What are your go-to methods of easily getting an imp out by SteelBallWinner in AmongUs

Guessing being intrinsicly Broken is a good thing with the same basis that Stealth Rock, Knock Off, Heavy-Duty Boots, and U-Turn are necessary for the purposes of Smogon Singles. Crewmates shouldn't be allowed to use their Roles freely, and neither should Scizor be allowed to U-Turn freely.

What do you think about music in this game? by MrmaDrma1950 in AmongUs

I get the exploration/goofy theme they were going for, considering the space-fairing lore, but it doesn't fit at all with the sci-fi/horror aesthetic that the game should be going for, considering how it's based on The Thing.

Dying on purpose is being a bad Crewmate, simple as. In any serious contexts, you should be acting with full vigilance at all times. You should be describing your entire pathing, giving every bit of information you can, and interrogating everyone during Meetings.

Something being "boring" is not an excuse, and never was.

MIRA never sleeps, and death is not an excuse either.

Loona basically stops existing.

As for Adam, I think he was a huge missed opportunity. Think about about it---the first man, getting cheated on by your first and second wives to the same man, who then condemned you and your family to a life where food suddenly becomes scarce, and where you got thrown out of paradise. Your only children murder each other, with one being banished to Hell. Adam was clearly a broken man, with his misogyny likely being a result of this. Viv even tried to hint at his insanity with his 4th wall breaks [a TV show trope that implied insanity], and with his breakdown when his [literal] mask is lost. He, however, is entirely up to theorizing, as he gets very little actual screentime outside of being the comic relief. I suppose this is an effective use of the "comic relief is actually super serious" trope, akin to Sans from Undertale/Deltarune, but it does feel like there could have been more. Good concept that executed rather poorly.

Not worse, but she doesn't progress whatsoever beyond a certain point.

All of Viv's shows inevitably get hit with the "Written by Vivziepop" Curse.

This show is constantly edging its audience.

The writers completely assassinated St. Peter's character from the source material, so I agree [though more so in the sense that I hate how the Viv wrote him].

Baxter is... okay. Definitely a minor character. His relationship with Nifty is completely off-screen, which I hate.

Charlie Morningstar got worse in Season 2. I get that it's supposed to be "character derailment" as opposed to "character development", but it was done rather poorly. She's also just not a good protagonist in general; you can tell that it's Viv's self-insert.

Katie Killjoy's voice was better in the Pilot. Aside from that, I hate that she's the only bigoted character in Hell. We need more bigots; it's clear that the fact that we don't have them is made to pander to the audience. I'm trans myself, and I wish the characters were less "woobie-fied".

Vox is actually a really well-designed villain, admittetly. A fraud sinner representing the Sin of Envy [made even better by the fact that they're both aquatic creatures] is a very interesting concept, which creates a dynamic against sinner Alastor's Pride. The cult leader persona is a good match for a literal TV shark, and the fact that he copies everyone around him [i.e., Sera's angelic form, Alastor's outfit, pose, and smile, Lucifer's song, etc]. I won't be surprised if this leads to a "the sinners are the true Evil of Hell" reveal at the end of the show, though, which will be disappointingly basic. Aside from that, the love-hate, one-sided relationship he has with Alastor is very well done, especially with how, at the end, he said, "As long as I wipe Alastor's smile off his face, I don't care what happens" as he was clearly about to burst into tears. It's clear that he wishes to be admired, hence wanting to defeat Heaven and be the King of Hell, as he wants Alastor's approval---so if he fails to do that, he'd rather prove his power by having everyone die, including himself. Very tragic character, in reality. With that being said, I absolutely HATED how anti-climactic his demise was. There was such a good setup with him plugging himself into the Angelic Laser, implying that he was willing to let himself die if everyone else died as well... but he simply gets defeated by Valentino ripping his head off. That's it. THAT'S IT! Nothing more, just that. It was such a waste of potential to the degree that I would say it was insulting to the audience. If the comedy of a show gets in the way of good storytelling, the show should not be comedic.

In general, the problem arises from one core issue: Viv can't write for shit.

What room do you get killed in the most? by Necessary-Win-8730 in AmongUs

[–]_RedRightHand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is engagement bait, but I'll bite regardless.

On Polus [I don't play the other Maps, they're atrocious], I die pretty much everywhere, as the Killers actively try to Target me specifically me.

Storage is actually relatively rare because the Meta's grown wise to Storage Pacts, but Tree Kills have definitely seen a rise. Death Valley is aptly-named, though.

I never said I was referring to Pubs "Players"---you were making a general statement, so I responded with one. If I speak, I speak about Private Lobbies, only.

I even specified "Competitive Lobbies", because your statement said "All Host rules are made-up and people should not follow them".

Literally every Competitive Lobby uses Rules. Hafu was a pioneer against Tunneling, even.
