The ASL Counter Brownie
This fairylike creature or spirit lives unseen in the game rooms and counter storage systems of ASL players.
When players exhausted by a long night of ASL retire, leaving the pieces to be sorted out after some sleep the ASL Counter Brownie appears. Quick as a wink the industrious Brownie cleans up the battlefield putting each counter in it's proper place then disappears.
Occasionally the ASL Counter Brownie's mischievous nature takes over and it will rearrange the counters in some peculiar and unhelpful ways. Such as alphabetically, all the " A " counters in one section regardless of unit or nationality, B in another and so on.
No one knows why the Brownie engages in this behavior though several hypotheses have been put forward. Professor Talo of the University of Astragal maintains they are creatures from another dimension who suffer from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. When a rift in the dimensional wall swept thousands of them into our dimension the first thing they saw was the remains of a monster scenario that the players had been too tired to put up. Instantly they realized where the counters belonged and put them away. They then spread throughout the planet looking for ASL counters that needed properly stored.
Some credence is given to the OCD aspect of this theory from reports of a small creature, apparently delusional, that was spotted in the ex game room of the band GWAR. It was pulling pieces from a
BV game box and then dropping them back in all the while muttering no, no no. This researcher has been unable to verify this story.?
