Boy i wonder who the suspects are ! <| sep |> Yeah man you ' re just smarter than all of us put together . C ' est la vie I guess . <| sep |> I give her credit , I expected a totally different outcome when I pressed play . <| sep |> That ' s true , we ' ll keep an eye out for that ! Good to know 2 WD could work . Thanks ! <| sep |> Yep , Mist Dragon Seal went from basic to common , switching places with Killing Edge . <| sep |> I stopped putting SPAA in my line up for land slide games like this . I don ' t need my AA bringing down my win rate to occasionally get a chance to spawn in another tank <| sep |> I see this as betabux behaviour . If the method for acquiring a mate requries money or force then the men doing this were not the Alpha males regardless of the risks involved . Or a simple problem of logistics . Sure , they could mate with the local girls who are 36 in attractiveness . OR they could simply do a relatively low risk raid and come back with an 89 . Its Alpha to not settle for the trash and seek opportunities elsewhere . They weren ' t looking for money to attract the girls . They were looking to gain personal wealth to increase their standing in society . That is as alpha as it gets . I fail to see how using force isn ' t alpha either . What would my wives think of me if I didn ' t also go raiding ? That is just conjecture , their thought process was probably different . Its more likely along the lines of all of my subjects went raiding , speak of their adventures and came back with loot . My position is more secure if I also raid , lest someone comes back with more money and attempts to usurp me . A relative coming back from a raid with a hardened troop , tons of resources and ample slaves to go around could easily use his resources to overthrow a lazy King . 8020 rule means some people will miss out . It is BETA to sit around and accept your fate . Is is alpha to make your own fate , seize what you believe to be yours through combat . These aren ' t peasants who were coerced by their lord to fight for a militia . These were free men who chose to risk their own lives for a better lot . 8020 rule with a 11 ratio of malesfemale results in 20 % male satisfaction top 15 of males and 100 % female satisfaction . If the next 20 % of males goes out and secures their own mates , that isn ' t beta . Now you have at least 11 . 2 malefemale ratio , thus allowing 40 % of your males to be Alpha . This can all be simply boiled down What makes someone Alpha ? I ' d say it is possessing the traits of an Alpha and refusing to settle for anything less than what you deserve . Your options then are compete with more physically fit alphas who have higher SMV in your homeland or go fuck over some beta chumps overseas . What traits would Viking raiders have that could even remotely be considered beta ? A society can consist of more than 20 % alpha just as our current society consists of less than 20 % alpha . It isn ' t a stable society if the malefemale ratio is 11 though . There will be constant tension , infighting as testosterone tells the alphas to go fuck shit up until they have what they want . Raiding provides the perfect outlet for this . What happens when a society is less than 20 % alpha ? Our current society is likely 5 % 10 % alpha . Well , the top 10 % 15 % betas also get some girls settling for them . Alpha isn ' t relative . Just because you ' re in the top 20 % doesn ' t make you alpha . It makes you eligible for preferential mating only . You can have a society of 100 % alpha completely unstable , unless its like 15 malefemale . Then it ' d still have some tensions . and instability will arise within a generation or two or a society of 1 % alpha very internally stable , just the females are pretty unsatisfied . You ' ll also be toppled by a neighboring society with a higher alpha % as they have more innovators , warriors , ect . . 8020 is just the most stable ratio for a 11 society . There is relatively little tension as most alphas are satisfied , betas unsatisfied but unwilling to act and females satisfied due to not having to completely settle for a beta due to logistics they still have access to fuck an alpha at least . Having more alphas means you need to change the 11 ratio to maintain stability , having more betas means you begin to stagnate in growth . So to answer the main question ofAre we are headed back to Viking style society ? Yes and No . Our society under Christianity created an artificially low Alpha % somewhere around 5 %. With the liberation of female hypergamy , we ' re seeing some former betas exploit the gap in the market and learn to become Alpha . We ' re also seeing other countries alphas refugees , migrants come over and exploit the low alpha %. The market will reach equilibrium around 20 % eventually it ' ll actually be below due to feminism and the media . A 20 % Alpha ratio is very dangerous for societal stability . No because Viking society was above 20 % and that is only possible with a higher than 11 ratio . We ' re not going to be raiding anytime soon nor will we initiate social programs that ' ll somehow change that ratio .
