We didnt have a Gov, Brett was third party and had a 1 shot gov ability because he was an unlyncher, presumably in an attempt to balance his role and give him a better chance. If I was a VT/Lyncher, which I am not, and which I doubt is even in the game due to having an unlyncher with Gov abilities, the game would still continue on the same as if the Jester was lynched, with a hollow technical win for the person involved and the real game continuing to go on. It would also be very bad for the town, if there was a VT/Lyncher who had another Town target since it would essentially mean that you would have mafia, 3rd parties and now a townie gunning for a townie throughout the game.
I hit Brett right in the feels.
