Just what came to mind, feel free to disagree and discard.

Glossary:

Analysis: The systematic investigation of a player, kill, or voting. Differs from a summary by being rich in observations, opinions, and conclusions.

Bolding of names: The practice of bolding all player names occurring in your post. Not a rule, but very common, since it improves a post's readability (and "skimability").

Day One: First Day of the game. Lacking the information provided by previous kills and lynches, Day One is regarded by many as random and not very useful. This is debated, however.

Known innocent/wolf/etc.: A player whose role has been revealed, usually by a known seer. Players with known roles frequently have quite a limited life expectancy.

Modfire: Ejection of a player from a game, usually due to prolonged absence.

Multiple Lynching: Happens when the mod rules that a voting tie is not broken. All players (sometimes limited to two) that received the maximum number of votes die.

Submarine: Quiet player who is overlooked by the majority.

Summary: Synopsis of information available about a certain player, kill, or voting. Differs from an analysis by missing the poster's individual opinions.

Under the radar: Player(s) that has/have largely escaped another player's attention.

Vote Count: A list of votes cast on a Day up to the point of posting.

Roles:

Assassin
Alignment: Good. Counts for the village in the tally. Wins if number of wolves becomes equal to that of villagers. Special abilities: can kill another player, typically either once a Night/Day or once during the game at a time of the assassin's choosing.
