Top 10 Dumbest Things to Do as the Impostor in Among Us

Is it weird that I never use the vents, like at all? I feel like using something that only the impostors can do just doesn't feel right and makes things obvious.

I hate it when people call a meeting to vote out the engineer just for venting.

Sometimes you haven't even had the chance to kill, and then you're already out.

The worst thing is when you're busy doing tasks, and then either a meeting is called or a dead body is reported. Someone goes "RED," but you know it was a Shapeshifter who killed, not you. It's really annoying, and they don't believe it was the Shapeshifter. They should remove the ejection of crewmates and only allow impostors to be ejected if they get voted out.

This can work sometimes in a stack kill, but it's very risky to pull off. Try to avoid this at all costs. Don't kill in high-traffic areas like the cafeteria or storage on Skeld.

Yeah, once I self-reported, this moron still said it was a self-report (random accusation). They still voted me out.

It's useful in some ways, but it goes both ways. Be careful. This is very risky to do.

I think I should fake a visual task. I will just turn off visual task animations, so yeah.

This includes medbay scan, asteroids, and trash. They have visual animations to prove you're safe. Don't fake these tasks.

"Why did the bar graph not go up?" Because you walked away from a task.

Don't go silent for too many meetings. Otherwise, someone will find you suspicious. At least say something, even if it's just here or skip or something like that.

I always talk during the meetings.

If you're black and yellow is the other impostor, and everyone agrees it's yellow, sometimes you have to backstab. Otherwise, if the vote shows you voted for, say, pink, then you look suspicious, especially if they are known to be innocent.

If my impostor buddy gets caught, I normally vote for someone random.

I have to play along. Even though I feel sorry, I have to.

Say cyan and white are trapped in electrical. If cyan kills white and vents when the door opens, chances are high they will be caught.

Someone attempted to do that to me once. Good thing I'm fast, and I escaped alive.

You know how if someone follows you and they won't go away, they're instantly suspicious, right? Well, don't do that because some crewmate will be paranoid and accuse you.

Unless, of course, it's the last three people.

So annoying when people do this (mostly they do it to me), but when they do it to me, it's more of a "Nah, I'm clear. Red watched me scan."

This happened to me once. I was so upset.

Were you Engineer hiding in the vents? If you hide in the vents and there are no Engineers, then your name is definitely written in red.

Sometimes this happens when it's a 1 Impostor game, or if it's a 2 or 3 Impostor game when 1 or 2 Impostors are dead. The standing impostor quits, and when it happens, they let the crewmates win.

Red (Crewmate): It's White.
White (Impostor): No, it's you, Red. Shut up.
"No one was ejected (skipped)."
"1 Impostor Remains."
*White left the game.*
*VICTORY (CREWMATES)*

Some players do that. They are usually caught doing it and end up voted out. That has happened to me too. Whenever I get voted out, I quit the game.

Sometimes this happens. There is an Impostor role called Shapeshifter, meaning you can shapeshift, but only if you're an Impostor. This means you will get caught doing this, so do it in private before killing someone.
