Errare Humanum Est
And if you can forgive someone for not being an ASL player, that would be divine!
Seriously Gents, I feel this thread and OP's question has gone way off track and IMHO should never of been asked in the first place, Jack nails it, I want the person/S I play against to be friends, anything else to my mind elevates the idea of the elite ASL player and creates a situation where some clearly think they are better than others.
as long as you enjoy the game and play it a bit who gives a frig what you call yourself, I play as many here do lots of game systems, I love playing Panzer, does that make me a Panzer'ist! I can not get enough of Streets of Stalingrad L2's version, does that mean I am a 'Stalingradist?' some times I give up, pure and simple, we play games with maps and card board, we are as a collective war-gamers, simple, that is our hobby, to claim to be anything else is just bollox.
For those who ASL is a way of life, well what ever rocks your world, thankfully I have more in mine than that to worry about if I can be classed as an ASLer, if that is a bad thing so be it, count me out of the ASL scene if it is so important to have to label yourself such.
