role select scroll log: less robotic phrasing + role code — 'assumes Nth Chair, where SUBJ will start the game as the Role [XC]' — TDD

Was 'assumes Nth Chair; SUBJ will start the game as the Role.' Now joins with ', where' and appends the role code in a no-wrap bracket (the Player [PC], the Builder [BC]…), matching the SkyDrive/Sea abbrev treatment. Chair stays capitalised (user-confirmed). 56 drama ITs green; the billscroll FT's 'assumes 1st Chair' assertion still holds.
