in the nation that hold elections for governor every two years. You are probably the most liberal Republican in the entire nation, but it makes sense since you do represent Vermont. In my eyes, still a RINO though. Stick to governing your state rather than criticizing Donald Trump. You are literally irrelevant when it comes to Governors, but you have a unique capacity to get legislation passed through the Democratic Vermont legislature. You have your own brand, and it is a damn good one at that with a lot of power. Therefore, you are the Super JOAT. You have the following abilities: 1x Framer, 1x Lawyer, 1x Scout, 1x Stalker, 1x  Strongarm, 1x Janitor, 1x Lookout, 1x Ninja. You win with the Mafia.

———————————————————————————

Greyparrot - You are Tony Evers from The Badger State of Wisconsin. In 2018, you defeated the leader of the Wisconsin GOP in the form of incumbent Governor Scott Walker. Yes, the man who won in 2010, defeated the recall attempt in 2012, and won re-election 2014 lost to you. Even in 2022, a strongly GOP midterm, you defeated Tim Michels to win a second term. I think you won because of your ties to Wisconsinites. For every year since you became governor, you have visited all 72 counties in Wisconsin, which is a remarkable feat. As a result, you are the Compulsive Visitor. Each Night, you must target a player. Assuming no interference with your action, you will visit them (which has no actual effect). You win with the Town.

Austin - You are Joe Lombardo from The Silver State of Nevada. Congratulations on your inauguration! You just defeated incumbent Governor Steve Sisolak making you the only GOP candidate to pick up a governorship in the nation. This was likely thanks to your tenure as the Sheriff of Clark County, the most populous county in Nevada. You won just enough Democrats to keep the margin low in Clark County and Washoe County to win. Let’s see how well you do in 2026 because that will be the true test. Therefore, you are the Sheriff. Each Night, you may investigate a player to learn their alignment. Because you were the only GOP governor candidate to flip a seat, one night where you do not investigate, you may shoot a player. However, if you use your shot, you will lose your investigative powers because you won the race and resigned as the Sheriff. You win with the Town.

RationalMadman - You are Mike DeWine from The Buckeye State of Ohio. Ohioans rewarded you with a second term in 2022. You easily beat your challenged Nan Whaley winning ancestrally democratic Mahoning County by 30%. Electorally, your politics run deep through the state of Ohio. In 1982, you won a U.S. House seat. Later on in 1994, you won a U.S. Senate seat in the state of Ohio, which you ended up losing to current Senator Sherrod Brown. After that, you ran for State Attorney General in 2010 and won, followed by a run for Governor in which you beat Richard Cordray by 4%. Because of these reasons, you are the Senator. You start the game with -3 votes on them meaning that it will take 3 votes over the majority to lynch you. This value will increase by +1 each time a player is eliminated to a maximum of +1, meaning it takes one less vote than the majority to lynch you. All effects go away when the game is at MYLO, but you will not know when that is. You win with the Town.

Badger - You are Kay Ivey from The Yellowhammer State of Alabama. You got re-elected with amazing numbers. You literally came within 2 points of flipping Birmingham county red. Yes, that’s right, the city where Martin Luther King Jr. was arrested and put in jail. Ironically, you put on blackface in college nearly 50 years ago as part of a college skit. Liberals criticized you, but the times were different. It is unfair to criticize you for doing something dumb in college, especially in a time where it was socially acceptable to do so. Everyone thinks you’re some massive racist and the Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, but as Joe Biden would say, c’mon mon. She’s a great fit for the state and fights to protect minors from unknowingly ruining their lives by cutting off their genitals. Therefore, you are the 2x White Mage. Each Night, you may select a player. That player will be protected the night you select them, as well as the following night. You win with the Town.

SupaDudz - You are Ron DeSantis from The Sunshine State of Florida. Many within the Grand Old Party want you to run for President to stop Donald Trump. A lot of people think you are Donald Trump without the baggage, but you are still unproven when it comes to foreign policy. You could be a neocon for all I know. Anyways, you are really good at getting what you want. We saw during redistricting that you defied the GOP legislature map and pushed your own extreme map abolishing the district running from Tallahassee to Jacksonville. The legislature acquiesced and the map survived court challenges. Most recently, you defied College Board and the Democrats by refusing to implement AP African American History because of content relating to queer theory and slave reparations. Eventually the College Board took some of the topics out. Because of this and your massive victory in 2022, you are the 1x Governor. Once during the game, you may choose to reverse the will of the majority of the town and nullify the lynching of a player. To do this, you must message me within 4 hours of a candidate getting the final vote required to lynch. You win with the Town.

SirAnonymous - You are Kim Reynolds from The Hawkeye State of Iowa. Just recently, you were on the news because you signed a new school choice bill in Iowa. Congratulations! You were the Lieutenant Governor of Terry Branstad, the longest serving Governor in United States history. After he accepted an ambassadorship to China under the Trump administration, you ascended to the position of Governor. Your first test came in 2018 when you narrowly defeated Fred Hubbell by only 3%. It was a Democratic year though, so we cannot blame you that much. Most recently in 2022 though, you easily defeated your opponent Deidre DeJear by 18%. Clearly, you watched your predecessor and learned from the best. Since Iowa does not have term limits, let us see how much more you win. Because of this, you are the 2x Tracker. Each Night, you may select a player. You will learn who that person visited. You win with the Town.

That2User - You are Gavin Newsom from The Golden State. As it turns out, you are a rich snob who partied while your constituents were forced to cower down in their homes. What a hypocrite. Now you want to run for President? Give me a break, it makes no sense, and you would get clobbered as a California elite just like Kamala Harris. Electorally you’re decent, but that’s just because of liberal cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco where people go number two on the streets and use drugs out in the open. You are insanely lucky that you are in California, which is the home of modern day liberalism. I honestly hope you run for President so you get humbled at the national level by Trump or DeSantis. What a disgrace. You are the Miller. If an investigator uses their power on you, you will appear mafia aligned or guilty. You win with the Town.
