In listening to some of the discussions at the tables I have heard the phrase "making pre-game alliances transparent". Ryan probably has enough data to make this possible.

There are two characteristics of pretrucers that should make them detectable from their stats.

First, to be effective pre-trucers, they have to sit at the same table. So for all pairs of players eligible to sit at a particular class of table, pre-trucers will have a higher frequency of co-sit-ins than other pairs of players at the same level of table. Ryan can detect these with a "sociogram" of all player pairings.

Second, pre-trucers are less likely to attack each other than non-pre-trucers in the same game. Thus, for all player pairs, pretrucers will have fewer attacks against each other per co-sit-in than other pairs of players that are not pretruced.

For seven players at a table, there are 2,520 possible pairs (or is it 1,125?). It shouldn't be too hard for Ryan to write a program that calculates the co-sit-in and co-attack rate for the pairs and mark the ones that are likely pretrucers.
