Raid Among Us

An Among Us–style raid minigame addon for World of Warcraft that adds deception and strategy to your raid experience!

📖 Description

Raid Among Us transforms your raid group into a thrilling game of deception. Players are secretly assigned as either Imposters 👾 or Crewmates 🧑‍🚀. Imposters must secretly sabotage other players through various tasks while Crewmates try to identify and vote out the saboteurs.

- Wrong Target (45s CD): Attack incorrect targets for 15 seconds
- AFK Dance (35s CD): Type /dance mid-fight for 3 seconds
- Ignore Mechanic (45s CD): Intentionally fail a non-lethal safe mechanic once
- Call Wrong Marker (30s CD): Call an obviously wrong marker once

⚙️ Sabotage Configuration

Customizing Sabotages

Raid leaders can customize sabotage names, descriptions, and cooldowns using /rau config:

Configuration Features:

Custom Names: Change button labels (e.g., "Lag Spike" instead of "Pretend Disconnect")
Custom Descriptions: Modify task instructions sent to victims
Cooldown Adjustment: Fine-tune balance with custom cooldown timers
Cross-Raid Sync: Changes automatically sync to all raid members
Persistent Storage: Configurations save between sessions

How It Works:

Leader configures - Only raid leaders/assistants can access /rau config
Auto-broadcast - Changes instantly sync to all raid members
Auto-request - New members automatically receive current config
Live updates - Imposter UIs refresh with new settings immediately

Example Customizations:

Encounter-specific: "Stand in Fire" for fire-based fights
Roleplay-friendly: "Celebration Dance" instead of "AFK Dance"
Balance tweaks: Reduce cooldowns for more frequent sabotages

💡 Tips & Best Practices

For Raid Leaders

Start with 1-2 imposters for first-time groups
