STEVE is LOCKED IN with the *NEW* AURIAL ROLE!

[@AmongUsAcademy]

31:41 Steve talks about the latest stats video and how Hafu has the highest Impostor and Neutral Killer Winrate. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWmmfKycraatha8si=hkqyaJ4qmv8GS8a2 Do you agree with Steve? Hafu gets away with more and the lobby is afraid to vote her out, hence why’s she topping the stats?

[@choco1101]

Steve is right. But it's also true emotions are part of the game. Hafu is a killer that would chew their heads off. They are scared.

[@droggietan6190]

Yeap, I 100% agree with him

[@tortillachips3911]

it feels like the people who go off vibes more than logic tend to feel worse pushing her when she's actually bad because she's so good at meetings and can be really intense as a baddie sometimes

[@pdpgb]

I've been saying this for years. You don't get to accuse hafu without hard evidence or she gets mad but she'll accuse people based on pathing or sheriff shoot 5up round 1 then claim it was some genius play. I still remember that time Toast sniffed her out and tried to do his usual content meeting but she got so mad he backed off and basically just let her win. After the game she was still salty. At this point it's just an unwritten rule not to "ruin her imposter games" unless she gets hard caught. But other people might get voted on 10 because of no clear and vibes.

I know right! Ant would've completely thrown the game for everyone and ensured the imposter won by voting themselves. What Abe did was probably the only win condition he had.

[@Squall598]

@@torturapesnorrarape Was that the one where he guessed most of the lobby? Dude low key went around spying on people to gain clues to what roles they might have. Gets found out as imposter and just goes on a murder spree.

[@RenaldoMun]

100% agree with Steve that hafu is not voted even when known to be bad. She is given more skips and benefit of the doubt. Ellen, courtilly, junk, kara are not given that same grace. Reason why would be pure speculation, but clearly a bias to not vote hafu.

[@allyson2day]

I think it’s because she’s the one who kind of puts together the lobbies and invites people to “her” lobbies so it’s like a host advantage where they don’t want to go hard on her because she’s the one who invites them to play.

[@danem2215]

Hasn't DD been hosting these for a while now?

[@allyson2day]

@danem2215 yeah, I mean I think he creates the actual game lobbies but Hafu is basically the OG behind putting together the morning lobby. I'm just saying she holds a lot of respect from the others since she the reason they have the lobby (and have made money from it) anyway.

[@TF2Thrifty]

@@RenaldoMun why are people so confused about this like it's a conspiracy. Hafu has hosted them all multiple times, is their real friend(not a random collection of people who are nice but don't meet up irl) and they did it during covid. Social capital effects a social game, surprise!

[@RenaldoMun]

@@TF2Thrifty I didn't say it was confusing or a conspiracy. I am not going to take the time to rewatch every game to prove it. I also won't speculate on why because doing so downplays hafu's skill. She is one of the best. Ultimately my opinion is I agree with Steve's comment. Surprise an opinion in a comment section!?! Thanks for sharing your opinion. :)

[@MsCurufinwe]

Hafu is intimidating because she's willing to fight like her actual life is on the line as impostor AND crew. Koji, DD, and 5up do this as well, but Hafu does it more consistently from what I've seen. She makes it a huge pain in the ass to accuse out of nowhere, based on vibes, or with little evidence, so people are more hesitant to engage unless it's others that like to fight as well (i.e. DD and 5up).

huge clutch by “ab” 19:08

[@brianl9571]

Re: your final question about the "unwritten rule": I feel like everyone has the right to play to their wincon. I feel it's common in this lobby for an Amnesiac to tie an obvious vote for a chance to catch a crew role for instance, and you never know when an Imp might lie and vote you or the tides of sus might change last second. It's probably quite reasonable to have a house rule in sustained lobbies to that effect, though. Shout out to Abe for another excellent clutch, and a special shout out to DK, who often plays his best crewmate dectective games when he's the Jester. 😄

[@Userkangjihoon23451]

Jester should absolutely NOT vote with crew on final 3. That's their last chance to win, no matter how low the odds, so voting with crew is game-throwing.

[@ravenemir5208]

janet loves steve...she doesnt wanna hurt DD feelings but she wants steve to stand up for himself too

[@mr.e3123]

final 3 jester really depends on the mentaility of the impostor. because either you push hard on the impostor and hope the impostor is able to convince crew youre the impostor, or you push hard on crew which leaves an opening for impostor to sneak themselves into the good graces of the only remaining crew and then impostor proves loyalty by voting out the jester. but if the impostor catches on even the slightest that a jester could be alive youre cooked

Nothing against Hafu, but it is endlessly frustrating how it seems this lobby will never vote her out. Especially in cases like this where all the evidence is pointing to her.

[@TeaTeaGaming]

That’s just the truth though, everyone seems to be afraid of voting out hafu lol. Same with the opposite, I feel like Koji and junk gets voted out way too much, maybe there is such a thing of “naturally sus”

38:58 Do you agree with Platy, that it’s a dog move for Jester to vote themselves on final 3 when they were never getting another vote? Cause I definitely agree Jester needs to side with Crew if they have NO sus or chance of being voted

[@nayeo6n]

yes i agree with him 100% the jester should always side with crew if they have no chance to be voted out!

[@ILikedGooglePlus]

In Ant's mind, I think Abe could've voted him. He never sounded certain it was Hafu And besides, jester is neutral, I think they should be free to choose who they want to win at the end, although I typically prefer it if they switch to crew

[@JubbysDragons]

I think they should let the imposter win😅

[@arcanemaster8722]

I agree, but I don’t think this was necessarily doomed for Ant. I feel like votes were pretty ambiguous and Ant getting a vote isn’t completely unrealistic. If he pushed harder and accused Hafu he could’ve gotten a vote on him

[@CanTabOfWisdom]

I think it's not always easy to be 100% sure that no one's voting for you as jester and it'd suck to lose on the last vote because you didn't vote yourself. So mostly I'd vote myself just in case - never give up until the end! I also don't think there's any obligation to vote with anyone if you have no chance left though. Do whatever you want, if that means crew and imp are at the whim of jester then that's kinda funny imo

It's not an among us academy video if the title isn't about Steve even if he does nothing in the game

[@arcanemaster8722]

He’s not called bait for nothin’!

[@AmongUsAcademy]

Steve used Imitator on the Aurial role. While he was the Aurial, he could detect if people around him was using an ability. No one was. The Aurial “ability” is more a passive, sort of like investigator - so it’s always on - always “in use”. No information is also “information” as it means the people around you weren’t dousing, infecting etc

[@ChristianAkacro]

@@AmongUsAcademy Sure, but I don't think he even used that info or lack of info. Your title implied he used it to 'crack the case' so to speak when that wasn't what happened at all. *Before you changed it, that is.

[@AmongUsAcademy]

@@ChristianAkacroIf you want me to be honest, one of the most “Burnt out things” for making these videos is actually coming up with the titles and thumbnails. There’s a lot of mental fatigue to come up with an imaginative and original title each time. Apologies if this borders a bit into click bait. The 97%+ like ratio I think means most people think it’s fine. But I did take on your suggestion and modified it a little bit to be less egregious

wait skadj was the phantom role and had 10/10 tasks completed, why didn't he get the win? Also with the jester predicament, I'd disagree since the jester is neutral and doesn't win regardless whether crew or imposter/neutral wins, so they should be able to do whatever they like.
