Crewmate Guide: How to Never Get Tricked
AdminJuly 8, 2026406 views
Being a good Crewmate is harder than being Impostor. Here's the system used by top players to never get fooled.
The Color Memory System
| Color | Typical Role | Watch For |
|---|---|---|
| Red | Gets voted out first | Actually often crewmate |
| Blue | Claims admin tasks | Check admin table |
| Black | Plays silently | Possible impostor |
| Purple | Self-proclaimed detective | Often wrong |
| Yellow | Task-pusher | Trustworthy (usually) |
| White | Follower | Mani-- END |
Task Verification System
Visual tasks you can confirm:
- Weapons: Asteroids animation (visible to all)
- Shields: Shield bubble (visible to all)
- MedBay: Scan (visible to all)
- Electrical: Divert power sparks (visible near the panel)
Non-visual tasks people lie about:
- Download (anywhere with the folder icon)
- Wires (any room with wires)
- Keys (Admin, Storage, Security)
- Card swipe (Admin)
Crewmate Decision Flowchart
1. Did you see them kill? -> Yes: REPORT IT IMMEDIATELY
2. Did you see a visual task? -> Yes: They are crewmate, defend them
3. Did you see them near a body? -> SUSPICIOUS, but not proof
4. Did they fake a task? -> EJECT them (watch the task bar move or not)
5. Are they following you for 30+ seconds? -> They're either impostor or bad crewmate
6. Did they skip voting twice? -> SUSPICIOUS (good crewmates vote to narrow suspects)
The single best crewmate tip: Watch the task bar. If a meeting is called and the task bar is at 10%, but someone claims they did 3 tasks, they're lying. The task bar only moves when a player completes a task. Commit each player's claimed tasks to memory. The task bar doesn't lie. This is the most underused crewmate tool in SEA servers -- players there rely too much on social deduction and not enough on task tracking.
