      One game I was crewmate in Skeld. I did download in the cafeteria, then went into weapons to do asteroids (visual tasks were on btw) but there was a dead body. Obviously, I reported it and then I got voted out for 'reporting a body too quickly'. God, I hate when you join a bad or toxic lobby.

      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.

      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.

    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

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      Matpat did specify that voting early for the impostor means you're more likely to be innocent, because impostors are less likely to vote out their partners unless it's clear that everyone else is onto them. If you are the first to vote out somebody that isn't the impostor, than you are just as likely to be the impostor as anybody else.

    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. So try to ask them "how many wire tasks do you have left" before immediately voting them off. I've lost like this once and even if you feel extremely vindicated at the end it's not worth it.
