To be honest, I wouldn't mind another All-GOG 1vs4 or 1vs5 game, just like we had the very first time we played. But for this to work we need to agree on a specific hour and have at least 5 GOGers there.

Maybe this weekend we can agree on a specific time?

I was also under the same impression but yesterday I noticed two dead bodies within ~25 seconds of game start, no way the impostors had the time to cooldown after a first kill
I'll do my best to be there but I can't guarantee anything. It's all depending on the missus

I have guests on Saturday evening but I don't think they'll stay after 9PM UTC. I'm game afterwards. Friday evening is pretty much free after the kids go to bed.

You might be right but on the other hand an impostor who is alive has to stand still a few seconds to perform a sabotage. If the dead partner does it they might have time to run away from a corpse or gain credit that they could not be doing it since they were in movement

You really shouldn't. Practice sabotaging without stopping.

Also, new rule: barring an emergency, leaving between games without giving a final game notice is not allowed.

So when we're in between games.
DON'T: Sorry, I got to go. Bye.
DO: Sorry, I got to go. Last game for me.

I guess I need to study the sabotage maps more thoroughly then. I always lose at least 5 or 6 seconds.

BTW which map are you guys usually playing?


I'm okay with this, sure

That depends.

If we're playing without dedo, it's The Skeld. If we're playing with dedo, it's also The Skeld.

Once you get the hang of it you don't have to stand still. I'm doing my sabotages pretty much on the go. I'm not even hitting corners on the map that often anymore. I have a custom setup on my mouse buttons for this game so I can do a lot of things with it while I'm moving with the other hand. It takes a bit of practice but it's not that hard even with using only the keyboard.

Another tip for impostering - if you're alone in the endgame and you're going to rely on a major sabotage (the ones that require the crew to split) to make a play always make sure to have your kill ready for it. Start the sabotage when you have 3-4 seconds on your kill cooldown so you have it ready in time. Otherwise the crew may fix it too quickly or you may have to fix it yourself to not look sus if someone catches you waiting and you can't act.

I like Polus. ZFR likes The Skeld so we mostly play on one of those. I have no idea what Mira HQ is like.

lol, ok. I'm going to concentrate on it a bit more then.

Yesterday I decided to go on a Mira HQ binge. It's cool as well but I think it favors impostors a bit too much... For a while almost every match ended with an impostor win.

I ended up as the room's host and tweaked the settings to nerf them which balanced the game but those settings would be heavily crew-favorable in The Skeld.

One of these days I'll want to learn to actually play Polus

You suck.

Thanks for the tips. I am learning to impostor and have a somewhat decent win rate there but that's probably more related to getting way too many morons among the randos :)

Mira HQ has a problem. It's basically one long corridor, only one route from any points A and B. You'd think that would be good for the crew but they have to walk too much to fix sabotages and waste a lot of time to open doors in decontamination. So they keep running without any time to figure out where is everyone. And there's no cams, just some mostly useless sensors

Next weekend, let's try Polus.

By the way, wonder how a game 1vs9 would be like if imp is given a really low kill cooldown. Might be fun to try.

Is that even possible in settings?

I would like to offer counter-argument: No, you are not my mom.

I am going to complain about something, then you will hopefully tell me it is possible and I will be happy.
How come, that you can't move on mouse and use keyboard for kills and such?
Why, if one uses M+K, I can't use mouse to move?


Honestly, I wouldn't mind mixing it up sometimes. While I like The Skald a lot, I don't feel like I need to play it to perfection while ignoring the others.

Yeah, I only checked it in freeplay and felt like it is fairly small and straightforward so I figured it would be harder for imps. Interesting to hear it isn't the case. Does the fact that part of it is separated from the rest play a role?

It's almost impossible to win with our settings. For that to work there have to be more long tasks so people aren't always running around and witnessing the kills and the crew vision has to be lowered to something like 0.5 or 0.75 at most.

Obviously there is the odd chance of making it somehow but that will be a very rare occasion for sure. I think you did it once and I also managed to win a game by myself after my buddy DCed at the very start of a full game. I don't know how it went for you but for me it was 10% luck, 20% skill, 15% concentrated power of will, 5% pleasure, 50% pain and 100% Cristi not seeing a kill happening directly in front of her eyes.
