[MRP] What actually is the identity of manuel and what does it try to do?

In my times discussing stuff in manuel or on the manuel discord, it's become increasingly obvious that every single person on manuel has a different idea of what manuel IS/ISN'T, and what manuel SHOULD/SHOULDN'T be. So many spats are based on personal ideas of what manuel is, people telling eachothe...

Even with that, the question of non-miners running around lavaland raiding the ruins is still relevant. Dont need a key to grab the antique laser gun. Hell, even just miners avoiding everything but megafauna and the ruins.
