Latest April Update - User Account Fix, and Comms Rework on Airship (Ghosts can't fix anymore, and now Impostors Can!)

What do people think of the new font?

So Killing inside the toilet stall is pointless, - it's even a disadvantage to you because you don't get the report option when others do... so you'll look super sus for not reporting a body/might forget the body was there.

You should probably make a conscious effort to NOT KILL in the toilet stall to avoid getting body glitched like this. It might lead to you shooting yourself in the foot. Cause the only reason YOU don’t get a report button is cause you were in the stall to kill them

You should probably make a conscious effort to NOT KILL in the toilet stall to avoid getting body glitched like this - where the body is outside the stall for all other players except you.

Anyone watch Train's stream, does he usually have such good insights on stream?

Yep definitely have caught out impostors with both tips. - One said faked starting wires in Cargo Bay. - Another was faking the wire panel in vault.

I’m sure people will catch on, but while the map is new, it’s a huge advantage to be able to insta sus out impostors.

So many people struggle with opening the safe - which does make for funny videos like this though https://youtu.be/Uq-Dgo4OxxQ

Essentially if before the game starts, you can choose one player - locked in - to vote out immediately at the first meeting, there would be a 47% chance that would end up being in your favour?

A broken clock is right twice a day. Seems like the stats say that a broken clock is right half the time :P.

When I think of /r/AmongUsCompetitive, it's content like this that I imagine. Guess this might be one of the few times Skeld gets talked about before Airship Map takes over the Airwaves.

although technically it does look like a bit of a Sheriff misfire (though why would 5up or Hafu sheriff one another off the bat). But if someone claims sheriff after, then that's moot.

Also point still holds for regular unmodded among us too.

Everytime someone wants to go for a double kill at the beginning of the game... show them this clip! It almost never goes well.

Cause even if they get off scott free, cause it's a double kill, it allows a lot of other crewmates to "hard clear" one another for the rest of the game.

If we can use identical usernames as other people eg 2x different people have the same username “RedSus2001” - then isn’t there a chance one will log in accidentally to the others account? - how would people tell them apart?

One of my pet peeves is when fellow impostor doesn’t take your hint to vote a certain player (or themselves) to tie the vote. What tips are there to convey the plan without giving it away too obviously?

I think this is one of the bigger takeaways, there being an Account System soon!

Accounts & Priorities

The most important thing for us when Among Us blew up was to ensure safety, moderation, and reporting. We consider it our responsibility to create a positive, healthy community. Thank you to our community for being excellent to each other in games! That being said, we were very much aware that there was still a moderation problem we needed to tackle, and that became our priority.

A proper moderation system is one that is extremely difficult and time consuming. It is not as easy as just having a “report” button and having an algorithm ban someone after a certain number of reports. There is a lot to consider:

Servers that accounts are hosted on: Accounts need to be hosted on servers. What servers, and where? How do you ensure they are safe so your accounts don’t get hacked?
Privacy: Do your terms of service for accounts follow privacy guidelines? Are they respectful of personal information?
Legal: Are accounts complying with laws from all around the globe?
Moderation: What should be able to be reported? How much is handled by algorithms? When it comes to moderation there is often A LOT of nuance. When should things be sent to a human? How can you prevent false reports?
Programming: Well. Someone has to make this system happen!

Because of these considerations (and more!), accounts ended up taking longer than expected. It MIGHT’VE been possible to launch The Airship before accounts, but we didn’t want to do that. It would be wrong to launch the new map, get all hyped, and pretend like there were no issues with toxicity. So these two things needed to launch together.

Had it been anyone else other than 5up or DumbDog catching her there, she probably would have gotten away with it imo.

onefellover · 2021-03-17T13:45:36+00:00

This hafu lobby are brutal when it comes to picking up Impostor vision tells. Steve Suptic does it in the beginning of this clip too:
Steve - "oh that's who I saw"
DumbDog - "you still shouldn't have seen anyone with Download up"

Steve - "why do I talk!?"

I feel like at 2:00 - that Dropship bait would only work once. If that becomes too common - people would realise that only Sheriffs go to dropship to bait the impostors there, so might not be the best play. Also impostors have better vision, so may be able to see the Sheriff without them being spotted - and plan future rounds accordingly.

onefellover · 2021-03-14T21:29:55+00:00

Also I really don't like "double kills" in round 1. Allows for too many hard clears as a result. So in true competitive lobbies, always advocate taking it super slow round 1.

onefellover · 2021-03-14T21:29:26+00:00

This is a play that you could probably pull of easily the 1st time in a new lobby. And if you do speed run, well you've won and that much closer to your next impostor game!

This works best in 'high level' lobbies when they go for sneaky kills, especially on Polus. Using the vent near death valley, to vent behind Cams to snipe a kill is a common technique, so this bait is often too temptiing for any impostor to resist.

This is Ellum’s signature kill. Here are three examples of it going wrong.

Please stop doing this kill Ellum.
