Well, you've made it to the final lecture, I'll grant you that. No amount of cantankerous Crewmates, oxygen emergencies could prevent you from seeing your favorite lecturer, Professor Beanbus Percibean Airlock Brian Bumblebean, Adjunct.
My continued observations of the Among Us 3D phenomenon have led me to a rather unsettling discovery: the participants are not content with the carefully constructed default parameters of social deduction.
No, in their boundless ambition, they have seized control of the very fabric of the game itself, wielding a suite of "custom lobby settings" with all the discernment of a toddler with a loaded particle accelerator.
This, of course, presents a unique opportunity for scholarly inquiry. When the rules themselves are mutable, what does that reveal about the nature of Beans? When the very concept of "fairness" can be re-written on a whim, what emergent behaviors arise?

Play around with:
Vision Radius Make it harder for Impostors to see Crewmates (also great for playing hide and seek) or make the game scarier for Crewmates
Kill Cooldown Make Impostors deadlier than ever, or slow them down to focus on winning via deception and sabotage
Ability Cooldown Let Engineers vent freely and Vigilantes rack up a body count. Or make their abilities scarce.
Voting Shorten the time of emergency meetings to add to the chaos, hide the role of who was ejected to keep everyone on edge, and mask who voted for who to keep the accusations flying.
Tasks Bog down the Crewmates in tasks so Impostors can bide their time and only strike at the perfect opportunity. Or turn off taskbar updates to keep the game end a mystery.
The "custom lobby settings" are not merely toggles and sliders; they are the tools of aspiring demiurges, allowing players to warp the very physics and social contract of their digital universe. It is a fascinating, if potentially disastrous, experiment in emergent gameplay and the boundaries of governance.
I urge you to delve into the untapped opportunities and expanding your mind with in the full Custom Lobby Settings lesson plan here.
Of course, even more lectures can be found in the class syllabus or "learning hub" to further education upon a plethora of Among Us 3D-related subject matters.
Go on, then. The scientific theory demands experimentation.
Class dismissed.
