    Just dropping a note here regarding our Among Us-inspired Theory Wear...since we know no one actually reads the description of videos ;)
    We've removed the items and are refunding all purchases. My goal with both items was to play off of fun memes from our community, and at no point did I or anyone else working on the shirts consider the possibility that it could cannibalize sales from InnerSloth's own official merch, but I definitely see now how that could be the case. As such, we're scrapping the designs and are reaching out to InnerSloth to see if we can partner on an official basis.
    (Also, I unfortunately can't remove the promo from the video...but rest assured, none of the items are available any more. If you DO want official Among Us merch, here's the site to check out: store.innersloth.com/ )

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

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

      I think it depends on people's experience. I once joined a room where people would say they have visual tasks and most of us would come to watch them. We take note who is innocent and easily find who the impostor is. Don't give up hope, my dude. Since Among Us got popular, you have to expect newbies. Every game can be good or bad. Remember that if you are a host, you can kick anyone you want.

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

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

    A tip: there common tasks in among us that either every crewmate or no crewmate has. If you see somebody doing a common task when it's not on your list (like admin swipe for The Skeld) they're probably the imposter.

    The problem is that when playing with randoms everyone is impatient and easily convinced. If someone declares that it must be you then you’re getting kicked out regardless of evidence and they will do it before you have a chance to type your defence.

    At the beginning of the video. If you want to know if a word is spelled with "or" or "er" at the end, find out if it's a suffix or not. since "impost" isn't a word an "imposter" isn't described as "someone who imposts"
    like run -> runner
    receive -> receptor
    MOST of the time. I don't have the entire dictionary memorized and there are exceptions to every rule in English.

  • @readypickles
    @readypickles 4 роки тому +64

    I tend to always go to cameras. As a crew member, I can tell who the imposter is bu if they enter a room with only one path and never leave, or if they walk into a room with someone else and only they leave. Since I go to cameras every round, the suspicion is often never thrown on me because I can always claim I’m in cams and everyone trusts it. As an imposter, I can see if anybody goes into medbay and quickly vent over there to perform the deed and be back within 3 seconds. Nobody knows a thing.

      @Sunny 1983 Fair point and flaw to my method, however most randoms don’t camp admin, so it’s generally alright. Besides, for all they know, I wandered out to check on something or to do a task. It’s rather hard for them to pin a murder on me because I left security for 3 seconds.

      @@ruukinen so long as you don't perform all parts in front of the same person and there's no secret communication between anyone, it's more likely to lower suspicion than raise it. There's always a chance someone will call you out because they don't know multipart only raise progress on completion, or someone will be suspicious of you anyway and will try and find out if anyone else caught you doing the task in a round, but I guess every strategy has its risks
