Name one. SV always goes for full honesty and disclosure, in my experience.

Look up most of the Worm Quests starring Taylor. Most of the time when asked if they want to reveal to Danny anything its almost always no from my experience.

That's because there is literally no reason to ever tell that man anything.
Use a different example if you're using Worm quests as your sample, like the Undersiders or someone the girl actually has a positive relationship with.

This. It's immensely frustrating seeing SV scream yolo and lay all of our cards on the table from the get go.
I sincerely hope the time traveler plan backfires, because there's a lot of reasons why it should. I mean we're literally saying we're hunting satan with a straightface. None of the girls have reasons to believe this supposed evil exists. Not to mention making a shadowy deal for power and refusing to explain it is all kinds of sketchy. And no,our deal was nowhere near as 'harmless' as contracting. We were sent back in time to kill someone, not something. Seriously, everything we're saying reflects badly on Tatsuya, and he really doesn't have the tact to frame it right. We're on a mission to kill someone for an unknown employer in the distant future; it sounds both crazy and bad.
Fuck laying our cards on the table. Nothing we're revealing makes us more trust worthy. I hate to break it to people, but this isn't the third grade where honesty is the best policy. Keeping your cards close to your chest is an expression for a reason.

If we're Tatsuya, we have Madoka's trust implicitly, right there.
And We're dealing with Magical Girls and prospectives. "The Dark Lord is coming" is kind of a genre staple that plays exactly into their pop cultural expectations. The only thing that makes us sketchy is that we can't elaborate (which we can explain with amnesia) and that we're here to kill someone (Who is the DEVIL).
Also, I've yet to be in a quest where the players were upfront about everything.

I do not want to tell her who we are, so this argument breaks down a bit for me right here.

[X] Tell them…
-[x]That you're from the future
-[X] That you're Madoka's brother.
-[X] That you made a deal for power.
-[X] That you're hunting a big threat to stop them from taking over the world
-[X] That you can't remember much detail.
There. I think that's honest, encourages trust and explains our motivations without being too weird.

Honestly, his behavior in this update doesn't show that he's nearly as bad as I expected. He's oblivious to a lot of things, and many things about modern society will take him by surprise (like cake!), but he's far from stupid and he does seem to have some sense of how to handle social situations.
I agree that he knows these people and trusts them and would be willing to tell them what he knows. Except for Kyuubey. The rat was the Devil's minion once-upon-a-time, and might still be, so Tatsuya shouldn't give away any hint of being from the future or hunting the Devil until the white rat is gone. Tatsuya shouldn't yet be overly suspicious of the power upgrades (he got his own upgrade from Kyuubey or someone very like him), but information ought to be controlled so that it can't get back to the Devil.
[X] Tell them…
-[X] That you made a deal for power.
[X] Ask Kyuubey what does he mean with his magic not being typical.

Yeah, Im not so sure Tatsuyas power comes from Coobie.
Which begs the question, who gave it to him, and why do they want him to off Homucifer.
...Beyond her being Homucifer, obviously.

...Honestly, that's probably all the reason they really need. I mean have you read the descriptions of what it was like with her in charge? Place was a shithole.

Except Kyubey has shown sentience and the ability to talk, something the Devil's Rats never had. He's clearly not standard for the Devil's Rats.
...Or at least Tatsuya hopes he's not standard, as he's eaten them before.
Also, the Devil has yet to awaken as the devil. We're trying to stop it from coming into existence.
And OOC, Kyubey would likely be a very useful ally against Homurcifer if we explain the situation properly, since she apparently grabbed the whole universe, enslaved the incubators as mindless animals, turned part of Earth into a paradise, and left the rest of the universe to rot.

What I'm taking from this is that Tatasuya can trust Kyubey (until he learns about witchbombs and shit).

Really? because it got like, two off-hand sentences. Not really enough information to dismiss Corinthian's theory.
