1. In werewolf-themed games, the “Alpha Werewolf” is a werewolf who investigates as town. peeker has claimed that if he is ensinned, he still investigates as Town, which would make him an Alpha Sinner, I guess

2. Ly/Lo is “lynch or lose”. This is the point where the Town must lynch scum, or they lose. The town reaches that point where there are 2 or fewer more townies than scum. In this game, if there are 4 Blackhearts then there are 5 non-Blackhearts. If we lynch a non-Blackheart in that scenario, the Blackhearts gain control of the vote and win.

If there are 3 Blackhearts, then there are 6 non-Blackhearts, and the Town will lose if they lynch 2 more non-Blackhearts.

1. I posted my role PM on the previous page.
