matpat i never got my game theory wallet

[alexandergilles]

Me: *follows fellow crew member because safety in numbers*

Crew member: “HE’S FOLLOWING ME! HE’S THE IMPOSTER!”

[LarvaRewind]

I'm that one person who's okay at being a crewmate, but the worst impostor ever. The times I win, I'm mostly carried by the other impostor :/

[SpawnWave]

I was right and they still ejected me into space

[cmdr_r]

Emergency Meeting: Matpat acting kinda sus.

[wildcats-jiin]

Game theory: *gives a strategic way to play the game

*Game starts*
*Emergency meeting on frame one*
"It's cyan"
"Evidence?"
"Cyan sus"
*Everyone has voted*
*Cyan was not the imposter*

[Jack-gqth]

Plot twist: He is tricking everyone to play this way and is playing the least suspected tactics himself

[marcello]

Impostor red: "I was with yellow"
Impostor yellow: "I was with red"

Matt's expectation:
"Well it can't be them because they were together"

Reality:
"Alright, it's red and yellow"

[CodeyMationz]

Me: **is with two other people and thinking I’m safe**

The two impostors: I’m about to do what’s called a pro gamer move

[flankerflash]

It’s all fun and games until a kid goes “my friend told me you killed him” and “I am new, how to use vents like red did”

[SonimodGT]

Game: starts
Literally half of the lobby: Adios

[kingtonga]

Me: *walks*

Everyone: He kinda sus for walking around the whole map

I was about to say... What if Fall Guys are the ancestors of Among Us? In previous theories, MatPat said that the people in Among Us were probably specially bred for those missions. Well, if that’s true, wouldn’t it make sense to put the breeding pool through a series of obstacles and challenges to make them stronger, faster, and more athletic? Put them through difficult races to see who the best of the best are so you know who is ready to help create the perfect species for the job, and who needs more training? I mean, they even look similar, but there are obvious changes. For example, the Among Us people have floating hands, while Fall Guys have arms. This could be a part of evolution. I don’t think Fall Guys are very closely related to the jelly beans in Among Us, but they are likely ancestors.But hey, that’s just a theory! A Game Theory! (I always wanted to say that)

This is great but let’s be honest, unless you’re playing with friends, people just scream at each other, don’t remember anything, and leave the game. I love it

[janrekusz]

“This is my first game, how do you vent like pink did?”

My recommendations to identify a Imposter:
- Doesn't talk much
- Walks around more than others
- Tries to split off if in a group
- Doesn't vote for anyone when there's 2 Imposters and 6 Players left
- Says he is the Imposter (if he isn't, he's a troll and you should kick him, if he is, he wants to take your attention away from a suspect, the other Imposter)
- Finds 3 or more bodies in a row
- Runs after you constantly far too close
- Is in a Room where Vents lead to from the Crimescene
- Spends his (usually) one Emergeny Meeting for giggles
