IDK Pink seems a bit sus [Among Us]

I haven't played it and I have no intentions on playing it... I'm not one to jump on the bandwagon.
you can hate me for saying this, but I think it's basically fortnite but it isn't widely hated

That's a really weird comparison. Fortnight is a battle royal with crafting elements, Among Us is a strategy party game with two distinct teams. They are literally totally distinct genres of game with the only similarities being characters dying and popularity.
 
Vendily presents, the long awaited Admin Table post!
The hard part was getting 4 devices to play with at the same time.

Now the critical part of the admin table, is who shows up where. Any of the strong green areas is a defined room, which will show the number of people in it, dead, alive, or in a vent. The paler areas are halls, or in the case of Polus, outdoors, and will not show anyone.

As you can see here, the Cyan Vondily is in the hallway to admin, and therefore does not appear.

As Vondily enters and exits, they appear and disappear from the Admin area.

There are 3 main uses of the Admin table, seeing a kill in action, seeing impostors in vents, and guessing where a dead body might be sitting.

In the instant of a kill, a person will appear to leave the room for an instant before reappearing as a body

Watch carefully here, see how during the Orange Vandily's teleport, the body blinks out for a moment. (GIMP says ~1 tenth of a second)

Here's a freeze frame, where there are clearly 3 people, but since Vondily just met their untimely death, the game swaps them out with a corpse.
Having it like this, it's easier to see the timings, and if you're quick, you might be able to catch them in the act, or perhaps call someone out on a self report, much like you could with Polus's Vitals.

As mentioned before, Impostors in vents still count as being in the room, and will show up as well.

See how Vandily enters and exits the vent, while the same number of people remain in the room. (The extra person is Vondily's corpse)
There is a second implication, the instant traveling between vents. If you watch the top of the above gif, as Vandily vents from Admin to Cafe, it instantaneously shows a person leaving one room, and entering an unconnected room. Normally you'd expect them to disappear for a couple of seconds while they are in the hallway.While this particular vent triangle doesn't mean much, it's much more obvious in vent triangles where it's not possible to travel without leaving a footprint. Specifically in the case of Skeld, going from Electrical/Security/Medbay without going through either Engine, or perhaps Cafe/Storage. If you see a warp like that, almost always a vent. Sometimes you really do get bad luck with a person walking out, and another person walking a vent connected room at the exact same time, but that's rare honestly. I only got screwed like that once.

Mira HQ is the best map for this particular usage, since it's very easy to see those illegal moves, and the long hallways make it simple to estimate how quickly a person can be expected to travel
If you see someone enter admin without seeing them, that's a vent and you gotta get the hell out of there! You can still see the vent open and shut in the fog of war, so it's possible to run out and around the corner where the impostor can't see you and then surprise them to see who popped out.


Guessing where a dead body might be uses the same principles of seeing who's where. If you see an icon sitting somewhere for a long time, probably dead and you should check up on them. Same goes for seeing someone vent out of a room with another person in it. Most likely that person is dead, or potentially another impostor. Though usually Impostors vent away together, so probably a body.
If you see someone in cams and the light isn't on, almost certainly dead in that case too.

Impostors can also use the admin table. It makes for a useful tool in seeing who's where, and if there's any stragglers or a large group currently. You ideally shouldn't kill when there's a large group unless you know it'll be a while before they find the body and you can join the group/separate it with a sabotage. The reason being, process of elimination will probably pick you out as a person missing and then you get voted off.
Meanwhile, you can track down those lonely crew members. It's a vital tool near the end of the game, where you stop crossing paths so frequently and for large maps like Polus where you can easily go an entire round without seeing a single person.
 
So apparently this is out for Switch now. This is both good and bad.

It's good because my laptop likes to turn off on its own when I play this for too long so it'll be a good alt version for me when groups are going on.

But it's bad because I can't type fast for shit on Switch. So either you guys will have to let me use the channel on the Discord to type stuff or I'll have to use VC. Though idk how that will work on Switch. lol.

tbh I'll probably use it more for groups with VC.
 
I want to play the new map so badly. I need an actual group of friends (freeplay sucks because I've been in groups where people just...leave lol)

I watched Jacksepticeye play the new map yesterday on Twitch and it looked awesome! I also noticed a lot of new features were added, such as spawning in different areas, ladder climbing, new faces and of course, HANDS.
