No more than two questions on the same topic. Last time, the questions worked well because all three were about the same thing. The third question helped to identify the role; if there are only two, it's less likely that the role will be revealed.

Not all three, but 2.
The beauty of this limitation of two identical questions is that, with certain pieces of information, you can find out the side, for example, by asking the question "Have you been blocked?", when the fact of the block has already been mentioned in the newspaper.

There were questions like: are you from the city? are you a member of the Mafia? do you serve Argath? All three questions were about allegiance, and they clearly identified which side you were on.

I mean that two questions essentially mean the same thing – Are you Mafia? Are you serving Argate? (Are you Mafia?) There’s no need to prohibit asking about a player’s allegiance if the questions are different; it will significantly weaken the journalist.

In short, I'm banning questions that are just rephrased versions of previous ones.

Is this option possible?

1. Is this Mafia game about Olden Era?
2. Are you Mafia?
3. Is the GM's name Shaman?

A good option. However, if I were the GM, I would phrase these questions in such a way that their original meaning would reach the person being questioned, at best.
А, вот почему.

I don't know what happened in the previous Mafia game, but remembering the Mafia game by Koshi, where the journalist actually appeared, I think, wouldn't it be easier, instead of imposing restrictions on questions, to pull a clever trick and not announce the name of the person being questioned, replacing it with a clue, such as their profile picture?

No, questions whose answers are already known to everyone should be prohibited.:smile51:

I can assume that the meaning of the questions would reach not only the person being questioned, but also all those who were questioned earlier. In the previous game, the journalist asked everyone the same questions.

I can't say for sure, but I think there was a restriction in one of the games to avoid asking the same thing to everyone.
Clues on the profile are good; let the GM come up with them, otherwise, it turned into a mess in my first game.

The third question isn't precise enough to prevent the person being questioned from lying. They could answer no and still be right in their own way ;). But yes, we need to think about what to do with the Journalist so they don't become overpowered.

You can't ask questions with obvious answers or synonymous questions. I think this restriction won't weaken the Journalist, but it will protect against the main flaws of this role.

You understand that I wrote this quickly, and the journalist will have much more time, right? So, he will write your nickname correctly.

How about this option: instead of the interviewee's nickname, the clues are placed on their profile?
There's also the option "The GM reserves the right not to accept the journalist's questions," but I don't like it. It seems like changing the rules mid-game.

To be honest, I don't really want to make the task more difficult by adding extra clues; there will already be quite a few, and the quality of those clues will also affect the game. If there are too many, I might mess up their quality...

And I didn't just add the caveat about obviousness for no reason; my nickname is obvious to everyone. The name of the game is also obvious. Many other similar things are likely to be obvious as well.

You can't ask questions whose truthfulness is obvious.
Hmm... Better like this:
You can't ask questions whose truth or falsehood is obvious.
Otherwise, someone might ask, "Is the GM's name Snowman?". :D:D:D
