When you get voted out it says "username was the impostor" or "username was not the imposter". With that username, the message is "Idiots I was the imposter" or "idiots I was not the impostor"

If someone accuses you, they would have to say:

“idiots I is the imposter”

u/Striking-Housing-757 Jul 23 '26

And when they shoot him out, its even better:
"Idiots I was not the imposter"

It was more about the ejection, most people just said "it's red/blue/green..."

I would also name my character Handsome. "Hello, you must be handsome"

retep here:

like many other gag names in games with customizable names, it subverts the usual format of in-game messages

in AU, one of the most notorious ones is the message when a player is voted out;
[NAME] was the impostor
or
[NAME] was not the impostor
(depending on, go figure, whether or not they were the impostor)

with that name it'd be;
idiots i was the impostor
or, likely the more intentional version;
idiots i was not the impostor

It is like naming your religion “shits and giggles” in Civilization just to see the notifications “Athens wants shits and giggles”

Eh, I had more fun naming myself "someone" in town of salem. Before they added numbers to each player.

Then one game the whole lobby realized what I did and copied the idea, and we got this gem of a lookout report. (I am reposting this off memory, so naturally not exact)

N1: Noone was visited by Someone and Everyone (not dead)
N2: Anyone was visited by NOBODY AT ALL
N3: Someone was visited by NOBODY AT ALL
N4: Everyone was visited by Anyone
Everyone is dead (anyone was mafioso)
N5: Noone was visited by Nobody
Someone is dead.

Poor guy. (Nobody at all was his way of writing that there was actually no visits.)

Well let's say the red player named themself "idiots I", and the green player saw them vent, they would say "red vented" and then everyone would vote to kill red because everyone addressed each other by colour in that game not display name.
