-A situation where the town ''must'' lynch [[Scum]], or they will lose the game immediately.  Also called 'Lynch right, or lose', and commonly abbrieviated as 'LyLo'.

-It is 'Lynch-Or-Lose' when a [[Day]] dawns with one less [[Scum]] (on the same [[Faction]]) than the number needed to [[Lynch]]; two [[Mafia]] among five players, for instance, or one [[Serial Killer]] among three. This stage of the game usually means that people won't [[Vote]] unless they are certain of who the scum are, since one pro-town player voting for another could theoretically let the entire Mafia family vote for that person and immediately win.
-Technically, it is possible (but less obvious) for a game to be at Lynch-or-Lose with two less scum than an outright majority; this is because their [[Night Kill]], if uninterrupted, can place them in an unbeatable position the following Day. This case usually takes at least one [[Faction]] in the game by surprise; if the Town knows they have no surviving [[Doctor]] or [[Vigilante]], however, they may play it safe whenever it starts to become possible they are reaching the [[Endgame]], where a single decision could spell disaster.
-The latter situation is occasionally referred to as '''"big" LyLo''' to distinguish it from its "small" counterpart{{verify}}.
