There are several 'visual' tasks (medical scan, taking out trash, shields, shooting astroids) that allow's one to prove they are a ligitimate crewmember. Casting doubt on you as a 'self reporter'. Also things like the security camara's add even more dimensions to the game.

There are so many things that can be configured (eg visual tasks can be turned off because they make the game trivially easy for a group that plays together often), it's interesting watching people adapt the game to their group and play level/maturity in the game. The game is so simple, and the meta-game is pretty simple too, but the meta-meta-game changes every round as people die and are voted off. It really hurt my brain quite a bit until I figured out that I was watching a meta-meta-game; and it still does hurt my brain a bit.

A high-risk, high-reward play I've seen is to kill someone, report the body, and claim you were on security camera and saw someone else do it. You can be caught out if it doesn't make sense for you to have been watching the cams, but while people keep a mental inventory of "who I saw doing what tasks," it often doesn't extend to the security room.

  Really only works for one round though, since you'll be Emergency voted out if imposter reveals are on.

    Depends, I've had a game where I was not the imposter but had 3 crewmates voted out on reports I made, yet I was not voted out myself. I would have been really suspicious of someone by that point myself.

  Imho, if you where a teammate and not a imposter, you should be voted out regardless if you're just lurking in security and not doing your tasks, so we can finish the game. But then there might be little incentive for you to do your tasks as ghost anyways. Or you can withhold doing tasks as ghost on purpose just to spite the crewmates that voted you out. Like I said this game has many dimensions, wheel within wheels.

    The rule I've learned from Mr. Fruit videos is do the tasks first, then you have all the time in the world for monitors.
