1. Wait for a positive investigation for any death to occur.
2. Demand that the targeted genie give a player investigation powers for that investigation. Ideally that player is a proven innocent.
3. Have the new 'investigator' repeat the investigation that came up positive before.
4. If the new investigator gets a positive, then the genie is proven legit. If the new investigator gets a negative, the 'genie' is proven mafia.

The only way for this to be stopped is if the mafia-genie manages to 'give genie powers' to a mafia-aligned player. This requires linking mafia, and the town can usually avoid this case anyway by demanding that the genie target a provable innocent.

A simple but mildly inelegant rules change to fix this would be to make fake-genie investigators receive false-negatives only if no investigator has ever received a positive result for that murder.

I like this idea.

Mafia keep an updated list of what investigations they want to come up positive, and which ones they want to come up negative. Basically, they dictate what results all fake-genied investigators get.

Hmm... I like that idea, though I don't think it even needs to be updatable.
