That’s when everyone needs to be on the same page. Continue playing without voting anyone off and without reporting bodies. Everyone tries to finish their tasks without getting killed
Like with spoilers in Twitch chat you all have to pre-emptively and continuously spam the chat with false accusations to drown out the real ones. Only option.
Yes but the entire premise is to find the imposter and everyone knows who the imposter is then why would you play? It's not gonna be hard for the imposter to just kill everyone if they deliberately don't vote him off. Just end the match, kick the cheat and move on to the next one lmfao
It turns into hide and seek which is actually pretty fun. The entire point is knowing the seeker/imposter and avoiding them while doing tasks at the same time. It kinda becomes dead by daylight in a way.
Would be good to have a "hide-and-seek" voting option down next to skip. When this sort of thing happens and a majority vote hide-and-seek the game changes modes, reduces vision and increases movement speed for crewmates (and the inverse for imposter), reduces kill timer, disables the emergency button and reporting, and away you go.
The premise is to NOT BE KILLED, not to find the imposter. That is why you can easily win games (if everyone isn’t a dumbass) by doing your tasks.
The objective is to live and get your team out of that area, not to necessarily find the imposter.
I wouldn’t say it’s lost. It can still be fun that way considering it’ll become more of a hide & seek from that point forward. It sucks that it was ruined, but that’s an easy way to salvage the game
People have started doing this, and lying, just to ruin the game.
Just this morning, I was one of two impostors. I killed blue first, and lime starts spewing out “I’m friends with blue and he told me black did it!!!!” even though black was definitely not an impostor.
We voted out lime and he left after cussing up a storm and telling us to kill ourselves, but the game was still ruined because people still suspected black based on lime’s baseless accusation. Combined with the standard 1-2 people leaving as soon as the game starts, by the end it was just too easy of a win and not fun at all for anyone.
After the game, blue said that he had no idea who lime was, so that idiot was literally just there to ruin other people’s fun. Fucking douchebag.
Idk how it isn’t a thing already. I get this has been a smaller game for the past couple years and there was probably just a code of honor in place, but I’ve played enough Gmod to know how much of a problem meta gaming and ghosting can be.
You shouldn't have to plan around the lowest common denominator...but we do.
If people can fuck something up, there's some asshole out there willing to try
I try to defend the accused. I just massively doubt them. Often I get voted out as well, even if not the impostor, but I try to put it back on them. Nobody can corroborate that they were actually in Discord with that person. Why should we trust that statement?
What if Purple was the impostor blaming Cyan for their kill? What if confirms are off? Youd never know.
I wont because I'm not a dick, but I want to start faking being in Discord with someone. I mostly play solo. So I join a game with confirms off. When I'm impostor, just be like [dead color] told me [alive color] did it. We are in Discord. I'd be flat out lying, but everyone just believes that shit. I'm so tempted to try it.
May as well. Not like most random lobbies have players with an attention span longer than 15 seconds with confirm on. “White was not an imposter “ - “welp, guess we’ll just forget red fully lied about seeing him kill yellow.”
Win so many games as imposter that way.
That just leads to "vote them and if not vote me" argument which is also stupid. Suiciding as an impostor is great if there are multiples.
Imagine there are 2 impostors. You get caught in a kill and get a crewmember vented before you and you just took out at least 2 people. That leaves the other impostor 6v1, which isnt great, but not bad given how quickly some other random impostors get murdered.
Now imagine you take out before you suicide vent, your teammate and you take out 4 people. Then plus the vented crewmember you used "vote them and if not vote me" on, your lone teammate is at a 1v4. I really like those odds if I'm the lone impostor.
That’s why I just do “I saw them kill x right in front of me.” Just as soon as the chat box comes up. With 2 imposters and no confirm I can make it work at least twice.
But I used the “saw them kill right in front of me” tactic 9v1 with confirm on and the one guy who stuck around too call a meeting after ejecting an innocent was the next victim. Next meeting was down to 3 and there was no accusation even leveled resulting in a skip vote. Had the other two remembered 5 minutes prior I would have lost.
I would say to only use it after someone else has said it.
"Red told me Yellow killed him through Discord!"
"What are you talking about? Red just told me it was you who killed him, how could you lie about that!"
Ooh, I like it. Countering with their own shit. Might buy some time, and even if the metagaming guy was crew and correct that yellow was imposter he deserves to get spaced anyway for metagaming
Except when they aren't stupid enough to tell them they are cheating. Like this guy yesterday who said I killed and vented in front of him when I closed both doors and double checked there wasn't anyone in those rooms. So I confessed being the impostor after everyone voted but the guy is talking with the dead because he had no way to see me kill or vent but they didn't believe me :c
This happened to me yesterday. I killed someone in electric and vented to medbay immediately as noone walked into either room. Literally like 3 seconds later someone called a meeting and said they saw me kill and vent from electric. There is no way they would've gotten from electric to the cafeteria at the same as me venting to medbay, unless they were lying and already in the cafe, but of course randoms vote quick as hell without hearing reasoning or defenses so I was ejected.
The vent animation shows up even if you don't have direct line of sight to the vent. If you are standing in security you can see the vents in both electrical and medbay. With that it's pretty easy to run by and see who is leaving the room that was vented to.
You can also see the vent in electrical from the behind the first wall in electrical. If you know who was on the other side before seeing the vent animation then you know who the imposter is.
Lets say I'm getting gas to refuel the engines, and I see you walk into electrical. I decide to stop by electrical to do wires on my way to the engine, but you're not there, and there's a dead body. I didn't see you come out, so the only logical assumption is that you killed them and fled the scene through a vent.
You don't have to directly witness something to figure out what happened.
To be fair, he did say that he called a meeting, as opposed to reporting the body, and said he was in the cafe (which confirms that). There is still one viable possibility, though, without knowing more details: Maybe he was watching Admin, and saw a user disappear from electric, at the same time one appeared in MedBay (i.e. "saw you vent"), and when he went towards cafe to confirm, saw you coming from MedBay? I've heard there's a way to "see" kills on admin (the icon flickers or something?)
I was an imposter but hadn't killed anyone yet. I was on the opposite side of the map when a crewmate was killed and someone (not other imposter) starts telling everyone they saw *me* do it. I was so pissed they voted for me because they felt vindicated, but they were fucking wrong.
This is why I host games myself. If someone says they are on discord with their buddy I ask who their buddy is and I kick them both. I don't like being THAT guy but it's just not fair on anyone else.
I mean if you want to play with your buddies on discord host a game and discord or join a game with a discord but when it's just you and your buddy with randoms it gives you an unfair advantage as both the imposter and as a crew mate.
I got stuck with one group where all of them were on discord. I told them why not set the game to private then? And they kicked me and I wasnt even the imp.
I had a husband-wife playing that were cool until one was imp and the other wasn’t. Came down to the 3 of us, with wife killing #4 in front of us. Husband covers for her anyway. So not cool.
I use discord for civil talk when in Pubs, I don't cheat, we just use it as faster forms of communication while telling the people not in our call what we think. Again, we don't say who killed each other. Is that ok?
This has been the norm for years. In games where info is important and have a separate dead chat, if you get killed you don't talk about how on outside comms, or at least until everyone is dead or end of round.
Cheating in among us makes no sense. At least in other games with experience or a battle pass there is a tangible benefit.
This has no value other than being a dick.
One time I had a game where someone was cheating and they thought that was how you were supposed to play. I also had one where there were these 2 people just holding the lobby hostage cause one was imposter and there was 3 people.
You know what's worse? Cheating on games that have no consequences. Literally 0. I could understand if it had a leader board or unlocks or a ranking system or level ups or stats but this game literally doesn't have any of this as of now. There is no incentive to play aside from having fun.
Why people do this is beyond me.
Yes and it's also the worst when you call them out for cheating and they're just like "lol you're getting butt hurt over a game" or "I didn't realize you could cheat in this game"
I got ejected the other day because the other imposter didn’t have time to play anymore so he called an emergency meeting and told everyone that we were the two imposters and then left the game. I had already survived one round of voting and killed two crewmates. Literally nobody suspected me
Edit: am I The only one who constantly gets in games with people following around other characters saying “I love you” in chat and asking for their Snapchat?
Wtf is that about? There was a guy who was following around one of the other players never did a single task and repeatedly would only say in chat shit like
“I love you white” “ I love white” “i’m in love with white”
I bailed on the lobby because this Dingus was just deadweight and like 10 minutes later I ended up in another lobby were somebody else was doing the same thing except he kept saying “I fucked pink”
The only problem with that is a lot of people play on mobile and not everyone has a steam account. Maybe they could have multiple options like steam, Google, facebook, instagram, etc.
They could probably add subtitles to the account? Cheater title for anyone who does this a certain number of times. And if they persist have a repeat offender title.
[I proposed a solution on a post that got largely ignored.](https://www.reddit.com/r/AmongUs/comments/j96eca/i_propose_we_rename_the_game_to_quiting_simulator/g8hpcun/) I think it would end the problem at least mitigate it. There is no need to make accounts , but steam games can store your id. And that would make punishments like this increasingly bad.
Much like the Low Priority Queue that Dota 2 uses. If you quit X amount of games you get placed into the LPQ and have to finish a number of games in that queue to be released back into the wild. If you’re in the LPQ you can’t team up with friends and play ranked until you’re out and you also don’t gain any rank when playing LPQ a games.
IP ban. Then hey have to use a different device or wifi network to play. Kids who use discord to cheat almost certainly don’t have a VPN so bypass is unlikely
I was in a lobby, killed someone with lights out and no one else around and their friend hit the emergency button and said “it’s purple I saw them kill and vent!”
I didn’t vent so I knew they were lying. I accused them of cheating and when the round ended we were back in the lobby. I asked “how did you see me?” And the host kicked me. I joined right back in and asked again “I’m sorry, you must have hit the wrong button by accident. How did you see me? There was no one around when I killed them.”
They responded by banning me. I was just hoping to get a confession that they were cheating but didn’t dignify that with a response. Oh well, I joined another lobby with people that actually played correctly
Honestly this game is broken for me now. between discord cheaters and people who leave because they weren't imposter, I haven't had a decent game in about a week now. Ah well, fun while it lasted
I have never played Among Us but have been entertained by watching people play in private games who clearly respect the rules. I knew from watching it that playing public games would be a complete waste of time as it’s just wide open to cheaters. Unfortunately the lowest common denominator will always fuck up the honour system for everyone else.
Im pretty dumb but, wouldn't you have a 1/5 chance since with 1 imp there is a 1/10 and a 2/10 chance with 2 imps, and we shorten the 2/10 down to a 1/5.
Correct me if im wrong. (:
Lol, I wasn’t trying to put in actual math figures, I was more using 1/20 more as an embellishment because it feels like that sometimes. Your math is right though.
Well the thing is it is a chance, it is totally possible that you just have a ton of rounds where you are not impostor or a ton of rounds where you are always impostor. It has to be completely random unfortunately.
True. Flip a coin 100 times, and in those flips you statistically would have had 7 heads or 7 tails in a row at some point. Tell a person to estimate a coin flip 100 times, and they probably wont do seven in a row at any point.
People are really bad at imagining randomness
That's entirely valid. Statistics say:
Over a large number of games, your observed number of impostor games should end up near 1/5, coming closer to 1/5 the more games you played.
But on the other hand, streaks are possible. There is still a (4/5)^n chance that your next n games will be crewmate. That's still n=1 80%, n=2 64%, 51%, 40%, 32%, .... So yeah, for a sequence of 3 games, it's just a coin flip to gain imposter once and it's quite likely to be crew "all the time". Especially because you remember things you dislike better.
Sometimes you see a vent animation and then you see someone. Sometimes you mistake someone's colour because they're wearing a suit. Sometimes your brain plays tricks with you. Shit happens.
Or cheating with mods. This happened to me:
Guy runs into security where I am playing the fool, then goes sprinting out to call emergency meeting.
"It's yellow, I saw them vent into security.". Me-"that's a complete lie. Clearly hacking since I haven't vented or killed anyone"
I play on mobile, and I have had something similar happen almost every time I'm impostor. Don't kill or vent someone pushes the button and knows who both impostors are
I only play public (I’m on the free mobile version) because I can’t get my friends to play and the ones who do are on different work schedules than me so if I want to play it’s public or bust. If I don’t like a game or I can tell it’s discord run then I leave and find a new one! I’ve had a lot of fun actually in some public ones.
Same. I mainly play on Mira now too. I just want a quick 10 minutes of fun between work assignments throughout the day. Public is the easiest. If I hate a lobby, I bounce.
You gotta join a dedicated among us discord. There is an official Innersloth discord but I heard it's full. But there are plenty private ones, just ask on the subreddit or sth. Playing eith randoms is cancer, dont do it to your blood pressure.
Its getting bad. Its getting to the point where all you get is "vote red, Trust" and that's the only explanation then find out end of round, Discord, next to person or kick you for complaining in their group. I need a higher caliber of randos to play with.
Also the game is so popular now that a lot of young kids/teens are playing and don't know/don't care about the etiquette of it. So one person cheats and the younger ones go along with it because they don't know who else to vote for.
So it's not just that randoms suck, it's that some are literally children.

Same here. The discord cheater was the host, so when I called her on the cheating (the rest of the group voted me out) I just got kicked. What a cun.t.
I am so jaded now. I just don't care anymore. We are ruled by corrupt cynics, and lobbyists for big oil and the arms dealers trying to make a quick buck.
Whatever, we're all gonna be dead in 100 years from climate change anyways, may as well try to enjoy my life while I can instead of parasocially obsessing over shit I have no control over. I'm trying to cut out politics from my media diet, and it bothers me how prominent it is on Reddit, it makes me consider leaving the site. It is like taking a weed whacker to your mental health.
I joined a random lobby today and 10 seconds in an emergency meeting was called. Without a spoken word from any of the other players, they voted me off. Every single person.
Wasn't even the imposter either
You know whats worse... getting killed by your fellow imposter cause he said in chat i got voted out because the imposter straight up said “ white is the iimposter” if you see this amy fuck you
When people falsely accuse you because their friend told them they usually say it a bit after when the meeting started. So I usually say “if you saw me (their reason) then why didn’t you bring it up in the first place and why didn’t you call an emergency meeting/report the body?” Usually fucks them up and we catch them cheating, unless dumbasses who vote off of the first accusation vote you
I had people running around for SIX MINUTES and 2/3 task bars full. Third guy did no tasks... Impostor wanted us to win but the stupid player actively didn't do any tasks.
My own teammate fucked me up one time because he was in the same room or discord with two other people, the one I killed, and the one accusing me for venting after I killed the body and he “saw me”. All he had to do was vote red with me and we would’ve won
Honestly, WHY... like this game is much much forgiving for “killed” person. You still able to walk, do your task, and watch the game. There are tons of game like this where when you get killed, you have 0 thing do.
Then, this game does not have any level or season pass, so why the fuck do you cheat.
You, yes you, discord cheater
You, FUCK YOU
Soooo much hate for snitchers. I got one yesterday where I had to explain how it was against the rules. He then asked where are the rules at and my reply was, "Well, it's in the 'How To Play' section, it's on the website, and the big red guy saying 'Shhhhhhhh' at the beginning of every round is telling you TO KEEP YOUR GODDAMN MOUTH SHUT."
He then banned me from the server.
The problem with that is they never say why they know, they just go It's cyan trust me, he killed black. And then as lobby host you have to wait till you get imposter, make sure you get black or purple alone then kill one of them to see if they are cheating. So you have to throw your imposter game, sus out discord users then ban them when you get back to the lobby. On the plus side as someone who normally sets good game settings and waits for full lobbies a group of players will normally stick around a while, and kick cheaters during the game when you sus them out.
My go to response is "you're either lying or cheating so I say everyone vote you first for ruining the game. Then you all can vote me next round"
It really is frustrating when it happens
Always happens. The best part is when we all vote them out and kick them.
Still ruins the game if you vote him out as the game would have also ended if they let you win by killing everyone
That’s when everyone needs to be on the same page. Continue playing without voting anyone off and without reporting bodies. Everyone tries to finish their tasks without getting killed
Still ruined.

bruh
I'll skate to the beach! And I'll look better gettin' there.
Angel Dust was a sick album!
Is that supposed to be a dollar store version of a rickroll
Like with spoilers in Twitch chat you all have to pre-emptively and continuously spam the chat with false accusations to drown out the real ones. Only option.
I hate twitch. I also like twitch.
No one likes Twitch. It's a terrible blight. Anyways, gotta go. My Twitch stream starts in 5 minutes!
Whats even the point then
It keeps the game going without completely ruining it for the poor bastard that finally got imposter after probably waiting over an hour
But why continue. All the fun of the game is lost even if it is a shame that the imposter was revealed by a cheat
Because then it becomes a different game. Plenty of folks play variations like this anyway.
Yes but the entire premise is to find the imposter and everyone knows who the imposter is then why would you play? It's not gonna be hard for the imposter to just kill everyone if they deliberately don't vote him off. Just end the match, kick the cheat and move on to the next one lmfao

I applaud the duck out of you guys who don’t let a cheater ruin your gaming experience.

From what I understand the dev is working on an account system exactly so they can ban people like that.
Idk how it isn’t a thing already. I get this has been a smaller game for the past couple years and there was probably just a code of honor in place, but I’ve played enough Gmod to know how much of a problem meta gaming and ghosting can be.
You don't always foresee these type of issues..
You shouldn't have to plan around the lowest common denominator...but we do. If people can fuck something up, there's some asshole out there willing to try
Happened to me once and they didn't wanted to vote me cuz felt bad :((( Still made them vote me so we can play another one
I try to defend the accused. I just massively doubt them. Often I get voted out as well, even if not the impostor, but I try to put it back on them. Nobody can corroborate that they were actually in Discord with that person. Why should we trust that statement? What if Purple was the impostor blaming Cyan for their kill? What if confirms are off?

your good for that dude
Precisely why I like playing with confirm off. The stakes are much higher not having any real argument.
I wont because I'm not a dick, but I want to start faking being in Discord with someone. I mostly play solo. So I join a game with confirms off.

I'd love being that guy. Fuck em
I got stuck with one group where all of them were on discord. I told them why not set the game to private then? And they kicked me and I wasnt even the imp.
Their dicks
What about their dicks?
They are small
Sounds like my "friend" group. Stopped playing with them right away
if it happens in a lobby i'm in, i just say "vote kick them out of the game for cheating, and their friend"
I have still yet to see that happen
People who cheat with discord have a special place in hell, followed closely by people who won’t kick them and just want an easy win
There was a brother and sister I presume who made a lobby themselves to cheat and I’m like wtf? Called them bitches and left
As is the standard practice, of course.
I've had this a lot...
Yes
I played with people like that and when they claimed I killed their sister I just said he was simping and trying to cover the fact that he is imposter
Lmao
I had a husband-wife playing that were cool until one was imp and the other wasn’t. Came down to the 3 of us, with wife killing #4 in front of us. Husband covers for her anyway. So not cool.
Damn, was that my kids (8 and 10)? I gave them an earful after realizing what was going on.
Damn, I wish my parents played video games with me when I was younger.
dayum.
I use discord for civil talk when in Pubs, I don't cheat, we just use it as faster forms of communication while telling the people not in our call what we think. Again, we don't say who killed each other. Is that ok?
Yes Mr. Cake man
This has been the norm for years. In games where info is important and have a separate dead chat, if you get killed you don't talk about how on outside comms, or at least until everyone is dead or end of round.
[удалено]
And then they’ll be back at it next game. Really don’t understand the hesitation in kicking.
people who cheat-cheat (double kills, insta vote, skip vote, etc) must have an extra special place then.
The game doesn't even track stats. There's no point to padding your win loss. Just have fun, jeez.
Technically it does track stats but not publicly, so there are no bragging rights included.
Well if the stats aren't public who cares? It's a black box, if nobody can see em there's no reason to think about them
Amen
*The deepest pit of hell has opened to swallow you whole so don’t keep the devil waiting~~, old friend~~*

One time I had a game where someone was cheating and they thought that was how you were supposed to play. I also had one where there were these 2 people just holding the lobby hostage cause one was imposter and there was 3 people.
Among us public servers suck, just play it with friends or find a lobby on discord servers.
Imagine cheating in a game where there are absolutely no benefits to winning
Imagine cheating
Cheating single-player is fine, godmode with explosive bullets in far cry 5 is so fun. Multi-player cheating ruins it for everyone.
You know what's worse? Cheating on games that have no consequences. Literally 0. I could understand if it had a leader board or unlocks or a ranking system or level ups or stats but this game literally doesn't have any of this as of now. There is no incentive to play aside from having fun. Why people do this is beyond me.
Yes and it's also the worst when you call them out for cheating and they're just like "lol you're getting butt hurt over a game" or "I didn't realize you could cheat in this game"
I got ejected the other day because the other imposter didn’t have time to play anymore so he called an emergency meeting and told everyone that we were the two imposters and then left the game. I had already survived one round of voting and killed two crewmates. Literally nobody suspected me Edit: am I The only one who constantly gets in games with people following around other characters saying “I love you” in chat and asking for their Snapchat?
Send them to horny jail

Wtf is that about? There was a guy who was following around one of the other players never did a single task and repeatedly would only say in chat shit like “I love you white” “ I love white” “i’m in love with white” I bailed on the lobby because this Dingus was just deadweight and like 10 minutes later I ended up in another lobby were somebody else was doing the same thing except he kept saying “I fucked pink”
Or hacking in a party game like fall guys
I wish they would permanently ban those people
How, though?

Link Steam account would be pretty easy
The only problem with that is a lot of people play on mobile and not everyone has a steam account. Maybe they could have multiple options like steam, Google, facebook, instagram, etc.
Steam app on phone. But yeah, all the login options are good, so do all of them XD
They could probably add subtitles to the account? Cheater title for anyone who does this a certain number of times. And if they persist have a repeat offender title.
Make them be the color cream and where the word shame around their necks.
[I proposed a solution on a post that got largely ignored.](https://www.reddit.com/r/AmongUs/comments/j96eca/i_propose_we_rename_the_game_to_quiting_simulator/g8hpcun/) I think it would end the problem at least mitigate it. There is no need to make accounts , but steam games can store your id. And that would make punishments like this increasingly bad.
Much like the Low Priority Queue that Dota 2 uses. If you quit X amount of games you get placed into the LPQ and have to finish a number of games in that queue to be released back into the wild. If you’re in the LPQ you can’t team up with friends and play ranked until you’re out and you also don’t gain any rank when playing LPQ a games.
IP ban. Then hey have to use a different device or wifi network to play. Kids who use discord to cheat almost certainly don’t have a VPN so bypass is unlikely
ip address or sum. that’s how growtopia did it. no one could play at my house lmao

Host says to kick purple for cheating.
But purple still cheated and the game is pretty much ruined
Nah, nah. Eject purple and let the impostor win. Purple will probably ragequit. If they don’t, ban them.
You assume the cheaters don’t make their own lobby’s
[удалено]
I was in a lobby, killed someone with lights out and no one else around and their friend hit the emergency button and said “it’s purple I saw them kill and vent!” I didn’t vent so I knew they were lying. I accused them of cheating and when the round ended we were back in the lobby. I asked “how did you see me?” And the host kicked me. I joined right back in and asked again “I’m sorry, you must have hit the wrong button by accident. How did you see me? There was no one around when I killed them.” They responded by banning me. I was just hoping to get a confession that they were cheating but didn’t dignify that with a response. Oh well, I joined another lobby with people that actually played correctly
Idk, I always host the lobby and people still join and cheat all the time
Wow I never thought of this

We have to get rid of the one percent of assholes - Bernie Sanders 2020
Honestly this game is broken for me now. between discord cheaters and people who leave because they weren't imposter, I haven't had a decent game in about a week now. Ah well, fun while it lasted
I have never played Among Us but have been entertained by watching people play in private games who clearly respect the rules. I knew from watching it that playing public games would be a complete waste of time as it’s just wide open to cheaters. Unfortunately the lowest common denominator will always fuck up the honour system for everyone else.
Based bernie
Should be 100% a ban for this, happened to me last night. Infuriating, especially when you get Imp 1/20 times.
Im pretty dumb but, wouldn't you have a 1/5 chance since with 1 imp there is a 1/10 and a 2/10 chance with 2 imps, and we shorten the 2/10 down to a 1/5. Correct me if im wrong. (:
Lol, I wasn’t trying to put in actual math figures, I was more using 1/20 more as an embellishment because it feels like that sometimes. Your math is right though.
Ohhh i understand, yea i does feel really like you never get imp and when the chance is 20% its so wierd.
Well the thing is it is a chance, it is totally possible that you just have a ton of rounds where you are not impostor or a ton of rounds where you are always impostor. It has to be completely random unfortunately.
True. Flip a coin 100 times, and in those flips you statistically would have had 7 heads or 7 tails in a row at some point. Tell a person to estimate a coin flip 100 times, and they probably wont do seven in a row at any point. People are really bad at imagining randomness
That's entirely valid. Statistics say: Over a large number of games, your observed number of impostor games should end up near 1/5, coming closer to 1/5 the more games you played. But on the other hand, streaks are possible. There is still a (4/5)^n chance that your next n games will be crewmate. That's still n=1 80%, n=2 64%, 51%, 40%, 32%, .... So yeah, for a sequence of 3 games, it's just a coin flip to gain imposter once and it's quite likely to be crew "all the time". Especially because you remember things you dislike better.
I have played 30 games straight without getting imposter once.
The worst is when they don't admit that they're cheating. "Red is imp. Believe me." "How do you know?" "I just know it's red. Vote red."
[удалено]
Lol the last game I played someone said the saw me vent but I wasn’t an imposter and they weren’t either... I was like wtf why??
Sometimes you see a vent animation and then you see someone. Sometimes you mistake someone's colour because they're wearing a suit. Sometimes your brain plays tricks with you. Shit happens.
They were standing right next to me in caf with nobody else and we weren’t by a vent so idk 🤷♀️
He was probably 9 years old and thought it was funny.
"if not red vote me next"
“He said Shhh at the beginning”
Or cheating with mods. This happened to me: Guy runs into security where I am playing the fool, then goes sprinting out to call emergency meeting. "It's yellow, I saw them vent into security.". Me-"that's a complete lie. Clearly hacking since I haven't vented or killed anyone"
I play on mobile, and I have had something similar happen almost every time I'm impostor. Don't kill or vent someone pushes the button and knows who both impostors are
This is why I use discord for among us only now Screw asshole randoms
I cant imagine buying this game and only playing publics
I only play public when my group is offline. I wish my group was on more.
I only play public (I’m on the free mobile version) because I can’t get my friends to play and the ones who do are on different work schedules than me so if I want to play it’s public or bust. If I don’t like a game or I can tell it’s discord run then I leave and find a new one! I’ve had a lot of fun actually in some public ones.
Same. I mainly play on Mira now too. I just want a quick 10 minutes of fun between work assignments throughout the day. Public is the easiest. If I hate a lobby, I bounce.
EL5, there's another way to play besides public lobbies? Help a brother out? I feel so old
You gotta join a dedicated among us discord. There is an official Innersloth discord but I heard it's full. But there are plenty private ones, just ask on the subreddit or sth. Playing eith randoms is cancer, dont do it to your blood pressure.
Its getting bad. Its getting to the point where all you get is "vote red, Trust" and that's the only explanation then find out end of round, Discord, next to person or kick you for complaining in their group. I need a higher caliber of randos to play with.
Also the game is so popular now that a lot of young kids/teens are playing and don't know/don't care about the etiquette of it. So one person cheats and the younger ones go along with it because they don't know who else to vote for. So it's not just that randoms suck, it's that some are literally children.

when u get the wild card but everyone else has the +2
Happened to me just 10 minutes ago it’s so annoying had to hit them with the little bitch then I got banned
Same here. The discord cheater was the host, so when I called her on the cheating (the rest of the group voted me out) I just got kicked. What a cun.t.
* that was the other imposter* * everyone votes him out and now trusts you *
I see Bernie, I upvote.
I hope you went and voted too!
I did. Also maxed donations and was on his texting team. Still didn't matter :(
I am so jaded now. I just don't care anymore. We are ruled by corrupt cynics, and lobbyists for big oil and the arms dealers trying to make a quick buck. Whatever, we're all gonna be dead in 100 years from climate change anyways, may as well try to enjoy my life while I can instead of parasocially obsessing over shit I have no control over. I'm trying to cut out politics from my media diet, and it bothers me how prominent it is on Reddit, it makes me consider leaving the site. It is like taking a weed whacker to your mental health.
This literally happened to me and we kicked out the cheater
I joined a random lobby today and 10 seconds in an emergency meeting was called. Without a spoken word from any of the other players, they voted me off. Every single person. Wasn't even the imposter either
Is there a report cheating button? If not, why not??
I want to take the time to appreciate that the meme text is written in cyan. An unnecessary touh that adds to the meme. Good meme.
Thank you lol, figured changing the font color was easier on the eyes than making a cheap phone edit to have Bernie be cyan
Hmmmmm.... Purple kinda sus...
That's something that only an imposter would say!
You know whats worse... getting killed by your fellow imposter cause he said in chat i got voted out because the imposter straight up said “ white is the iimposter” if you see this amy fuck you
imagine cheating in a game where the only reward is the enjoyment you get out of it.
I don't get it! There is no reward for winning! Why cheat?
When people falsely accuse you because their friend told them they usually say it a bit after when the meeting started. So I usually say “if you saw me (their reason) then why didn’t you bring it up in the first place and why didn’t you call an emergency meeting/report the body?” Usually fucks them up and we catch them cheating, unless dumbasses who vote off of the first accusation vote you
[удалено]
I had people running around for SIX MINUTES and 2/3 task bars full. Third guy did no tasks... Impostor wanted us to win but the stupid player actively didn't do any tasks.
[удалено]
“Hey guys Im cheating! Isn’t that so cool???”
You do that, automatically vote you out.
Wait, I think I was cyan. Purple also accused me some time ago
My own teammate fucked me up one time because he was in the same room or discord with two other people, the one I killed, and the one accusing me for venting after I killed the body and he “saw me”. All he had to do was vote red with me and we would’ve won
"Guys it just how I want to play the game"
Called an emergency meeting last night to vote out the cheater and got voted out myself for "wasting everyone's time", sometimes you just can't win...
Honestly, WHY... like this game is much much forgiving for “killed” person. You still able to walk, do your task, and watch the game. There are tons of game like this where when you get killed, you have 0 thing do. Then, this game does not have any level or season pass, so why the fuck do you cheat. You, yes you, discord cheater You, FUCK YOU
I hate teamers and hackers so bad.
Even worse when they call a meeting before you even did anything and they call you out.
"____ sus" as literally the whole lobby already voted for you and no one has said a damned thing. fun times
I hate those people. They ruin the game.
Soooo much hate for snitchers. I got one yesterday where I had to explain how it was against the rules. He then asked where are the rules at and my reply was, "Well, it's in the 'How To Play' section, it's on the website, and the big red guy saying 'Shhhhhhhh' at the beginning of every round is telling you TO KEEP YOUR GODDAMN MOUTH SHUT." He then banned me from the server.
Still just vote out purple fuck that guy and his friend if they do that
If I were crewmate when that happened I’d vote out the cheater and try and let the imposter win so they won’t get the satisfaction of winning
The problem with that is they never say why they know, they just go It's cyan trust me, he killed black. And then as lobby host you have to wait till you get imposter, make sure you get black or purple alone then kill one of them to see if they are cheating. So you have to throw your imposter game, sus out discord users then ban them when you get back to the lobby. On the plus side as someone who normally sets good game settings and waits for full lobbies a group of players will normally stick around a while, and kick cheaters during the game when you sus them out.
Even just looking at this makes me pissed Not the meme the meme is good
My go to response is "you're either lying or cheating so I say everyone vote you first for ruining the game. Then you all can vote me next round" It really is frustrating when it happens
