Basically, I asked what OP's Kill Cooldown was, since Detective was changed to have a Cooldown after Meetings. Since there wasn't a Setting to change it, I assumed it was linked to Kill Cooldown. And then I got bombed with downvotes... for asking a question? Apparently, they think I'm a bot, and I don't know why.

Giving Crewmates Roles is still inherently a bad idea. I'm never going to use any Crewmate Role, and the Judge is no exception.

The one potentially good side effect of this thing's existence is that it means that Innersloth seems to be open to the idea of adding more "Modded" features, such as Meeting Abilities, so we MIGHT get Guessing, or more Meeting-based Impostor Roles, at some point in time. Hopefully a Private Impostor Chat.

There is another ~1000 on Epic, and ~300 hours on Mobile + other devices.

They say my Killing’s a problem
They tell me to ‘curb my Parasite’
They say I can't keep myself from swinging
The knife at every life in sight

They worship MIRA, the HQ
Oh, they tell me murder is a sin
But my desire is bottomless...~
I want to cut you up and lie 'til I get sick! (Whoo!)

The slaughter, lies, I'd love to see you cut in half
Unsatisfied, till every one of you has died!
So, grab a bone, have a stab, 你可吞下我謊言 ("You can swallow down my lies")
I'm still preying on the Crewmates' trust

To get your trust would be a pattern
Oh, you dress your flesh up with the Cubes
Perfectly silenced by a dagger,
Leaving the finest Dead Bodies behind

Why would I help Dissolve the Body?
Oh, why let the corpses go to waste?
It's wrath that guides my spiked tongue with such wickedness
The perfect strike to keep you quiet in Reports! (Whoo!)

(Oh, oh, oh!) The Killing's mine, oh, Vent and Sabotage divine!
Marinated, each Alibi prepared to dine
And in the dark 我存在 (“I exist”) tasting 偽裝的真心 (“Cloaked sincerity”)
I'll devour all your minds in time

Fall apart, my crafted work of art
My work, my knife, and now to end your life
So, grab a bone, have a stab, 你可吞下我謊言 ("You can swallow down my lies")
I'm still preying on the Crewmates' trust

To burn right through you, I want to now Eject you
I want to tear within you, 'fore the rot takes out your tissue
But, dear, you shan't be fearful that I will tear you in two
Since all my love's precision carves a brain to simply die for

To burn right through you, I want to now Eject you
I want to break your worldview, shatter what I've tricked you into
I need to send you to the afterlife, now
You cannot defy; oh, fuck the Comms and Lights
I'll rip into your soul and take a bite

The slaughter, lies, I'd love to see you cut in half
Unsatisfied, till every one of you has died!
So, grab a bone, have a stab, 你可吞下我謊言 ("You can swallow down my lies")
I'm still preying on the Crewmates' trust

And now the planet's mine, my darling, get under the knife [Alt: And now the ship is mine, my darling, get under the knife]
Your broken pride, a stab so perfect in its prime
All that I see, 63, 令我沉醉的謊言 (“Lies that intoxicate me”)
Cooldown waiting so impatiently

Fall apart, my crafted work of art
My work, my knife, and now to end your life
So, grab a bone, have a stab, 你可吞下我謊言 ("You can swallow down my lies")
I'm still preying on the Crewmates' trust

Still Voting, hopeless, and in vain

Now, I must first preface this by saying that my vision [heh] of Among Us' world differs significantly from the vision Innersloth clearly has. I interpret it as a grim, noir murder mystery with strong horror elements, intended to capture the fear of knowing that existence is a lie. Was that delivered? Of course not. It's apparent that the more common idea of the game is a goofy game to be casually played with friends, with these comedic elements clearly being prioritized in the show. The show makes sure to leave humor between serious moments, which I do sometimes enjoy, but it does obviously take me out of my immersion in the world.

Am I saying it's a bad show, necessarily? No. I am saying, however, that this show is clearly not intended for my tastes. It's unapologetically a show for teenagers, which is fine. I'm simply disappointed that Innersloth didn't want to leave their roots as the "funny bean game" to instead more closely resemble their source material of The Thing.

As for the show itself, I have no fucking clue how episode 5 got past approval. I know that the show is rated TV-14 and all, but the Crewmates have an orgy in the episode, and then proceed to draw softcore porn of Blue. The part where they have a hallucinogenic trip was supposedly from oxygen deprivation, but it was obviously meant to resemble LSD---especially because Cyan is a hippie, and was the lead of that specific episode. I'm not clutching my pearls about "sex on TV" or anything, but the rating should certainly be a year or two higher---at least for that episode. I have no issues with the gore, though. It's also quite apparent that the show clearly takes inspiration from Cartoon Network shows, considering its art style, direction, expressions, and effects. Again, not a bad thing in and of itself, just not the way I choose to interpret the game.

I also think it's interesting that everyone is referred to as "they/them" in the show, implying Crewmates lack the concept of gender. MIRA is confirmed to be an unethical, for-profit Corporation, and their primary product is using the Ore-Plus for fuel. The Ore-Plus was thought to be rocks, but they're actually Impostor eggs. Impostors apparently kill for fun, though it's also strongly implied that they attack the Crewmates to crack the eggs and release the Impostor babies. They presumably infect existing Crewmates, taking their memories and appearance as a result, though it's also technically possible that their backstories are fabricated. Engineers are also implied to suffer from "squishy bone disease", ala Danny Gonzalez---hence why only Impostors and Engineers can Vent, as their and the Impostors' bones let them fit into the tight spaces. Impostors don't have bones, so they can't perform the Submit Scan.

That said, I have written my own Among Us story in a comically long Google Doc, using my take on the game. This is unrelated to the show; it began production a very long time ago.

I am Mr Sloth, and I have a question for you. Have you ever felt lonely? Have you ever felt bored? Have you ever felt like MIRA was just using you? Have you ever felt like a giant sloth deity was watching and guiding you to eradicate every parasitic alien shapeshifters that try to kill and replace us? If so, come join us, the Children of the Sloth! We will give you a home, we will give you friends, and we will give you a purpose.

The first person didn't know what we were doing.

I don't know when they got enabled.

Glory to MIRA!
