Death Note has perfected Among Us

[@Oswerb]

Do you remember in the show how a fake L is broadcasted in a specific region of Japan, and because the fake L dies the Real L is able to determine and communicate that Kira out of the whole world is in Japan. This game is if Real L broadcasted himself with his name, died without clueing anyone in on his plan, and ended the show within the first couple of episodes.

[@Ellisepha]

From what I know, there is an L command where the L can set up a decoy.

[@Chroniclerope]

@@Ellisephayeah, they just need to raise investigation level to unlock it. Aka, theres no saving an L that gets themselves caught immediately.

[@TheJcjonesacp]

That’s a massive leap in logic, for all L knew he could’ve just been traveling or visiting the region. It’s a massively leap in logic.

[@Remystified]

2 types of death note games: 1: L is killed immediately 2: it takes 10 years for a game to end

[@Red-lu1rx]

There's no in between

[@cyrok4421]

Sounds about right

[@worthyedge9307]

Another way to put it is: 1: The L player plays bad 2: The L player plays their role correctly

[@Eira_99]

17:48 The fact that Cade yelled out "DO IT DO IT" to Dash, and Dash was the one who pulled out a notebook right after getting Jacobs ID, but then they still decided to vote for Cade for some reason is insane.

[@Swirls-oz2pt]

I want Jaiden’s epic rant about how much she hates this game in a main channel video

[@ohiowrslr14]

The number of rounds where they correctly vote for Kira follower and proceed to just give it to L is absurd. You'd think after like 2 games ending so fast the L's would start to pay a little more attention and realize that they have to assign someone else to the cuffs or you basically checkmate yourself. At least they ended up figuring it out after this session, but this was torture to watch live.

[@wrightcember]

literally!! theyre way too blasé about their L’s, L is supposed to be as hidden as possible

[@johndinner4418]

they figured it out but they haven't really adapted yet

[@RenShinomiya121]

this is their from first session though

[@durdleduc8520]

from what i can see it looked like most of the L's were just confused by the UIs and didn't actually pick themself, they just ran out of time to choose the jailer so it defaulted to them.

[@kitsunebiShake]

this is from their first session and they were very confused about how the game worked they don't end this fast in the second session but they honestly don't take the game too seriously and I understand them, they also don't tryhard among us like this

[@paintedpig3021]

Last night I was caught as Kira round 1, I panicked and gave the book away to my follower who immediately killed L

[@starplane1239]

Task failed successfully.

[@AriaHope]

Ive only watched a few vids of this game so I can't really tell how it's balanced so my thoughts here don't hold much weight, But having Ls death be an insta win for Kira seems kind of weird balancing wise, I think if they wanted to keep the weight of the main characters deaths while keeping things a bit more balanced they could introduce a second chance mechanic Where once L is killed, a random non Kira / helper person becomes Near (the character who looks like L but with white hair and replaced L in the investigation after his death) Near as a role would just be identical to playing as L, and killing them would end the game with no one else to replace them, but this would give town / crew / whatever the good side is called in this game a second chance They can also make it so Near doesn't replace L after a certain amount of time / deaths passes so Near just stays as a backup only if L dies way too quickly in the game due to bad luck Like I said before I don't know how the game is balanced so idk if this would work but I'm curious if anyone else thinks this could work Edit: forgot to mention, this would also give regular investigator players another chance to play as L, since as we can clearly see in Alpharads vid here, playing as invest game after game after game, gets kinda boring and frustrating.

[@asrieldreemurr1988]

Sounds like a good idea to me

[@dyslexicelf9380]

only thing is it would still result in a game ending early if you're really lucky get the 1/8 L kill and 1/7 near kill

[@SnowLily06]

This would make the game miles better

[@VForceWave]

I think Near should be a public role that everyone knows the identity of, and both L and Near need to die to win. That way, if you get lucky killing L, you won't know maybe? Also have it so Near cannot jail people to be more balanced.

[@arthuranderson4218]

Nah, that would ruin the balancing as L would be too strong and L wouldn't really have to care about losing their ID as much as they know they're going to be replaced

[@Clone_1355]

Even after watching lots of videos, I still don't undestand what is going on in this game...

[@Slop-e8o12]

Yh

[@capsgod4946]

Amongs

[@ChiIIi...]

What I understand of it. Is that there are 2 'imposters' whose goal is to kill a crewmate that's assigned the role of L. They do that by stealing people's ID's and writing their name down in the book.

[@madyc.5055]

perfect

[@apricot8301]

Watch the show.

[@key1526]

One time alpha was talking about how usually imposter games do much better on KZbin because the audience like to be in on the secret, but I hardly noticed that he was investigator the whole video because I was so lost the whole time. I don’t think being Kira or K would’ve made a difference

[@key1526]

Kira or L*

[@armoredanteater609]

Probs bc Killer Within has a shit ton more rules and nuances than Among Us, and the vod watchers have way more footage to watch and understand from

[@key1526]

@@armoredanteater609 true

[@tenacity25]

Imposter games are way more interesting in among us because there's so much more thought and nuance behind everything you're doing. There's so many more layers to that. The same applies to death note: killer within, even when you understand what's going on, except that applies to everyone due to how much is going on.

[@magicball3201]

Individually, each imposter is more impactful that each member of crew. Even not considering roles. Makes sense it's more interesting to watch them

[@floataway3]

The first stream and a half of this was rough as everyone figures out how to play the game. Once people learned, however, I think it stands well enough as a game on its own. I think it requires a bit too much sweat (vs among us where you can play silly if you aren't feeling it). But the back half of the second stream and the third stream were fun to watch. (Need to figure out the counter to the goblin meta Jacob discovered at the last game, though)

[@colmecolwag]

They figured out the counter to the goblin meta talking about it but it was after the last game (the counter is "follow around the ID Goblin so they can't pass the IDs off to Kira")

[@Chroniclerope]

Yep, if you think someone stole your ID, you have nothing to lose so just scream loudly and follow them no matter what.

[@Therealonetruejoe]

This is seemingly a reupload but because you’re not really sure what’s happenings the first time the second video feels like new!

[@nightflare27]

9:20 or so, I think

[@TheVercci]

So much of the meta for you to discover. L is fine how they are. L's just need to stop being stupid and letting people touch them. Though that's a general investigator problem here

[@Inabin]

☝️🤓 “so much of the meta for you to discover”

[@Tyjast74]

Maybe I'm just the worst but any game that makes Jaiden tweak like that is an absolute feast for me as a viewer. That rage was REAL and DESERVED and also DELICIOUS

[@GamerSapss]

It might be, I can't stand rants like that personally

[@matylinth3qu33n6]

When playing this game if someone gets within yoinking distance I scream "6 FEET 6 FEET!!" and run as far away as I can

[@ericeric2973]

Dude, I’m seeing a lot of the people who actually figured out how to play this game in the comments of this vid be rude about people who don’t know how to play, and it’s just like, fam, this game seems like a confusing mess. Plus, if you want other people to enjoy this game, maybe don’t be hostile to them?

[@GamerSapss]

I think it's more people are hostile against the game first by not actually interacting, or trying to with the game (see Jaiden). Some wants to play it their way and just be silly (see Cade/Altrive), but that only really is fun when you first understand how to play the game properly And then they go around and blame the game rather than see what they might be doing wrong, because people say they tried to play this like Among us, just to realize it wasn't among us, and then from there tried to figure out how to play it, and was frustrated when they didn't understand

They were definitely playing it like among us, and it really didn't work out well in this game which is much higher in game complexity and its expectations of player effort.

[@jonahj9519]

The game favors team Kira SO HARD that it’s insane. Like, their one disadvantage is that only one can kill at a time, but that isn’t such a big deal because they can just do that kill no where near the victim where no one’s around, making it much more difficult to sus them out. And if you do sus them out, they could just pass all their shit to the follower, so that when you arrest them nothing happens. Or if the person doing the arresting is the other Kira nothing happens. Or if you correctly guess who the Kira follower is but they don’t currently have any IDs on them and L arrests them, they can just immediately steal L’s id and win the game. And on top of all that they can just instantly win if they just happen to randomly kill L they instantly win. It’s so stacked in Kira’s favor it feels like the developers were salty that Light lost in the show.

[@throwawaydetective9080]

I’m kinda tired of having to explain why these assumptions are wrong. I kinda just wish I had a Time Machine that would destroy the existence of Among Us so that maybe just maybe people would play this game correctly as investigators.
