As you submit new games, could you mention if they are intended for the main season for a mid-season game, please?
Thanks.
I had originally set it up like that, but what if people don't know which one they are trying for?

You are partnered with Never Forever/CzarTim.
You and your pair's shared role is One True Pairing. You are Aligned with LOVE (That means TOWN).
The Special Power of you two is One True Pairing. This power gives you 1-Shot-Target-Immunity. This means that you cannot be targeted by anyone for the first time someone tries to do it. Once any role has targeted you though, you will lose the immunity completely. You will be informed when the immunity is lost. If during the first time multiple roles try to target you, the immunity will block all of them.
Everyone has Survived the Night!

You are partnered with Blargonaut/Kawl_USC.
You and your pair's shared role is Best Friends. You are Aligned with LOVELESS (That means MAFIA, by the way).
The Special Power of you two is Tracking. Every night, the two of you can track one of the other pairs, and see if they visit someone else during the night. You can do this, by sending this command PM during night phase:
Pry: Pairname
*Splinter/Cabot have been eliminated from the game!
You are partnered with *Splinter/cabot
You and your pair's shared role is Pair of Sleepwalkers. You are Aligned with LOVE (That means TOWN).
The Special Power of you two is sleepwalking. Every night, the two of you walk together to the boat of another random pair (how you are able to walk from one boat to another without getting completely soaked, no one knows). You will be not told, who you visit.

It wouldn't just be characters from the game itself.But how can you make a fake claim for a game with an established roster
But then who's to say what's real and what's notIt wouldn't just be characters from the game itself.
But then who's to say what's real and what's not
You could claim any of the roster characters and be safe
Though it is role madness
No it's not the issue of characters being good or bad based on what they are in their own universesThat's the point. It's actually a recommended design choice for cosplay games to not necessarily use villains as the scum. I don't think that's ever been done with Gafia yet but I know Crab at least mentioned it in his game building document. Judge people based on what they are claiming to do, not the character they claim to be.
Edit: Plus voting records, behavior, etc.

It's that fake claims would be hard to poke through because a fake claim about a character that is truly in Battle Royale is much harder to poke

Both Gafia games are a fairly good example of this. Very few of us could be argued as villains based on a role perspective. In Gafia 1, for example, if someone had roleclaimed Nin1000, my first thought wouldn't have been, "He's got to be scum."
Likewise, with Gafia 2, I expect a few people to say, "Why is that person on the scum team?" In terms of flavor, I promise that I have a reason for each of the scum to not be invited to the wedding. In terms of game design... well, someone had to be the bad guys.

Question: How do people feel about the Discord spec chats? I like them, but I worry that they are taking away from the spec threads, and the spec chats are much harder to archive.
Thoughts?

As someone who got stuck mostly talking to myself in an Outer Gafia spec thread, I'm not a fan of the split. I haven't registered for Discord because I have no reason to use it except for spec chat, and I am somewhat disinclined to sign up for it if that is going to be the only thing I use it for. To keep things simple, I would prefer keeping things in as few locations as possible.
I do know that people have been running live Mafia games via the service though, so I do realize that there are reasons why the community has been using the service. I'll leave the decision on what to do to the veterans of the community.
