for the most part it is
its ghost jobs or shit jobs
i in theory should have a good job but the owner just sucks
what do you do for work/school/etc?
so now instead of having to go through 200 chips in 9-10 hours, its more like 2
mikeramp72 i mean still thats some super super cool shit ur doing
yeah :)
my entire campus and surrounding city is filled with ridiculous people
there's a student team making a fully functioning rocket
the goal is a MOON LANDING.
im a small man in comparison to the people here
i just like making silly robots and playing orgs <:caysilly:1397793274680311889>
xsoul.org those longshot dreams of something you REALLLY want to do

mikeramp72 plus africa is just such a cool continent in general
the entirety of north africa is must visits except for Algeria
it literally has NOTHING to do
i was gonna ask if algeria just had some like
bad government stuff going on
(ex. as an american i probably wouldn't recommend visiting the US anytime soon)
xsoul.org the entirety of north africa is must visits except for Algeria
morocco and egypt specifically are two places i wanna hit if i ever get the chance to get big into travel
that too, the government there is always fucking stupid, but it just has nothing because of its requirement that an Algerian needs at least 50% of a business to operate there
so there is zero foreign investment there, no franchises, and no real entertainment hubs there

6pm is long before it even gets started
mikeramp72 you know it's bad when israel is like "y'all are too evil"
i mean, it just helps their perpetuation of hate on the israeli people, creating a solidarity in that specific region that cannot be broken, and being dependant on their government because everywhere else hates them <:z_great:1399214094825029652>

the US political system is funny as hell
so is the European one as well
this is literally the Netherlands right now
xsoul.org the US political system is funny as hell
there's like zero shot any third parties have any chance at anything so its basically democrats vs republicans, they have a primary election to see who's 1v1ing
and for the dem primary i think kamala's running again, i want stephen a to play spoiler
xsoul.org so is the European one as well
thats hilarious
the concept of european parliments being that diverse (for better and worse) is insane to me

like when kanye ran for president he ran as a third party (he deadass ran as a member of "the birthday party") and he didn't even get like 15k votes nationwide
and this was back when people still had a little respect for kanye even though he was hanging out with like
2024-25 were peak levels of derangement from me
xsoul.org I was veeeeery disconnected from how heated the election was
i dont think too many non americans knew just how big of a threat trump is
like they obviously knew he was a threat but not like debatably more powerful than hitler levels
xsoul.org failed the exam because the scoring system is dogshit but we ball regardless
awwww shit i’m sorry
but at least that’s a weight lifted off your shoulders
xsoul.org fun night last night?
yeah!
i got lowkey a little more drunk than i thought i did
my two major demons phases one was a lotta weight gain in 2020 and a lotta weight loss in 2024-5

still gotta probably like
thats a lesson ive very very tragically learned
she treated me like shit but i (thought i) loved her too much to cut her off
and i just spent the whole time scrambling to fix things
i should've cut her off long before she was the one to cut me off
this conversation got really deep for some reason 😭
mikeramp72 i mean winning alone would do that i’m guessing
just tell me the honest truth, is one of Virgo, Faye, or Riley trying to ice me out?
Corny missed his daily "yoooo" in my chat today
yeah and guess who i talked to about that
do you think I'm not going to talk to Dino?
she thought it was serious
why do you feel like I'm such a threat to your game that you'd be willing to spread lies about me to people who ALREADY DONT LIKE ME
if you have a problem with me
why are you bitching out of confrontation?
and I didn't miss those times in VC where you said "guys noooo, me and dino aren't together"
are we just gonna clipfarm for the spectators to think we hate each other lol
xsoul.org why do you feel like I'm such a threat to your game that you'd be willing to spr...
but i never outright said "soul said dino is a sociopath". i said "the way he's talking makes it seem to me like he's framing you this way"
just a very simple misconstruation of words, grapevines get lost in translation sometimes
but i just never know when you're going to flip your decision on who you want to both work on and target, its happened with just about everyone
having someone playing the game very hard and very unpredictably is not going to be the thing that's best for my game, it's just becoming increasingly difficult to believe you in this game
its so frustrating when chaos is happening everywhere... seemingly just because you can, and i know survivor is like that but i'm trying to play my own game here and i feel like your gameplay is in the way of mine, that simple
and it's difficult because i have to assume you're the most likely to win every comp and i always have to assume you have at least one idol
im not lying when i say i think you're not going home because it never feels like a safe shot to even fathomably take ever
after these last several rounds all ive wanted is just to be able to have control over my own game and well
it's not a matter of believing whether or not you're telling me the truth in the moment though, it's a matter of me not believing that what you're telling me is good for my game
and there's just been so much increase in the doubt i have that i can work with you if i want to get through this game long term and have a shot in front of a jury
the voice calls we had around the time of the merge i couldn't even get a pulse of what exactly you were thinking you wanted to do and i just don't want to walk away from conversations like that with more questions? i obviously was worried you were trying to turn my ally and i against each other because it's legitimately what works best for your game
it's obviously beneficial to you long term to try and get dino and i to lose trust in each other, and it's not beneficial for me to do that
so when i say i don't believe you
it's not that i think you're lying
i just don't believe that the things you pitch to me are good for me
xsoul.org why do you think I'm such a big bad evil
because being the bad guy in survivor seems like a great time
xsoul.org like genuinely, how do you not see a shield in me
there's variables to this
the main one is doubting that you're ever going to be vulnerable
i always feel the need to assume you'll either be immune or playing an idol on yourself
maybe that's being too worried on my part but you're ridiculous at the challenges and that you'll always find an idol, play it when vulnerable, find it again, rinse and repeat
xsoul.org truly one of a kind players
which is why you're a threat
too fucking good at everything
it's a problem for my game that someone is here just
xsoul.org yeah because I was awake for when the idol was hidden this episode
also i was searching for a while for it and i deadass got so so stuck on that one step
survivor's a hell of a drug
xsoul.org you gotta stop taking all these drugs
i mean i am going back into org retirement after this
i always do this i play an org, i retire for like several months, i come back, i retire again
mikeramp72 the voice calls we had around the time of the merge i couldn't even get a pulse ...
because from those calls, I know you were asking me of something that you weren't doing yourself
you were asking me to not talk about the tribal, but i know for a fact you went right back to dino and talked about it right after our calls
if you're going to say something, and even more so ASK me to do stuff
plus lets say we work together long term
you obviously have katie, you've got quas in your back pocket, corny and lezaria as well
it'll get to a point where i just won't be able to get you out and where my best case scenario is losing final tribal
xsoul.org did I tell you about my self imposed rule
remind me
xsoul.org you were asking me to not talk about the tribal, but i know for a fact you went ...
i hope you could see where i was coming from though becuase i obviously didn't want dino to be perceived in a way i don't believe to be accurate
god i can't wait until this game ends and we can all be normal ass friends
xsoul.org i do and I don't, having me on your side until a critial strike point is the eas...
this is exactly it
"having me on your side until a critial strike point is the easiest way to stay in the game and not fucking die"
you hit the nail on the head as to how i feel
i want to have control over my own game
i mean at this point i know i don't have more than a couple rounds left in me
xsoul.org Even Riley as well
again i also figured after the one tribal
i've never even met virgo until the merge
like honestly i've lowkey accepted i'm gonna be on the jury by like
mikeramp72 it's not really an all out war, it's not my plan to just have pickoff after pick...
that's the fucking point im making bro
you are following your allies
not a demeaning way either
I THOUGHT YOU FIGURED THAT OUT
xsoul.org I'VE LOOKED AT EVERY USER
I DID THIS TOO THOUGH
LIKE I HAVE HUNDREDS OF COMMANDS IN MY SUBS CHANNE
also apologies if my responses start to slow down apparently escape room groups think it’s cute to cheat

i don’t know if you’re exaggerating the way you perceive me as the game passes along as a means of trying to convince me to save you
and if you aren’t, i’d like to know why you want me to be your zero vote finalist specifically
mikeramp72 i don’t know if you’re exaggerating the way you perceive me as the game passes a...
the only exaggeration i do in this game is of me
I am a larger than life version of me
i am not exaggerating when I say that I think you're a zero vote finalist if you keep things going the way they're going right now
you play safe, you let others do the work, and you hide behind the same ally who's been dictating the direction of your trio
no one wants to vote for you, not because you pissed them off, but because you have no moves to claim as your own
you would literally do better in a jury if you royally pissed people off with your moves, because at least then you know that you have equitable chance for any game jury voters
do I want to work with you?
does that mean I have to stiff you for it?
the best alliances are the ones that are wins on both sides
the best deals in business are the win/win deals
the best relationships are the ones where its 60/40, but each one is trying to give 60
do you get the point im making
why would I go through the trouble of saving you if I didn't intend on trying to work with you
you smelling what im shitting bro
xsoul.org the only exaggeration i do in this game is of me
before i get into it more i also do a ton of exaggerating in this game of myself
like i lowkey do the "larger than life version of myself" thing too ive realized. i'm way more chill in normal circumstances
my confessionals are so dramatic #clipfarming
xsoul.org you would literally do better in a jury if you royally pissed people off with yo...
it is very early into the merge and i don't know if the jury is looking for sociability or strategy
i'm not just going to let those two do all the stuff while i sit there
xsoul.org my brother in christ, 30 minutes ago, you said you thought you'd be getting vote...
i was joking around
im bad at having that come across over text
i have yet to hear an argument about me that isn't based on a worry around the basis of me having already won or doing well in comps despite every comp before merge being based either on availability or i was neck and neck with others
like, i would argue the only comp pre-merge that would have shown something was the puzzle comp way back in the original tribes
and even then, lezaria came right next to me
say next round, no immunity no idol. who knows how the dynamics will shift around
maybe the chips lie next round in a manner where you're not in danger of going home, and then you aren't again
my thing is i just don't understand how i win this game if we go super long term, i really don't
xsoul.org so you're scared of doing winner things because it'll get you winner heat
i don't want to write my death warrant when it's early
it's just all about finding the right time
the right time to #BIGMOVE it isn't now
xsoul.org my online one is on https://xsoul.org
this is sick
nah this whole convo has just
because if some problems go some problems will arise
i should get out a whiteboard tomorrow when i'm at my radio station and like
how do i know i'm not being punked right now
and how do i know you're not just trying to make me your zero vote finalist
mikeramp72 and how do i know you're not just trying to make me your zero vote finalist
the best deals are always win/win
and do you think i'd push this hard if i thought I could win without elevating others
I need people to also be in winner spots
xsoul.org which means you have as much of a chance as I do to win
well yes
and again there’s things i’m not afraid to do down the line
but even if i were to, say, pull off something in the next 2 rounds
i wouldn’t want it to be something i did for the sake of doing it and then proceeding to get voted out
i don’t wanna make a #epicblindside at 9 and go at 8 in response yk
but soul let’s say we do squash the beef and peoples expectations and work together on this vote
but i don’t know who yours are
mikeramp72 i don't wanna put so much pressure on myself rn
i still don't get what pressure there is on you
is it still the actors tribal??
you weren't here for the grey vote, the game is dead right now
mikeramp72 ...to convince me to work with you?
sure, whatever makes you sleep at night
not like you had zero intention of working with me that round :)
maybe things change this round
<@&1414008636451197038> ok!
i have decided that this 1-1 is now CLOSED.
i do not want any more individual interraction between the two of you this season
i think there has been enough
it has officially gotten to that point
i dont want any more problems
mikeramp72 ahhhh fuck
this is good for you too in a sense
obviously n1 ally going bad
but more freedom to move in the game
xsoul.org this is good for you too in a sense
i also dont want this to sound like im talking down on you btw
i genuinely mean like, you have more freedom to move around in the game without allegiances
xsoul.org no one would idol him, and no one would expect it
and why wouldnt it have been me
no one had an idol to play on me
i'm not even being pushy or pissy i legit just wanna know lol
i'm like super sure she doesn't have one
she fully fully fully thought mateo was just gonna do it
xsoul.org I think I would have been able to get away with a you narrative and a Riley vote...
this wouldn't have worked as well as corny
if riley were to have an idol she would've played it on herself if my name was out there
this shit is so frustrating
i just can't catch a break
why would you be 50/50 when you have the votes and the security to vote riley now?
best case scenario, Riley goes home with an idol (99% sure she has it)
either way, it removes an extra variable from the vote next round
Katie will not be able to idol, and you'll have votes to take her out
xsoul.org no, not one idol is getting replanted, I checked the tribal councils of every ot...
i can only be so sure
again, i'm not ruling out voting out riley here, at all
i will be honest, her and i have discussed wanting to make fire against each other and having one of us win the game
xsoul.org i played ONE on me
it was really the only time you needed to yk
xsoul.org i would rather lose to someone interesting than win against someone boring
wait so
are you implying that you are fine with losing to me at final tribal council?
xsoul.org that was never up to you, she got safer as more tribals played out, and she woul...
i would've been fine with losing to her in fire tbh. but that's all long behind
she would've beaten everyone for suuuuure though
let's say you and i go to ftc together, who's your third, and what would you be thinking regarding final immunity and fire?
its a completely irrational construct
i know I'll have a harder time
but so is giving an idol to Quas
so is flipping a vote onto Faye
so is retaining vote control at F7
at least when it was in the game like 2 years ago
xsoul.org CUSTOMS THOUGH!!!!
BANG
what's an added bonus is that if the five of us play customs i don't get absolutely slaughtered by my irls
lezaria has played customs with my irls before, she can vouch that playing against my friend's little brother as killer is suicide inducing
💀 1
also you're really convincing me but i have at least one more question
say katie goes here, who do you want at 3 with me
i've looked at the fiovivor alumni sheet a couple times
best arc - "mike and soul (that's all that needs to be said)"
lowkey based on how i've observed the game thus far i think we're locks for the top 2 in character rankings
at least within the top 3
fan fave is like for sure riley or dino
mikeramp72 o
there's not much I can do but pitch myself for why I should stay in
you need a hedge bet against Riley
and I lose more jury votes to bittering than you do
like im fighting for second place no matter who makes it basically
fairs but what was her rationale
like it prolly woulda been a better idea to push me instead
because unless riley wins immunity i probably just won survivor
provided it’s a f3 and i don’t seriously fumble ftc (always possible)
