A Discussion on Metatrust

[Kotlol]

 I think it's turned into a crutch, to a point where even when one player is an antagonist, they'll go out of their way to include their deep connections, or interact solely with the people they have relationships with. It's frustrating to play a round and be treated a wildly different way than someone just because I don't have an ingame marriage with them, or be excluded from an RP because it involves "Hey guys, remember this funny thing that happened to us?" 

I'd like to add to this part really.. but in a different way. (This was long ago!)
I once was a security officer in a shift and suddenly I get a beep of a hostage situation in the chapel. Naturally a traitor took a crewmate hostage... I of course 1st had to get rid of any person trying to vigilante 1st. Aka clear the room... Cause hostage situations are fun interactions with the antagonist but it mostly goes sour since Staffy McStafferson runs to suplex them in their demands. (I like my personal rule of "Do not attack the antagonist until the antagonist starts combat or security.")

When that was done. We started doing the negioations.. and it went well till a staffy ran in and suplexed the dang antagonist, saving the hostage. (Well darn)
Guess we gotta arrest them now.... cuffed em and checked on the hostage to only have the hostage pull the antagonist away from security and saving them.
Okay.. so the hostage is mindhacked. Makes sense... SMART move traitor to have a backup plan.
So we naturally arrest the hostage and.. no mindhack? Odd.. okay maybe they are another traitor and have no traitor gear?
But they kept saying how they loved eachother and are married and did this so they could retire to the Space Bahama's. The hostage situation was to drum up a fortune.
Fun story.. and if they were both antags. BRILLIANT! Shame a staffy suplexed it and ruined their round.

Then... end of round came in. I checked on the antag list and... Wait... the hostage... wasn't an antag at all? No mindhacked OR antag ever?! They were just a normal staffy who in META was married to the antagonist from rounds ago and always roleplayed together in a METATRUST WAY!?
Yea I wasn't pleased.... Ahelped it and moved on.

This is why I wanted to add to it. Since this kinda meta trust makes interresting stories but also "breaks" the rules of "pretend like you want to keep your job if you ain't an antagonist." Just cause your two charaters have history from previous rounds... and you like roleplaying a loveydovey couple that's married. You can't just be an antagonist cause the other one is.

I also learn of their previous loveydovey stuff and continuoued ones on later rounds. And I'll be honest... after that round whenever one of the two was an antagonist, I was ready to jump the other one just in case... Luckily that offense didn't get repeated. But it shows that metatrust like that can lead to very bad situations.
