Among Us

[Raid]

I can fit an hour or two into pretty much any evening at the moment, with the exception of D&D night (which is usually wednesday or thursday).

Played last night in a big group blending different friend groups and have some tips:

If you're going to use voice chat instead of in-game text for nominations, tell everyone to mute during task time, else they might shout out when killed, or if people have speakers then you can overhear their game, giving away what role they have.

Use in-game colours when talking, not names. I don't know who "Dave" is, what his online handle is, or that he's set it to something else in this particular game.

Imposters can sabotage remotely – they don't have to be stood next to a Bad Thing. I didn't know this for several games.

I'm sure there's others, would be nice to have some other folk weigh in!

I should be fairly about this weekend and next week, i think. Not sure how organising is happening - someone mentioned discord, but i wasn't aware we had TGA one active, do we?

Am i missing something? I click the link but it doesn't do anything. Feel free to invite me / add me on El Gaucho#6584

[Raid]

I don't know if you can add people like that; try this: https://discord.gg/GcaV8z

[Drarok]

Yeah, Raid's link worked. Ta!

[elgaucho]

I've played a few rounds of this - it's a great little game, but so uuuuutterly random in terms of people's behaviours!

You can build some great camaraderie in some of the games with the right people - it's really quite fun, and in others people will vote you for just.... being.

So guess we're waiting for Mantis and Snowy for their availability, and for someone to set up a game!

I don't really want to play with strangers, so haven't fired it up as yet. I've watched a few let's plays though to get the gist.

[Mantis]

I'm theoretically free any time this week. Apart from Sunday.

[Sly Boots]

Assuming tomorrow is too short notice, how about Wednesday, chaps? Evening best for everyone?

[Raid]

That's fine for me.

[elgaucho]

Weds eve should work for me.

I think Drarok's comments are pretty relevant as guiding suggestions to keep it fun.

Also, after you die, you can still complete your tasks and help your team win. tbh I've yet to see a game where all tasks were done.

Good point on completing tasks as ghosts. Also worth noting the in-game chat is sensible in that only the dead can read what the dead are saying. One of my friends got all uppity when I said who killed me in that chat so I had to go and check that it wasn't ass-backwards.

Wednesday works for me too, what time?
