I'd say two questions per day would be fair.. it wouldn't be as specific as investigating, but three questions is too much, so two would be good.

How does the detective work exactly?

the same way as the SK or the Mafia?

put a name out to the GM* and get results?

*GM = game master - for lack of knowing what to call the guy in charge

Yeah, the detective PMs the host the person he wants to investigate, and gets a reply after the voting of that night...

What balances the cop is the fact that the Godfathers are immune from his investigations.  The cop was nearly ineffectual in this game and was extremely lucky to not have gotten killed later in the game.  Also, the townies were fortunate that PIAC was knocked off by BnM.  Imagine if it was Pale BnM had killed instead?  Totally different game, no?

No one is too powerful.  Like all good games is a mixture of luck and strategy.  The most powerful person in this game was Bill; and he was just a townie.

Te other balancing point, I would imagine, is that only the detective knows for sure who the detective is.

Yeah, I spent the whole game thinking I was gonna be randomly picked off.  And the Godfathers come back as townies thing kept me from revealing myself until the end of day 4 I believe, when both Godfathers died.  This is because up to that point, everyone I investigated came back townie so any of them could have been the godfather.  Reveal myself to the godfather and I'd be dead the next day.

It may seem unbalanced from your perspective, but after actually being the cop and being frustrated at my complete inability to affect the game early on, I would disagree.  Like I said before, I really only helped kill 1 person.  And using my own intuition I almost screwed up one of Bill/Ty's great votes.  (KN vs. IceCold).

Ah, I was unaware that the Godfathers come back as townies... That makes a *big* difference!  I hereby withdraw my suggestion.

You only know what you were supposed to know, and you were supposed to know nothing.

Let me say that this was my first Mafia game, and it shows. I started the psycho-with-a-shotgun before I saw the PM that I was Mafia.

I never asked ... who killed me?

So what made the mob guys decide to put a mob hit on me before Bill?
