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.

Agies Grimm:The "Learn to play, bro" mentality is mostly just a way for someone to try to shame you by implying that their metaphorical nerd-wiener is bigger than yours. Which, ironically, I think nerds do even more vehemently than jocks.

Everything is made up and the points don't matter. 40K or Who's Line is it Anyway?

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'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).

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.

Casual player here.

It is getting harder to play the game, but I keep buying stuff. Mostly background and Codexes, but some models too.

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.

What no semi-competitive in pickup games, and friends?

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.

I pretty much play casually, although I'm preparing for Invasion December.
