It is now 11 years later. Have the people who embarked on quests to become 1000-year-old vampires succeeded? If not, where did they fail? What obstacles did they face and how did they overcome them? Please pass on your knowledge to the next generation of aspiring vampires. The world is at stake after all.
My friends and I are eager to receive your wisdom and succeed where you failed (or follow in your footsteps if you succeeded). Helping to accelerate the next generation of vampires is probably among the highest-leverage things one can do and certainly something a 1000-year-old vampire would have done.

FWIW I think that’s what Eliezer tried to do by writing the sequences and HPMoR, so I’d recommend studying those. Nate Soares also wrote some stuff on mindingourway.com. (Wouldn’t shock me if Nate is the author if this post but wouldn’t think particularly probable either.)
There’s a decent amount of other useful stuff on LW or so, but I wouldn’t see other people as that much of 1000year old vampires. But examples include: CFAR-handbook/hammertime, bewelltuned.com, stuff Reamon is recently writing about, and perhaps a lot of other stuff. Just see what works well for you.
I think those are trying to give people a good start but I’d guess maybe for advancing to higher beisutsukai levels it’s hard to give general advice that will work for many people and one might have to find one’s own path.
