  1. matpat:traveling i a group of 3 than 4
    me: matpat you can have a chance of teaming up with the 2 impostors

  2. This is the best video I've ever seen about this. I can't wait to be an imposter now.

  3. I always seem suspicious, apparently; Imposter or not…
    I think it's because I use big words, correct grammar and correct spelling, lol.

  4. What's awesome about this video compared to the typical Among Us guide is that it not only tells you what you should be doing as Imposter, but how you should be thinking about the game and how to approach it. I was so confused as a newbie for like 20-30 hours of played time, but then things started to click and I started to win more consistently. Thanks so much GT!

  5. You know how sometimes you kill little electrical and someone walks in when you vent

  6. An easy way to win in among us is if someone accuses you accuse anyone other than them they actually works pretty well map that you are the weirdest person in the world I love your channels😻

  7. Hey it finally happened on game theory, the only other one I remember was on the hunger games episodes

  8. Among us in theory: "I went to admin, swiped the card, went to storage, fueled the engines, went to upper engine, back to storage, to lower engine, and finally to medbay, where both yellow and I scanned. Both of us have verified, and yellow has been previously proven innocent by others, therefore both of us are necessarily not the impostors."

    Among us in practice:

    "Yellow sus"
    "Let's vote yellow"
    "I swear it's not me!!!!!"
    "IT'S YELLOW VOTE YELLOW!!!!!"
    "IF IT'S NOT YELLOW VOTE ME!"
    "I SWEAR ON MY LIFE IT'S YELLOW!!!!"
    "What did I even do?"
    "YELLOW VENTED!"
    "AND KILLED!"
    "AND FAKED TASKS!"
    "AND SEEMS SUS!"
    "What? How? We were playing for 20 seconds smh."
    "IT'S YELLOW!"
    "I literally did two tasks. How could I have done-"
    "It. Is. Yellow"

    Yellow was not The Impostor.

  9. You might think I am lying but I have played among us for a year

  10. It’s probably possible that the crew mates are humans

  11. "were just cremates sir. were meant to be expendable"

    "yeah we know"

  12. I have a separate YouTube channel in the making featuring my horror story universe as web series. The main antagonist is Lucifer himself and I will be playing him. This video helped me with the role in practice videos. Thank you!

  13. actually the best sabotages are lights and comms. comms disables the task bar and admin and cams and its hella hard to fix

  14. You know among us was supposed to be named space mafia.

  15. Played it for the first time yesterday. Really s**ed a* as impo. In my second round i was an impo and went into the a room, where i thought i was alone with someone else, killed him and then discovered 2 things: 1. another person in the room 2. The kill cooldown. Yeah that round was over quickly. Later I won a few round als crewmate. Actually not so bad, just go really fast on the tasks and keep an eye on the others. We actually won a few rounds by completing all tasks.

  16. Best way to get around in any map is go with an odd number of people.

    If a double kill happened in a group of 5, the survivor can tell everyone in the meeting who are the impostors

  17. How crazy would it be if 2 imposters in a game were out to get each other as well instead of teaming up like usual

  18. Every now and then Im reminded that League of Legends is still a thing.

  19. This is going to help me I am going in a competition and I need to know this cuz it's a cash prize.

  20. I am always focusing on the facts,the authenticity of everyones testimonies and the distance of other crewmates from the body.
    But no one wants to have a well organized and informative meeting.Instead,everone who i come to play with just calls an Emergency Meeting then never talk for the rest of the meeting,keep accusing,and voting with no real and definitive datas collected.

  21. 10:16 He's playing with DanTDM!!!! The name in his first among us vid is Eggz and that is the name in the clip!!!! And the exact same hat too!!!!!!!! xD

  22. Here are some other tips and tricks:

    1. Do what you would do as an innocent. If you go oxygen first, then go to oxygen when your imp or when your not. If you always check vitals, then always check vitals when or when not imp

    2. Learn the map. A lot of random imps sabotage comms, whihc becomes very useless at a point. If you know where you're going, then you can basically take a tool out of the imps tool box

    3. Keep everything short and simple. You don't have a lot of time, so skip out on grammatically correct. Yellow, turns to yello. Light green turns to lime, and dark green turns to green (same thing for blue). Don't turns to dont. Etc, etc.

    4. Use sabotages as distractions. If you kill in specimen on Polus, then sabotage lights. Move people way from your murder. Also, use reactor when you have to take one more person out to win. You'd be surprised at how many people don't use this

    5. Keep "notes". Make a mental check of who is innocent and who is sus. If yellow scanned, and they are cleared, then kill yellow. If red is sus, then let red live. This will even out the evidence

    6. When you are a ghost, sabotage WHEN NEEDED. Do just sabotage all of the time, let the living imp do that. If there is a good window, you'll know it when you see it, then sabotage

    7. Get a friend. This is what I do a lot with randoms, I just follow them. It's sus in the beginning, but as time goes on, you'll be more safe. If you go one long enough, you'll have a friend who won't snitch on you, so you will have a third imposter with you

    8. One point I want to disprove, a little, is the rambling point Matpat brought up. This is very difficult, as everyone in a random lobby is just, going to vote who ever is more likely guilty, and if someone is rambling out a lot of evidence, then you're screwed, so instead, disprove points.

    9. Know who you're playing with and what you're playing with. If you know that lime likes to sabotage, bring it up. If you know that blue follows people, and doesn't do tasks, bring it up. If you know that task bars only goes up when the meeting starts, brung it up. If you know that kill cooldown is 20 seconds, and the kill was 40 seconds ago, then you can use that as evidence.

    Hope this was helpful. You probably noticed, but I went into detail tips and tricks that will help in random lobbies, so do take this with a grain of salt when playing with your friends.

  23. clearly EVERYONE needs to watch this video. this moment is what i hate the most

    person: it was red
    everyone: votes red without asking info
    red wasnt the impostor

  24. Theres a way to kill a person even if your a crewmate

    Guys how do i vent like red?

  25. Here's a tip if your an impostor but 2pll are susing you

    Say i have visual task guys so you can
    At least kill a more person

  26. game theroy inspired me to make my own youtube chanel like flime theroy & game theroy

  27. There is something wrong with your theory. You assume Among Us players actually that sophisticated. Most of these guys are lonely teens looking for blob dates on chat.
