[serene python]

[rich notch]

Lemme forward the message

[hardy edge]

[sweet folio]

Hi @hardy edge lol

[hardy edge]

helloo

[sweet folio]

Hi

[serene python]

Hello?

[low oyster]

I felt bad for people wanting old cosmicube coming back 😔

[hardy edge]

ikrr

im the lucky person ig that was still playing the game after years and stopped at some point late 2023

[hardy edge]

i did come back to it in oct of 2024

so it was less of a year break

[rich notch]

Here, this is why
Contracts

[hardy edge]

yea its unfortunate for the people that cant get it

[swift vapor]

Hello everyone

[rich notch]

It's unfortunate, but understandable

[still ice]

[royal warren]

what-

[low oyster]

Interesting

[hardy edge]

[hardy edge]

yep

[hardy edge]

👁️

[hardy edge]

yea

[royal warren]

Considering how some cosmicubes cost money (and some are somewhat expensive), I do NOT want to think how much the license costs for the expensive ones...

[rich notch]

Exactly

[royal warren]

I wonder if they've considered a Miku collab, and how many limbs it would cost /j

[shell fulcrum]

where to contact among us support? i have my account linked through google play on 2 devices but the device which i linked later is level 2 but my level on the original is 67
i can provide photos of both accounts on the account info ui but i dont have permission to post images

Cap frfr

[royal warren]

If it helps on something, the devs did mentioned some role ideas on this year's roadmap.

[thorny lance]

Ye ik about that I hope they dont suck like what they did with phantom 😔

[thorny lance]

I'll never use that role

[royal warren]

Phantom ain't that bad.

Let me guess "it sucks because no kill while invisible"

[hardy edge]

there's some changes in game files too but I'd rather not leak it here since im sure the devs dont want that to be leaked

[thorny lance]

Nope

You can literally get to a vent faster than it going invisible and most of the time the smoke goes through the wall and people will see it

[royal warren]

I'm pretty sure on their latest dev log they mentioned some changes that don't affect how the game looks so far.

[hardy edge]

yeah but theres definite changes in some strings as ive seen in the game code

[royal warren]

One point is understandable (Unless you kill on a room with no vent.
And the other one has a surprisingly easy fix.... Don't poof next to walls.

[thorny lance]

It is good for some things tho

[royal warren]

Same goes for SS (I've seen shift eggs trough some map walls like Skeld)

[thorny lance]

That's why I shift in upper engi fr

[royal warren]

I'm pretty sure the egg can clip trough non-solid stuff sometimes (let me test this though)

[thorny lance]

It can

[thorny lance]

It literally does you dont need to test it lol

[royal warren]

I think the best areas to shift/vanish are places with no vent, and specifically for SS if evidence is turned on, with somewhere to hide it.

Or any enclosed room while Comms sabotage is active (specifically comms)

[thorny lance]

I ss anywhere people rarely go like nav or reactor

[thorny lance]

Comms is obvious ngl

[royal warren]

Fair.

I remember seeing people say that Phantom is bad because it can't kill while invisible.
I just ask: "Would YOU like to die with no explanation or evidence out of thin air?"

[thorny lance]

To be fair you should be able to change it in the settings idk why they didn't add that though it just makes sense

[royal warren]

Balancing reasons.

As mentioned, it's extremely unfair for Crew unless someone is conveniently on Admin.

Both SS and Phantom have the downside of: If the Crew is smart, using the abilities is an airlock sentence (you're safe in public games)

[thorny lance]

Wait also I remember admin map being yellow at some point but I might be wrong

[thorny lance]

If crew is smart dont make it obvious.

[royal warren]

I thought Admin map is green, but players are displayed as yellow.

[thorny lance]

I meant the players on the map

[royal warren]

That's always easier said than done.
If the Crew catches on a SS kill, they ask for everyone's location, and most of the time there's someone on admin.

gtg, sorry, lunch

[thorny lance]

[proven marten]

Holaaa

[fossil ferry]

Sus

Among us

[fossil fjord]

#matchmaking-non-vc

[gentle prawn]

ok

[raw atlas]

yo

[pine gull]

Both Phantom and SS sound powerful, but in sweat lobbies they’re risky. Phantom not being able to kill while invisible makes sense—killing with zero trace would ruin balance unless everyone used Admin or Vitals constantly, which most don’t. SS is flashy, but if the crew is smart, one admin check or location callout gets you airlocked instantly. These roles are fun, but in serious lobbies, they’re more liability than asset.

[royal warren]

To be fair, Phantom can be used to escape more easily (or easly?) if one's willing to take the risk of using the vanish.
SS can also work during lights sabotages, or with normal Impostor kills.

I think when people get SS, they just don't care when and where they kill, since they're always disguised when doing so.

[pine gull]

That’s fair. Phantom’s vanish is a solid escape tool if timed right, especially mid-chaos—but it’s high risk, high reward. And yeah, SS works great with sabotages like lights, but a lot of players get overconfident just because they’re disguised. Smart SS play isn’t just about transforming—it’s about when not to. Reckless kills get you caught no matter the role.

[royal warren]

I'm always leaning more torwards being regular Impostor tbh.

When you don't have a special power, you're A LOT mre carfull on where and when to do a kill.
Usually in isolated areas.

[pine gull]

Exactly—being a regular Impostor forces you to rely more on strategy and stealth. No powers means every move has to be calculated, and you naturally play more carefully. It’s less flashy but often more effective in sweaty lobbies where mistakes get punished fast.

[royal warren]

I do wonder what will the 3rd role be, and how it would play.
I think the most common theory is that the "poison related" role will be for Impostors, and will do delayed kills.
(I'm not pulling this out of nowhere, Innersloth did mention a role involving poison)

Or if said poison role will even be for Impostors to begin with.

"Even More Roles! 2? 3?? 4???
We added the Noisemaker, Tracker, and Phantom last June bringing the total number of roles up to 7! Why stop there when we could introduce even more levels of deception and chaos?

We’re being ambitious and aiming to bring in… uh… 2? 3?? 4??? new roles this year. We’re still testing them out for ultimate fun-ness. (Real word I made up.) The goal will be as many as we can, but don’t yell at us if you only get 2. (Fun fact: We have about 12 different new role ideas cooking.) Our goal is to bring our own twist to roles while still balancing gameplay for all platforms, so it’s always an interesting science experiment. Hope you enjoy them when they’re out!

SPOILER: ||Right now, the most promising roles we’re testing involve poison and maybe some detective work… but we’ll see. 🧐 And now you get to brag that you have insider knowledge because you read the roadmap. Proud of you.||"

Fragment of the 2025 roadmap for Among Us.

[snow solar]

MORE ROLES

[royal warren]

That was mentioned by Innersloth.
(The fragment I posted is available for everyone on Innersloth's website)

[snow solar]

👍

[royal warren]

And yes, I take my time to read their devlogs when they come out.

[snow solar]

I don't even get to see the dev logs period

[royal warren]

I think they release once there's a new update.

[olive umbra]

Hello, I have a problem with my account level. Can someone tell me what I should do to solve it?

[royal warren]

I wonder if there's a pattern about roles:
First wave roles were 2 for Crewmates, 1 for Impostor, and 1 for dead Crew.
Second wave roles were 2 for Crewmates, and 1 for Impostor again.

[royal warren]

Your level reset back to 1, right?

[olive umbra]

yes

[royal warren]

If your level resets, reset the game (close and re-open I mean)

[olive umbra]

I already did it, I closed the game, I opened it and it's still at 1

[royal warren]

[warped blade]

Hi

[pearl rune]

[pearl rune]

[pearl rune]

Lol im gonna make some food

I had a pretty solid solo ss run

I had my friend fooled lmao

[still ice]

i had a game last night where my partner and i won with practically every person alive on 7 hard clear. (including the two of us) 😅

i'm making it into a video right now, because wow

[pearl rune]

nice

I had been on vc with black, who i killed early on, and it was hilarious

[mossy night]

I love they added roles in the game especially the ones they added for imposter like the transform into another person or the turn invisible function. Game has changed a lot since 2020.

[sacred halo]

Yo chat

[royal warren]

I do enjoy roles as well, and there's new roles on development too, apparently.

I still enjoy playing the 2v8 with no roles every now and then, a bit more relaxed.

[granite mason]

[mossy night]

Yeah don't have to mod the game on PC anymore now you can just play any lobby and still have it.

[royal warren]

porpl

I have the feeling that we may get new roles before the TV Show.

[mossy night]

Yeah me too.

[pine gull]

Your life sounds like the ultimate crewmate-to-couch combo. Tasks by day, hibernation by night—truly the grindset of someone stuck in Electrical for too long.

[solemn valve]

Hi guys I’m new here

Does anyone want to play?

Also why are there so many tabs, I sometimes will get confused

[pearl rune]

i mean im also in school ahahahashs

[solemn valve]

I’m out of school, I been

[pine gull]

Ah, so it’s the holy trinity: school, Among Us, and collapsing into a coma. Honestly, you’re just doing side quests between classes.

[royal warren]

Among Us UI? Discord UI? Which UI we're talking about?

[pearl rune]

lmaooooo yeah im playing rn

[pine gull]

the grind never stops. you’re either doing tasks or becoming one.

[pearl rune]

[royal warren]

"Rest In Peace" is never an option for a Crewmate... Literally, forced to work even after dying.

[sonic quest]

[pearl rune]

[low oyster]

Good work 😻

[royal warren]

I feel like we're Impostor HQ looking at how Purple is doing to take over Polus /j

[pearl rune]

LMAOOOOO

im on the Struggle Bus (imp edition)

THANKS A LOT TAN!!!! >:((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

[manic jackal]

we are....

[royal warren]

[manic jackal]

her imp partner

who left

[royal warren]

Ohhhh

[pearl rune]

we made it to 6

[low oyster]

Keep going purple 🗣️🔥🔥

[royal warren]

Nice, nice.
Try getting an alibi or a clear from someone, if this helps.

How many tasks remaining?

[pearl rune]

close to task win

[royal warren]

remember, better task defeat than airlock treatment.

[pearl rune]

4 crew + me remaining

[low oyster]

True..

[pearl rune]

the angels are pmo

[royal warren]

Most of my Impostor games end like this, I go unnoticed untill the defeat screen.

[low oyster]

I think imps would be hella lucky if I was a guardian
Because I'm just suck at it

Def not ignoring my responsibility and keep focusing on tasks

[royal warren]

I tend to be the support Impostor: I rarely (or never) kill, BUT, I can say I'm good at faking tasks properly.

It's muscle memory for me to close a task miliseconds before the "Task Completed" text appears, I save like... Less than a second.

[low oyster]

I always carried my partner imp though because they always get sussed on first 😭😭

[pearl rune]

I WON

I GOT A TRIPLE

[low oyster]

Yoooooo

W purple

[royal warren]

CONGRATULATIONS PURPLE!!

[pearl rune]

some walnut didnt finish tasks

[low oyster]

Prob the angel lol

[atomic aurora]

[royal warren]

They became so desperate maybe.

The startegy for GA is to delay tasks just a bit to protect, and DURING cooldown one does tasks.

[pearl rune]

yeah the angel was working overtime

[low oyster]

Angels tend to leave tasks so they can dominate the imps 😔

[pearl rune]

your vibes worked chat

[manic jackal]

YOOOOOOO GGG

[manic jackal]

PURPLE CLUTCH!!!!!!

[pearl rune]

the triple had me

i actually killed someone just before they could report

[manic jackal]

"NOT EVEN CLOSE"!!!!

[pearl rune]

and i was chasing my last kill because angel got em first

[royal warren]

I would've never been able to pull off what Purple did.

[low oyster]

I'm super glad that angels can't follow or else they would be op as hell

[pearl rune]

someone didnt do a task so that helped too

[royal warren]

I would've succumbed too early.

[lavish raptor]

Yo guys

[royal warren]

Hello there

[low oyster]

I would give up early if I was a phantom and my partner is useless 😭

[royal warren]

I would've still tried, but still losing because of tasks and angels.

Phantom ain't that bad for me honestly.

[low oyster]

I just can't be a phantom
Those farts are devious

[royal warren]

Always remember: better lose by tasks than losing by airlock/lava. At least you're alive on one of these.

[manic jackal]

nah imps can survive
(ig)

[low oyster]

I'd live ahh imp

[pearl rune]

Nah id live

i got this time

[low oyster]

whatever

[manic jackal]

true 😅
sorry.

[tacit cloud]

[sonic quest]

dude now i cant because of fucking nitro which is bullshit

i just cant customize my bio

its perserver

[tacit cloud]

did you say something racist

[manic jackal]

tbf i did ask if u wanted to talk, but i should've asked about dming

[sonic quest]

yes a bit

[tacit cloud]

..why

[tacit cloud]

i expected a talk in the server

[sonic quest]

all i said about was starting the game and thats it

[manic jackal]

yea but i didn't know if u were comfortable with that ngl

[formal salmon]

Hey guys,do you want to play with me? I have nothing to do. My wi-fi is stable but it can't show other server in Among Us when i press play. If you say no, I'm okay with it. I'm only saying,not forcing

[tacit cloud]

how is that racist
you're definetly hiding something

[low oyster]

Hmmm

[tacit cloud]

#matchmaking-non-vc

[manic jackal]

bro clearly u did smth to get perma banned

[tacit cloud]

you just said yes i said something a little racist

😭

[sonic quest]

it was discriminatory

[manic jackal]

also how is it a little racist.
Its either racist or not

[sonic quest]

and it was the chat

[tacit cloud]

what did you say bro

so was it racist or not

[manic jackal]

if they say it here, they could get kicked........

[sonic quest]

yes bad words

[manic jackal]

depending on how bad it is

[tacit cloud]

no like was that a joke or was it a slur

[low oyster]

Probably a slur in chat or in game name

[sonic quest]

in chat

[low oyster]

Mlem

[tacit cloud]

so you said a slur in chat and didn't expect to be banned?

[rich notch]

No wonder you're not unbanned

[manic jackal]

xD yea

[sonic quest]

i knew i was gonna get banned

[tacit cloud]

and you did it anyway

[sonic quest]

it was accidental

[tacit cloud]

?????????

how is saying a slur accidental

[manic jackal]

HOW can that be accidental

[misty nimbus]

The best you can do is either wait for a reply

But if the ban is permanent, there's microscopical chances your ban will be lifted

[manic jackal]

i assume they denied ur appeal?

[sonic quest]

denied

yes

[tacit cloud]

did you lie in the appeal too?

[misty nimbus]

They check chat logs y'know

[manic jackal]

yea so i don't think ur getting back into AU

[sonic quest]

the only thing i asked if they can delete my account

denied

[tacit cloud]

why

🤨

[misty nimbus]

That's another problem

[manic jackal]

so he could use the same name on a different account i suppose

[tacit cloud]

that's so dumb wtf

[sonic quest]

because i lost the email to the account

[misty nimbus]

You cannot request deletion on a permanently banned account

[sonic quest]

oh

[rich notch]

Because that could lead to ban evasion

[tacit cloud]

you won't need it for among us anyway

[misty nimbus]

Quoted from Zendesk:

Accounts that have been permanently banned in-game are not eligible for deletion. We don't want people evading bans, sorry (but not really).

[sonic quest]

but what if i want to log out

[tacit cloud]

why

what's the point

[sonic quest]

i apologized for breaking the conduct, and nothing

they didnt respond

[tacit cloud]

brother why would you need to log out anymore 😭

[rich notch]

Doesn't change the fact that you're banned

[tacit cloud]

"sorry for saying a slur although i knew i was going to be banned for it"

[low oyster]

Lmao

[sonic quest]

i actually didnt know i gonna get banned for it

[manic jackal]

bro u said a slur wdym you didn't know

[rich notch]

So you did, then you didn't

[tacit cloud]

"i knew i was gonna get banned" - you 10 minutes ago

[rich notch]

I give up, I'm going back to programming

[manic jackal]

cya watcher

[tacit cloud]

no wonder why your appeal was denied

[manic jackal]

i might do the same

[sonic quest]

im gonna just practice wasting my hours on among us doing nothing while everyone haves fun but not me

im done with this stupid game im deleting it

[tacit cloud]

you said a racial slur and got mad when the game banned you for it? yeah no im done

Hello guys

[quaint sun]

We don’t allow “dm to play” here

[gray nexus]

its been a while since i messaged here

[floral plume]

the misunderstanding here is that you think you're getting unbanned after a permanent one for something you knew was going to get you in trouble

if you're aware of what you're doing and you know it's going to get you in trouble, why do it? it's not worth the risk

[pine gull]

I don’t get it — it’s a surprisingly overlooked feature for a game that thrives on community-hosted lobbies. A proper host transfer system should exist, one that’s secure, deliberate, and protected from abuse. Ideally, if the current host wants to transfer ownership, they should be able to open a “Transfer Host” menu, select a player, and be shown a serious confirmation prompt like:

Once transferred, this action cannot be undone. The selected player will gain full host control — including game settings, kick/ban power, and lobby ownership.

Proceed with host transfer?

[Yes, Transfer Host] [Cancel]

This would eliminate the current messy workaround where a host has to leave the lobby intentionally and hope the right person gets host — which often leads to griefing, betrayals, or even being banned from your own room. It’s frustrating that a system so simple and intuitive hasn’t been prioritized, especially when it could significantly reduce lobby conflicts, accidental takeovers, and broken group dynamics.

[pine gull]

In addition to that, pre-selection host succession system would solve one of the most annoying problems in Among Us lobbies: losing control of the room just because of a disconnect or crash.

Here’s how it could work:

The host would have access to a “Next Host (Optional)” feature in the lobby settings. From there, they could quietly and anonymously assign a backup host — for example, if Black chooses Blue as the next host. If Black disconnects mid-round due to an internet issue or crash, the system would override the default “join order” logic and automatically promote Blue as the new host, even if Yellow (a random) was next in line.

This feature should remain completely invisible to other players to avoid manipulation or favoritism, and once triggered, it should not be reversible — similar to the regular host transfer prompt. That way, hosts don’t have to worry about bad actors hijacking their lobbies, especially in public or semi-private games. It’s a safeguard against chaos — and long overdue.

I just love typing lmao, u don’t gotta read, lol

[royal warren]

Trust me, most of the time I enjoy reading "text walls"

[lusty ermine]

amogus

[pine gull]

I hope Innersloth REALLY takes these suggestions into consideration.

[lusty ermine]

why is this not in my channel list

[royal warren]

I've sent a few suggestions, mostly leaning torwards a better practice mode, or a "Singleplayer mode".

[lusty ermine]

or am I blind

[royal warren]

I'm really tempted to suggest a map idea though...

[pine gull]

My suggestions are basically leaning more into making lobbies/matchmaking better than it is currently.

[lusty ermine]

what did match making update do btw?

don't expert lobbies and stuff exist for these stuff?

[pine gull]

It does, but tags were supposed to sort out each players; instead it was by default selected to no tags, letting these newbies easily sneak their way into expert lobbies regardless of what.

[royal warren]

Because of that "problem" I gave up on public games entirely.

[pine gull]

Sometimes I play in public lobbies if I observe that the players behavior are pro-like, and they have all characteristics of a pro player.

[royal warren]

Unfortunately I never find good or decent players, despite having the tag for expert.

I still get the "not the sharpest knife on the kitchen" players, to put it on a nice way.

[lusty ermine]

soo what did the update added?

[royal warren]

At least the most recent one, it was a minor patch and making a foundation for the next big one, I think.

[pine gull]

Attempted to “improve matchmaking”.

[lusty ermine]

I don't really see much difference on the match making

[royal warren]

To be fair, the matchmaking update helped me to filter lobbies to my favorite settings, unfortunately, no one uses that specific set of settings I enjoy (and consider balanced)

[lusty ermine]

oh right

[pine gull]

Most people have different opinions about what settings they should use & have, but not everyone is going to agree on the specific set of settings you’d prefer.

[lusty ermine]

so it added more filters?

[royal warren]

Even if I try filtering by visuals off, I find at best like 1 or 2 games.

Let alone speed.

[pine gull]

No. It replaced “Causal” filter with “None” or so I suppose.

[royal warren]

I do remember finding a seemly "expert lobby"...
The settings made me leave instantly, it was a glorified "no tag" lobby (Speed faster than sound, visual tasks on, 15 players on Skeld, 1 impostor for some reason)

[normal flame]

guys

can my friend who uses pirated play with me

[lusty ermine]

that doesn't look like it will do much

[normal flame]

and my other 13 friends

[gray nexus]

like the pc version

[pine gull]

At least not, but if you’re new to the game you can make your way up to the Expert lobby by practicing and learning from others.

[normal flame]

my friend uses pirated pc version

and my friends and i want to play with him

[pine gull]

Beginner -> Intermediate is a HUGE jump, ngl

[gray nexus]

probably not. I'd recommend using an emulator (free)

[royal warren]

(I've waited so long to send this, I didn't made it)

[normal flame]

i want to buy it for him

[royal warren]

Or simply using the free mobile version.

[normal flame]

but his parents say it will make him "ungrateful"

[gray nexus]

PC gives better gameplay

[royal warren]

I remember when PC version included skins that had to be purchased on mobile.

[lusty ermine]

really? I don't feel like intermediate players are that good

[gray nexus]

I really dont do tags

[normal flame]

is it fine if i just send him some files for the game

[lusty ermine]

i use taga for specify maps and the amount of imps

[pine gull]

That's because noobs are also in them, it's also underrated too, since considering people can train in different tags, it hardly ever gets the attention needed.

People that say “3 IMPS PLEASE!” are basically brain dead.

[gray nexus]

Oh I meant the difficulty tag. but i use others

[lusty ermine]

3 imps are way too many imps tbh

[gray nexus]

true with 15 plrs

[royal warren]

In public games, I agree. In private games, it could work in some way.
(I do understand and remember the whole "impossible to balance 3 imps" text, but I think there may be a way)

[gray nexus]

maybe ur on a kids acc

what is the light on the upper left corner

hi guardian 👋

[lusty ermine]

ahh prob, i mostly see beginner lobbies and expert lobbies

I can barely find any intermediate lobbies

[gray nexus]

i think rocket launchers should be added to the game

[tacit cloud]

hi

[royal warren]

Hello there

[lusty ermine]

that could work as a kill animation...?

[pine gull]

Saying “3 IMPS PLEASE!” is the clearest sign that someone doesn’t understand the basic balance of Among Us. It completely demolishes any sense of fairness, strategy, or pacing. With 15 players, 2 impostors is the sweet spot — it forces actual deception, forces better teamwork, and keeps the game tense without being chaotic.

When you throw in 3 impostors, especially in a casual public lobby, you’re basically asking for a speedrun. No one gets to actually play the game. It turns into a kill-fest by round two, and if the impostors are even remotely competent — it’s over in a flash. There’s no tension, no deduction, no “Who do we trust?” — just “Oh, 5 people are dead in 2 rounds, guess it’s done.” It becomes boring and lazy.

So yeah, 3-imps spam chatters aren’t thinking — they’re just trying to inflate their win rate through imbalance, and it ruins the experience for everyone else who actually wants to play the game, not watch it fall apart.

[gray nexus]

no just as a game feature

[lusty ermine]

no

[lusty ermine]

basically, a slicing festival for the imps

[royal warren]

I'm not a huge fan of 2v13 tbh.
Each Impostor is taking down at minimum 5, and one has to take down an extra 1.
Not to mention the problem if you lose one of your Impostor partners too early, turning it into a possibly 1v12 or 1v13 at worst.

I still think classic works at it's best with, for example, a 2v10 (12 players)

[gray nexus]

then lets make it a 1v15 (/j)

this can be fixed by reducing the kcd

[low oyster]

I just host two rounds and all of the imps are lazy af in both

[pine gull]

That’s a valid concern on paper, but in practice, 2 impostors vs 13 crewmates actually provides the most balanced tension — and that’s only if crewmates are smart and organized (which they usually aren’t in public lobbies). Let’s be real: most crewmates don’t fix lights, don’t watch vitals, don’t check admin, and definitely don’t communicate well.

So while it sounds like the impostors have to kill “6 to win,” they’re also playing against confusion, silence, and chaos — which already gives them a massive edge. The majority of public games are crewmates throwing, voting randomly, or skipping on 4. And impostors still have tools like sabotages, vents, double kills, and (if roles are enabled) powers like SS or Phantom to help clutch 1v12s — which do happen, and more often than you’d think.

Losing your partner early sucks, yes, but that’s the risk that makes winning as impostor actually rewarding. Otherwise, 3 impostors just steamroll with ease and there’s no satisfaction — it becomes a lazy victory, not a clever one. Balanced doesn’t mean equal odds — it means both sides have to work to win.

[lusty ermine]

scared imps?

[low oyster]

The crews just win easily

[low oyster]

Idek what's their problem lol
First win by tasks
Second the last imp casually dip

[royal warren]

I mean, for a public game 2v13 works decently well, not to mention the players who abandon at the start.
The concern is on private games mainly.

[gray nexus]

this is why I Mainly play: airship, moderate roles and 2v13

[lusty ermine]

the imps just suck then

[pine gull]

lol you got serious bean

[low oyster]

Lmao

[pine gull]

congrats

[low oyster]

:3
And I see you got cadet

[lusty ermine]

serious bean sounds funny to me

[pine gull]

True — 2v13 works fine in public games since crewmates often play sloppy or leave early. The real concern is private lobbies, where players are smarter and coordinated. That’s where it can feel tougher for impostors.

[low oyster]

I'm not actually serious lol
Just serious yappers

[lusty ermine]

ik

[low oyster]

I absolutely love 2v13
And that's fax

[pine gull]

13 impostors?? that’s new

[low oyster]

Stop 😭

[tacit cloud]

there's a crewmate among us

[lusty ermine]

i legit panic when I get imp if the crew is good

[gray nexus]

Task Reported

[low oyster]

This is me guys 🗣️🔥🔥

[lusty ermine]

😂

[pine gull]

There wouldn’t be an Emergency Meeting, do your tasks, get into escape pod and get the hell outta here

[gray nexus]

no its me 😡

[royal warren]

What I tend to do to balance a 3v12 on a serious enviroment is this (idk if this is precisely balanced or not):

-Kill cooldown: 35s
-Roles: Yes, for both sides.
-SS is severely nerfed, ususally 15s duration and 30s cooldown, leaves evidence
-Phantom is the same as default.
-At minimum 1 GA, rarely 2 (depending on amount cooldown changes)

The idea behind it is to punish bad plays, considering the kill cooldown is.

Crewmates not only have GA and Noisemaker granted to their favor, but the chance of Engineers, Scientists, and Trackers (3, 2, 2 respectively)

[low oyster]

Long cool down on imps would absolutely make ga op

[gray nexus]

what I tend to do with ss (and almost all other roles) is to give them low cds
this will give them more oppurtunities to make mistakes and get ⏏️

[royal warren]

And this is why GA cooldown is usually between 50s or 75s, protection always lasting 10s, and is visible.
Impostors can see trough it and wait a bit or rely on other person.

[pine gull]

That’s a solid setup for serious lobbies — punishes reckless Imp plays while giving Crew more utility and info roles. The longer kill cooldown plus role synergy (GA, Noisemaker, etc.) adds enough counterbalance to make 3v12 feel fair without making kills impossible.

[royal warren]

Usual Crew roles go like this: 20-25s cooldown, 10-15s ability duration.

[gray nexus]

true

[low oyster]

I'm actually getting smart in this channel since Cris and Zen appears

[royal warren]

As for maps, Skeld and Mira HQ are a big NO, those maps are too small for 15 players.
Polus is just big enough for that amount, Airship is just a maybe, and Fungle may be the best option?

[gray nexus]

I treat GA differently bc its a ghost role

[royal warren]

wait what-

[lusty ermine]

i luv polus

[dusty dagger]

You missed the times when it was me and Wulf back in 2021.

[low oyster]

Aww :(
I'm not active back then

[royal warren]

also, yippee

[pine gull]

Fair enough, but again — for better balance in a serious 3v12 environment, I’d recommend: Kill cooldown: 35s (keeps Impostors cautious but not toothless), Shapeshifter: 15s duration, 30s cooldown, leaves trace evidence, Phantom: Optional, but only in lobbies that really know how to counter it (otherwise replace with SS), Guardian Angel: 1 guaranteed (possibly 2 if player count drops mid-game), Engineers/Scientists/Trackers: 2-2-2 max, but randomized per game.

This gives Crewmates enough tools to counter coordinated Impostor plays without making it a role-spam mess. The idea is risk vs. reward — punishing sloppy Imp plays while still letting smart Impostors manipulate situations and win through clean timing and coordination.

[lusty ermine]

my friend sucks at among us, he killed a guy and intentionally poofed infront of 2 people

[royal warren]

I think the only change here considering my usual settings is the Engineer amount (from 3 to 2), I could try it maybe.

[lusty ermine]

(i was telling him to vent and try to Gaslight the crew into thinking it was a ss)

[royal warren]

Usually Engineers have either 60% or 70% of appearing, Scientists have 80%, and Tracker between 50% or 60%. Noisemaker is just 1 guaranteed.

[lusty ermine]

but he poofed instead

[royal warren]

what were they even thinking-

[low oyster]

When I was new to phantom, I thought we can kill people while still invisible, so I tried to kill someone in a group of crews and was met with disappointed

[tacit cloud]

t t t t TEAMER!!!!!!!!

[lusty ermine]

idk lmao

[pine gull]

Reducing Engineers to 2 definitely helps keep things balanced without overpowering Crewmates. I like how you keep Scientists at a high chance — their info is crucial. One guaranteed Noisemaker feels fair too, giving Crews that essential alert without flooding the lobby. Overall, your approach hits a nice middle ground between challenge and fairness.

[lusty ermine]

i was dead

[tacit cloud]

STILL!

[royal warren]

https://tenor.com/view/yes-yes-sir-yayy-kataman-gif-12260883688244422951

[lusty ermine]

and i was trying to teach him zawg I wasn't in the same lobby as him

i am not a stinky teamer

[gray nexus]

pls help me:
how do I implement roles into my game so that theyre

• keeps the crew with something to contribute on
• have possibility to have no role

[royal warren]

Setting roles somewhere between 50% or 70%, idk.

I never really understood how roles really work.

[gray nexus]

ok ig

[tacit cloud]

I always turn off roles tbh

[pine gull]

But NEVER make it 100%, otherwise it’ll completely ruin the possibility for balance.

[low oyster]

I heard from random someone that in expert lobby, there's usually no tracker at all
Is this true?

[royal warren]

Fair enough.
I'd say no roles is for a game with 1 Impostor, or 2 in the classic 2v8 scenario.

[lusty ermine]

lmao same

[royal warren]

I rarely or never turn on roles on, let's say a 1v7, for example.

[royal warren]

This is done for obvious balancing reasons.

[prime bolt]

Hi

[royal warren]

It sounds fun when you're the one stabbing, but beyond unfair when YOU're the one dying out of thin air.

[prime bolt]

Sup cris

[pine gull]

When I play with 10 players (1 Impostor vs 9 Crewmates), I sometimes keep roles off because with fewer players, adding roles can clutter the gameplay and make it harder to balance. Some roles like Engineer or Scientist can either feel too powerful or too weak in smaller lobbies, so keeping it simple helps maintain smooth, fair rounds. Plus, it speeds up the game and reduces confusion for casual players.

[royal warren]

At least SS has the counter of... Walking and following.
Killing while invisible sounds and is unfair.

[lusty ermine]

yea

phantom is still pretty good imo

[gray nexus]

yes

[pine gull]

it's underrated tho, people hating on it because it can't kill while invisible instead some bullshit stuff

[royal warren]

The way I view Phantom is as a "supporting or concealing" role, designed to make escaping a lot mor easy, at the risk of the clouds.

[low oyster]

Lemme doubt for personal reasons

[lusty ermine]

i used to be one of them until i actually tried to learn how to play w phantom

[royal warren]

If one day there's like 12 or 15 Crew-side roles, I won't be turning on all of them, I would test each one and find a balance.

If there's 3 Impostor roles, kill cooldown may get higher, but each Impostor will have a special power to compensate.

[lusty ermine]

same

🤝

[royal warren]

🤝

[pine gull]

Learn the basics of the role before making a judgement. In the early days of the new roles update, I used to get fooled so many times by this new “shapeshifter” role & win so many games as Impostor. Nowadays, it’s treated just like any other Impostor role, just with morphing abilities.

[lusty ermine]

sometimes I just wanna get phantom bc some lobbies nerf shapeshifter so hard

[royal warren]

Mine does: 15s duration, 30s cooldown, residue.

[royal warren]

This reminds me to the time where someone shifted into another Crewmate, killed, and reported.

Needless to say, airlock sentence.

[gray nexus]

Im on a 3 month no ss streak and I only get phantom. do you know how painful that is 😭

[pine gull]

Haha, yeah, that kind of playstyle definitely screams “instant suspicion.” Pulling off a shift-then-report move is risky and usually backfires fast if the crew’s paying attention. It’s a bold tactic but easy to catch if players stay sharp.

[lusty ermine]

I m happy w just getting imp

idc what imp that is, works out for me

i just want to slice some crewmates

[gray nexus]

its only like a 7% chance to get imp in a 15 plr lobby

[lusty ermine]

it works

out for me

[gray nexus]

and a 25% chance for 3 imps

[royal warren]

That doesn't sound too bad.

[gray nexus]

the shapeshifter is cool tho

[pine gull]

The impostor RNG is definitely weighted by player count, but it’s not just a flat percentage like 7%.

The game adjusts the number of impostors based on lobby size—usually 1 impostor for smaller lobbies, 2 for medium, and 3 for the max. So the chance to be impostor depends on how many impostors are assigned and the total players, but it’s more about fixed slots than pure random odds. It feels like the system tries to keep the balance fair rather than giving everyone an equal flat chance every game.

[royal warren]

Probably unrelated: Some time ago I had an idea that may or may not be good (I tried mentioning it here before)

[gray nexus]

yes i said it for 1 impostor in a 15 plr lobby (1/15 chance)

[royal warren]

please tell me this is hide and seek-

[gray nexus]

no thats just the lowest chance to get imp not somthing som1 would actually do

right...

[lusty ermine]

sometimes I get just basic imp but I am happy w it, i absolutely love the vent and sabotage ability

[pine gull]

Right, that makes sense numerically—1 impostor in a 15-player lobby is a 1/15 chance, about 6.67%. But it’s not guaranteed to evenly cycle through everyone. The RNG isn’t perfectly fair in short bursts—it’s streaky.

Some players might get impostor back-to-back, while others go 20+ games without it. It’s all luck-based, not a rotation. So while the math checks out, the experience often feels way less consistent.

also why 1 impostor?

[gray nexus]

same

[royal warren]

Trust me, I would be happy if I had a Crewmate streak.

[lusty ermine]

i remember I once got like 30 crewmate streak

[gray nexus]

lowest cahnce to possibly get imp

[royal warren]

i want that luck so badly

[lusty ermine]

do u always become Imp or smth?

[gray nexus]

dont make us envy you 😡

[pine gull]

1 Impostor in a 15-player lobby is the lowest possible chance to get Impostor, sitting at just 6.67%. It’s the most competitive scenario for the role. But again, RNG doesn’t care about fairness per player — it’s just probability per game. So while the odds are lowest, the distribution over time can still feel wildly uneven.

[royal warren]

I tend to panic and rarely kill as Impostor, I oftne rely more on being the backup/second Impostor.

[royal warren]

Every now and then at least once per lobby.

Except HnS, I love Seeker

[lusty ermine]

bc I absolutely hate seeing crewmate role on my screen... Unless they give me engineer or tracker

[pine gull]

One time, back in 2020 I got Impostor 5 TIMES in a row I won 4 games out of it and lost one.

[lusty ermine]

this reminds me when I got 6 imp streak

[lusty ermine]

i felt like the main character

[gray nexus]

this makes the game so much better if added

[pine gull]

Which do you guys prefer: HnS gamemode or traditional HnS?

[gray nexus]

whats traditional? you mean irl

[royal warren]

My usual strategy revolves around being the 9th Crewmate, with a rare deviation to stab someone.

[pine gull]

No, like you do it on classic mode, make rules and stuff.

[lusty ermine]

i think it's also called death run

[royal warren]

The gamemode tbh.
Traditional HnS was fun and all, but you had to rely on strangers to follow the rules and all that... Except Shift n Seek, I legit didn't liked that one.

[gray nexus]

hns is the official and is better. ( 🔥 music )

[low oyster]

ShiftnSeeks are fun if done right

[royal warren]

The HnS we got is a very interesting and probably good contrast with Classic.

[pine gull]

Sometimes if you screw up, players might offer you death run.

[lusty ermine]

calm to rock music love that

also how the seeker looks

[gray nexus]

Electric guitar sound every 2 beats 🎸

[pine gull]

I made up a racing competition yesterday lol.

[royal warren]

Classic sometimes is more chill and relaxed, slow paced, and tense on a way where you can't trust anyone.
Hide and Seek on the other hand, is chaos, screams, terror, tense in a way where the Seeker could be anywhere, at any corner.

I love the contrast between the 2.

[lusty ermine]

player with the best ping wins

[gray nexus]

I love chill hidenseek 😊

[royal warren]

Also, the music, I forgot the music.

(I think Puffballs made the music?)
If Puff indeed made the music, we might as well inster the piano on fire gif.

[gray nexus]

imo I like 2.5x speed on the first 3 maps with 10kcd and 2 imps

[royal warren]

im gonna go to the airlock myself-

[lusty ermine]

I like 1.25x/1x better

[gray nexus]

why do you think I'm tryna be funny (like in those shows)

[pine gull]

9 people, 1 imp, call a meeting at the start imp reveal themselves, and then everyone skips, the first group of 2 will line up just outside of weapons, imp will sab cafe doors after it reopens they will begin racing going to weapons shields, storage, lower->upper then come back whoever loses obviously dies hehe

[royal warren]

Same.
Slows speeds keep the game more tense, and makes critical sabotages actually critical.

[lusty ermine]

this would be good in polus ngl

[pine gull]

I don't why people are telling us to speed it up in lobbies with 1.75x speed are ass.

[gray nexus]

I heavily disagree with you. the game should be closer to 3x speed

[lusty ermine]

once again
🤝

[royal warren]

Slap a speed faster than light, and Reactor goes to an actual game ending threat, to a minor inconvenience.

[gray nexus]

makes airship a light jog

Imagine if calling a meeting needs you to complete its task

[lusty ermine]

i lowk forgot how the airship map looks like (i remember rooms and stuff but I forgot every path and stuff)

[royal warren]

Maybe HnS could benefit from 1.5x or 1.75x, but too much speed and the game becomes too Crew sided. Since Crewmates could simply pass by the Seeker with being barely noticable.

[pine gull]

There was this AU logic video I watched yesterday, after checking out a channel called “STA Studios” because I was bored; portraying a character named “Jeff” having 10,000 IQ which is impossible.

[royal warren]

I still remember the vent layout from that map.

[lusty ermine]

I don't remember anything about the vent layouts

i think I only played that map alot when it was first released

after that I started playing more polus

[gray nexus]

i still remember everything about ~the vent layout from that map

[royal warren]

I technically remember every vent layout (I know Mira's vents are all connected, but I don't remember the specific path of each one)

[pine gull]

I still remember remembering everything about the vent layout map

[gray nexus]

the closest ones

[lusty ermine]

i only remember elec and polus

[royal warren]

Skeld is the most easy to remember one, Mira doesn't matter too much (all is connected anyways), Polus is one of the more interesting ones, Airship is Airship, and Fungle is also somewhat interesting.

[lusty ermine]

after that I m cooked

[pine gull]

I remember Skeld’s it’s the easiest one

[gray nexus]

@royal warren i mean the vents youre in will be connected to the closest ones

[lusty ermine]

prob bc it's the most popular map

[gray nexus]

everyone knows everything about skeld

[pine gull]

Fungle on the other hand I have zero idea which vents lead to which

[gray nexus]

its well known not popular

[royal warren]

I know task timing and when to close it to save up .5 seconds 💀

[pine gull]

Does anyone know the vent layout for Fungle cause I don’t

[lusty ermine]

maybe

[gray nexus]

the vents on the WEST side are 4 way

[lusty ermine]

i only played that map like 3 times in my life

[gray nexus]

the vents in the kitchen connect to 2 more in the east side

[gray nexus]

and the lookout, comms and reactor are connected

[royal warren]

Reactor-Lookout-Comms, Above Dorm-Near Dropship-Lab-Near Splash zone, Kitchen-Outside Lab-Under Reactor.

[pine gull]

okay thanks

I barely play Fungle anyway

[royal warren]

Let me fact check real quick.

[lusty ermine]

is fungle a good map btw?

[royal warren]

This may be somewhat of a hot take, but I think Fungle could work on a 1v8 scenario.

[gray nexus]

good as in what
but generally ys

[pine gull]

I don’t like cams in that map.

[gray nexus]

its airships slightly younger brother

[lusty ermine]

k

sooo i think I will try to remember every place in the map

[pine gull]

The fact that the binoculars can literally see to anywhere is quite ridiculous.

[royal warren]

I think there should be 2 options for Fungle:
-Binocular alert: Casts a shadow over where the binoculars are currently looking at.
-Binocular multiuse: Either 1 player only or multiple players can watch Binoculars.

Other than that, the map ain't too bad I think.
Probably large, but not AS CRAZY as Airship, it's managable.

[gray nexus]

dont you dare say that about my baby

[royal warren]

I still like Airship and all (The only legitimate way to enjoy it is if everyone agrees to put on top hats )

[pine gull]

I completely take out player's rights to use binoculars at all, due to its op uses.

You can literally catch someone ssing without them ever knowing it

[gray nexus]

we need to remake this

[royal warren]

To be fair, there's no Admin or cameras to compensate that if it's just gone.
Also, remember that Mushroom Mixup and the vent that goes from Reactor to Lookout (Lookout where Binoculars is) exists.

[royal warren]

Heyyy, I got it right

[gray nexus]

best fungle task?

[royal warren]

Also, the little Green mushrooms.

[royal warren]

Roast Marshmallow.

[pine gull]

roasting marshmallows

[limber hearth]

I hate amoung us

[gray nexus]

marshmallow

[still ice]

the critter task

[gray nexus]

hey me too

[still ice]

then why are you here?

[limber hearth]

To hate

[pine gull]

Feel free to leave the server.

[gray nexus]

bc i wanna sympathise with him

[royal warren]

Unrelated: Everytime we go to Fungle, I dress up as a fishermen because funni

[limber hearth]

I'm kidding I love amoung us

[gray nexus]

dress up as a mushroom

{Airship Theme}

[royal warren]

If one day we're going as Toppat members, I'll be Reginald

[pine gull]

Polus theme next

[gray nexus]

speaking of whats the best camera place

[pine gull]

Of what map/specify?

[gray nexus]

{polus plays}

[royal warren]

If it's for Airship, probably the one in Meeting room.
Since it's a very isolated area, you may be able to see someone stabbing or running away from it.

[gray nexus]

aiship

[still ice]

(map made by Crewbait)

[royal warren]

I wish we would get another outpost or planetary base (No ofense to Fungle, I meant with a theme similar to Polus, like a more formal place)

[gray nexus]

i dont disagree but why

[pine gull]

Miraaaaa plays

[royal warren]

Mira is my personal favorite map.

[pine gull]

It's best for private lobby groups.

[royal warren]

I wish we would've got to see more of it though.

[pine gull]

And I can't go wrong with that, tbh

[gray nexus]

{MIRAA PLAYYS}

[royal warren]

I will deffend that Mira works at best with either 6-8 players and 1 Impostor due to size.

[still ice]

(map made by Crewbait)

[gray nexus]

wy do you keep 1 upping me

[pine gull]

It looks like a heart if you turn it in a certain way for this image.

[royal warren]

Well, I can't unsee it now.

[still ice]

color coded by which door log color

[gray nexus]

eng even with 5 sec cd can travers the whole map with just 3 vents

[pine gull]

And finally, for the OG map of all time Skeldddd plays

[royal warren]

Y'know, a terrible idea I had was to have more floors to Mira HQ, but as alternative maps.
And before anything, I know this would be hell to conceptualize, draw, and code.

[gray nexus]

nobody likes skeld everybody knows skeld

[still ice]

I do

[royal warren]

Skeld can be fun and all, I do understand if it's repetitive sometimes.

(still bothers me why no kitchen-)

[pine gull]

I mean yeah, but it's classic and chill and all.

[gray nexus]

bc they eat in O2

[pine gull]

I usually do a switch up now & then, Mira/Polus, never Airship, and rarely Fungle.

[royal warren]

Skeld is the medium sized map for 10 players, and where the classic 2v8 can take place.

[still ice]

(map made by Crewbait)

[royal warren]

Polus also works on this though.

[gray nexus]

airship is good tho

[gray nexus]

polus is more like 12 13

[pine gull]

I just don’t get the vibe of it 15 players is at best for the Airship/Fungle given their size.

[royal warren]

I choose map depending on player-Impostor amount.

[royal warren]

Polus also works for 15 players maybe.
Skeld and Mira HQ feel way too crammed and are too small for that many players.

[gray nexus]

it gives the vibe "there is an impostor among us"

[royal warren]

HnS works at it's best on either Skeld or Polus I think (I'm leaning more for Skeld though)

[pine gull]

I also do 3 Impostors for Airship, yes making it balanced too with 30s KC

[gray nexus]

3imps on any map is too much

[still ice]

3 imps is impossible to balance

[royal warren]

The way the map is designed (loop with middle hall), makes it so that there is a way to escape and survive, but not as crazy with the amount of open space on, let's say Polus.

[still ice]

I'm sad submerged pretty much died

[royal warren]

HnS on Skeld leaves little room for error for Crew, rewarding wise vent uses or predictions on where the Seeker may be.

[gray nexus]

it wouldve been popular if it was official

[royal warren]

I almost forgot about this map-

[pine gull]

While it’s true that three impostors increase the challenge for crewmates, balancing comes down to adjusting key settings—not just the number of impostors. For example, setting a longer kill cooldown like 30 seconds on The Airship can significantly limit impostor aggression, giving crewmates more breathing room. Additionally, tweaking roles such as limiting shapeshifter duration or nerfing special abilities further evens the playing field.

Imbalance isn’t inherent to having three impostors; it’s about how the overall game mechanics and settings are tuned. With careful adjustments, three impostors can create a thrilling but fair experience, especially on large maps with many players where coordination and strategy matter more than raw numbers. Saying “3 impostors is impossible to balance” ignores the nuance and flexibility that thoughtful customization offers.

[royal warren]

I never really got the chance to play submerged.

[gray nexus]

me niether

[pine gull]

I never even had the chance to play submerged, obviously because I’m a mobile player.

[still ice]

I set 30 seconds with 2 imps on airship. 30 is not "long" to me

[lusty ermine]

I joined a expert lobby and there was 2x speed with visuals on

[still ice]

oof

[pine gull]

Fair point—30 seconds might not feel long with two impostors, but with three, that cooldown becomes much more crucial to prevent overwhelming crewmates. The key is balancing not just kill cooldown, but also vision, task difficulty, and role effects together. It’s a combination of all these settings that makes 3 impostors playable without feeling impossible. So 30 seconds is just one part of the overall balance equation.

[royal warren]

those aint experts, those are new players disguised as experts-

[lusty ermine]

real

there were also 2 trolls who called an emergency meeting for no reason

[pine gull]

I’ve saw worse

[gray nexus]

lets say with 1 impostor there will be 1 guaranteed kill every meeting. with 3, there will be 3 guaranteed kills every meeting. and with the fact that 3 v15 is a 5th of the players meanes that they can win at atleast 3 rounds. and thats assuming they dont have enough kills

[royal warren]

My best advice for the game overall, one technique that applies to every map there is, and works for both Crewmates AND Impostors alike...

[royal warren]

NEVER play Public games if you love yourself a little bit.

[lusty ermine]

now I know why y'all hate public lobbies

[pine gull]

I’ve joined a lobby where someone had the imposter kc 45 seconds, visuals on barely any tasks, fast player speed a ton of unnecessary meetings short discussions/meeting times, and yeah.

[gray nexus]

but my frens dont like among us

[gray nexus]

they have a point but we have no choice

[royal warren]

This sounds like modified Core Settings.

[little badger]

Anyone want to play among us

[royal warren]

Fun fact: Core Settings' kill cooldown is dynamic in-lobby, it gets lower depending on Impostors and players.

[still ice]

it's more a matter of the amount of vote power 3 imps has vs 2 imps, plus the "vital numbers" you HAVE to vote by, combined with the fact that whatever you do to balance 3 inevitably hamstrings the ever living fk out of a solo in late game.... it is impossible to balance 3 imps

[lusty ermine]

eyy I got a warning

[pine gull]

It assumes all kills happen every meeting and that impostors never miss or get blocked, which rarely happens in practice. Plus, with balanced cooldowns, tasks, and crewmate roles like Guardian Angel or Tracker, the crewmates have tools to counteract those kills. The impostors’ advantage isn’t just about raw kill numbers—it’s about strategy, timing, and how well crewmates can coordinate to survive and identify threats.

[lusty ermine]

yea

[royal warren]

I never mentioned this: I usually put between 6 to 8 tasks.
2 common, 2 long, 2 short/ 2 common, 2 long, 4 short

[lusty ermine]

as a anti social guy who never vcs, it's a tragedy

[royal warren]

Or if I feel like it, more long than short tasks.

[pine gull]

it is core settings modified

[royal warren]

I think core settings can work if visual tasks were off, and the task bar updated on meetings.

The 20-15s kcooldown and the 4 tasks makes it somewhat fast paced, with 1.0x speed countering it in some way.

[pine gull]

Usually the more tasks a crewmate has, the slightly longer kill cooldown an Impostor gets, because you can’t have a 10 second kill cooldown when crewmates have like 8 tasks I wouldn’t even dare stepping foot on that lobby.

[gray nexus]

so the approx kill rate of 3v12 is the same as 2v8 but with an extra imp they are sometimes going to not get a kill in a meeting. even with the kcd off, the kills will happen after it goes off. and if its the last 3 maps then it could be likely to have 3 kpm (kills per meeting)

[pine gull]

While the raw kill potential is higher with three impostors, the complexity of coordinating kills and increased chances of mistakes often balance things out. Plus, crewmate roles and vigilance make it harder to maintain a perfect kill rate every meeting. It’s not just numbers—it’s about how the game plays out.

[royal warren]

I do understand the amount of power during the meetings though.
But if anything, that may motivate Crewmates into thinking a lot more, and use their powers (if they got one) to the absolute limit.

[gray nexus]

they dont need to co ordinate to rack up kills

[gray nexus]

and its also a matter of voting power

[pine gull]

That’s true, but quick kills from three impostors also make them easier to spot and vote out fast. It’s risky, not just easy wins.

[gray nexus]

thats somewhat assuming that they just kill in random spots. each of the imps with average decency will kill smoothly and it can go down to 2 imps when there are like 4 crews left

[royal warren]

Not to mention, considering Crew roles, and cooldown, reckless/dum plays are punished A LOT.

[gray nexus]

this is why I give alot of them low cds. experts will save those cds like its a long cd

[pine gull]

Exactly, skilled impostors coordinate kills carefully, making it tough for Crewmates to catch them. But that’s why cooldowns and Crewmate roles matter—to punish mistakes and balance the game. Lower cooldowns reward smart play while keeping things fair.

And well, can you REALLY solo against 14 players on Mira, visuals on, long kill cooldown, short kill range, long meetings + discussions, in a true expert lobby? If so, I’d be really impressed by your performance.

Thats an impossible scenario I know

[still ice]

i normally run 25 second CD on skeld/mira, 27.5 on polus, 30 on airship/fungle. usually 2/1/4 for tasks. i adjust up or down depending on if crew is doing well or poorly on tasks that night (believe it or not i've had nights where i was running a full 2/3/5 and still getting task wins).

[manic spindle]

Just play a lot of games.

[limpid crater]

I hate them

[manic spindle]

No one here is going to help you get kills faster. Most people here actually play the game because we enjoy it a lot.

Plat comes so easily that you are still only an average skilled player when you get it

[worldly hemlock]

im a plat hunter and i just wannaget to the net plat

tlou part 1

[manic spindle]

Most of us play the game to enjoy it. Most of us have achieved plat by just playing a lot of games.

The only way to make kills go up faster is to essentially cheat. Get a group of people who agree to throw the game asap when you dont get imp and allows you to kill everyone when you do

Almost no one in this channel supports that.

[pine gull]

Exactly. Trophies like that are meant to be earned naturally through gameplay. If you try to farm kills by having others throw or let you win, it kind of defeats the purpose of the achievement. Just keep playing and having fun—the kills and plat will come with time.

[manic spindle]

Kinda wish Among Us just didnt have achievements tbh.

They are kinda lackluster and lame.

But its also achievements for a multiplayer game so they cant realistically do anything actually difficult or spicy with them.

[pine gull]

True, most of the achievements feel like filler—nothing really rewarding or challenging. But yeah, with multiplayer games, there’s only so much they can do without risking people exploiting or griefing to get them. Still wish they were a bit more creative though.

[torpid dune]

is there any active lobbys going abt

[manic spindle]

I genuinely cannot think of any multiplayer games with good achievements

[pine gull]

I get it, it can be tough. Most multiplayer games either make achievements too grindy or too basic. The few that get it right usually tie them to cool, skill-based milestones—like Overwatch with its hero-specific challenges or TF2 back in the day. But even then, it’s rare they feel truly rewarding.
