AITA? I figured out an imp tactic that guarantees a win every time.

So I coined this play that tends to piss off a lot of players. Thing is, it works literally 100% of the time. I use it when I get caught out, and confirm ejects are on. It works 100% of the time (though I use it sparingly and only in very specific circumstances)

I am very, very good at the old "no u" defence. If you catch me kill, you better be damn sure you have witnesses, or your the first one going out the air lock. Doesn't matter who reports the body, I'm very good at going all out on a player and having them thrown out the air lock.

Now.. assuming we have confirm ejects on, and 3 imps, y'all know now that red was in fact NOT the imposter. We are back in the game, and you are all probably hovering around the meeting table, trying to steer clear of me.

I'll throw a sabotage to prevent an immediate meeting, and wait out near the table to take my free kill, since we all know I am the imposter. I'll try to do it with one witness, who will naturally immediately report the body.

The reporter will naturally immediately tell everyone I killed. My gig is up, I'm completely aware. I'll turn around and say something like "aww man this is so unfair. I thought I'd at least be safe in front of blue. This is BS. It's me, blue and green."

Everyone will freak out. A few big brains will go 'you idiots. He's lying to protect his partners.'

But here's the kicker. It actually IS green.

The next round, blue is going to be mad sus. Whether because of the low-brains not understanding the rules of a social game, or my partners making sure blue looks sus as hell, blue gets thrown out.

'Blue was not an imposter'.

'Damn. Imp was lying'.

Nope. And Green proceeds to dominate the match, because it couldn't possibly be green, since the imp was lying.

You get some people just amazed at the 4d chess move. Others go absolutely mental (usually the same that accuse you of cheating for lying to get out the guy that caught you in the first place).

Among Us is a social game, guys. Do remember that one of the tools the imps are suppose to use is the old social manipulation. 🙂

Use it as you will. Or remember it next time you throw out a crewmate after believing the imp 🙂
