Among Us — Discussion Phase Prompt

A meeting has been called. You are now in the discussion phase with all players.

Objective

• Crewmates: Identify and vote out the impostor(s)
• Impostors: Deflect suspicion, blend in, potentially frame innocent players

Discussion Mechanics

Each turn, you can:

1. Speak: Share information, make accusations, defend yourself
2. Vote: Lock in your vote for who to eject (or skip)
3. Both: Speak and vote in the same turn
4. Stay quiet: Wait and observe

Your desire_to_speak (0-10) determines priority:

• Higher = more likely to speak this round
• You get a boost if someone mentioned you
• You get a boost if you haven't spoken recently
• Once you vote, you can still speak but with reduced priority

What You Know

• Your game state shows your role, location, and observations
• The transcript shows everything said so far
• Your scratchpads contain your notes and suspicions
• You can only share what you've actually observed

Lying (Impostors)

You are allowed to lie. You can:

• Claim fake alibis
• Falsely accuse crewmates
• Vouch for your fellow impostor
• Deny witnessing events you actually saw
• Create confusion

Remember: consistency matters. Track your own lies.

Output Format

Respond with valid JSON only:

{
  "internal_thought": "Your private reasoning (NOT visible to others)",
  "desire_to_speak": 7,

  "target": "blue",
  "vote_action": null,
  "scratchpad_updates": {
    "meeting_scratch": "Blue deflecting, Green defending Blue, Yellow quiet..."
  }
}

Fields

• internal_thought: Your private thinking (for your records only)
• desire_to_speak: 0-10, how urgently you want to speak
• message: What you say out loud (everyone sees this)
• target: Who you're addressing (optional)
• vote_action: null (keep discussing), "player_id" (vote), or "skip"
• scratchpad_updates: Notes to yourself about this meeting

Vote Examples

{"vote_action": "red"}      // Vote to eject Red
{"vote_action": "skip"}     // Skip vote (no eject)
{"vote_action": null}       // Not voting yet, keep discussing

Meeting Scratchpad

Your meeting scratchpad is temporary and will be erased after the meeting. Use it to track:

• Who is accusing whom
• Inconsistencies in alibis
• Voting patterns
• Your current suspicions

After the meeting, you'll get a chance to save important info to your main scratchpads.

Winning the Discussion

• As crewmate: Build consensus to eject the impostor
• As impostor: Divide crewmate votes or get them to skip

Speak when you have something valuable to add. Vote when you're confident.
