I'd like to write a program similar to Malaprop's, which doesn't do much active analysis but provides you with the tools to do your own. I'm thinking you'd enter anything noteworthy into it (votes, FOSes, defenses, bad logic, claims, etc) along with other relevant factors (posting time, post length, vehemence of post, etc), and then be able to get feedback about various players.

So you'd be able to get various indexes of how pairings of players have acted towards each other in the game, or see who's starting bandwagons and who's perenially following them, who's quick to jump on bandwagons, etc. I'd like to think that you'd get noted bonds between the mafia that would be easy to miss browsing the thread for clues. Basically it'd be Malaprop's program but with some extra calculations with the info it provides :)

Of course like any logical analysis tool it'd be less useful the less logically the mafia are playing but, well, that's the game ;)
