welcome to watch mojo and today we're
counting down our picks for the top 10
things you should
never do in among us
for this list we'll be going over some
major don'ts when playing among
us if you have any other bad ideas to
avoid in the game
don't avoid our comments and tell us
about them
number 10 split off early
[Music]
the first round in a game of among us is
often critical to determining the course
of the match
imposters can make a lot of early
headway if they can manage to isolate
and kill the crewmates quickly enough
for this reason going off by yourself or
in a group of one to three immediately
is a good way to either get yourself
killed first or look sus to the rest of
the group
while the former is definitely a
crewmate only problem the latter is
something you want to avoid regardless
of whether you're crew or imposter
[Music]
number nine fake a visual task
when your crew faking any tasks is
generally pretty dumb but it's part and
parcel for being an imposter
but there are some tasks that are
impossible to fake if a certain setting
is turned on
these visual tasks display animations
when someone is performing them
some examples include the med bass scan
or shooting the asteroids
if an imposter tries to pretend they're
doing one with the animation turned on
any nearby crew can easily spot that
they're not who they claim to be
and get them voted out
number eight take out your accusers
during discussions things can get pretty
heated when you're an imposter it can be
tempting to want to kill the crewmates
who speak against you in meetings
although this can sometimes be helpful
in general it can look very sus as
killing the people accusing you is a
common enough tactic that everyone tends
to do it
so unless you want to try to pull off a
double bluff like why would i kill my
accuser that's such a small brain play
you're gonna want to avoid taking out
your biggest critics
instead if possible try to gain their
trust by traveling with them
and not killing them while your partner
if you have one goes on a killing spree
[Music]
number seven lose track of your alibi
[Music]
alibis are an important part of playing
among us having an answer for where you
were and what you were doing is crucial
to all players to avoid sus during
discussions
if you can't remember where you were on
the map or the tasks you were performing
then you're definitely going to look
more guilty to other players
the best ways to avoid this are to learn
each map and where every task is as best
as you can
as well as to travel in groups so if you
do forget where you were
someone else can account for your
location also being as honest as you can
be is better than an outright lie
[Music]
number six ignore a dead body
corpses can be scary but ignoring a dead
body is generally a bad idea if there's
anyone else around
regardless of whether you're crew or not
if you can make a clean getaway as
imposter then by all means leave the
body there but if not
it's better to take the suspicion that
you're reporting a kill you made
than to be seen standing next to a body
you didn't report
and if you're a crewmate not reporting a
kill is even more inexcusable since at
least the imposters actually have cause
to not report a body
sure you may get sussed too but any
delay in telling others can only help
the imposters
number five ignore tasks
tasks are one of the crewmates two ways
to achieve victory by completing all
their tasks the crewmates win
while some players like to prioritize
detective work it isn't okay to forego
your duties entirely
[Music]
tasks help keep the pressure on the
impostors to kill which can lead them to
slipping up and getting caught
by ignoring tasks a player allows
imposters to take more time to pick and
choose their kills to avoid discovery
while putting more pressure on
themselves to complete tasks towards the
end of the game
basically don't procrastinate especially
if you're already dead
all right let's go find out who it is
because i'm not doing my tasks
they're being jerks number four do
nothing
[Music]
although doing nothing may sound like
the same as not doing tasks it's a
little bit more than that
as an imposter you can't win unless you
kill at least one person
as a crew even if you don't do tasks you
can still keep an eye on other players
such as by looking at security cameras
or logs
you can also keep other players company
so that their body doesn't go unreported
by doing absolutely nothing at all
either by standing around or wandering
aimlessly you're contributing nothing to
the crewmates efforts
plus it's a good way to look sus bottom
line if you're not going to participate
in the game
why play at all
number three go solo
[Music]
as we mentioned earlier going off on
your own early is a bad idea
but it extends to throughout the whole
game forming up in pairs or even trios
is a good idea for imposters and
crewmates
since it gives you an alibi
the buddy system is also useful for
rooting out the imposter because it
means that if one of you does betray the
other the rest of the crew know who to
blame
going alone means that everyone is going
to look to you first if someone dies
and it paints a big target on your back
for any imposter who happens to see you
by yourself
like the wise man from another game says
it's dangerous to go alone
number two vote on four or seven
voting someone out isn't always smart
although kicking out someone suss is
generally pretty safe when there are
between 8 and 10 players left
after that it becomes more complicated
if there are seven people left it's
generally a bad idea to vote if there
are
two imposters left
[Music]
if you vote wrong then the impostors
just need to kill two people to win the
game
likewise voting when there are four
players can also be dicey
[Music]
if you vote incorrectly then the
imposter merely has to kill one of the
two remaining to snatch victory away
from you
in both cases skipping means a body is
more likely to be reported and thus
you'll have more info to make an
informed decision

number one be inconsistent
[Music]
no one is an imposter or crewmate one
hundred percent of the time
sooner or later you're going to play as
the other if for example you're
aggressive and inquisitive as a crewmate
but quiet and disinterested as an
imposter people are going to notice if
you play among us with the same group
any difference in how you usually play
is going to look sus to people you play
regularly with and get you discovered as
an imposter or
wrongfully kicked out as a crewmate
therefore it's important to remain
consistent in your play style
that way you get to play longer and have
more fun
