He's one for three with a single: gamers are competitive. Reading the book, I did get the sense that, if there were prestige or money at stake, Gygax and Arneson would have fought over just about anything were they to have to share it. If they were allowed to split $0.05 for every cat without a tail in the Midwest, they would've argued over (with each other and through proxies) what a cat was, how much of a tail needed to be docked for it to be docked, and what states were really in the Midwest.  I also suspect that Gygax would've gone out docking tails in his spare time while this argument was ongoing.  They're both kind of vicious and petty.  Which is, I suppose, just to say I found a lot of the book deeply unpleasant.</p></blockquote><p></p>
