And what exactly is broken about it?

And Revan is a guy who constantly changes his nicknames; he already has a whole wall of fame in his profile. So, I wouldn't recommend getting used to his current nickname.
Although, it seems like he was recognized during the game itself.

Tell me about the survey formula. I liked the mechanic, but it's still difficult to estimate the proportions for a balanced game.

No need for a journalist. I don't want to come up with questions or answer them. I just want to relax and do nothing.

yes, the journalist is not very good.

I've never included journalists in my settings, but I understand the appeal of this role.
I can't offer any advice on balancing.

I agree with the people above; the mechanics of this role might be fine, but the balance seems off every time.
With three questions, at least. It excessively narrows down the roles for the player being questioned. In one of my mafia games (like in "Brave New World"), I came across a survey with two questions, but I don't remember what it practically led to.

The survey gives the lazy town more information than the Mafia. Therefore, I think it is fair to leave the role of the surveyor as it is, but to establish a rule that if he comes to the Thief, he dies, regardless of whether the Thief or his team has spent their kill limit for that night. We all know from movies and TV shows that a good journalist always takes risks in pursuit of a story.
And if he just goes around bothering people, as he did in the previous game against me, then no thanks.

By the way, I just want to understand. What happens if a person doesn't answer the GM's survey? For example, I send out a Night Watch the next night, and suddenly I get a survey directed at me, but for some reason, I can't respond; the night's limit has passed, the GM is waiting for me to answer the survey, but I can't. Does the person who doesn't answer get a modkill or a nerf to their abilities? Or does the Night Watch survey simply not go through, and the journalist is left with a wasted night? What prevents the person being surveyed from completely ignoring the survey in such a case, pretending that they weren't online? And if they really weren't, will they receive some kind of penalty for no reason? No matter how you look at it, the mechanic is flawed; someone risks getting screwed over in various situations.

If polls are always published in newspapers, with the nickname of the player being polled indicated, then the penalty for being targeted by the Mafia has a chance to give already polled players a 100% alibi. Of course, it may always be the case that the Mafia was already planning to kill the player being polled or, for some other reason, failed in their attempt, but even so, the role of the killed player may become clear from the GM's description.

What prevents the surveyed player from simply ignoring the survey completely, pretending they weren't online? And if they really weren't online, will they receive some kind of penalty for no reason?

As we all know from movies and TV shows, a good journalist always takes risks in pursuit of a story.
and sometimes a romantic relationship develops between them, and then the journalist joins them, or the gangster leaves his old life behind for her.

Of course, it may always be the case that the Mafia was going to kill the person conducting the poll anyway, or, for some other reason, failed to carry out the kill, but even so, the role of the killed player may become clear from the GM's description.
When we received the results of your poll from Tox, we spent a very long time deciding who to poll and with what specific questions, and in the end, when we sent it, the GM warned us that if the polled player did not have time to answer, the journalist's ability would be wasted.
