Java Among Slimes - Trollers

[GiraffeLars]

Hello! I think it's safe to say we all hate trollers, especially the ones who ruin the entire game for another.

That's why I'd like to suggest a small change/addition to what things are considered to be Trolling in Among Slimes.
There are some people out there, who press the emergency button to say someone vented, while that not being the case. That's why I'd like this to be changed. My idea is that it's considered to be trolling when:
1. The game has just started +- maximum of one minute.
2. The person pressing the button and the accused must both be a crewmate.
3. The person pressing the button obviously had no way of seeing the accused venting.

This way, trollers can be punished while still keeping the fun of Among Slimes alive.
If you agree, please press , if not please tell me why!

Thank you!

If all of your points you counted will be respected I think it's a very good idea. I mean as you said, we all hate trollers.

1. The game has just started +- maximum of one minute.

2. The person pressing the button must be a crewmate.

3. The person pressing the button obviously had no way of seeing the accused venting.

I don't think you understand the point here. It's about trolling as a crewmate, so if you saw someone vent in the first seconds of a match, then that person is obviously an imposter. In this suggestion, I'm talking about crewmates ejecting other crewmates by saying one vented in the first seconds of a match. Meaning getting out an imposter is still completely fine.
I also edited the suggestion to make this a bit more clear. See point 2.

Hi,

I agree on the fact that crewmates shouldn't be ejecting other crewmates by lying and saying they saw them vent. That's basically the one thing you're trying to explain here if I understand correctly. However, I'm a bit unsure about this rule getting implemented.

+ Sure, it sounds very logical for this to be punishable as it ruins the game for the crewmates a bit because one person wants to troll.

- Getting evidence might be hard as a crewmate, you'd have to wait for the game to finish to make sure the accuser wasn't an imposter. With a maximum amount of 5 screenshots per report, you might not be able to get the entire chat of the game, as that would be needed for proof. You'd need to record your game and upload a video of 5 minutes max on YouTube.
- Breaking your proposed rule might sometimes not be intended as trolling. For example, when lights are out and you hear someone kill, then someone passes by, players tend to say they 'saw' the kill to reinforce their statement. I would be guilty of doing this once or twice as well: being 99% sure of someone being the imposter and they actually weren't.
- Phrases like 'I saw them vent', 'I saw them kill' might become more sus to say with this rule being implemented, making it harder for the imposters.

Still don’t agree cuz

The game has just started +- maximum of one minute.

you can see it wrong

The person pressing the button and the accused must both be a crewmate.

you can still see it wrong

The person pressing the button obviously had no way of seeing the accused venting.

how proof?

The first two seem way to harsh imo. It's easy to accuse the wrong person on accident. Lights could have been off, someone walked from the direction of a body, etc. I can think of so many situations where mix ups could happen which end up with the ejection of a crewmate via a meeting. I know I certainly have wrongly accused people people, and Im not alone. Punished people who simply mixed up colors, or thought they heard someone vent is extremely unfair, so I disagree.

As annoying as these "trolls" are, most of them are just new and inexperienced players who actually want to help get the impostors out, and sometimes they just end up not doing that, which is OK as everyone starts as a noob and then becomes better over time. All 3 points you've made I disagree with, mainly with the 3rd point because you are not the player who supposedly saw someone vent without actually seeing them, and therefore you can never know if they were using F5, had enabled subtitles or heard/saw something which you might've not. It is just unfair.
