Reddit and the Red Pill Challenge

Reddit has asked me to do what they call an Ask Me Anything interview with The Red Pill subreddit:

 Well it's a new year and we're starting off right. I've been in touch with a lot of the prominent voices of the manosphere, and we're still working out particulars on a lot of these, but I'm posting the annoucement right now because our AMA series is going to begin shortly, and I don't want anybody to miss them.  I'm going to put this list in the sidebar, and update it as more details arrive. Here's our current schedule:

Date (EST)	Name	Site
1/15/13 10:00am	Vox Day	Alpha Game
1/21/13 12:00pm	Rollo Tomassi	Rational Male
1/28/13 12:00pm	xsplat	Random Xpat Rantings
2/04/13 06:00pm	RooshV	RooshV , Return of Kings
2/13/13 11:00am	Redpillwifey	Adventures in Red Pill Wifery

You can participate in the discussion here.  It kicks off at 10 AM Eastern, and please note that it is called "Ask Me Anything", not "I'll Tell You Everything".

A year in Alpha

I launched Alpha Game just over one year ago because I felt the topic of intersexual relations and their consequences for society and Western civilization merited its own focused blog.  Here's what has happened since:

Oct 2011: 26,916 visits and 42,573 pageviews
Oct 2012: 103,524 visits and 144,870 pageviews

Special thanks to Glenn Reynolds, Dr. Helen, Keoni Galt the Hawaiian Libertarian, Susan Walsh, Athol Kay, Rollo Tomassi, Dalrock, Badger, Roissy, and Roosh.  Most of the growth of AG's readership is due to those 10 individuals and the links to posts here that they have graciously provided to their own readers.

Already we're seeing ideas from the androsphere circulate out into the mainstream, both in the news and on television.  It's seldom credited, or Roissy would be a household name already, but the more important thing is that the ideas are gradually begin to transform society.  It's probably too late to save the West from fracture and collapse, as decades of equalitarianism and feminism have done irreparable damage to society and civilization alike.  But the seeds of societal revival have not only been planted, they are sprouting.

And sometimes, things have to get worse before they can begin to improve.

Fire away

I don't have a FAQ here yet, so in the process of putting one together, I'd like to invite you to ask any Alpha Game-relevant questions you might have. I shall do my best to answer them, within reason. But please keep in mind that I'm not going to answer any personal questions that concern my relationships; if you're looking for vicarious thrills, I suggest you consider visiting Athol's site.

Exhibiting Sigma

One's socio-sexual rank can often be determined by the way one responds to an unfamiliar woman's request for assistance:

A couple weekends ago, I came back to my apartment with some female friends to watch a movie. I went into the kitchen, and one friend said, “Uh…is that a big bug on your ceiling?”

I looked up at the ceiling and didn’t see anything. Then I looked where she actually meant, and there, sitting on the vent, was a cockroach that was maybe 2 1/2 inches long. My friends immediately wanted to find a guy in the building to kill it. I suggested a neighbor who I was pretty sure was male (judging by the chubby guys I had seen entering with bottled beer on another occasion), so my friends ran over to recruit his services. Alas, he was not home.

The instinctive Game-related interpretation of this situation would be to read it as a conventional test. Whereas the BETA will leap at the opportunity to demonstrate his servile willingness to provide services on the off-chance that this will make him appear more attractive to the cowardly woman, the Alpha understands that doing her such a service will only be a display of low value and render him a utility tool in the woman's eyes.

The Sigma, on the other hand, will cheerfully agree to help the woman out, but only, as he explains to her with a slightly unsettling smile, because he "likes to kill". Bonus points if he asks her if seeing things die turns her on, triple bonus points if she backs away wide-eyed, retracts the request, and flees. Women like dangerous men; notice how supervillains are always surrounded by attractive and extremely obedient women.
