			== In the community ==
			''The Game'' is ethnography with a plot: [[Project Hollywood]], the rivalry with [[Owen Cook\|Tyler Durden]], [[Ross Jeffries]] as "godfather," Mystery's collapse and return. It is the reason civilians know [[negging]], [[peacocking]], and [[sarging]]. It is not this wiki's how-to. Club-routine layers dated fast; the observations about [[approach anxiety]], [[social proof]], and scarcity did not.

			Strauss is in-scope as the named journalist of the 2000s scene, not as a current coach. Technique leads stay with [[Chase Amante]].
