I never got very far with my tool-that-is-similar-to-this, but I thought about some of this. I don't believe there is a single definitive way to say who's dead. One can take a guess based on the fact that the person who starts the thread must be the mod, and the mod will usually have both posted a 'morning, alice is dead' post and maintain a list of players in the first post - most of that is probably fairly parseable if you made it resilient to occasional weirdness. 'Lynched Day [1-9]' is fairly easy, weird killing methods (f.e. first post of
Fritz Fest) could probably be found by looking for 'Bob ... night 3'. An interesting direction is simply to figure out who is still alive based on who posts (more than once) after night (or one could detect 'bah!' posts
). You could certainly use that for doublechecking.
p.s. Adel, Khelv: I have looked at the source briefly, and I would be comfortable running it on my computer.
