[@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.

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.

[@Twisted_Code]

13:40 the bit with the dead person's card being accepted after they get bodied made me laugh

[@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

"If they see someone do a visual task, they won't vote them out" Man, I wish the people I play with actually played that way. The amount of times I've hosted a lobby with visual tasks on, done medbay scan, and then gotten voted out later in the game is terrifyingly high.

[@FinalStar123]

I feel like i need to ask if anyone actually saw you do medbay scan and vouched for you during the meetings and wasn't dead when called

[@Hyperdisk]

I've had games where visual was my last task. Reported a dead body with 7 people alive. Told em it was my last task just to then get voted out anyways

[@bichonnation9494]

Hyper Disk there is a shockingly high amount of dumbasses that play the game.

[@ragingman7320]

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. We take note who is innocent and easily find who the impostor is. Don't give up hope, my dude. Since Among Us got popular, you have to expect newbies. Every game can be good or bad. Remember that if you are a host, you can kick anyone you want.

[@amitieltruth1003]

Same

[@sampate2130]

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

[@OneTheGo]

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]

I was about to say that

[@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.

[@najmasyafinkalahindi166]

Yeah, my brother made that mistake when accusing someone

[@strangecolouredbird]

Lookin forward to Matpat's hide n seek theories. There's a lot we have to work with.

[@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.

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.

[@zegaman00]

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.

[@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.

The thing about me when I play among us is that naturally I’m not a very devious person, yet I still win as impostor more than 50% of the time, but if I find a way to get past my weakness I could become a much better player. It’s like the saying you’re only using a bit of your brain power.

[@revampedharpy09]

6:30 just to clarify, that only really applies if the settings are set so that the bar updates instantly, some lobbies set it so that it only updates during meetings, or that there ISNT a bar at all, in which case this becomes null and void.

Matpat specifically mentions when they are voting the imposter out. Not the regural vote. If you are an imposter you will never vote the other imposter first. That's why the first person to vote for imposter will be considered safe and the last will be sus

1 thing I do whenever I am in a game: Make a person look sus slowly, and dont pinpoint them out immediately unless you're a crewmate. This makes others slowly start to trust you more than the so-called "sus" crewmate. Dont kill them so they look more sus than anyone else.

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.

Or if they fake wires when wires isn't a task. It's a common task, therefore if there's only 1 common, and everyone else did admin swipe and one guys on wires? That's sus.

Exactly. Wires, download, trash, and divert all of multiple steps therefore not filling up the task bar until all the steps are done. Yet people want to act like that’s not the case at all.

One thing that you can do to see if someone is lying in real life or among us is have them repeat their story backwards. If you make something up on the spot, it will be harder to remember what you said in the reverse way that you came up with it. So if someone says that they came from cafeteria into admin after doing asteroids before doing that trash task in storage, they’re probably safe.

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.

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.*
