Anyone playing Among Us?

[mik]

Thought it might be worth trying to do a group game?

Maybe 9pm tonight. Euro server. I could start a private game and post code here?

[mr_jon]

Isn't it a kid's game?

[mik]

Dunno

[ZedLeg]

I've been playing it with my mates so I'd be up for that. It's really good fun.

[mik]

Yeah - it’s far from serious gaming (I don’t have time for that) but it is a giggle and The “guess who is bullshitting” element makes it more interesting.

If you haven’t played before you can still join.

[duncs500]

Is that on android?

[mik]

You can all play simultaneously even if you have some on Apple, some on android, some on PC

[duncs500]

I've downloaded it, I'll give it a go. Do you have to spend money?

[ZedLeg]

Nah, there are cosmetic changes for sale but you can play the game for free.

[mik]

Nope. (I think the PC version is £4 but phone ap is free).

Spend 5 mins looking on YouTube before you play to shorten your learning curve.

[mik]

OK- at 9pm I will open a game, and post the joining code here.

You need to ensure you are on the Europe server (see bottom
Right) before you enter the code.



I will open it as a “Private“ group, but if there is only a few of us I will need to make it “Public” once we have all joined to bring in some strangers to make up the numbers..... we can use the chat window to agree...

NOOBS WELCOME - IT IS JUST FOR FUN

[duncs500]

I probably won't make it mik.

[mik]

No probs.

[mik]

Right - the code is VSKMDF.

Now there are only 10 spaces guys so don’t all try to join at once

[duncs500]

Anyone play? I played a few games earlier in the evening and it is strangely addictive.

[mik]

Nah. I discovered that you can only hold a private lobby open for 5mins before it is automatically closes due to inactivity.

So I had a few games with some randoms instead.

[duncs500]

The easiest way to spot the imposter seems to be when they start chasing you.

[Gavin]

My boy plays it a lot. not at 9pm though.

[mik]

The easiest way to spot the imposter seems to be when they start chasing you.

Not always. Lots of folks try to “buddy” with another so they have an “I was with X the whole time” cover story when a body is found. Sometimes genuine. Sometimes after they have killed.

[RobYob]

I feel like I should enjoy Among Us but I find it more frustrating than anything.

Dozens of games I've only been the imposter once. I am really good at being killed and/or not seeing whodunnit...

Maybe try a game Friday evening with whoever is on the drunk discord?
