Tip: Also be aware of the settings, like for example, some players set it to where the task bar doesn't update until a meeting, or a dead body is reported, and some pro's play with visual tasks off, so just be aware of what the games' settings are

[@kiddtaviousk]

The part where you said "if you see someone at a task and the taskbar doesnt go up, theyre a faker" isnt actually 100% correct. A lot of the tasks like the cafeteria garbage ones have multiple parts to them, and the taskbar wont go up until all of them are completed.

[@silent6834]

"If someone was seen doing a visual task early in the round, they're never going to be killed by getting thrown out of the air lock" Oh Matt... how I wish this was true in public lobbies. People seem to often forget everything that happened past the previous round.

[@michaelmallia6462]

It happens in premades too. I was in a full party of 10 once. Lights went out and four of us grouped up to move towards it. One died, I reported it immediately and clearly said that one of the imposters is 100% one of the remaining three of us. Myself and the other one of those three who was crew both got killed the next phase and imposters won. Goldfish-like memory on everyone else: he was never suspected again for the rest of the game.

[@toadmadeofsoda6803]

A tip: there common tasks in among us that either every crewmate or no crewmate has. If you see somebody doing a common task when it's not on your list (like admin swipe for The Skeld) they're probably the imposter. So imposters, if you have a common task while others don't, don't do it and vice versa

The “progress bar didn’t go up” thing can sometimes make innocents look sus because multi-part tasks (wires) don’t make the bar go up until the last part is done

Also when mat was explaining the fake tasks part with the trash as an example which is also a multi task makes it a bad example

[@calebnielsen7861]

I’m soooo glad someone pointed this out

[@lastnamefirstname8031]

[@elijaskolka4660]

Hopefully this rises in the comments because most players don't actually know this and cause the game to go poorly for getting their suspicions wrong. A better way to explain this is to know what multi part tasks have a definite ending and follow that player through to the end of it. You will then know if they are to be trusted.

[@TocoaPuffs]

At the beginning of the video. If you want to know if a word is spelled with "or" or "er" at the end, find out if it's a suffix or not. since "impost" isn't a word an "imposter" isn't described as "someone who imposts" like run -> runner receive -> receptor MOST of the time. I don't have the entire dictionary memorized and there are exceptions to every rule in English.

Tip as Impostor; Head into Admin, and look at the scanner. If you see a room with two or more people in it, lock it down. The people in that room will become suspicious of each other, yet not of you, since you weren’t with them.

Another decent idea is while you are an impostor, keep track of who used their emergency buttons and prioritize killing those who still have some left while leaving those who used them up alive as they will need to find a body to do anything. Plus if they are the only people in the late game, you can guarantee victory sooner.

I think it depends on people's experience. I once joined a room where people would say they have visual tasks and most of us would come to watch them.

[@draconix4131]

My rule for Among Us is to not vote without any evidence. If there was no one nearby when you found the body, its not exactly a good idea to vote,because you have no good evidence. Also, always pay attention to the tasks you have because imposters dont know what tasks the crewmates have. Always travel in a group of 3 or more, because it not really likely that both your partners are imposters, because its inefficient for 2 imposters to travel together. Dont always vote out a person who defended the imposter, because its likely they were unknowing. Make sure someone knows where you are so that you have a good alibi, this ties in with staying in groups. Make sure that you give a detailed story of what your doing so that its less likely tor people to think that you are the imposter. If you want to kill someone in a 1 entrance/exit, make sure that there is no one around so that no one will be able to say you were in the room when you killed them. I hoped this helped, and I cant really fit any more advice into this comment.

What matpat thinks among us games are like: Crewmembers don't vote on safe people Impostors won't kill on cams or in front of others Crewmates do their tasks What the games are really like: (Yellow scanned) Cyan: Purple sus Lime: I agree Yellow: Evidence? Everyone else: SURE OKAY *Purple was not an impostor* EMERGENCY MEETING by yellow Everyone: what Yellow: Obviously its cyan they lied about it being purple Everyone: What that is ridiculous its yellow Yellow: I scanned! Everyone saw! *Yellow was not an impostor* *Impostors win!* *Impostors were Cyan and Lime*

False: the task bar doesn’t go up when you have a 2-3 part task until the final part is done; therefore, they are safe to fake while being the impostor.

This is just something I think but it's best not to kill someone who sussed you, it'll only make you look more sus. I let at least one round go by and then try to kill them. I mean, admit it, if you see purple call blue sus, then purple is killed, blue is a prime suspect. But this is also a good way to frame someone. Like if orange calls Yellow sus, maybe kill orange and then remind the crew that Yellow was sussed by orange, who is now dead. *Thanks for coming to my TedTalk.*

hey matpat when you are imposter, ALWAYS THROW YOU PARTNER OUT! let me explain. see sometimes you get in....those lobbies where they vote at random. so when you are in among us (after you kill someone) say the other imposter, because if a crewmate says "I saw red go into med bay with orange" and orange was dead, say you "saw it on cams" that way your partner can't blame you. as a movie says "you got to look out for number one"

For the meter, there is one *critical* detail: Partial tasks *do not* increment the meter, only a fully completed task. For example, the first two wire panels performed by a crewmate don't increment the meter, but the third one will.

6:16 be careful though, the task shown here: Deposit garbage in cafe, actually DOES NOT make the bar go up even if you are a crewmate, tasks that take multiple steps to complete will never make the bar go up unless you do the last task of that group (third wires, garbage in storage, spinning the last wheel for boiler room...)

DISCLAIMER: for multiple part tasks like electrical where it has three parts, the taskbar only goes up once you have completed all three. So if you blame a guy for one part of the wires that’s a big Nono. Follow the guy for all three parts and see if the bar goes up.

About the task bar thing: long tasks (which require 2 or 3 parts like the first and second wire) don't fill up the bar, but filling them all up does. So try to ask them "how many wire tasks do you have left" before immediately voting them off. I've lost like this once and even if you feel extremely vindicated at the end it's not worth it.
