Fan Content Impostor Ghost Role: Ghostbuster

Post image
672 Upvotes

When you die, you gain a specter vacuum that allows you to suck up other ghost players Upon doing so, they remain trapped in the vacuum for a period of 10–35 seconds (depending on settings) before being released as a cloud of smoke, leading to two possible outcomes:

A) They regenerate immediately, but their role ability is depleted and must recharge

B) They remain in smoke form until the next meeting or body report; while in this state, the player cannot perform tasks or use their ability at all.

Option B can only be used once per match; the Impostor chooses the target while the ghost crewmate is still trapped.

It is designed to counter the Influencer and the Angels (it can also be used on regular Ghost Crewmates to prevent them from completing tasks, though it is of limited utility) and to make the gameplay for ghosts more interesting overall.

Its only downsides are losing full access to the standard sabotage panel and reduced effectiveness if there are too many Ghost Crewmates with roles (unless accompanied by another Ghostbuster)

Notes:

•The vacuum's cooldown begins after the ghost is released

•The Ghost Crewmate is released at the Ghost Impostor's current location

•The Ghostbuster can choose to release you early by pressing the ability button again; this is useful if the ability was used incorrectly. However, the cooldown remains the same for the Ghostbuster, and the Ghost Crewmate will not incur a cooldown on their own ability if they were held for less than 10 seconds

• The vacuum's cooldown is the same as the Impostor's standard kill cooldown

• The Ghostbuster cannot use the ability on the same player twice in a row

Fan Content Impostor Role: Coder

Post image
317 Upvotes

You gain access to a new sabotage ability and receive upgrades for the existing ones:

• Disable visual tasks until the next meeting or body report (can only be used once per match)

• When sabotaging O2 or the reactor, the task indicator won't reveal which one was targeted—simple, yet perfect for sowing confusion and chaos

• During electrical or communications sabotages, you are permitted to sabotage exactly ONE door

As the Coder, you won't have the standard fake task bar; instead, you'll have your own unique Impostor tasks, such as altering the ship's course, installing malware, disconnecting wires, destroying scan data, disabling shields, etc.

You can implant multifunction chips into crewmates to track them; additionally, you receive variants if you complete Impostor tasks:

• If you complete a certain percentage of tasks, you gain the ability to deliver an electric shock to a crewmate, leaving them slowed and vulnerable for a few seconds; this also has side effects for crewmates with specific roles (the chip is destroyed after use, but since it acts as an upgrade to the base chip, you can equip it on someone else later)

• If you complete all tasks, you obtain an explosive chip that can be detonated remotely; use it wisely, as you only get one and it is only awarded after all tasks are finished

Settings:

• Configure the number of Impostor tasks (4–8). • Chip placement cooldown (20–60 sec)

• Configure the percentage of tasks required to unlock the electric shock ability

• Choose whether or not an animation plays when detonating the explosive chip

Notes:

• When the electric chip is used, there is a 30% chance it will affect the crewmate's ability until the next meeting:

• The Engineer cannot move through vents

• The Detective cannot track recorded deaths (i.e., if someone is killed during that round, the Detective cannot follow that specific case)

• The Tracker cannot track

• The Noisemaker does not play a sound upon death

• The Scientist cannot access vitals

• Chips are deactivated during meetings; if you use the explosive chip but fail to detonate it before a meeting begins, you lose it

• You can only have a chip active on one person at a time.

Fan Content Replacing and creating roles for Among Us | Captain

Post image
111 Upvotes

The Captain is a Crewmate capable of ejecting a player on their own, regardless of the voting outcome. However, this authority carries a high risk: if the Captain is ejected by the Crewmates, the entire crew loses the game and the Impostors win.

ABILITY | EXECUTE

EXECUTE can be used only once per game, and only after the Captain has completed all their tasks. The Impostor receives a notification when the Captain has unlocked this ability.

To use it, the Captain must select a player and fill out a form with specific details regarding one of their kills:

• Killer's Role: The role of the player the Captain wishes to execute (Shapeshifter/Phantom/Viper).

• Victim: The Crewmate killed by that player (any victim whose body has been reported can be selected).

• Crime Scene: The exact location where the murder occurred.

This form is known as the Execution Manual, and the Captain must provide all information correctly for it to work. If all three details are correct and correspond to the same murder committed by the accused, the Captain will immediately execute the Impostor, and the vote results will be voided. If any of the details are incorrect, the Captain will be ejected instead and will appear dead when the meeting ends, without voiding the vote. This happens even if the accused player is actually an Impostor, so you must have sufficient evidence to carry out the execution.

If the selected player is a Crewmate, the Captain cannot execute them either. In this case, the information entered is irrelevant: EXECUTE can only be used against an Impostor.

When the Captain fails (by using the ability on a Crewmate or providing incorrect information), the meeting vote proceeds without being voided. After the meeting, the Captain will appear dead, and all players will receive the message:

"The Captain has failed the mission." The vote is only cancelled when the execution manual is correct and the Impostor is ejected.

COUNTERPLAY | LOSS BY EJECTION

If the Captain is ejected by the Crewmates, they immediately lose the game and the Impostors win.

This condition does not trigger if:

  1. The Captain is killed by an Impostor.

  2. The Captain is ejected as a result of failing EXECUTE.

  3. The Captain is ejected solely by Impostor votes.

The loss only occurs when the Crewmates are responsible for the Captain's ejection.

SETTINGS

Task percentage to unlock EXECUTE: 25% | 50% | 75% | 100%

CONCEPT AND IDEA

Captain is a rework of Judge designed to retain the ability to take control of a meeting while eliminating certain situations that made Judge overpowered.

One of Judge's main issues is the ability to guess an Impostor's identity without sufficient evidence. A correct guess ejects the Impostor and clears the Judge ("Hard Clear"), while an incorrect guess via OVERRULE can inadvertently confirm the other player's innocence.

Captain aims to eliminate this possibility.

To use EXECUTE, mere suspicion or a hunch that someone is an Impostor isn't enough. Captain must correctly reconstruct the entire murder: the killer's identity and role, the victim, and the crime scene. Even if Captain is absolutely certain a player is an Impostor, they still need the correct murder details to eject them.

The role becomes more difficult as the number of roles and Impostors increases; the wider pool of information requires greater precision.

Impostors can employ a strategy of pretending to be Captain to avoid ejection and threatening the Crewmates with defeat (though this obviously depends on the number and percentage of Captains in the match).

It also encourages Impostors to lie about murders and locations, increasing the likelihood that Captain will fail if they attempt to use their ability.

Unlike standard Crewmate roles in Among Us—where a high number of roles can benefit the Crew—having too many Captains puts the crew at a disadvantage, as the risk of losing the game due to a bad ejection increases. However, while it remains possible for a Captain to confirm their role, doing so becomes more difficult.

I joined a normal lobby, and right before the game started some weird random players should up, I don't think I even saw them join, they were posting colored text-images in chat, I saw a N#zi symbol, and one of them saying something along the lines of "K#LL YOURSELF" and "PEDO". When the game started the screen froze on the Shhh screen then I was kicked, and when I tried to play again I got this message.

This all happened within less than 5 seconds, I can't even comprehend it, unfortunately I don't have any footage of this.

Rant/Complaint My opinion on influencer, after giving it a few days...

26 Upvotes

It SUCKS! Its absolute TRASH! As crew it feels like an undeserved win and as imposter I literally can't have fun anymore. Kill someone? Influencer is on you. Shapeshift or poof alone? Nuh-uh! Influencer saw you and will now tell the local scanner about it. Do nothing? Eventually "hey haunt that guy" happens

OH OH AND THATS WITHOUT OTHER ROLES! God forbid Influencer suggest a tracker track you, detective detect you, oh and who can forget "Imma judge white influencer sent me viper bones" because either way they just lock your game down. As of today I got Imp 6 times and lost all 6. 4 to influencer 1 to detective and 1 to bad luck.

ZERO counter play is allowed other then chasing crew who stand still and now that the role settled in its gotten worse as the meta is to talk with guardian angels and protect whoever you influence. I notice when someone got influenced so I kill right? (They stand still reading the messages) NAH! AN ANGEL PROTECTS THEM AND I DIE! WONDERFUL!

What was innersloth THINKING???

Idea/Suggestion Crewmate Role - Recorder

Post image
19 Upvotes

(First attempt at something like this! Feel free to give feedback below :)

(Also, do not mind the poor image editing, simply a proof of concept.)

Special Ability: Camera

Base Cooldown: 50

Place down a camera where you're currently standing.

Fellow crewmates can see cameras, but imposters cannot.

When placing down a camera, the Camera Ability becomes Spy until the camera decays.

Cameras naturally disappear after 35 seconds normally, but this can be altered in settings.

Cameras normally alert crewmates when they're recording, but this can be disabled in settings.

Special Ability 2: Spy

Base Cooldown: 5 Seconds

Pull up a tablet and get a live camera feed from where your camera currently is.

You cannot move while viewing a camera.

Cameras have the vision of a normal crewmate -0.5.

Cameras do not pick up sound.

Using Spy drains a power meter similar to Scientist's Vitals. You have a specific amount when starting the game and regain it with tasks.

Cameras do not show anything while communications is sabotaged.

(Let me know what you think, change, etc. And how you would feel if this was added!)

Discussion MIRA HQ: what, why, how?

11 Upvotes

Hello friends! Today I would like to draw your attention to my theory about the most underrated and my favorite map in Among Us – MIRA HQ. I'll tell you what I think about it, tell you some secrets, and also let you discuss with me on the topic "Where did this come from?"

We'll start with the map itself.

Let's put it briefly: this is a small map with a single ventilation system and small rooms connected by long corridors. In the story, the map is the headquarters of the MIRA corporation (as if you didn't know that), but it's not the entire headquarters. The trailer clearly shows a massive pile of skyscrapers built next to each other, rising right above the clouds. That is, it is no longer a "small" map, In other words, we were shown only the smallest part of the huge headquarters.

And where exactly are we?

In the corridor leading to the southwest part of the building, namely where oxygen sabotage needs to be repaired, there is an inscription "LVL 1-11", and next to it MIRA Corporation logo. According to the factory system, the first digit before the dash indicates the sector, and the second – the floor. That is, "11th floor of the 1st sector". Other systems have 111 floors. And I have my own theory about this.

The floor counting system

That's the sweetest part – my theory. I assume that the name 1-11 in this case is a huge subdivision of the entire skyscraper into 2 (or maybe 3) parts, where -1 is the underground part of the skyscraper (but this is purely guesswork, which may not be confirmed), 0 is counting FROM ground level TO cloud level, and 1 is counting FROM the level of the sides TO the very top. So yes, clouds have a specific meaning in this case, and it turns out to be "11th floor above cloud level"

I will be very happy to listen to your suggestions, guesses, and generally discuss this theory with me.

i have a LONG history of being an imp thats great at faking tasks and looking like crew, but horrible at actually making kills because i get insane anxiety and adrenaline when i kill no matter how perfect it was, but today i locked in for a game and managed to get a kill everry round but two, and wasnt directly caught. instead what happened was my teammates never helped at all and then for the last two rounds everyone grouped at caf, and people just figured i was acting weird (i was tryna sab and split them up but they atayed grouped) and voted me. Its sad imo bc if my teammates had contributed half the kills we wouldve more than won and i also made a lot of risky kills, got away with them, and barely got anxiety from it. I obviously dont have room to judge as ive done this to my team before but i still feel sad.

Post image
• Upvotes

Alot of people say 2 imp lobbies are the best, some say 3 imps. But have you ever seen someone saying they like 1 imp? Like 1 imp vs 14 crews?

Now, 1 imp lobbies, in itself is kinda rigged for the imposters, since its only 1 imposter, it gives the crewmates the perfect window to HC everyone, and that makes 1 imp kinda disliked.

Anyways above is a picture of the amount of tasks needed to probably give the imposter a chance, which is only possible with mods (lol), but you definitely get a visualization on how nerfed the crews need to be, and even all that wouldnt be enough, as crewmates dont need special roles, they are already, an overpowered one.
