Has anyone played Among Us?

[Isis]

I've never played
After hearing more about it it sounds kinda silly to me

[MURDERCAT]

Well it is definitely at a different level compared to forum Mafia, but it's pretty fun I think

[Psyche]

silly has historically been a pretty positive descriptor for games!

I literally thought you were Shea

Sometimes I'll hear my son playing it on his phone.

"It's Yellow! It's Yellow! It's Yellow! Aarrrchh. I told you it was Yellow! I told you!"

I've played a couple of games on the mobile version. Felt like that was the worst way to play it.

Psyche do you play?

play is beneath me. i

compete

(actually i haven't played for like a month bc i am owned)

The gameplay is bare enough that it's functionally an excuse to socialize by different means.

if only more people here treated mafia that way tbh

NPR did a story today/yesterday about AOC playing Among Us on Twitch, the word mafia was mentioned

I wish somehow Among Us surge would make forum mafia more popular but it seems stuck working the other way around X_X

[MURDERCAT]

That was what triggered my recent reinterest in among us. Definitely watch the highlights if you haven't.

Love this game.

I find it interesting that the meta in normal mafia is always execute on an odd number of players. If its even, always execute outside of mylo.

And the meta in among us appears to be only execute when there is no doubt or a 50/50 or when at 5or6 or below players left for 2 imposters. 3or4 players left for 1 imposter

I guess its just because of the number of kills that can be stacked up in a short time based on number of imposters. I kinda want to play some games with 10 players, 1 imposter, smallest kill cooldown possible, most tasks possible. Just to see how things go

[MURDERCAT]

The biggest difference between among us and mafia is that there is evidence of who killed someone. Because of that, I do think it's often better not to randomly guess all the time (sometimes yes, but not all the time).

Having now played this for 45 mins, I am firmly of the belief I am too old to be good at this game.
