Changes to Normal Games (update September 2022)

It's worth considering that limiting setups also limits setup spec and fakeclaiming within games. More rigidity makes setup spec easier. It will also make for a less diverse meta, which is a bad thing imo.

And yeah, on that more personal note, Iambic Tetramafia would no longer be possible for two reasons-
1. PT cop is not a whitelist role.
2. Mandatory standardisation of role PMs would mean that the enabler would probably not be possible in the way it was done.

As an expansion of 1, I feel this is a really good example of an uncommon variant role the like of which will definitely suffer due to there no longer being a greylist. It's difficult to go through them all. That said, in light of me bringing this up I would hope PT cop will be considered for whitelist.

And to expand on 2, I think there are certain roles which can definitely benefit from a little fudge-factor on the standardisation. Modifiers like enabler and informed can probably benefit from customisation.

There are other queues still?

Sure, but that's not a defense of thinning the ground that the normal queue covers. Like, let's say for example that Boon will start running his style of previously normal games in the theme queues. That's going to A. increase the load on the theme queue and B. decrease the load on the normal queue. Is this a good or a bad thing?

Oh yeah also remember I did the rules for iambic tetramafia in iambic tetrameter for some reason and that can't be done any more either but that's not exactly the biggest issue here
