Manti does want to pull in as much town cred as possible as he is being extremely helpful to the host. But whereas some might find it suspicious, I think it is genuine not because he is a mod. I disregard that fact and just go with what is being made in the thread. While it seemed that he has not made any contribution to help in the game, I do genuinely believe that he is a town.
Sure it's not much but if you look at it in the psychological aspect, it does make sense that a town would want to help a much he/she could, whether its on the game or on the host. His psyche does give off the town vibe whereas yours and yoshl's psyche seem to be running in circles, seeking precision and concrete evidence. It does not help that on day 1 you seek such a thing. I understand if its later on but you need to take a laid back approach on the beginning phase man~
reading through this and I have to agree that maybe jrodd might be onto something.
Don't you think you're projecting just a teensy bit?
I mean, just going by my own experiences by I've helped hosts as a red.
There's something I like call preemptive confirmation bias. This happens when you bet on being right when you know you shouldn't have any reason to feel the way you do. Insurance in the shape of an AHA! moment that very well may happen but not for the reasons you think it will.
