Discussion Is logical deduction banned in this game now?
Hey everyone, long-time player here, but this is actually my first time posting in this sub.
We all know annoying stuff happens in Among Us all the time, but for some reason, what happened tonight genuinely frustrated me so much that I just needed to share it and get your perspective.
Here is what happened. I was a Crewmate and the only Engineer in the lobby. Early in the game, I hopped into a vent. I noticed Black and Purple hanging out in the Security room together for a while, but neither of them was actually using the cams, just pacing around doing nothing. Naturally, it raised some red flags for me.
Later, a group gathered in Electrical. I vented out into Electrical just in time to see Black kill someone right in front of everyone. I immediately reported it, mentioned it might be a Shapeshifter, but urged everyone to vote Black. Black got voted out and turned out to be an Impostor.
Right after, I called an emergency meeting to share my reasoning. I told the group that Black was an Impostor and I called it, so they could trust me on this. Purple was standing in Security with Black the entire time without checking cams, so I strongly suspected Purple was the other Impostor.
The vote was super close, but Purple was voted out by a single vote over skip. Purple was indeed the other Impostor!
That is when things got absurd. Immediately after, the host interrupted the game flow, calling me a liar and accusing me of teaming and cheating. They claimed I did not have enough proof to accuse Purple and that I must have had outside info.
A few sheep in the lobby jumped on the bandwagon. Only one person defended me. I tried reminding them that I was a confirmed Engineer who literally just caught both Impostors, but they voted me out anyway.
Even worse, after I got ejected and proved to be a Crewmate, another player called a meeting to call out the host for throwing and blindly ejecting me.
When the match ended, I hit Play Again and quickly pasted a message in the lobby chat calmly explaining my side. The host immediately kicked me from the lobby without a word.
I know teaming is a real issue in this game, but I feel like I gave a very logical deduction based on vent info and suspicious behavior.
So I want to ask you guys:
Would you have believed me that I wasn’t cheating, if you were in that game?
Thank you for reading and sorry if I overreacted
