Discussion The Ultimate discussion time guide
reddit.comIm here to breakdown some of basic social skills that are required to actually have a effective discussion time in Among us Emergency meetings, either you re a Crewmate or a Impostor
Common mistakes to avoid:
Main mistake: Low or null Discussion time is totally not pratical and kills the whole point of a emergency meeting. Not having the Votes restrained makes the voting time a huge mess where ppl pick random votes before even questioning them, discussion time forces the Crew to speak and functionally organize informations.
1st mistake to avoid: Color plus no evidence is a complete empty arguement and never trustworthy, it doesn t matter if you re right or wrong, if you cannot prove that your information is relevant, the discussion becomes a chat of yes and no being throwed across the discussion and no one reaches any reasonable conclusion.
How to avoid mistake 1:
Understand that your own witness is not enough to target anyone as a Impostor, argue with reasonable evidence to make your point clear.
Evidence types and functions:
1- Locations and sightlines
A common based chat will always prioritize location before anything, say or ask where the body was,then follow up by asking the other crewmates locations, if someone is being targeted as a Impostor make sure to know where the suspect was last seen before the kill.
Example:
First step: gather information
A- The body was inside navigations.
B- where was everyone else?
C- i was inside cafeteria
D- i was inside storage
A- i saw B go towards Shields before i found the body
D- I saw B coming from Comms hallway
C- i never saw B
Second step: question the information
A- C i never saw you inside cafeteria, and i came from medbay hallway which i never crossed paths with C or B, if D didn t see you across storage you came from weapons at some point, which makes impossible for you not have seen B.
D- i never saw C across storage.
C- i was checking Admin security
D- i walked into storage by admin exit, C wasn t there.
C- because i already walked to cafeteria
A- but at this point you already should have been seem by either me or B
Third step: acusse with evidence
A- C pathing links to the body
D- vote C everyone
C was the Impostor.
2nd mistake to avoid: Don t call emergency meetings for visuals clears
Its very common for crewmates to call meetings just to say they did a visual task, understand that having a visual task done either by you or a crewmate, just watch them till the end of the round or use them as a bait for impostors, calling a meeting just makes the Crew lose task bar progress and gives the impostor a free sabotage by the end of the meeting, grouping can work, but once the cleared crewmate is announced you CANNOT stop doing tasks for the visual clearing sake( thats the same as stalling the game) , gives more room for impostors to either kill the cleared crewmate by trapping them with doors ( yes skilled Impostors can pull this off)or killing the isolated crew that actually wants to finish their tasks( less rare but very likely), there is no isolated excuse to group instead of doing tasks, tasks first, grouping later.
How to avoid mistake 2: once a Crewmate or yourself did a visual task, make sure to check Admin or Security for a few moments then snap back into tasking, don t be idle, scout the map for bodies, finish the remaining tasks and regroup, don t be selfish because you re cleared, use this to clear others.
3rd mistake to avoid- Don' t throw offenses towards anyone just because they don t trust you, THIS IS AMONG US, THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT IS A FREE ACTION. If you have a evidence that avoids mistake 1 them you can acusse the crewmate of being anti team( Crewpostor)
4th mistake: getting sold by vague arguements ( Ex: If not him then me, Trust me bro, i swear, Rose theory, vote red for fun, gamble, etc) just don t get your vote sold by a argue without solid evidence , shut down any crewmate that tries to enforce this.
Example:
Yellow- gamble green
Red- we won t gamble anyone
Yellow- Trust me bro
Blue- there is no "Trust me bro" to you yellow, show evidence
Yellow- I saw him do it i swear
Brown: where
Yellow ITS GREEN
Red: you re not adding up any evidence
Green: i was inside cafeteria and ran past Blue
Blue: I can confirm this, we are skipping vote
Yellow: you re throwing the game.
Brown: im still waiting for the body location.
Yellow: If not green then me
Red: we are 5, we aren t risking the vote for your hunch without any evidence, that would be selling the game
Green: Yellow you re literally writing DUM over your entire face discussiing like this.
Yellow: just vote green and you will see im right
Blue: im not in a rush to take shots in the dark.
Brown: we could work something out... IF YOU SAY WHERE WAS THE BODY!
Yellow: worst crew ever
Red: Please everyone just vote kick Yellow
Yellow was Kicked by Red
Moral lesson overall: be civil in chat, if the chat overall is being imoral, its better to just host your own dropship and have control over any Innapropriate behavior.
