updated .fa-ban icon to update via js & ws; changed taken_roles (or its cognates) everywhere to starter_roles, as 'taken' will be used in respect to roles thru-out entire game, not just this seat-determining phase of Role Select; patched up chosen cards not disappearing upon previous gamer choice, & a try,except that catches attempts to select one anyway w. a 409 & optimistic card rollback; new IT confirms this 409
