Casually. I play to see armies clash and watch the battle unfold (and maybe get an awesome moment or two to remember).

Your poll is missing a lot of options. For example, there is no "I mostly play pickup games in stores", and the only option for not being a "casual" player is only playing in tournaments.
|
There is no such thing as a hobby without politics. "Leave politics at the door" is itself a political statement, an endorsement of the status quo and an attempt to silence dissenting voices. |

I basically quit playing. I collect, and paint even slower more than I collect.

I have models that I have collected and painted.
I no longer play the game, though - but this does not mean I have to get rid of the models.
I haven't added to the collection since I stopped playing, so whilst I have a collection, I don't add to it because I don't play so I'm a non-playing non-collector with a collection.

I play very casually with a group of friends, but sometimes play in local tourney's just for a change of pace/meet new people.

Ultra-casual. I'll let anything go in-game so long as it's cool, put narrative before tactics, invest a lot of time in fluff and painting, and I'm lucky enough to play with players who share the same mindset.

The only way to play, competitive. To crush your enemies is the greatest thing in the world

I said casual with occasional competitive play, but that's largely due to the scarcity of competitive events in my region. I'd play tournies more frequently if I could.

I am not sure what you mean by semi-competitive. The way I think about it is either a game is just for fun or bragging rights (making it casual regardless of competitive spirit) or it has an entry fee and you are competing for a prize or official title (making it competitive).

Basically playing for fun with a competitive spirit.
Think going into a MTG Regional with a pauper deck.
God that was fun. won a game with a 1$ blue/red mimic deck against what must of been a 200$ 5 color control during the beginning of shards of alara.

Being an Ork player with many conversions, not sure Tournaments would allow my army. So just casual games for me.
