Playing cards at start of game?

[Solelron]

To be fair, both are accurate. A lot of evil players will wait till their turn to put things down to ensure they are not auto-thieved or screwed up before their first turn. Others like to have a strong output so they can offer help on the first turn.

Nothing wrong with either approach.

Of course it's up to you whether you want to play your cards or not, yes. It's wrong if you deny people the chance to perform the Character Creation step before the game, though.

To be fair, it's not fair to tell people that they can't play cards before the game starts, since the rules are explicit about allowing you to play them. However, if someone doesn't want to play anything until their turn, they're welcome to wait, but they can't later claim, before their turn, "Oh, I get to play these cards here since I was allowed to at the beginning of the game," once the first player has started his turn.
