      One game I was crewmate in Skeld. I did download in the cafeteria, then went into weapons to do asteroids (visual tasks were on btw) but there was a dead body. Obviously, I reported it and then I got voted out for 'reporting a body too quickly'. God, I hate when you join a bad or toxic lobby.

      It happens in premades too. I was in a full party of 10 once. Lights went out and four of us grouped up to move towards it. One died, I reported it immediately and clearly said that one of the imposters is 100% one of the remaining three of us.
      Myself and the other one of those three who was crew both got killed the next phase and imposters won. Goldfish-like memory on everyone else: he was never suspected again for the rest of the game.

    A tip: there common tasks in among us that either every crewmate or no crewmate has. If you see somebody doing a common task when it's not on your list (like admin swipe for The Skeld) they're probably the imposter. So imposters, if you have a common task while others don't, don't do it and vice versa

      Hopefully this rises in the comments because most players don't actually know this and cause the game to go poorly for getting their suspicions wrong. A better way to explain this is to know what multi part tasks have a definite ending and follow that player through to the end of it. You will then know if they are to be trusted.

    At the beginning of the video. If you want to know if a word is spelled with "or" or "er" at the end, find out if it's a suffix or not. since "impost" isn't a word an "imposter" isn't described as "someone who imposts"
    like run -> runner
    receive -> receptor

    Another decent idea is while you are an impostor, keep track of who used their emergency buttons and prioritize killing those who still have some left while leaving those who used them up alive as they will need to find a body to do anything. Plus if they are the only people in the late game, you can guarantee victory sooner.

We take note who is innocent and easily find who the impostor is. Don't give up hope, my dude. Since Among Us got popular, you have to expect newbies. Every game can be good or bad. Remember that if you are a host, you can kick anyone you want.

    Best kill I have ever seen: I was in my very first round and playing with some friends at lunch. I was having trouble with card swip and one of my friends came in to "show me how to do it" he killed me on the spot and left. My other friend came in to show me and did it without reporting. Apparently, my body was positioned in just the right way so no one could see me. And the next meeting he just said, "wait, you're dead?" It was hilarious!

      It's true that you're not guaranteed to be safe, particularly when only one other person has seen you do it. Still, it's best to try and get several people to see you do a visual task, which could be a challenge in PUGs.

    What if you where to start (as a crewmate) do the more remote areas of the map, Because the Imposters don't go there first; two if you suspect that someone is sus then go with groups Because you are A Target, three when someone asks the same question Over and Over then there probably trying to Redirect the Conversation.

  • @draconix4131
    @draconix4131 Před 3 lety +1

    My rule for Among Us is to not vote without any evidence. If there was no one nearby when you found the body, its not exactly a good idea to vote,because you have no good evidence. Also, always pay attention to the tasks you have because imposters dont know what tasks the crewmates have. Always travel in a group of 3 or more, because it not really likely that both your partners are imposters, because its inefficient for 2 imposters to travel together. Dont always vote out a person who defended the imposter, because its likely they were unknowing. Make sure someone knows where you are so that you have a good alibi, this ties in with staying in groups. Make sure that you give a detailed story of what your doing so that its less likely tor people to think that you are the imposter. If you want to kill someone in a 1 entrance/exit, make sure that there is no one around so that no one will be able to say you were in the room when you killed them. I hoped this helped, and I cant really fit any more advice into this comment.

  • @zegaman00

    False: the task bar doesn’t go up when you have a 2-3 part task until the final part is done; therefore, they are safe to fake while being the impostor.

Because of your guide of was able to win the game. Just one more tactic I would like to add is that you should make a diversion. When I kill in admin I like to sabotage reactor. When I kill in reactor I sabotage o2. Also when sabotage is on cool down I like to lock all the doors so I can wait till sabotage is refreshed.

  • @sataniccat-girlwithagun3300

    This is just something I think but it's best not to kill someone who sussed you, it'll only make you look more sus. I let at least one round go by and then try to kill them. I mean, admit it, if you see purple call blue sus, then purple is killed, blue is a prime suspect. But this is also a good way to frame someone. Like if orange calls Yellow sus, maybe kill orange and then remind the crew that Yellow was sussed by orange, who is now dead.

      Exactly. Wires, download, trash, and divert all of multiple steps therefore not filling up the task bar until all the steps are done. Yet people want to act like that’s not the case at all.

    in among us (after you kill someone) say the other imposter, because if a crewmate says "I saw red go into med bay with orange" and orange was dead, say you "saw it on cams" that way your partner can't blame you.

    About the task bar thing: long tasks (which require 2 or 3 parts like the first and second wire) don't fill up the bar, but filling them all up does. So try to ask them "how many wire tasks do you have left" before immediately voting them off. I've lost like this once and even if you feel extremely vindicated at the end it's not worth it.

  • @jasonellis4330

    The taskmeter thing really doesnt work a lot of the time. You can turn off the visibility of the taskmeter, AND there are several tasks that have multiple parts that wont make the bar fill until you've completed all the parts (although both of these make it easier for an impostor). Same goes for the "voting being made public" thing, because it can be turned off. Also, impostors can very much vote quickly in order to try to START the bandwagon...
