Not everyone can be alpha right? That sort of goes into the definition of alpha and beta. If someone is in charge of a situation they are also responsible if it fails. As a beta I get the convenience of going along with some alpha's scheme without carrying such risk. I'm basically just "along for the ride" in any situation where an alpha is calling the shots. If things go well that's great. If things go bad it's not my fault.

Anyway I guess I don't see why RP is so adamant about being alpha.
