On Day One? Little of each, really. It’s as much (or slightly more) to go on as the minor slips so far, IMHO, and setting up a pattern of “it’s okay to be uninformed or miss things that are handed to you” is definitely not something we should want. > [@AngeloftheNorth](#): > > Well, I just explained this in a previous post, but yeah, it’s more unaffected concern. It’s an easy vote on your part, though-- you’re voting me for being anti-town? Do you really think scum would be admitting they hadn’t read the rules? I could easily come in here and just make random comments and slide through. Yeah, I do, because scum do things to appear townie. And this way, you have an pre-set-up “tee hee, I was just SO OVERWHELMED that I MISSED IT” defense to a play that might otherwise be a scum tell. It wouldn’t be the weirdest gambit I’ve seen (or used). --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mafia-reunion-day-one/776577)._
