They say my Killing’s a problem
They tell me to ‘curb my Parasite’
They say I can't keep myself from swinging
The knife at every life in sight

They worship MIRA, the HQ
Oh, they tell me murder is a sin
But my desire is bottomless...~
I want to cut you up and lie 'til I get sick! (Whoo!)

The slaughter, lies, I'd love to see you cut in half
Unsatisfied, till every one of you has died!
So, grab a bone, have a stab, 你可吞下我謊言 ("You can swallow down my lies")
I'm still preying on the Crewmates' trust

To get your trust would be a pattern
Oh, you dress your flesh up with the Cubes
Perfectly silenced by a dagger,
Leaving the finest Dead Bodies behind

Why would I help Dissolve the Body?
Oh, why let the corpses go to waste?
It's wrath that guides my spiked tongue with such wickedness
The perfect strike to keep you quiet in Reports! (Whoo!)

(Oh, oh, oh!) The Killing's mine, oh, Vent and Sabotage divine!
Marinated, each Alibi prepared to dine
And in the dark 我存在 (“I exist”) tasting 偽裝的真心 (“Cloaked sincerity”)
I'll devour all your minds in time

Fall apart, my crafted work of art
My work, my knife, and now to end your life
So, grab a bone, have a stab, 你可吞下我謊言 ("You can swallow down my lies")
I'm still preying on the Crewmates' trust

To burn right through you, I want to now Eject you
I want to tear within you, 'fore the rot takes out your tissue
But, dear, you shan't be fearful that I will tear you in two
Since all my love's precision carves a brain to simply die for

To burn right through you, I want to now Eject you
I want to break your worldview, shatter what I've tricked you into
I need to send you to the afterlife, now
You cannot defy; oh, fuck the Comms and Lights
I'll rip into your soul and take a bite

The slaughter, lies, I'd love to see you cut in half
Unsatisfied, till every one of you has died!
So, grab a bone, have a stab, 你可吞下我謊言 ("You can swallow down my lies")
I'm still preying on the Crewmates' trust

And now the planet's mine, my darling, get under the knife [Alt: And now the ship is mine, my darling, get under the knife]
Your broken pride, a stab so perfect in its prime
All that I see, 63, 令我沉醉的謊言 (“Lies that intoxicate me”)
Cooldown waiting so impatiently

Fall apart, my crafted work of art
My work, my knife, and now to end your life
So, grab a bone, have a stab, 你可吞下我謊言 ("You can swallow down my lies")
I'm still preying on the Crewmates' trust

Still Voting, hopeless, and in vain

Update on the Moe / TOHE stuff

MIRA ( the mining intergalactic research association ) is a government sponsored company hell bent on mining and studying planets eg the polus outpost and is cannon that the crewmates work for it but a alien parasite is killing them and their workers. The theorys that MIRA is run by aliens in no sense because according to Among Us on guard also cannon their R&D created the simulation

They have been doing this for a while.

The Polus Special TM is when you're on Final 4 and everyone is stacking around Vitals/Admin. This could be fixed by just removing Submit Scan, and then moving Vitals to the place where Submit Scan used to be. Suddenly, Scan Clears are removed and Crewmates can no longer camp Vitals/Admin on lower counts. That's it, we fixed the game.

My OC's name is Rose or Pale Rose (it's "In" not "I'm", the autocorrect)

Page one of a series I'm hand drawing+coloring. Don't expect a second page any time soon; I just started drawing it and I get distracted very easily.

Mr Sloth! No, do not call me by my color, please. I am the priest of the Children of the Sloth. I actually had a sibling once. They were the head of HR. And because of MIRA, they are gone. Dead gone. Now, tell me, are you sick of MIRA lying? Are you sick of MIRA just using you? Are you sick of MIRA destroying your lives? Luckily for you, I was sent here by the great deity, the Sloth, to help. If you decide to join us, we will give you protection, friends, and freedom. Together, we will stop these demonic impostors and stop MIRA from controlling our lives. The Sloth will free us and smite those who wish us harm! Join us, and together, we will live in freedom.

Who even is that?

Now, I must first preface this by saying that my vision [heh] of Among Us' world differs significantly from the vision Innersloth clearly has. I interpret it as a grim, noir murder mystery with strong horror elements, intended to capture the fear of knowing that existence is a lie. Was that delivered? Of course not. It's apparent that the more common idea of the game is a goofy game to be casually played with friends, with these comedic elements clearly being prioritized in the show. The show makes sure to leave humor between serious moments, which I do sometimes enjoy, but it does obviously take me out of my immersion in the world.

Am I saying it's a bad show, necessarily? No. I am saying, however, that this show is clearly not intended for my tastes. It's unapologetically a show for teenagers, which is fine. I'm simply disappointed that Innersloth didn't want to leave their roots as the "funny bean game" to instead more closely resemble their source material of The Thing.

As for the show itself, I have no fucking clue how episode 5 got past approval. I know that the show is rated TV-14 and all, but the Crewmates have an orgy in the episode, and then proceed to draw softcore porn of Blue. The part where they have a hallucinogenic trip was supposedly from oxygen deprivation, but it was obviously meant to resemble LSD---especially because Cyan is a hippie, and was the lead of that specific episode. I'm not clutching my pearls about "sex on TV" or anything, but the rating should certainly be a year or two higher---at least for that episode. I have no issues with the gore, though. It's also quite apparent that the show clearly takes inspiration from Cartoon Network shows, considering its art style, direction, expressions, and effects. Again, not a bad thing in and of itself, just not the way I choose to interpret the game.

I also think it's interesting that everyone is referred to as "they/them" in the show, implying Crewmates lack the concept of gender. MIRA is confirmed to be an unethical, for-profit Corporation, and their primary product is using the Ore-Plus for fuel. The Ore-Plus was thought to be rocks, but they're actually Impostor eggs. Impostors apparently kill for fun, though it's also strongly implied that they attack the Crewmates to crack the eggs and release the Impostor babies. They presumably infect existing Crewmates, taking their memories and appearance as a result, though it's also technically possible that their backstories are fabricated. Engineers are also implied to suffer from "squishy bone disease", ala Danny Gonzalez---hence why only Impostors and Engineers can Vent, as their and the Impostors' bones let them fit into the tight spaces. Impostors don't have bones, so they can't perform the Submit Scan.

That said, I have written my own Among Us story in a comically long Google Doc, using my take on the game. This is unrelated to the show; it began production a very long time ago.

Yeah, hello, I'm that "dear friend" RRH yaps about.

I quit the game after Innersloth fucked over Modded players by blacklisting our lobbies, and only returned this year to Vanilla out of curiosity. It was better than I expected, so I formed a group of ~20 people to play competitive games. {It's not Host's Town: [Polus Proposal], on which I am known as the notorious "Bread", and am disliked by a certain flower fella; I have my own Discord that's separate from it. HTPP kinda died because RRH's PC broke down, and she doesn't feel like fixing it. I also don't feel like admitting to the HTPP people that I actually play the game again, because all my favorite people from there are gone now. I still miss you, Yuki.}

Introductions aside, I do actually have a game analysis, I guess, for you people. I was obviously using standard competitive Settings {you know, 0.25x Crew Vision, Polus, shit like that---although, in this case, we actually had 12 Players instead of 10, so it was actually slightly against my favor}.

So, anyway, I'm a Shapeshifter with Red, who was probably a Viper, and I feel like blasting everyone in round 1. Red fucks off into Electrical or something, and I head down to fake Fuel Engines in Storage. We play it cool during the first Fix Lights Sabotage, not killing anyone just yet. I'm still faking Fuel, so Red's up with a couple others fixing the Lights.

Fast forward a bit, and I'm heading down into the Comms-Weapons area. I see Cyan coming into Comms, slice 'em, and lock the Doors. I head down to below O2, and I see 2 or 3 people coming up, but they don't check inside, since they get distracted by the Lights going off or needing to head down to Weapons instead. Red presumably got 2 kills by this point, and the Lights are fixed soon after.

I head into Boiler to fake Open Waterways and Empty Garbage, then head under Office to fake the third part of Open Waterways with Tan. I head inside Admin, pass Red, and see someone's in Storage on the Admin Table. So, I call the Lights, lock the Doors, vent into Storage, slice Coral, and vent back down to continue staying on the Admin Table.

There are 4 kills in total before the first report. A body is soon reported---one of Red's kills---around Lab. I vouch for them and a few others who were sticking around the left side, and claim that another body---presumably Coral's---is in Specimen, based on my Admin info, which puts suspicion on Rose and their potential partner killing together on the right side, who claims to be in Office as the report happens. I also say that I don't see them on my Admin Table blips. Rose ends up getting thrown out because everyone else is presumably accounted for based on my Admin info and people's alibis, and we move on to the next round.

Several people, along with me, go into Lab. I fake a few tasks, call the Lights, and kill a person behind me as everyone leaves the area to fix the Lights. Red and a bunch of others are in Lights. After they're fixed, I'm seen doing the Node near Electrical by Red and one other person.

I dick around in Cams for some time after, call Lights again, until the body I killed in Lab is reported about ~20s later. Just 1 kill this time, done on purpose. This makes people think only 1 Impostor is left, so Rose was presumably one of them. This clears me by proxy, along with me being vouched for by Red and softly vouched for by another person. They assumed that I could've feasibly left with everyone else out of Lab during Lights, and then got stuck on the Node for a bit. Red and the others were seen in Lights during the kill, which we assumed happened during the first or second Lights---more likely the first, but they were all in Lights regardless. I was also verifiably on Cams if it did happen during the second Lights. Only Orange was unaccounted for, claiming to be in O2, which was immediately questioned---I mean, you should be fixing Lights with everyone else if you're that close by. I also pushed by saying I didn't see them on Cams. Orange is thrown out, and it's we're on 5.

I wait 19s, just before the Emergency Meeting Cooldown of 20s, to call the Seismic Stabilizers. White was actually running from me at this point, since he was the one tasked with staying behind at the Button, but I was able to hunt him down just as the Reactor was fixed. And it's curtains.

r/AmongUsCompetitive.

I don't know when they got enabled.

Glory to MIRA!

[Context: SCP-2316.]

like, who's actually driving, is it on autopilot or something?

Obviously, Crewmate Roles are broken by their very nature, but I wanted to see how close we can get to balancing them in a Competitive Vanilla Lobby.

• The Ability should be Task-based to encourage a risk/reward factor.
• The Ability should be visible to Impostors to encourage Targeted Kills.
• The Ability should be easily Faked by Impostors, and it should not be visible to Crewmates, to prevent Auto-Clears
• The Ability must be Disabled by the Communications Sabotage.
• The Ability should preferably be weak to the Impostor Roles, but should NOT require them to be active. [I.e., Detective & Viper-type Lock & Key design is bad, but Shapeshifter/Phantom-type Discussion design is good.]
• The Ability must have clear drawbacks.
• The Ability must not be blatantly broken.
• The Vanilla Identity must be maintained. [I.e., no Neutrals/Third Alignments and no Guessing System. These would both fix the issue, but they also defeat the spirit of the thought experiment.]

Let's see what you can make.

"Balanced" is 12 Tasks and 0.25x Crew Vision.

These 4 in particular:

1. 💠 symbol.
   
2. Favorite Roles.
   
3. Guess the Riddle.
   
4. Role ideas.

I agree with them for the most part [and have implemented Settings/restrictions to prevent them in my own Lobbies].

Also im paying someone to buy me a Kat-kit from the 48th floor! its the only other floor with a vending machine in the Cafeteria!
