Mafia

As Governor of this fair state of California, I decree that there shall be no executions this night.

No deaths this night either. It is my will.

Also, have the servants prepare a steak. Medium-rare.

I know that. But I want to expand the powers of my office and big government.

I'm the Governor, I expect better than that!

Also, how much gold do we have? In bars? Its high time this fine State had a golden statue of their beloved Governor.

Unfortunately, the bureaucracy has evolved to the point to where you're only the governor of the town, while there is a governor of the government whom you must appeal to. It's your own fault for expanding the size and scope of the government.

In that case I'd like to secede from the current big government and form my own big government. Only this time I'm in charge.

As for the statue, excellent news!

I have established my new government. Time to begin issuing edicts.

I'd like the following broadcast in the main thread:

By order of the Governor, henceforth known as Your Overlord His Highness, littering within a two mile radius of the Governor's Mansion is punishable by death without the possibility of parole.

How could you call me insane! I'll show you insane! Just you wait!

I ask that the day round be opened with the following edict, effective immediately.

By order of Your Overlord His Highness, the town will begin stockpiling food in the Governor's Mansion. The cop will be by shortly to liberate your food supplies.

Also, should I die this night or any other, please let the poor citizens know that I've taken some liberties with their savings in the bank. Specifically, they have no savings in the bank anymore.

UNLIMITED POWAAAAAAAAAAH

Town doesn't seem to be doing well this game... no real leads on day 3... not sure if cop is alive... really not sure on ANY role claims. No telling what the mafia killed night 1.

New private edict, not to be posted: Failing to post governor's edicts (provided said edicts do not effect the mafia game, such as confirming my role-claim) punishable by loss of ALL mafia points. Lost mafia points will be awarded to Your Overlord His Highness.

I'm going to bed... but IF the executioner threshold is reached for ME (not Dragon) before I can wake up I would use my Governor power to stop all day killings.

Since I can't be on all day monitoring things, I'd like to continue my previous 'if'. Once 5 votes are reached for me my power will be used to stop all day killings.

Woooo memo drafting time!

Perhaps I could force them. 'Either vote Hezekiah or I'll prevent anyone from dying.'

Decisions decisions...

Also, on the off chance I die this night in revenge for Dragon/Hezekiah suspicions, do remember to let the town know about their savings accounts...

For the record (anyone reading this after the game) the post about forcing a vote for Hezekiah was a possible strategy for the upcoming Day 6, not the vote on Dragon.

By order of Your Overlord His Highness, the town will assemble each night in the town square to worship the Golden Statue at sundown.

Also, if Feral reaches the required 6 votes I wish to stop all day killings.

The only acceptable deaths this round are Hezekiah, Zanic, or CTR Black. I'm certain the remaining mafia are in that bunch.

I will stop all day killings if anyone other than Zanic, CTR Black, or Hezekiah would die (6 votes).

I'm either going to be the best governor ever or the worst governor ever depending on this vote...

Also, by executive order, Hezekiah is to be executed by the Governor (referred to as the Governor) with the use of a broadsword.

I pushed for his execution and I want it done personally!

Governor's Journal, Night 6:

Having saved Feral from the town, I took aim at Hezekiah. The Cop's investigation the previous day (which incidentally confirmed my own suspicions of Dragon) had allowed the murderous Hezekiah to escape punishment, but I would not allow him a second reprieve from justice.

With Hezekiah's death, I have played an important role in the demise of two mafia. Now, only one remains - the Godfather. With Feral protecting our Cop, it seems unlikely that the target will be anyone but myself. A revenge killing for the Godfather's associates I helped bring down.

I returned to the Governor's Mansion following the ritual decapitation of Hezekiah. The servants have locked the doors, and I have barricaded myself in the study. The curtains are drawn, and the only source of light is the fire crackling behind me. I sit in my most comfortable arm chair, a glass of my favorite in one hand and my shotgun across my lap. If the Godfather dares come for me, I'll not go quietly.
