Can you 100% avoid metatrust? An anecdote, a security main that has people convinced "this character IC doesn't sound like a person who would antag for me and would be very bad at it!". They rolled antagonist on one round. Secoff A, who tends to not be in inter-round relationship and not always playing the same role, report to the radio that this person is suspicious. Secoff B, who RP a more social character and pay attention on who his character know in the round, decide to answer with "huh, what do you mean suspicious? Aren't they an officer?".
This anecdote doesn't have my idea of metatrust, but I imagine it is kinda normal for your brain to do things based on the pattern you remember and forget things because it is so used to many similar scenario. On the other hand, I think some people have anxiety with meeting new people and rarely talks or interact with anyone they do not know.
Though, I have had situation where certain players would follow around an antagonist as non security to hunt them once they see a suspicious person, then apprehend them, in situation where antagonist hasn't provoked them. Or follow around security as non security (instead of joining as sec) to "help" security when nothing have had happen and there are enough security member. Security player would sometimes just said "so and so plays security often, so it is fine,", even to the point giving them their gear. It also bothers me when the situation that happen involve whitelist.
Though, going back to the anecdote, if you are so used to seeing someone in sec or helping security at certain times, your brain will just ignore it. I do wonder if the situation I brought up are still within the rules, as you can help security and provoke antagonist.
