Tip 1
The first thing you need to do is make a super awesome set-up and send it to the head FM Mod Varanus so they can give you constructive feedback on your game.

Example
Fenraiser

Hey Var can I make a mafia doctor in a set-up with town voyeur and town vigilante

Varanus

08/31/2020
Yes

Fenraiser

08/31/2020
Hell yeah
I would also throw in a disguiser but Idk how I want to deal with voyeur/disguiser interactions, though I'd just probably clarify it in the rcs
I think I'l just send set-up information here

Fenraiser

08/31/2020
Town Voyeur (TI)
Town Sheriff (TI)
Town Tracker (TI) [Maybe change to vigilante]
Town Doctor (TP)
Town Escort (TS)
Town Back-Up Marshall (TS) [Pseudo-Confirm Mafia Marshall, May change to neighbors]
Town Citizen
Town Citizen
Town Citizen
Town Citizen
Town Citizen
Town Citizen
Town Citizen
Mafia 1-Shot Strongman
Mafia Agent
Mafia Marshall
Mafia Framer
...
Uh
This is what I have now

Varanus

08/31/2020
LUL THE BACKUP MARSHAL

Fenraiser

08/31/2020
Yeah

Varanus

08/31/2020
So like
On a scale from 1-10

I don't get the point of this game.
Gladiators! Are you ready for the opportunity of a lifetime? Fight in a battle that will go down in history. Eight challengers enter and one leaves with a prize no man could imagine. Are you ready to rumble?!

Tip 2: Ask other hosts/experienced players for help

Tip 3: Keep pinging the mods on discord until they block you or approve your game.

Why wait for mods to approve your game just post it anyway.

Tip 4: The average wait time for game reviews is 6 months so feel free to do literally anything else besides FM during that time period.
