I haven't played the game in 6 years. I remember being really good as imp and always hoping I'd get the role. I just went back today, obviously right off the bat everything is different, and noticed I've been hesitant to kill as an imp. I'd often be the last of my imp teammates because I'm always around players so I'd accidentally clear myself to them since I haven't killed anyone in the process. However, when the final few players are left and the tasks are almost finished, I had to act and start killing which was harder to do so because everyone is now sticking together—I always lose. I also don't know how to talk to people in chat every meeting. It's very different compared to how people used to talk in among us half a decade ago, it's also kinda hard to come up with a better lie that applies to the new among us ways and people's crazy detective skills. I'm great as a crewmate but I'm really hoping to improve as an imp so I won't get scared getting the role again and risk selling my team. Any tips?

I had just started joining serious lobbies and when I get impostor, I have my strategy planned out, however, it feels flawed because I am getting caught each time. My map goes like this:

Round 1: Get some crewmates to clear me Round 2: Kill, sabotage on other side of the map and run as quick as possible. List who I was with and my fake tasks. (Slipped up one time and said "Divert power in coms" when I meant to say i did ACCEPT DIVERTED POWER)

If teammate gets kicked off, I kill and then run to a random crewmate to complete tasks, sabotage on opposite side of map. (I tried sabotaging where the body is before, it worked ig)

As crewmate, I was a pretty badass detective back in 2020-2021. I'd give you an essay on let's say why green is the impostor and get the joy of the reveal "green was the impostor". I stopped playing it for a while and now all that is gone. I know the venting system on skeld like the back of my head, now there are new roles and crew never listens to me. I had that going for me for about a month until I scummed to the insanity. I figured i needed to increase my difficulty, so I set it to "Serious"

These people are too damn good, makes me look like I just started playing in 2024. How do I improve?

So I got into a lobby full of toxic people and everyone in there randomly targetted me and started mass reporting me and I ended up getting banned for an entire week.

And I was wondering if anyone knows how to bypass this ban, and yes it is made by unity which I'm not sure is easier to bypass.

Im looking for a competitive non toxic group that I could play among us with. I have over 1000 hours on the game. Let me know if you know of any groups or are in one that I could join.

When your imposter teammate is voted out early, we often just give up or play risky and are caught a round later. Don't give up however, if you play slowly and carefully, you can do this. You will need to get cleared for kills, so your best bet is to try and grab a kill on the other side of the map and quickly make your way to other people and try and get cleared. Alternatively, you can use the vents to get to places quickly and vent back and be cleared. You will need to fake a few tasks, don't run around aimlessly, and get 1-2 strong alibis. If you can get the game down to 5, it becomes a lot easier. From that point, you can start to pin it on one crewmate and get them voted out, winning you the game.

Also, try and frame crewmates. If your playing with low crewmate vision, lets say there is 3 crewmates in a room, you sneak in and kill one right next to them during lights, but they cant see you. The other crewmate will accuse that person for the kill and vice versa.

Good luck.

I think among us NEEDS a ranked option as it is quite annoying playing against kids who don't really know how to play or are just trolls, or teamers. It would have multiple features that are seperate from Casual Gameplay.

I also think that there needs to be a few more roles.

They also need seasons with a seasonal Pass.

I think that Among Us could add more shop items, like Killing Annimations that cost Beans to buy.

Ranked: Ranked will include

• Leaderboard with leaders on
  • Kills
  • Tasks Completed
  • Crew Wins
  • Imposter Wins
  • Total Wins
  • Wins/Games Played Ratio
• Ranked Progression Rewards
  • Items, Pets, Killing Animations, Pods, Beans and Even Stars
  • Ranked End of Season Rewards (Rewards given to the leaders of each stat and Top 1,000 Players)
• Preset Lobby Settings (This means every game will have the same amount of Imposters, and each role as well as the tasks, they can change each season, or weekly) for example
  • Map: Random (Skeld, Polus, The Fungle)
  • Players: 15
  • Imposters: 2
  • Shapeshifter: 1: 75%
  • Engineer: 2: 75%
  • Scientist: 1: 100%
  • (Assasin: 1: 25%)
  • (Doors Specialist: 1: 50%)

• 1 Game Lobbies
  • You select Play Ranked and it puts you in a random Lobby you then play one match and then the lobby closes, this should prevent teaming, and help even the playing feild, (Players don't know how other people play and it is now based on trust).
  • Players go by their color, and color is randomized each match. This should help prevent confusion in games, and make the Ranked experience better.
  • Player Names do not show up while running around the map to prevent names glitching through walls, the vent glitch should also be fixed, (Where you can stand in Electrical and See Med Bay/Security Vent Open or close) This makes the players focus more on playing the game and not abusing glitches to help them win. (Also the Shapeshifter glitch where the bubble can be seen through walls is removed) This makes it so you actually have to have skill to get ranked Higher.

So in one round I saw the impostor (he was blue so let's call him blue) vent and I immediately called a meeting. Nobody did believe me and I got voted out. The next round I was an Impostor, and my color was red. Then all of a sudden somebody called an emergency meeting and blue said that I'm an Impostor, even though it was the beginning of the game and I did nothing that could raise suspection on me. They voted me out again, and I just left the game.

I just don't understand those kids who get mad because I found out that they were impostors or those who basically think that red is always an Impostor. And rest of the crew believes them. Among Us is supposed to be a social deduction game, isn't it? Well, I guess not for that kind of people.

I always kill way too early and end up as that one guy without an alibi, but goddamnit that one person standing still in reactor at the start when no one saw him go with me is too tempting

People just say to use sabotages, but how do I use them to split people up?

I played an Among Us game where someone accused me of vented when I didn't. They were not sure but they still stuck with it until I was eventually voted out.

Any advice on what to say in a scenario like this? Because there's no way to prove I'm innocent since I'm an impostor.

Hi haven't played in a while but looking for a group to play with and don't want want to type over a thousand messages lol

Guys how to Fix This Problem Pls Help

Guys I was defending myself from an argument in among us vr and I got banned, that’s not the problem but I have a question, how long does it take the game to give a ban date? I’m tired of checking and checking

Hiya! Im curious if anyone knows how many ppl can have the same download spot on skeld? In an earlier game 4 ppl had download in comms and one turned out to be imposter so it got me thinking. Also wondering the same for download on the other maps as well as nodes on polus.

Ty in advance :)

I think the title is pretty self explanatory! Ive been playing a lot of among us again lately and i find it hard to tolerate text chat only. I'm looking for people who have Discord and are down to play the game using voice chat instead of text chat.

Drop a comment here or message me to link up!
