[maiden ridge]

I got fcking accused of hacking a 5 consecutive public lobbies In a fcking row

[pearl rune]

time for chaotic hosting again

[maiden ridge]

It is the fear of greatness that leads humans to err to settle, in their compliance they overlook the sheer brilliance of the aspiring to be flawless

[maiden ridge]

Id like to join

[maiden ridge]

Honestly bro, if among us had a ranking system Id atleast be global top 10

My fellow dissociates are competing against alien intelligence

Anything less than perfection wouldn't win against me

[pastel echo]

[small mortar]

which was in 2022

[solemn dune]

ok

nice

[wary yoke]

Hello

[maiden ridge]

Amongs us is too easy

Or is it that I am too good?

I had expectations from this game to have potential to equal the depth of trust and betrayal dynamic of Solitary Confinement

Not even close.

Perfection is like a castle in the sky, I can see that place

[quiet quarry]

Ok

Very nice man

Slothbot am I a fresh bean?

[small mortar]

both

[coral frost]

hello

[boreal plaza]

Anyone on

[small mortar]

Chat

how do I report issues about amogus

[rich notch]

Hey chat
When are we gonna get a colab with Among Us for Among Us, that would be absolute peak

[rustic dagger]

lol

[serene junco]

hello

[shrewd yew]

anyone here like Among Us

[shell marlin]

Who doesn't

[slate shale]

Explain then why some People here exspet because of henry stickmin

[final parrot]

hi

random hot take:
Door logs are the best security System

[rough robin]

Why don't I have among us role?

[smoky magnet]

Hello

I'd like to contact developer Dors for a video I'm planning to make for my YouTube channel. Does anyone know how I can contact him directly?

[rough robin]

Dms or sloth mail

[calm rampart]

How do I unban my account that was permanently banned?

[vague urchin]

Your best bet would be to create a ticket on Innersloth's zendesk and use the "Dispute a ban" category, and provide all relevant information about your account.

https://innersloth.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

[calm rampart]

Ok

[rustic dagger]

I'm anxious rn

When I hosted a game and won as an impostor, some tan dude called me "stupid" in my face for no good reason while I killed him and telling lie to defend myself in meeting

and went silent

After his assholery making me enraged inside, I banned him

2 players left because of me after cyan hoping that my account got suspended, which is very extreme of them

I can't believe how this is happens all of the sudden

[red vault]

What Methods though? They can't just change your UI, for Example.

Yes

[rich notch]

Exactly, we don't even know what fixes are possible that won't just get circumvented

It's a sisyphean situation

Where whatever is tried just ends up useless

[red vault]

Huh? A better System to report Players can already be achieved to some Degree by changing the Appearance of the System that regular Users can interact with. The People who abuse the Game can't just change that back for other Users.

[red vault]

And there is a clear Distinction between useless and imperfect.

[rich notch]

Basically, people doing thosr kinds of things are going to go to whatever length they can to do said things

[red vault]

But they can't. They can't just load new textures onto the Devices of other Players.

[candid nest]

The obvious improvement would be to enable reporting people after you leave a room (and without needing to have played a game with them)

[rich notch]

That's one thing that yes I agree should be implemented

[candid nest]

That would enable people to report dating lobbies that never start and kick anyone who isn't their target

Other than that... yeah not much can be done within reason.

Put it this way: Yes they can completely solve dating lobbies! ... The price would be AWFUL.

Here's how to "fix" all the dating lobbies and toxic people: Remove free chat.

That's it. That's the price.

No one sane wants that

[red vault]

Immediately load the Part that shows the List of Players plus the Kick- and Report-Buttons, instead of having to go through thr 🥾 -Button first, after you've opened the Chat

[rustic dagger]

Dating lobbies thing are starting to get stale

I couldn't be bothered about this crap

[candid nest]

Oh the UI could be improved yes. That's not just for reporting. Just a blanket statement.

The UI could be improved. A lot.

They finally let us see all the settings!
... hidden behind a button, and still not while in game.

Let us view the settings mid game please.

[red vault]

Regarding the Topic of the improved Reporting-UI, when was the last Time that this Thing in particular has been properly updated?

[wild atlas]

I have an odd question... are the game devs (or one of them) Simpsons fans??? Or Fresh Prince of Bel Air???

When you scan the QR code, on the Scan Card, on Polus, it brings up the phrase "Yo Holmes, Smell ya later".. this is one of 2 references.

In the opening theme of (the 90s show) Fresh Prince of Bel Air, the singer quotes this in the theme somg upon stepping out of a cab.

In simpsons, it is often quoted by Arch-Bully Nelson Munz

[hardy edge]

Yeah

[rustic dagger]

They never said anything about The Simpsons, did they?

It's just a reference

[candid nest]

Innersloth also made Henry Stickmin, which is packed with memes and references! It's something the team has done for a long time.

[stoic mulch]

I still have that Game.

[wispy plank]

e

[zenith osprey]

Yoo

[green iris]

I have a pc but my mom took it

[sick skiff]

worst decision was to take vcs away from this server

[zenith osprey]

Why

[green iris]

Cuz of exams

[sick skiff]

you really cant play the game without voice communication

[zenith osprey]

Oh

[zenith osprey]

Wdym

[green iris]

I'm trying to get ranks by chatting as long as possible

[sick skiff]

[mortal stag]

Hi guys

I have a question

[green iris]

Banana

[mortal stag]

What does mean of the globe or phone icon on the top left of my friends' names ?

[green iris]

Probably a status

[mortal stag]

What is different of these icons

What is mean of these

[green iris]

It's probably showing what devices they playing

Or it's just a icon doesn't do anything or idk

[zenith osprey]

Yea

[rich notch]

It's either have mods deal with a stupidly large amount of reports from vcs from trolls or only allow trusted people to use them
Which one do you think is better?

[candid nest]

Obviously they think trolls in VC is better lol.

But you know. Official server isn't a good place for VC trolls

[silver yew]

Hi

[green iris]

[silver yew]

dose anyone knows where can I find people to voice chat and play?

[shell marlin]

[floral plume]

among

[grave drift]

Facts

It's the only game I truly care about anymore

[floral plume]

just had the worst accusation session I've had today 💀

[hallow spire]

Hi

[floral plume]

hello

[floral plume]

I steadily put sus on a player for them probably being shapeshifted as me, because door logs said they passed at the same time, and I caught that same person doing a kill

the person was banana, and when I accused them yellow just piped up out of nowhere and said it wasn't him and started accusing me. I kept telling him he was not banana and he insisted that yellow and banana were the same color

five people voted yellow making him the majority vote which led to him dying and the person I actually accused got off scot free playing dumb the whole time

at that point I just left the game

[hallow spire]

How can I create an account with the Xbox app (android app) in Among Us?

[small mortar]

I just trolled a kid by saying "CYAN PULLED OUT A KNIFE AND STARTED CHASING ME.."

somehow somebody believed it

[floral plume]

why would you do that to them

not for the ethics, rather because they definitely will believe it

people on Among Us take everything at face value, joking is forbidden unless you find a lobby with normal people

[small mortar]

idk bro i was bored

it was like 4am

[floral plume]

once an impostor left the game right before voting ended and that rejected everyone's vote on them and left only the votes for me

so I died to someone leaving the game

[cyan palm]

man this looks like a chicken drumstick tbh

[drowsy verge]

Hi

[cyan palm]

hi

[drowsy verge]

How are you

[floral plume]

do you have any tips and tricks for impostors trying to kill people? share them here

I don't have forum access but I really want to add to this so I'm gonna share some tips here

when lights are off always have a good idea of what the lowered vision should be for crewmates. the closer the kill is to someone's FOV the more confused and disoriented the crew will be when it happens which will sway the vote and probably end up making people skip and waste a round

[drowsy verge]

Good advice

[pearl rune]

This is why I refuse to play in lobbies where crew vision is above 1.0x

[drowsy verge]

If I was more patient I'd play my own Libby's lol

Lobby's*

[pearl rune]

I host a lot and actually get quite a bit of traction lmao

So much so I installed a mod to help moderate my own lobby lmao

[drowsy verge]

It has speed up since the new system was added

[pearl rune]

Yeah and i like it- I'm a bit unconventional with settings

With the filters i have on i may or may not get a decent amount of lobbies

[drowsy verge]

I have like average 5-4 lobby open on all maps

[pearl rune]

same

Like map wise I prefer Polus, but have good settings for a Skeld or Fungle lobby and I'm in

[drowsy verge]

Ah

For quite a while I only played skeld just started playing all different maps about a week ago

[pearl rune]

i played with this one Skeld group for a while and on paper the settings were nice

[floral plume]

my next message got banned because it contained an e with acute accent

[pearl rune]

but then you realize its 1v9, and the impostor is a shapeshifter. guaranteed. which means that if they shift, that person is hard clear pretty much... negates vis being off and the slower task bar updates.

[floral plume]

I was gonna say that on Mira HQ especially you can just wait in the southeast section of Hallway and kill anyone heading up from in the center of the hall, darting back to Cafeteria

if the cooldown is low you can chain this over and over and just dwindle the numbers

[drowsy verge]

Pov 2 of your teammates are either trolls or noobs

[floral plume]

Mira HQ is my favorite map

[pearl rune]

i love Skeld, its a classic, but its best for 10 person lobbies

Polus, though, i pretty much could snort it

[floral plume]

Skeld is horrible 😢

[drowsy verge]

Eh

[floral plume]

emoji does not strike through

[pearl rune]

Skeld is nostalgic, i played a lot in 2020-21 before taking a haitus and id play that map all the time

[drowsy verge]

All maps are good tbh

[floral plume]

Polus is Skeld but better imo

[pearl rune]

I love Polus so much

I'd marry it

[still ice]

polus my fav. but i like skeld fine too

down girl.

relax there

lol

[drowsy verge]

I'd like to see that lol

[floral plume]

they are both roundabout maps, but Polus actually does something to make that interesting and includes dead ends in the form of rooms outside. not to mention the "outside" thing isn't overly done like with Fungle

[pearl rune]

feral screeching

[tacit valve]

99% play skeld
0.5% play polus
0.3% play mira
0.2% play airship
0% play fungle

[pearl rune]

I've been in a few good Fungle lobbies

[floral plume]

Skeld is hell

[tacit valve]

ye

[floral plume]

Skeld is where every stupid player resides

[pearl rune]

There's stupid players on Polus too lol

[drowsy verge]

Air ship needs full lobby's to play

[floral plume]

I don't come across them as much as I do with Skeld 😭

[pearl rune]

lol

[drowsy verge]

Skeld on expert lobby's be like

[floral plume]

tags are pseudo

[still ice]

https://tenor.com/view/screech-pterodactyl-screech-pterodactyl-scary-weird-gif-5364743

[floral plume]

difficulty tags in Among Us are pseudo

[still ice]

YES

[floral plume]

the difficulty comes from the settings and how familiar with the game the people are which varies completely in a public lobby

[drowsy verge]

I feel like new players commonly play expert

[still ice]

skeld is fun if its all you and your friends. skeld pubs are.... an interesting batch.

[pearl rune]

i mean due to glitched lobbies im lvl 178... XD

[floral plume]

so there is no such thing as difficulty for Among Us in terms of like, a general one

[floral plume]

I'm 121

[pearl rune]

yeah honestly it depends on settings

[still ice]

polus tends to have the smartest overall, just because the common tasks are a great trap

[pearl rune]

yeah and ive figured out how to outsmart it

[still ice]

and i play fungle. so its not 0%

[drowsy verge]

I'm lvl 85

[still ice]

its at least 1%

[floral plume]

direct correlation between Skeld pubs and actual pubs
📈

[still ice]

i've noticed, tho. that LATELY... airship pubs are like... skeld pubs part deux. srsly.

[drowsy verge]

IV learned before starting a game to pay a close attention to the players to filter trolls

[still ice]

yeah

[floral plume]

"I didn't do the thing I did but ok"

[still ice]

i do that. very stringently. it works decently

[drowsy verge]

Wdym

[floral plume]

omg it's the Henry Stick Man

let's play on Henry map

[floral plume]

people that say things like this

[pearl rune]

polus has henry stickmin references galore in it lmao

[still ice]

the node names, for example

[floral plume]

part of the game is to try and discredit your accuser but with this you demoralize them and then you just sound like a jerk 😭

[still ice]

i wish the ones i got were that bright and talkative...

[drowsy verge]

What do you think the new roles will be that they said where coming

[floral plume]

one of them might be a new impostor role

[still ice]

i'm very much looking forward to whatever the "poisoner" role is they teased.

[floral plume]

it might be like vampire in Town of Host

[still ice]

i'm not going to hazard a guess if its going to be imp or crew, tho. they may surprise us

everyone assumed phantom was going to be a ghost's role, but it wasn't

[pearl rune]

I hope it's an impostor role

[drowsy verge]

Might be like a kill button but it takes time to kill

[pearl rune]

Yeah i think it'll be a delayed kill mechanic. Legit had a dream about it.

[still ice]

i actually lowkey hope its a crew role. for reasons.

[pearl rune]

BAHSHDHJGV

[still ice]

ahem... hold on...

[floral plume]

we still have people in the game that don't know that Guardian Angel tells you they protected in the meeting following a round

[drowsy verge]

How about crewmate and impostor new roles

[still ice]

oh @candid nest. we're discussing roooolllllleeeeesssssss

😅

[pearl rune]

BAHSHDHJFUG

[floral plume]

once I tried to use a GA notification to make it seem like someone tried to kill me and then everyone asked how I knew 💀

[still ice]

how to instantly catch her attention. mention glitches, roles, or lore. boom. Crewbait appearance

[pearl rune]

FKDFSISAHFIVHD

If the poisoner role is an impostor role I already have stuff for my lore in mind and I will be fast and furious with writing it

[floral plume]

||the Mira HQ decontamination collision glitch has still not been fixed, and I hope it stays that way||

[drowsy verge]

Nice

[pearl rune]

i have so much imp lore hehe

[still ice]

||the what now????||

[floral plume]

I personally believe in the idea that Mira is rivaling some other science organization that secretly merged crewmates with creatures from Polus and is sending them to Mira crewmates to take them out from the inside

[drowsy verge]

I got my among us profile setop

[still ice]

i like the "mira is the evil corporation" angle that got brought up yesterday. it actually works distressingly well

[pearl rune]

my lore allows other peoples impostors to exist with mine in the same universe, lol

[pearl rune]

fellow purple mini haver 👀

[drowsy verge]

👀

[lone marsh]

I like to be metamorph

[pearl rune]

i like that too, my spin is 'MIRA kinda sucks in the Impostors POV because they villanize and kill them for no reason but also for the Crewmates because they could do a better job at protecting them'

other than that, YAY SCIENCE

[floral plume]

||if you stand in a very specific position at the decontamination entrance near the bottom door on the left side, and you have enough lag, you can clip through and walk out of bounds||

[still ice]

LOL wow

[ember nacelle]

What happened to among us VC

[candid nest]

Technically they said "involve poison" and not poisoner specifically. :)

[still ice]

THERE she is! lol

[candid nest]

DOESN'T IT???

I was making a smoothie i was thirsty

[candid nest]

oooooooooooooo

[still ice]

..........

why do i forsee requests for mira tonight, followed by eventual gleeful cackling

[floral plume]

the logs tell all

[still ice]

i know you too well

[candid nest]

But yeah the two guesses for poison everyone jumped to (myself included) was modded Vampire (delayed kill) or modded Sheriff (killer crewmate)

[floral plume]

best be sabotaging comms else the round might end in less than 5 meetings

[candid nest]

The former because, like, come on. Poison = deadly = imp role. Easy connection to a delayed kill.

Latter because the trailer that implied that a bunch of crewmates hooked up with an impostor, and said implied impostor was dead in Security at the end of the trailer.

Considerig freaking PHANTOM isn't a GHOST role, I'm not going to place any bets on either one

[floral plume]

if impostors will be able to die as bodies in Among Us, how will they handle reporting them

will someone else become an impostor?

or would poisoner simply be a heavily nerfed role with limited killing capabilities

[candid nest]

In modded, it's just... you can win game by killing the imps. They drop a body like normal, you report it and brag that you're sheriff and shot them.

But modded is insane and doesn't care how game breaking that is

I would trust Innersloth to handle something of that power with a bit more grace

[still ice]

https://tenor.com/view/chaos-smug-christina-ricci-addams-family-addams-family-values-gif-11801830

[candid nest]

Tbh I'd be more interested how they'd handle a delayed kill mechanic.

Does imp get two unlinked kill buttons?

Does using one reset the CD on the other?

[still ice]

heh. calling it now. the poison is a ghost ability that slows down imp movement or gives them increased kill cooldown or somehting. LEL

[candid nest]

..............

omg

[still ice]

[candid nest]

pls

[still ice]

i think i broke her

[floral plume]

Town of Host is anarchy

[candid nest]

that would be HILARIOUS

[floral plume]

if you die you just lose, point blank

[still ice]

most mods are

[candid nest]

yep. Everyone alive has superpowers, Syndrome style

[pearl rune]

[candid nest]

But once you're dead, well sucks to suck. We'll even spoil all the surprise left by just TELLING you everyone's roles!

Have fun being completely useless and not allowed any more fun this game!

[pearl rune]

i remember i played modded with a group once, i forgot what mod it was, i think TOH

[floral plume]

maybe we'll let you kill an impostor and ruin their day, but in the meantime play RPS

[pearl rune]

and they had a rule that if you were bait you had to disclose it... same energy as disclosing youre noisemaker. defeats the f-in point.

[candid nest]

I am endlessly amused though that VANILLA was the first to give a GHOST a role

[still ice]

and to add insult to injury, you can't even use angel protect, because they stole that to bastardize it to give the various roles their abilities

[floral plume]

and now it just does it automatically

dude just said "idk who's standing on brown's body" while I am ss as brown 💀

[candid nest]

To be "fair", modded often changes comms to make everyone look the same. So like, mushroom mixup but boring.

And with that, it also means that Comms doesn't stop Bait. Comms DOES stop Noisemaker.

[pearl rune]

yea lol

[candid nest]

So vanilla made NM counterable

[pearl rune]

i havent played modded in forever so

[candid nest]

Modded says lol nope you don't get to counter this hard clear.

Oh I haven't either. I pretty much bailed when ToH:TOR became Project Lotus

[still ice]

you're not actually missing much

[pearl rune]

bahahahhaa

[candid nest]

All role mods went in the same stale direction.

[still ice]

"HEY LETS CALL OUR MOD XYZAWESOME MOD AND DO SOMETHING TOTALLY NEW AND UNIQUE... AND HAVE ALL THE SAME ROLES AS EVERYONE ELSE!"

[candid nest]

Throw in everything (including the kitchen sink), it's only balanced because no one knows what the heck is going on, and if someone drops any hint of their role imps can isntantly kill them for the CREWMATE daring to not HIDE INFO well enough

[spice crow]

Hii

[candid nest]

Modded is totally just Syndrome.

https://tenor.com/view/the-incredibles-syndrome-ang-when-everyones-super-no-one-will-be-super-heroes-gif-5389961

[pearl rune]

lmao

[still ice]

mods have become an excersize in finding out exactly how much they can cram into a single mod, with no regard to if any of it actually plays well together.

i don't need 100 roles. or 1000 roles.

give me 5. 10 max.

wanna make it spicy, add modifiers. modifiers that can happen to either team.

[void bridge]

Guys I'm new, Can I share my role ideas here?

[floral plume]

it does!?

[still ice]

if you want. but have a thick skin. we WILL critique them

[candid nest]

We share stuff like that yeah. But it's just chatting. Don't expect devs to take note XD

[floral plume]

noisemaker doesn't sound with comms off?

[still ice]

yes

[candid nest]

correct

[still ice]

no it does not

[void bridge]

Answers?

[candid nest]

ALL cremate roles are completely disabled and ceased as soon as comms are called, with one exception

[still ice]

a guardian angel protect placed BEFORE comms is called persists till it expires naturally or blocks a kill.

[candid nest]

The one exception is that already-cast GA protections will remain until they wear off

[still ice]

omg. LOL AGAIN

[void bridge]

You mean the comms sabotage?

[still ice]

yes

[floral plume]

/bt 10 bean

[still ice]

calling coms stops all crewmate special abilities from being used. angels can not protect (altho as was mentioned, a shield already in place stays) tracking stops... including tracks in progress, no scientist vitals, and no engineer venting

and noisemaker does not squeak

[floral plume]

officially, Comms Sabotaged

[candid nest]

Engineers are kicked from vents and can't reenter
Trackers lose their trackee and can't place another
Guardian Angels cannot cast a shield
Noisemakers are silenced.

Scientists are arguably least effected because they just can't open their vitals. If they do before and after sab they still have an idea of kill timings

[void bridge]

Hunter - When got voted out, he can eliminate a player (meaning it is from meeting, and meeting is disabled after comms sab)

[floral plume]

similarly to how the reactor sabotage is officially named "Reactor Meltdown in"

[candid nest]

I'd actually like a modifier that makes it so if you're voted out, whoever you voted dies with you lol

Modifier so that either team can use it. I totally see that as a "I'm not dying without a fight"

[floral plume]

I think impostors should be able to track the location of ghosts

any particular ghost that you kill in a round

[still ice]

"I'M FKIN TAKING YOU WITH ME -GRABS-"

[floral plume]

and then that map is reset the next round until you kill another person

[void bridge]

Engineer Rework - Can use vents, can auto fix sabotages (except comms, it is a device)

[candid nest]

That's just what modded does literally

[floral plume]

sabotage master

[void bridge]

Yeah

[floral plume]

why do crewmates canonically need a role to vent

[candid nest]

yes after real engineer came out, some of them split the other half into sab master

[floral plume]

are they physically incapable of entering holes

[candid nest]

It's probably dangerous

Crewmates would want proper PPE and communication to vent

Imps don't care about safety crap

but the only stuff in the vents are food and tennis balls

Sniper - Can kill a player on line of sight ( get a red crosshair on onto the player that is vulnerable by the sniper

[floral plume]

I remember this role

[void bridge]

Also shots are trackable

[floral plume]

it was insane

[void bridge]

What?

[candid nest]

It was hard to use but rewarding when you baffled people with it

[floral plume]

you could do that in modded by shape-shifting at two coordinates, anyone on the line marked by the second shapeshift dies immediately

[candid nest]

crazy easy on Mira and had a couple prime shot spots on Polus

I remember once I hit all three shots on Mira and had people wondering wtf happened lol

[void bridge]

Spy (Crewmate) - Can gain an extra view

Agent (Neutral) - Have your own tasks and win

[still ice]

ehhhhhh. i know a few speed taskers who would be able to reliably win every time if that became a thing.... (-COUGH-CREWBAIT-COUGH-)

[candid nest]

I would hope that Innersloth does not put any Outcast roles in vanilla. Stick to Team Crewmate and Team Impostor.

Leave the 80 different Outcast roles (like Jester and Arsonist) in modded only.

[void bridge]

If the agent has one task left, he is EXPOSED FROM EVERYONE

I mean, one group of task

[candid nest]

Card swipe and scan boarding pass. save them for last. gg

[void bridge]

Ok, balance - when he has 2 group of task left, they know youre an agent, and your name will become red

[candid nest]

You can still chain that pretty easily

And I wouldn't want to see any Outcast roles in vanilla anyway lol

[void bridge]

Detonator - Can block a vent, when anyone used that vent, they will die immidiately (the vent will have an X mark)

[candid nest]

That's also a modded role lol

[void bridge]

Ughhhh what?

[still ice]

yep. already exists

[candid nest]

Have you been playing/watching modded games? XD

[void bridge]

No, I don't know about them, I just play among us without any twist, but yeah I'll research that

[candid nest]

I guess to be fair

I wasn't joking when I said modded adds everything, including the kitchen sink

So overlap is expected? XD

[frozen sentinel]

That why I don’t like playing mods like toh tbh. They’re so confusing and there’s so many roles

Same with tohe which is just worse😭

[manic spindle]

ToHE is overly bloated and the only reason it has any traction is the host only gimmick.

I encourage people to explore real fully featured mods such as Stellar Roles or Submerged or Better Polus. These do require all players to run the mod.

[candid nest]

The difficulty there is accessibility vs ability

[manic spindle]

"Yeah to use your ability you need to be at a vent, sorry"

[manic spindle]

This isn't helped by most hosts I have seen enabling blatantly unfair roles such as Veteran.

Any role that changes the interaction of "I am imp and when I click kill that means a kill happens" to something that isn't an upgrade for imp is a poorly designed role.

[candid nest]

Full mods are PC only (Currently. One dev is making some headway into possibly getting them onto Android, and allegedly someone managed a host mod on android too?)
This makes it harder to get players, because a huge amount of players are mobile only.

Host-only mods allow anyone to play. PC. Android. iOS. Switch. Playstation. XBox. BUT they're just fancy hacks. They're restricted to what they can cobble together with glue and prayers from vanilla code.

So you get the stronger mod with fewer players, or the weaker mod with more players

[manic spindle]

Actually this is a lie. I like medic from Stellar Roles. (Place a monitor on a player and when that player is killed the imp is notified immediately that there was a monitor and then after a configurable delay the medic is notified that their monitored player died)

Monitor lasts the entire game and you only get one.

[candid nest]

That's... That's scientist with extra steps?

[manic spindle]

Correct. This is a very restricted scientist. Because scientist is too good lmao.

[candid nest]

Though my general opinion on modded as a whole is throw out the entire system.

When Guesser is needed for balance. the whole mod is trash imo

[manic spindle]

I disagree. Stellar Roles accomplishes pretty good nuance for high skill level.

And guesser isn't strictly needed if you house rule no role claims

[candid nest]

If Guesser is needed for balance, the whole mod is trash. I ain't budging from that.

If you need a house rule, the game itself isn't balanced

So the game needs fixing

If Guesser is the fix, the whole system is garbage. Start over.

[manic spindle]

Do you believe Tracker in Vanilla is balanced?

[candid nest]

Don't punish the team that's supposed to share info from sharing info.

[candid nest]

I do strongly feel that having Engineer, Scientist, and/or Tracker at a max of 1 per game is the same thing as having visuals on.

[manic spindle]

That wasn't the question I asked.

[candid nest]

As for the roles themselves, that depends o the settings.

Tracker with no delay is a bit overpowered because it can see the jump of a kill. Stick even a 1s delay on it and it's better.

If you cap Tracker at 1x per game and give them 0s delay, yes that's overpowered.

[manic spindle]

Is getting Tracker not just a free hardclear in most situations?

[candid nest]

If you let the amount of trackers be slightly randomized and don't let them see the kill jump, it's strong but bearable.

[candid nest]

If you play with people who know how to fake and are free to do so, then no not at all. I've seen Tracker be faked multiple times.

Imp's greater vision allows them to fake tracking someone, and that's even more doable when that imp is a phantom.

Often times the imp faking that feels clear from role-info, when they were faking it.

That's only possible because other trackers couldn't say 'Nuh-uh! I'M the thacker!"

Impostors know when they kill people, so they can fake scientist easily too if they're smart about it. Same situation as above.

Noisemaker is the only living crew role I can see good case for a 1x cap, because as soon as they reveal themselves imps know to cut comms before killing them, making their role a free clear but useless on the field.

[manic spindle]

I don't think an imp can fake tracker all game. That's a commitment that every round you get info to use for faking

[manic spindle]

And heaven forbid a tracker track you.

Hide and Seek ROLES Ideas:
Crew:
Doctor - Can revive players(Can alert impo)
Guardian - Protect anyone around from attacks
Tracker - Know where the impostor is after completing all of the tasks
Ninja - Can blink through walls

Impostor :
Saboteur - sabotage to force everyone go to location
Venom - Make an ooze on the way to stun anyone and send out alert when someone steps on it

[rustic dagger]

It's funny of how black trying to spell 'engineer' rght

right

[solemn dune]

loll

[misty nimbus]

I either use "If you see anyone but me venting, fire at will" or "I am texan"

The latter being a reference to the Engineer from TF2

[pearl rune]

I'm like

"I'm vent goblin hehe"
Or
"Purple needs her vent enrichment time"

[rustic dagger]

venting is good for engineers

[candid nest]

I'm a little tattletale when I'm engie

I see anyone else vent, I tell everyone they can vent.

Not an accusation with a random number of engies running around. But it's info to share and share i do!

Related, I got a lil reaction off of Fungle vents last night whe I tried brigging back what I want to call them hehe

Fungle doesn't have vents. It has root routes!

[candid nest]

Waiting impatiently for Innersloth to leak more hints about that poison and detective work.

Silly teases!

[pearl rune]

👁️👁️

[candid nest]

so uh. There is/was a modded "Detective" role. I liked the idea of calling it Janitor instead tbh

That sounds like a job a crew would need, and janitors know your dirty little secrets.

But it let you see footprints. In color or anonymous, from the last so many seconds.

I think anon footprint seeing for the past couple seconds would be neat for a vanilla role

You could tail someone easier, or see the general direction a killer went

[rustic dagger]

Well for once, It's not a bad idea

For the anon footsteps

[candid nest]

Not enough to directly reveal anything. And imps can fake it again because they can already see farther.

Idk if current mods still have that.

But it was a neat idea

[still ice]

i joke about HQ giving me my venting permit

[pearl rune]

Lmao I've joked about that too

[pseudo terrace]

i need help

[still ice]

well see... of my "crew" of 10 beans that i regularly play, 3 are impostor. so when i play them, they are imp, even if they are crew, they are imp, just not hungry, behaving themselves, and "doing this silly little list of chores that HQ gave me"

[solemn gust]

Hey

[still ice]

so i have in the past more than once complained that "they didn't give me a permit this time. smh. they know i know the vents like the back of my hand." and "eh. someone handed me this tablet instead. blue died 14 seconds ago by the way" and stuff like that

most hilarious one yet, last night i complained that i "hadn't gotten a venting permit in so long that i was just gonna SCREAM if anyone stabbed me." @candid nest was the only person in lobby to correctly read that context clue hehe CONtext and also happened to be imp... i died under the cover of comms sabotage. the only time it got called the whole game. 😅

[pseudo terrace]

hello could u help me?

[still ice]

[oak hawk]

Guys, Lime vented

[pseudo terrace]

im gonna send it to ur dm's

[obsidian quarry]

wondering if there will be a easter cosmicube for beans

[vapid bay]

isn’t easter already past

[manic spindle]

"Janitor" is usually reserved for an imp body cleanup role. You clean the body making it no longer exist. On vitals it shows as disconnected so crew have to pay pretty close attention to realize what happened.

It's usually balanced by being tied to the kill cooldown. (Using kill causes clean to go on cooldown and vice versa)

[still ice]

oh she knows what the name "janitor" is usually tied to in modded. i think the angle she's going for by calling it janitor here is... "the guy who cleans up the footprints"

[manic spindle]

Well detective doesn't clean them up? The flavor is they use them to get the culprit

[calm rampart]

[still ice]

i dunno. i know what it is she's attempting to say with the name she chose. innersloth has already surprised us in the past with name/design choices of the roles. i'm semi patiently waiting for more info

[calm rampart]

Y'all want more roles?

[still ice]

we already know they are working on more

the topic of discussion is what

[calm rampart]

Ok

[manic spindle]

Personally I don't. We are still to this day exploring the depths of shapeshifter plays no joke.

[calm rampart]

what about a joker

[still ice]

they mildly teased us

no. not unless you can give me a very good reason for something like that to exist

[calm rampart]

Idk

[calm rampart]

I agree people just accuse without asking if it's a shapeshiter

[manic spindle]

That's like surface level. I'm looking at like at least 4 layers of deception with the plays I see these days

[calm rampart]

what happened to all the lobbies

I can only find like 4 at best

[manic spindle]

It's too powerful for vanilla among us but I want what Stellar Roles calls the Undertaker. Very simple imp role: it can drag bodies around. It has a very reduced movespeed while doing this (because body heavy, duh)

Drag bodies to where they take forever to get found. Drag bodies to throw off the location of death and frame a crewmate after the kill.

One simple mechanic: good amount of depth

[still ice]

agreed. shapeshifter is stupidly powerful on multiple levels. i keep it on an extremely "tight leash" because of that, but it still causes headaches

[manic spindle]

My best shapeshifter play ever was enabled by a legendary second imp who got trusted early and was using cams info.

My kills were clean and made even cleaner by my imp partner controlling the narrative every meeting with the cams info

(Probably need to mention this was Skeld)

[pseudo terrace]

the best!

[manic spindle]

We make it to 8 and the task bar is filling fast and security is starting to get stacked so my partner no longer has control over cams narrative. This is when I finally use my shapeshift button to get a convincing enough desperation kill on admin cam to frame a sus crewmate.

The crew were absolutely convinced on the meeting on 7 and voted without hesitating.

And then it's a round on 6 with 2 imps alive and that story only goes one way with competent players...

Quality of shapeshifts not quantity. I know having an ability button is tempting but you have to know what the most impactful time to use it will be.

[calm rampart]

correct

[manic spindle]

If you shapeshift every round you are probably a terrible shapeshifter. If you shapeshift like once a game you might be the most insane shapeshifter in the world who gaslights everyone, idk

[calm rampart]

you know it

[tough bone]

Ah igual le pasa de que no lo deja jugar y luego se mete a la play stor y le aparece actualizar pero tampoco lo deja actualizar

[still ice]

even ignoring the "vote first ask questions never" crowd, shapeshifter instantly turns almost every meeting from imps trying to sweet talk their way out of sus, into "oh, you saw me? nope. it was ss" and then the whole rest of the meeting is instead of the imp defending, now crew has to systematically go down the list of who is with who and eliminate the clears as "not the shifter" meanwhile the imp is just sitting back not saying a single word the whole rest of the meeting. it dominates and fundamentally shifts the tone of the meeting. and even then, depending on how convincing the imp is ASIDE from the doubt thrown in by the very existance of ss coupled with non-clears, an imp can possibly walk away scott free with a win, even after being caught red handed, by just saying "nah, wasn't me bro, must be ss". it's lazy.

that's not to say that i hate ss. for as many headaches as it generates, i do like to use it to fake scientist once in a while. 😅

[manic spindle]

I want to make more plays like this. I don't get why some players complain that they lost because "I had to get all the kills while my partner got nothing". One way to get to endgame is to deny crew the information needed to eject you. A good way to not give crew information is to not do any imp actions (except sabotage because that is invisible).

[still ice]

english please

[tough bone]

Ah igual le pasa de que no lo deja jugar y luego se mete a la play stor y le aparece actualizar pero tampoco lo deja actualizar

[still ice]

english only please

[manic spindle]

Oh that doesn't work in sweat lobbies. Sweat lobbies operate under a rule that makes these plays unviable: "ALWAYS eject unconfirmed SS claims"

[calm rampart]

why was I timed out

[still ice]

what did you try to do?

[calm rampart]

I was trying to translate to him

[still ice]

i hate sweaty lobbies. i avoid them like the plague. i play for fun, not to get all sweaty

[calm rampart]

I like them normal lobbies

when they aren't too smart or too dumb

[still ice]

did you use any accented text? accents trigger auto mod and auto time you out

[calm rampart]

yeah accented text

[manic spindle]

You MUST have at least one OTHER player claiming it's a SS kill (if that happens with just one person btw you have a pair which is nice bonus). If you don't you eject the player caught killing but claiming it's ss.

[manic spindle]

One other player claiming it's ss or a player confirming the ss claims true location*

[supple bison]

Hi

[calm rampart]

Hey

[still ice]

on the flip side, you will also have the lobbies where one person will say "i saw red kill blue in o2". 4 people say "but red was in lab with us the whole time", and the rest of the lobby silently instantly votes red out, completely ignoring the clear. rinse and repeat till all crewmates dead

[pseudo terrace]

Hi crewmates

[errant tendon]

Good night guys, my Among Us from Steam and Epic Games doesn't work, when I click on find a match it loads and disconnects my account, I don't know what else to do, can anyone help me?

can help me?

If anyone wants to help me, please contact me in my DM

[pearl rune]

the vent enrichment time bit has gone over well

[delicate pike]

hi

who wants t play

[floral plume]

any time anyone immediately claims shapeshifter, I vote them out because it's always from the inexperienced players that have no good way to defend themselves

[snow solar]

Bruh why is it so hard to find a good server now?

[rustic dagger]

I didn't expect that devs would reply to you

[rustic dagger]

Idk

I find this a good server to me

Also, good night

[snow solar]

I need a really good server...

In game

[rustic dagger]

I thought you meant a discord one

[snow solar]

No..

[still ice]

eh. not always. i've had someone claim they saw me, and i know my name was white, but unfortunately, i have no witness. in that case, my only defense actually IS "that must have been a shifter"... and in that case you would be voting out a crewmate.

i'm... defintely not a n00b

[snow solar]

Join a expert server and a noob joins makes me rage...
Because it's meant for literal pros... I get voted out as crew because I seen a shifter unegg in a vent...

Literally gave solid evidence

[still ice]

"expert" tag is a joke.

[snow solar]

It really is

That and the trolls...

[still ice]

i never willingly join expert. because the majority of the time its either horrible hosts with draconic rules and an iron fist, and/or noobs who say "I AM SO PRO AT THIS GAME" and pick expert because they think they're badazz

[snow solar]

Lmao they probably a pick me or something

I always stuck with the "intermediate" tag

[still ice]

sounds a good medium.

[snow solar]

Yeah

Also just got to 73!

[still ice]

before they changed em i best fit into the casual/serious. i goof around, i'm there to have fun. but i'm not stupid. if you leave clues, i will see them and call you out. lol

but when i host, i just don't check any difficulty tab and just take what comes

i get some good, some bad. but i yeet the bad, and i don't have to deal with the self professed "experts"

[snow solar]

Lol you're probably the best host

[still ice]

i have a loyal following 😅

[snow solar]

I don't proclaim myself as an expert because even I goof up

But I do categorize as a mid player

[still ice]

somewhere around 4 years running now of nightly lobbies. gawd the time flies.

[snow solar]

I call out like 90% of imposters as suspects even with one person as crew

Until I gather evidence on said people are imposters I call a meeting and call them out

[manic spindle]

I am a host that does rule with an iron fist with a single gameplay rule. Meeting participation when asked a question directed at you is mandatory if you havent participated yet that meeting. You don't have to actually answer the question but you do have to say something, anything in chat if someone is trying to get you to speak and you have been dead silent.

I ban players failing to meet this single reasonable gameplay standard.

I also ban the usual problems: obviously offensive names, bigotry, cheaters, etc.

[still ice]

oh i mean the hosts who have rules like "no killing afks, no killing the host, no voting out the host, etc." the stupid rules.

i have one rule. don't be an ass.

[manic spindle]

I have 2: don't be an ass and actually participate

[still ice]

if someone plays a game with us and never says a word and instantly votes in meetings, yea i kick them. same if they only speak another language. but that's not a "rule"... its more "bruh, my meetings are 180 seconds long for a reason, we talk. if you can't or won't, you aren't a good fit"

[manic spindle]

It is not fun to play with a player who literally never writes in chat

[unique bridge]

I was in an expert lobby 3 imps, my 2 partners got voted o it early and I was left, I got some kills and somehow was cleared for ss even tho there was no ss as my partner was out.. not sure how that happened.

Crew win on tasks fairly quick and in lobby I say gg but am met with hostility lol apparently I am bad imp because I was cleared for ss and some bs then I got banned lol

Some expert hosts are wild yk not all but certain groups are very hostile

Mainly on NA not sure how it is on Europe and Asia servers

[rich notch]

I tend to stay silent until asked something usually (I don't usually get to actually respond to any mention of me cause it's usually someone freaking out after I walked the same way as them for .01 seconds and I die to voting) but I tend to be slightly more active as crew

[manic spindle]

There are 2 primary problems with the expert tag right now.

1. Ego. Players with inflated egos are attracted to this tag. You cannot fix this problem.
2. Filters. Players with 0 tag filters enabled see expert lobbies. This makes sense but leads to inexperienced players joining expert.

[quartz folio]

Hello

[rich notch]

Yep

[floral plume]

in these cases we have genuine evidence because you give your location, and you actually articulate that it must be a shapeshifter

I'm talking about people that just say "ss", and that's it

[floral plume]

I do shapeshift every round

[still ice]

fair

[floral plume]

on Mira HQ I often shapeshift into someone that says they have scan the moment the round starts and then wait at medbay for them to arrive

at which point they either run away or just stand there flabbergasted

[still ice]

i have ss timer set somewhat short, so you have to be choosy and careful about when and how you shift. you can't just run around willy nilly the whole round as someone else

[floral plume]

how low, something like 15 seconds?

that's enough to get a quick kill from running to a shapeshifter place and venting around

five seconds is just not doable

might as well be impostor or phantom instead

[still ice]

yes 15 seconds

[floral plume]

on that note, the moderation options in Among Us are honestly… not good

[still ice]

banmod is my friend

[pearl rune]

same

[floral plume]

the host takes full control in the lobby, while the entire player base gets control during the game—that's all well and good; however, it is also extremely easy to ban people in Among Us and kicking players is worth absolutely nothing because they can just come back unless it is done in the game

the menu for kicking players is terrible as well, because with this new "player left the game." drivel on it, it shows the names of players that left the game before instead of dynamically changing when someone leaves or just reloading the next time you open it up

there should be a confirmation dialog as well as reasons for banning, just like reporting; the two should be merged, and I personally think that other players should have the ability to kick the host in the lobby (the host should also be able to see how many votes are left before they get booted just in case they're being wrongfully kicked)

[pearl rune]

my only house rules are
-finish tasks, and THEN you can use cams,
-just dont camp them or group

[floral plume]

starting the game is also a bit flawed I think; for one, it always restarts the moment someone joins, which I feel like should be a setting, as well as the ability to change how long the countdown goes because otherwise it's just an arbitrary delay

the second, more important reason is because starting the game does not stop the lobby closing timer, meaning that if you have 5 seconds left and you catch the button "last minute", you already failed and the lobby is closing. the start button should stop that timer

[still ice]

heh uhhhhhhhh

[floral plume]

grouping is one of those issues that's also not an issue at the same time

[pearl rune]

yeah, its only an issue when theres like 4 people left and theyre all in one place, or theres 3+ people on cams at once.

the only reason I have this rule is because i have had issues with people going straight to cams first thing and refusing to do anything else. so i just have them finish tasks first, so that way its more fair on other crew and gives potential for a task win, espescially because my lobby has 8 tasks.

[floral plume]

because, like, yeah, the impostor is unable to combat that, but also the impostor is responsible for diverting the crew with sabotages and such. since the impostor does have control over where the crewmates go next, and the smartest moves on a game ending amount of players involve staying together anyway, it is the impostors' fault if the crew are able to group near the end of the game

it comes down to getting enough kills in rounds beforehand and creating enough trust and distance to ensure that you are not suspicious for not staying with someone or for staying with someone

there is a point in Among Us where you do essentially have to forfeit because there is no way you can win, whether it be due to grouping or because you didn't facilitate appropriate suspicions. and for a game that is a detective game at its core, I feel like that's okay

[pearl rune]

yeah, it entirely depends tbh, imo. in my experience, sabotaging can often make the issue worse- you've got everyone going to one place to fix the sabotage (especially if you sabotage lights or comms)

but lights more than comms can kinda help

[floral plume]

because even if you can't win with suspicions you can still bruteforce your way into victory by just killing people or by, yeah lights

[devout quest]

Any playing lobby with sound?

[pearl rune]

yeah like i said it entirely depends on the lobby itself

and the circumstances of the game as well

in general, i just tell people look, you can use the tools provided to you, just please do not just sit there, and for the love of God do not just bunch up in there. do your tasks first, move around.

[floral plume]

as a person who uses logs consistently on Mira, I have an embarrassingly large number of players I caught the first round under my belt

[pearl rune]

i dont really play on MIRA so yea

[floral plume]

once I was engineer and caught someone shape-shifting in greenhouse. no one was dead yet

[pearl rune]

nice

yeah my issue isnt that people use cams, its that they abuse them. i dont ban cams entirely bc thats just stupid.

[floral plume]

and then the entire game afterwards, every round we caught an impostor until the final one left before we even got to the voting screen

[pearl rune]

nice

i try to be balanced in my own lobbies. i want crew and imp to have a fair shot at winning given skill level

[floral plume]

I'm probably like one of ten people that plays Mira consistently lol

[pearl rune]

lol, i host Polus lobbies

[floral plume]

on Mira HQ it's…
…it's kinda hard to be fair—

[pearl rune]

yeah understandable

which is why i said that would be in my lobbies specifically

[floral plume]

the most balanced settings on Mira I've found so far are just having settings for the roles to be close to their minimum and maximum values

[still ice]

mira is weird. its very imp sided for the inexperienced, but once you get good... ESPECIALLY if you're specifically good at mira, it flips to very crew sided

[floral plume]

exactly

it gets to a point where you're winning games consistently in less than six rounds

[novel sail]

hi guys

[still ice]

your games last 6 rounds???

[floral plume]

yeah, my shortest game so far ended in three, one for each impostor

[novel sail]

wait what game

[still ice]

i can kill 3 people in a single round all by myself. my games usually last 3 rounds +/-

[floral plume]

with only two deaths

[novel sail]

wait what

[floral plume]

Among Us

[novel sail]

mine had 8

rounds

we had hacker as well

in my next match

[still ice]

[floral plume]

yo, same, but that's only under really good conditions lol

[novel sail]

who got snitched by the other imposter once

[pearl rune]

yeah, i think its interesting how everyone has their own playstyles and preferences tbh

[floral plume]

if you're in a Mira lobby with me as shapeshifter and you happen to be scanning in medbay first round, leave immediately

[pearl rune]

-i might have to play MIRA more often now

[floral plume]

you will immediately die

[pearl rune]

lolol

[novel sail]

srry but what is MIRA

[still ice]

a map

[novel sail]

srry I been busy

wdym

[floral plume]

Mira Headquarters, the second map in Among Us connected throughout with vents

[novel sail]

oh

[floral plume]

home to the reactor hiding spot behind the purple blob

[novel sail]

I forgot about that

[floral plume]

and the satellite dish at balcony

[still ice]

i like that spot 😅

[novel sail]

that map has some hiding places

[floral plume]

Mira HQ is dead end city

[novel sail]

well kinda

[floral plume]

unless, of course, you can vent

[novel sail]

I hide somewhere

I just see if people will find it

[floral plume]

the greenhouse plant specimen

[novel sail]

maybe

[floral plume]

a good hiding spot until you realize the impostors can kill through it

[novel sail]

I haven't played for a while

because of my tests

but I've been playing other games

[floral plume]

[floral plume]

me—

I think everyone here has been snitched on by a teammate at least once, whether in the meeting or by them shape-shifting into you and killing someone without you knowing

I feel like ghosts should have the same haunt filters in classic as they do in hide n' seek

being able to directly haunt the impostors is something that should be present in both modes, and even more so in classic because guardian angels cannot haunt. ghosts having immediate and filtered access to the impostors allows them to report their location to angels with increased punctuality, making protecting more efficient

[novel sail]

that is alot of righting

writing

[drowsy verge]

Me quite alot

[hardy edge]

Hmm

[manic spindle]

Ghosts number 1 priority should be completing tasks, not haunting players. They should quickly cycle the haunt menu and then communicate imps in chat and that's it. There does not need to be a change.

(I'm of the opinion that haunting should be a toggleable feature in Guardian Angel settings. Turning it off turns off the ability for anyone to haunt, meaning that they will need to watch to figure out imps just like GA and GA cant instantly learn all impostor identites)

[manic spindle]

This would actually make GA possible to balance lol.

[manic spindle]

(Also an option where GA only rolls to spawn when a crewmate is ejected, not on every death but thats too complex for the average person to understand)

[floral plume]

this is really good, actually

what if haunting never told you the alignment of a player in the first place?

[manic spindle]

Eh. What if I haunt a player in a vent. Or haunt an invisible player? I still get information I shouldn't get for free to tell GA

[floral plume]

phantom in general is a weak role in terms of disguise to be fair, which is ironic for the role that should be invisible

[manic spindle]

GA's intended restriction of not being able to haunt is broken by just having a dead crewmate along with GA

[floral plume]

unlike shapeshifter, where you transform into someone else and have a net increase in visible crewmates, phantom shows off a net decrease which makes them easier to track, especially with the doorlogs

[manic spindle]

Like IS knew but didn't think that one step ahead.

[floral plume]

if you pass a sensor and someone on the doorlogs knows that you "weren't" there, you're screwed

[floral plume]

phantom should not be visible to dead crewmates whatsoever

having their invisibility visible destroys any chance of guardian angel needing to scout you out to start protecting against you; if they see you're translucent, you're now a target

however, having impostors still be able to view them allows crewmates to be more familiar with the movement of the haunting mechanic, so that when they see an impostor ghost going a specific path they can point out that they're following an invisible phantom. it also forces the impostor ghosts to watch where they're going which can make being dead more engaging

[floral plume]

as for players in vents... maybe it should work similarly to how GA protection after comms does

you can haunt anyone currently not in a vent, but once you do you can follow their venting

[floral plume]

treating ejection and kills as two separate deaths?

honestly, with the idea that poisoner is a role that can harm/kill impostors, Innersloth might intend to blur the line even further

[shadow mulch]

imma crash out I swear; the lobby loaded to 99% and froze AGAIN

can we not have that please

oh there is slothmail right I can just dm them?

umm which number do I use for game bugs?

[floral plume]

the loading screen isn't real lol

it's a timer

[shadow mulch]

either way the problem is that it gets to 99% and im moving around while every1 else is frozen and that happens when im host

it doesnt always happen but it happens often enough to make me crash out

[still ice]

unpopular opinion but games were cooler when there was no "haunt" to tell you automatically who was imp and who was crew and you had to try to guess it. games that are chaos all the way up until the last instant can be hella fun once in a while

[floral plume]

the game actually loads in by the time the screen jolts the first time after "Loading game..." shows up, after that it's just a timer waiting for the other people to show up that disconnects you when it reaches 99% if it can't start your game

[rich notch]

Yea even as a ghost I like trying to figure it out

[floral plume]

idk why this bug happens though :p

[shadow mulch]

does it happen 2 u as well

[floral plume]

yes, it's the host's end of the black screen bug

[shadow mulch]

r there any plans at IS to fix it or are they gonna pull a Mojang on us

[floral plume]

I think something is going on with their servers because this is happening alongside spontaneous disconnection from games

[floral plume]

they definitely will, it's Innersloth

[shadow mulch]

aight

bet

[still ice]

it happens 100% of the time that someone leaves or disconnects AS the game is loading

if they DC right after the game finishes loading, yer ok, but if they DC while its loading, eveyone is screwed

[floral plume]

I was a bit disappointed when I found that haunt wasn't hide and seek only myself lol

[shadow mulch]

I see

[floral plume]

does leaving the game also do this?

because if so, that could make for some really petty scenarios

[shadow mulch]

Also I can basically only play on Bluestax bc I get lagged and DCed on my phone

[still ice]

if you manage to time it perfectly, probably yes

[floral plume]

I have Among Us on every device I own that runs Android, but I don't play it on my Chromebook because it performs badly and disconnects too

sometimes I can get in about five game at peak performance and ||maybe let the intrusive thoughts win #among-us-general message||, but other than that...

[shadow mulch]

btw whoever wears that face on their visor is automatically sus for me

lol

I mean bro it looks so sus

bro looking at everyone like that bro definitely wants blood

<--- this guy is sus

[jaunty sail]

where is vc

[ebon osprey]

bro what

[stable fractal]

new gamemode idea: infestation, starts with 1 zombie (imposter) and kill is replaced with infest instead. when a zombie infests, it turns the victim into a zombie. zombies win if every crewmate is turned into a zombie. crewmates win when they've completed all their tasks (: all zombies are green, they look like the seekers from hide & seek but their tounge is green. also the button is broken... again

warped watcher what where u typing

[blazing cosmos]

cant wait for may 6th even tho i am broke 💀

[lunar swan]

😐

I wonder where you got that idea from

[stable fractal]

i thought of it where did u think i got it from

[lunar swan]

Among us 3D or the messhall event

[stable fractal]

no???????? what even is that

[lunar swan]

@grim lichen 💔

It’s sad that no one knows what messhall is

[stable fractal]

???

[lunar swan]

I’m assuming you haven’t play among us vr

[stable fractal]

true

[royal warren]

I do remember seeing videos of messhall and the zomburritos, but that's about it.

To be fair, having infection mode in normal Among Us would be interesting. I do wonder how that would work tho. Does EVERY Crewmate need to be infected for them to win? Will there be a timer or task based like in 3D?

[stable fractal]

yes.

[royal warren]

Imagine if something like this would be Olive's introduction to the game ( )

[stable fractal]

oh yeah, the visor is red and is cracked btw

[ebon osprey]

💀

[safe drum]

My group needs 1 more person for a 7 man game. Anyone down?

Or more. WHoever wants to join

[sweet roost]

[fossil fjord]

@safe drum Dm to play is not allowed in this server

Hello everyone

[inland gate]

Hi

[woeful ibex]

It's covered under rule 7 and also specifically stated in the #matchmaking-rules which do apply to the rest of the server.

[inland gate]

I just checked those too? Wasn't he just asking if people could join him in a round of among us?

[woeful ibex]

Yeah but instead of posting the code in the matchmaking channels he was having them join a dm group, which isn't allowed because we try to ensure that people don't get into sketchy situations that we can't moderate like dm groups or other servers.

[fallen apex]

@fossil fjord

[inland gate]

Oh ok. Maybe try to specify a bit more in the rules. No disrespect intended, but rules can be easily misinterpreted or misunderstood unless they're specific

[fallen apex]

Ey

Quien quiere jugar?

[woeful ibex]

Yeah, I get that it's not something a lot of people realize is covered, but it is covered in #matchmaking-rules which ideally people would read before posting (and also not use the general channel)

[woeful ibex]

English only here please!

[inland gate]

Lol
I was about to say that

No prob

Just be careful around mods and admins

[toxic quiver]

You're sus

[shell marlin]

[ornate hemlock]

Anyone else play with Krol, Sharty, Blue, Scooby, Visualsoff or SupaHoppy? They're awesome. (If you like real expert lobbies and rules like no cams 🙂

[inland gate]

Heyy

[rich notch]

Rules like no cams doesn't feel expert, it feels more petty than anything

[ornate hemlock]

Really? Why?

[candid nest]

"Our imps are so bad they can't handle a crewmate on cameras. Stay off to not hurt their feelings"

[rich notch]

Cams is something imps should play around

[heavy shuttle]

today’s game of among us is really shitty icl

preposterous even

[rich notch]

The space that a camera can see isn't bad to the point where it's almost impossible to avoid

[heavy shuttle]

also the no self report rule.

dumb asf

[rich notch]

Just don't walk infront of the cameras, and if you're playing in expert lobbies chances are you either have a massive ego and suck or you're actually decent enough to know where cameras are and how to avoid them if need be

[stoic pagoda]

does anyone else have a problem w joining games, i try to join and it just tells me "You disconnected from the server. If this happens often, check your network strenght. This may also be a sever issue. It also signs me out from my account. Help?

[manic spindle]

Ehhh. On Polus I hard agree. On Skeld I disagree. Skeld cameras are actually the 2nd most overpowered single utility on all maps (first place belongs to MIRA admin)

If Skeld cameras get camped early it's very very restricting.

"Just kill the guy camping cams" Brilliant idea. You realize those red blinking lights are literally vitals in a good lobby?

[ornate hemlock]

I play skeld. On other maps I would probably use cams. (I don't exactly get the don't kill afk rule. The self and no imp reports I get. Some lobbies have that and some don't and the host is the one selfing)

[ornate hemlock]

Yeah I kinda adore it. …I also love killing the guys on cams cause no one will care. Probably even congratulate 😂

[manic spindle]

You likely misunderstood. "Oh the red lights suddenly turned off that means the guy in cams died and everyone I see with me right now is clear." It's brutal in a good lobby.

[manic spindle]

Any rule that restricts imp plays is a stupid rule. No killing afks is stupid because it's not the imps job to make sure everyone is ready before the game starts. No self reporting is stupid because it turns the megaphone icon from reporting a body into a "I'm clear" icon.

[rich notch]

I would like a setting to limit camera use time and add a cooldown if there is a limit set

Imo

[hardy locust]

i like how the banner is the card swipe

[lean thunder]

making it work similar to scientist vitals would be a good idea

[rich notch]

Yea

Togglable though

[lean thunder]

idk how people would like it

but imo it would be a good idea

[lean thunder]

or you being able to set infinity on staying on the cams

similar how voting gets

[rich notch]

Yea

[cloud mirage]

why i cant join the online games

[lean thunder]

what error is it giving you?

[snow solar]

I'm still trying to get over the fact that the "expert" lobbys have noobs to around lvl 4 or below... They think they have high ego but in reality they are just throwing the game

[rustic dagger]

Honestly, It's the worst and nonsensical "rule" that some hosts could come up with

Self-reporting is a way to avoid suspicion for impostors, it doesn't need to be virtually "illegal"

[snow solar]

I use it a few times

Really helpful

[rustic dagger]

Yeah, take the 'no self-reporting rule' made by those hosts for poorly executed reasons with a grain of salt

[acoustic karma]

How might I, as host of this gathering, procure at the very least players of decent skill and honour?

[rustic dagger]

hm?

Well I'm sorry if you were upset of what I'm saying

[oblique nimbus]

everyone combined literally have 1 braincell in among us. I was in a lobby and me and another guy saw an ss kill someone. We both said it and another guy claims he followed me and I killed. And randomass people in the lobby just said yeah lets vote them. W t f

[inland gate]

It be like that in every lobby server nowadays

[heavy shuttle]

unfortunately, people don't have the IQ capacity that exceeds over 80

some people are just really that dumb

[rustic dagger]

That's sad

[empty anvil]

hi

can i ask like how to open the free chat mode or switching from free chat to quick chat rn

[oblique nimbus]

Host was saying rules and I said guh and they banned me lmfao

Some of them are such snowflakes

[rustic dagger]

Damn

[rich notch]

Guh

[floral plume]

to enable free chat you need an Among Us account; to switch between modes you use the lobby filters. the modes are lobby specific

[empty anvil]

oh we just switch to at lobby ok

[floral plume]

the Fungle lookout binoculars allowing you to see four thousand acres of the map:

[rich notch]

True

[oblique nimbus]

Guh

[floral plume]

You were banned from the Among Us Discord server.

You cannot rejoin that room.

[rich notch]

Damn it

[floral plume]

no one in Among Us cares about there being nuance, they only want basic and clear accusations of people so they can get on board and vote them out. it's gotten to a point where people don't even try to eject the person that wrongly accused the guy they just voted out, even though that in itself is a fundamentally flawed reason to vote someone off in the first place

[oblique nimbus]

That is definitely a Nerdly™️ way of saying people are dumb and only listen to the loudest voice.

[floral plume]

any sort of defense or idea that can be proposed during the game, no matter how tame it is, will always be translated to its most extreme version by crewmates like that. if you say something like, hey, purple is sus, I saw him next to the fake task in reactor but I don't know if he was actually faking it, the crew will interpret that as vote purple out he faked a task and just vote him out even if you just wanted to bring suspicion to him and skip the vote

people in Among Us don't treat nuanced and well-composed defenses as what they are; they translate them into basic, digestible ideas to immediately act upon because they don't know how to handle the game in a more intelligent, interactive manner. they literally just follow the basic goal of "Who is the Impostor?" and try to get them out as fast as possible, dwindling crewmate numbers be damned

[bitter pike]

Yo chat

Im new here like texting
