Well, the only blatant thing I can think of is whether or not thedealer knows why Maurice feels indebted to him... Is this a positive or a negative debt... meaning is he interested in helping Lucy and keeping the gun away from Cigarette, or is he using a spin on words and working to get the gun for his very own bad self?
Also, is the gun the one Maurice used to kill prisoners?
Um, that's all I can think of! Game on, dude!

Let's see, questions:
Who was present at the hanging?
He won big in a hand of poker during WWII. We think that's where he got the Navy Colt and all of his money, but who did he beat?
How come all of us dead people are playing poker? And if we're dead, how was Konamouse able to get Victor's hat for him?
Why do I get dealt a 7 and a 2 so often?

Was the Dealer's message on Lucy's voicemail meant for us or for Lucy? What is "the precious thing" (you'd think it was the gun, but if The Dealer owned the gun at his death, why is he talking about how he gave it to "them")? If the message was meant for Lucy, then who is the "her" they're gonna kill (obvously can't be Lucy then)?

Here is something we need to ask TheDealer:
In the last game, the dealer said
Quote:
thedealer: The colt I got a long time ago, back in my army days.
thedealer: Just after it killed a man.
ScarpeGrosse: Anyone we should know?
thedealer: The shooter, or the dead man? Both men worth knowing, in their different ways.
Through conversaion, it was determined that the shooter was Maurice Pikar, but no one ever followed up on the dead man. In the next game, we should definitely ask who the dead man is (we know he is the german in Paraguay, but we don't have a name).

Actually, we can be pretty sure that it wasn't the German in Paraguay. Pikar killed him in 1969. By that time Lucky would almost certainly have mustered out of the armed forces. Also, don't we know that he's owned the Navy Colt since '45?

How does one earn the "Mark of the Joker?" We are slowly seeing more players with this.

We may have to get creative on this one. Somebody tried to ask Lucky straight out during the game I played with him and he said something like "I'll let you figure out that one for yourself". But I think he used some poker analogy that sounded much cooler.

This one has been solved here . Spoilered there as it goes a wee bit behind the curtain.

Any question that directly references the new info learned during the updates. We missed one when no one asked specifically about a particular piece of information.

Ask about "Jeb Stewert". It's supposed to be "the Jeb Stewert gun".

suggestion... quick suggestion - why not make a stickied post for this, with the top post containing a copy of any questions for characters, and any answers given to them?
And maybe a list of the top ten questions to be asked at the very top?
It would make it easier for someone like me (who doesn't have much time to devote to the cause) to be able to know exactly which questions I should ask if I happen upon a character.
