Woodhaven distilled

Found some good articles on the Natural game journals: One , Two

You should click over and read them for yourselves, so I'm not gonna summrize them here.

What I took away was:

On one hand, it ultimately comes down to whatever method or way that you feel good doing and are successful with. E.g. the "passive value building" mentioned (jump in with a story of your own when it fits into a conversation) vs. Mystery's more proactive approach (walk up to her and tell her the (possibly prepared) story. It's really a matter of jugdgement, being more active vs. risking to be seen as needy.

On the other hand, there is a common set of "natural laws". For example , the Value-Compliance-Attainablity method (I don't like the term "manipulation") is really just the "Attract her, then build comfort, then close" model of Mystery and many others given new names.

Which *really* boils down to that most important principle of all: Walking the fine line between push-over and asshole.
