There is an old trick once used in reformatories, detention halls, brigs, hoosegows and chain gangs across the land. They would take the biggest troublemakers in the gang and give them a position of authority. These guys would then almost invariably become very strict and conscientious overseers since what their rebelliousness had always indicated in the first place was a need for attention. Once they became authority figures, that need was channeled into their new status as boss men. With that concept in mind, it would obviously be wise to make Growler and Alpha into moderators. The place would then be run with iron hands and the lesser unrulies would soon be slapped into shape.
The place would be transformed over night, and Alpha and Growler would likely become useful citizens even beyond the borders of Egriz.
An interesting side note is that this stratagem would never work in similar situations with women because … well, who the hell knows.
