A funny thing happened the other day

I’m keen 54 deep sea fishing. Last week I was on my dad’s boat with my friend Tom, and I caught a huge shark. I wasn’t strong 55 to pull the fish onto the boat, and I couldn’t let it 56 because I didn’t want to lose the fishing rod.

I’d 57 not say what happened next, but I will, though it’s a bit embarrassing. The shark was stronger than me, and it pulled me over the side of the boat! If Tom hadn’t been so interested 58 videoing the whole thing, he could have helped me. So there I was in the sea, being pulled along by the shark. Eventually, I had to allow the fish to swim off.

In 2018, the game did not receive much publicity, but in 2020, thanks to Twitch and YouTube, it achieved popularity. Due to the increased interest in it, a sequel was announced - Among Us 2. Subsequently, the sequel was canceled on September 23, 2020, the developers decided to develop the original game [12] [13].

Gameplay

Among Us is a top-down third-person game that allows the player to move in all directions. From four to ten players can play in one round. At the start of the game, everyone is secretly assigned the role of a traitor or crew member. Impostor (from English - "Pretender", in Russian translation "Traitor") can hide in the ventilation hatch, arrange sabotages and kill cosmonauts, and traitors cannot kill each other. Their goal is to kill almost all crew members (if there are as many cosmonauts as traitors, then the latter win), or destroy the ship / headquarters / research base (depending on the map) by sabotage. The goal of the astronauts is to complete personal tasks in the form of simple puzzles scattered throughout the map. If all tasks are completed, then the traitors will lose. Also, crew members can achieve victory by eliminating traitors during the vote.

At the scene of the murder, a corpse remains, upon finding which any player can start an urgent meeting, at which, during the discussion, the players figure out the traitor and vote for the suspect. The player who received the maximum number of votes is thrown into space, lava or thrown off a cliff (depending on the map), that is, he dies, but continues the game in the form of an invisible ghost that can continue to perform tasks (or arrange sabotage, if he is a traitor), go through through the walls and watch what is happening, but has no right to vote and communicate with other live players. Players have the right to vote for anyone, even for themselves, or not vote at all, in this case, if more than half did not vote, then no one is eliminated. If all the traitors are killed, the astronauts will win. It is possible to have a discussion even if no one has died, however this function has a limit of use. If a traitor has committed a murder, then the next he can do only after a while.

A traitor can sabotage at any time: lock one of the rooms, turn off the light (narrowing the field of view), disrupt the communication system, start the countdown until the reactor explodes or oxygen leaks. In the event of an alarm, a countdown begins; before it expires, two crew members must simultaneously press special buttons, otherwise the traitors will win [14].

Development, release and popularity

This section is incomplete.

Among Us was inspired by the salon team-based psychological turn-based RPG game "Mafia". The game was originally intended to be a mobile exclusive, with only one map. In June 2018, the video game was released on Android and iOS. Shortly after the release of Among Us, it was played by 30 to 50 players simultaneously [15]. Programmer Forest Willard considered it "not well released," which designer Marcus Bromander said was because his team was "really bad at marketing." After receiving feedback from players, the team decided to add online multiplayer, and later that year, the game appeared on Steam. [4] Support for the game between platforms was made available after release [16]. In 2019, two additional cards were issued [17] [18].

From ancient times people dreamed to depart to space unknown to them. For this purpose, a century after a century many scientists and not only, dreamed to make flight in a space. And only in the middle of the twentieth century there came an era of astronautics, having begun with start into a circumterraneous orbit of the first artificial satellite. It was only the first step. After that the astronautics started to develop unprecedented rates therefore in only some years in space the first live beings – dogs Belka and Strelka were sent already. The spacecraft with animals onboard safely returned to Earth. Both dogs felt perfectly. It from them left after herself numerous posterity. But weeds Belka and Strelka was only dress rehearsal of flight in space of the person. On April 12, 1961 the first person went to space. It was our compatriot – Yury Alekseevich Gagarin. The whole world remembered his words said by it before flight: let's roll ! Gagarinsky flight moved heaven and earth, gave hope to people on the future. Gagarin and his followers during rather short period of time turned a space into a usual workplace. New spaceships started to be created, to planets of solar system started automatic devices, into an orbit space stations were deduced, the person left in an outer space and visited the Moon.ПЕРЕВОД:  С древних времён люди мечтали полететь в неизвестный им космос. С этой целью, век за веком многие учёные и не только, мечтали совершить полёт в космическое пространство. И только в середине двадцатого века наступила эра космонавтики, начавшись с запуска на околоземную орбиту первого искусственного спутника. Это был только первый шаг. После этого космонавтика начала развиваться невиданными темпами, в результате чего всего через несколько лет в космос были отправлены уже первые живые существа – собаки Белка и Стрелка. Космический аппарат с животными на борту благополучно вернулся на Землю. Обе собаки чувствовали себя прекрасно. Она из них оставила после себя многочисленное потомство. Но полет Белки и Стрелки был только генеральной репетицией полёта в космос человека. 12 апреля 1961 года в космос отправился первый человек. Это был наш соотечественник – Юрий Алексеевич Гагарин. Весь мир запомнил его слова, произнесённые им перед полётом: “Поехали”! Гагаринский полёт перевернул весь мир, дал надежду людям на будущее. Гагарин и его последователи в течение сравнительно короткого периода времени превратили космическое пространство в обычное рабочее место. Начали создаваться новые космические корабли, к планетам солнечной системы стартовали автоматические аппараты, на орбит выводились космические станции, человек вышел в открытый космос и побывал на Луне.
