One time playing this game, as soon as the meeting aborted, yellow started following me. I tried to head to a task location, staying outside of their range, and they were clearly targeting me. I quickly managed to loop back around them and hit the emergency meeting button, explaining they had followed me. I got them voted out.
I was one of the impostors.
Art credit is Neytirix. Sad I don’t see their logo or anything :( very worth watching on yt.
Bottom right
Possibly also bottom wrong.
Ah you’re right, didn’t see it at first. My bad :S
The reason I don’t really like these games with randoms is because even if you’re really good at the game itself, the other players won’t necessarily play the game and just fuck around a vast majority of the time, making it unfun. And if they actually are playing the game to win, it’s too easy to be on the crew and impossible to win as the imposter because the majority of games like Among Us I’ve played favor the “good guys,” which is also unfun. 😮💨

Just fucking around is the fun for a lot of people
If you think Amogus is an utter insanity of discombobulation and randomness…
Try Space Station 13.
SS13’s insanity of discombobulation and randomness is fun because that’s the point of the game, though. There is no actual objective over than “the station is definitely going to die; let’s just have fun while it burns”.
I guess it’s very similar in a lot of ways but SS13 feels better to play to me because it feels like it puts a lot less focus on “winning”. Everybody is gonna die, either by syndicate sabotage or by engineering fucking up singularity containment. You’re just along for the ride.
You’re right that SS13 basically doesn’t have an actual… game, that everyone is playing, so the goofing off an being morons doesn’t ruin the game… becauase there isn’t one.
Various individuals will sometimes get specific objectives… but they don’t even have to do them.
Its basically a chaos simulator.
You can define ‘winning’ as surviving…
…or you can define it as ‘I transmuted a monkey into a clone of the janitor, killed the janitor and gave the monkeyman the janitor’s id, and even though monkeyman collapsed my cranium, no one realized the janitor was an actual monkey’.
And/Or Space Station 14
When people plays like that, just fucking around, I like to say that they are in “streamer mode”. It’s like tiktokers breaking stuff or throwing food to get views
Playing with randoms is often the best example of our dysfunctional society, haha
But I agree, more often than not, it’s a bad time. And after awhile, when the whole team is experienced, your last point is accurate as well. I haven’t played it since the pandemic, but with friends, playing as the imposter had an even harder time after awhile. I think we eventually just made up our own social game with a similar goal back then and had more fun deducing the imposter/murderer.
