The Lancaster-Mills variant of the game
Dots and Dashes has always been around. Sumerian cuneiform tablets show great kings even enjoyed a game or two. It has been said that Alexander the Great won much of his lands in a D&D game. But it was not until recently, that the game REALLY took off. That D&D became more than "just a dumb game".
In the year of the Goran (2001, Goran Ivanisevic finally and deservedly wins Wimbledon), a couple of first-year pharmacy students, Christopher Lancaster and Matthew Mills, found that university life was not all they thought it would be. You had these things called lectures. They were boring. It was a rarity that students would actually sit quiet and listen. Desperate for something to do, the pair had a quick game of noughts and crosses. This became a quick 100 games. How can you win such a game? It sucks.
They searched desperately for a fun way to waste time during their lectures. While chatting, joking, sleeping, fidgeting, joke-telling and watch-watching were popular choices, pen-and-paper games provided that extra bit of mental stimulation required to survive another 10 minutes of lecture-time. Finally, Matty introduced Chris to a different game. A better game. He would live to regret this action. Dots and dashes became the norm, but it was modified to make it more accessible to the common man.
After their first few games of Dots and Dashes, it was made known to Chris that once an opportunity to take a square came up (i.e. you only had to add 1 line to complete the square), you HAD to take it. Being quite lazy, Chris opted to scrap this rule, and Matty concurred.
Thus was born the simpler (though it allowed for other more devious strategies), and more exciting game of D&DLMV. Dots and Dashes, Lancaster-Mills Variant. D&DLMV would do to D&D, what Texas Hold 'Em did for Poker. Dots and Dashes would take the world by storm.
The Legends - Christopher Lancaster
aka Chris, the Chris, Chrissy, Chrisso, Godboy, ulet, dipsh*t, bro, babes, Lataster, Lancaster, the Lancaster Bomber and Chris the elite (I wish...).
Born in the ghettos of Amsterdam, 'im somehow ended up in Australia. Not knowing what to do with himself, he went to Pharmacy School, claiming, "it'd be a bit of a laugh!"
Ethnically, Chris could have played for nearly any country, identifying as a Dutch-German-French-Assyrian-Chinese-Filipino-Spaniard. He settled on Holland, because... hey, it's about time they won something.
The Legends - Matthew Mills
aka Matt, Matt-factor, Matty, Microwave, ulet, Guilty Gear!, Millsy, dumb*ss
This guy is white bread personified. Not to be feeling left out, he claimed that he had some German in him. He plays for Australia though, even though they already win everything.
Matty wanted to become a doctor. He ended up going to Pharmacy School after a drunken game of Truth-Or-Dare went horribly wrong.
