The Random Questioning Stage (RQS) is an alternative method to the RVS to start a game of Mafia. It involves the instigating player posting a string of questions to each player (typically all in the first post), with each player in the game getting one question. Questions can either be centered around Mafia itself ("Do you prefer town or scum?") to something way off-topic ("Who's that in your avatar?"), depending on how the user approaches the method.

Advantages

  • Actually looks for how people take stances, meant to instigate discussion.
  • Avoids mindless random voting, which typically accomplishes nothing to starting the game.

Disadvantages

  • Off-topic questions serve no purpose to contributing to discussion.
  • Some questions receive rather uninformative answers. (eg: "Are you scum?" "No, I am not.")
