A '''[[Governor]]''' is a role that can stop an [[elimination]]. This is done by PMing the mod during Twilight to stop the elimination. Many moderators will extend Twilight substantially so as to allow the Governor ample time to make a decision. If the Governor stops an elimination, the Day ends with no one getting eliminated. | |||

Many moderators will accept early decisions to stay or allow the elimination, so the extended Twilight is not necessarily mandatory. It may even be preferable, as Governor is one of only a few roles that require an extended Twilight. | |||

Variations on this role change when the Governor submits their action. For instance, a Governor can submit a name at Night in order to make that player a [[Diplomat]] during the next Day. Alternatively, the Governor can submit the name of a player whose elimination they would want to halt during that Day, but cannot change their submission later that same Day. | Variations on this role change when the Governor submits their action.

| Use = Town Governors are frequently seen as [[Negative Utility]], as stopping the elimination denies a flip to the majority of the Town. Their main use is in stopping the elimination at [[ELo]], hopefully catching [[Quickhammer|quickhammering]] scum - but then, this is such a way of causing all of the living scum to out themselves that this tactic may be banned. | |||

Mafia Governors are overpowered in normal circumstances for obvious reasons - they can delay the elimination of a scumpartner for a Day, getting the full benefits of having that partner alive for an extra Night. However, scum-side Governors only tend to appear in games where there are plenty of other ways to render someone dead aside from the elimination.}} | |||
