Normal Game Changes (New Year 2024 Update)

Really excited for these changes :

) I think now that the Normal Queue is a jumping off point for new players this was very much needed.

random thought: there are roles that can have multiple names under normal guidelines already. what if we just expanded the list of allowed names and let mods pick their preferred nomenclature? the confusion this might bring to newer players could be abated by making it a requirement to link to the role's wiki page in the role pm (which i think would be a good idea regardless)

granted, if this were done, i don't think it should be a free-for-all, as we wouldn't want situations like "town detective: you are actually a town cop." but maybe there could be a list of names for each role that are approved by default, and mods can request alternatives during the review process?

another potential upside: i've ran normals where players from other communities got tripped up at claim time due to differing language, and this would kind of put a bandaid on OGI like that.

but who knows, maybe this is an awful idea that would just create more confusion
