Rules are communication with others, I agree with Abbasax on this narrow topic, you can get a vibe from just reading the rules.I think we're working from different definitions of "vibe". Here is the dictionary definition, "a person's emotional state or the atmosphere of a place as communicated to and felt by others." It's not a solo-act thing. You have to experience it, to pick up on it. Tone isn't the same as vibe, as tone is a much more generalized word connoting, "the general character or attitude of a place, piece of writing, situation, etc.". You can pick up on general attitudes without touching on vibe. Vibe is the the different subtle "tunes".
