INDIVIDUAL ACTIVITY

The game that I am familiar with and have played frequently in my mobile
phone is AMONG US. Us is a multiplayer escape game developed by Innersloth
studio. Your goal is to identify the Impostors, eliminate them, and complete tasks
around the map. If you play as Impostors, your goal is to sabotage the mission by
killing the Crewmates covertly. In this game, you participate in a match where
there are from four to ten players. Each player has his own private role in this
game. The player may be a “Crewmate” and “Imposter”. Cooperating with chosen
crewmates, you have to identify imposters and eliminate them. Among us is
essentially a survival game in which all impostors are to be voted away. Then, all
tasks of crewmates are finished. Unlike Crewmate, the Imposter must destroy the
crewmates to avoid them from doing their tasks to win. As a result, being an
imponent is enjoyable for all the players since you need to cheat and kill your
rivals. If a player from either side stops the match, the game will also end.
Surveillance devices are available for cremates to detect the impostors on any
map, such as the security cameras in The Skeld, a critical Polus indicator, and a
door log in the MIRA HQ. Crewmates will also prove their identities through visual
activities that impostors cannot fake. A live player may also organize a community
meeting by announcing a dead body or clicking the emergency meeting button.
Some mechanics of Among Us involve:
-Ability to move with a simple toggle (the emphasis is not on the moving action
therefore it’s simple and effective).
-Ability to vote on a particular crew member.
-Ability to play mini games (these are the tasks). They are very simple and short,
just require interacting with the screen and simple shapes.
-Ability to kill another crew member (only imposter gets this ability). It’s just a
button the player clicks when they are close to another player.

Short Presentation of on the advantages and disadvantages of having your

“experience goods.”
Experience goods are products and services whose value can only be truly
determined by consuming or experiencing them. A bottle of wine is the classic
example of an experience good, health care and beauty products are also
frequently cited. Experience goods are typically purchased based upon reputation
and recommendation since physical examination of the good is of little use in
evaluating its quality.
Advantages:
Goods with experience characteristics feature high pre-buying costs of quality
detection. Hence, the buyer learns the product’s attributes after buying and
consuming. The post-buying costs of quality detection are low for such goods.
This information can be used for further consumption of the product. Examples
for such goods are jobs, hotels, newspapers, music records and movies, wine,
restaurants, food.
Disadvantages:
The consumer does not initially know the quality and value of the item ,aside
from the price tag. The consumer will not know the true value until the product is
consumed.
