I don't really land squarely in any of these.
Estimated shipping time: 2-4 weeks.Neither do I, though the ones I'm most similiar to are Pro Gamer, Rec Gamer, and Retro Gamer... I have however engaged in minor to major Fanboi tendencies in the past... which aren't completely gone.
On closer examination, I also have some slight Pirate tendencies.

Fantastic Supreme Überkaiser Emperor Folt of The Infinity and Beyond" ... "The First"!Rec = Recreational, i.e. "casual" gamer. Truth be told, I hate all these different labels for different kinds of gamers. While there certainly are different demographics and target audiences within the gaming community, having standardized labels like "casual" and "hardcore" just promotes an elitist "us vs. them" mentality and makes a lot of people angry over nothing.
Somehow you know that the time is right.Guys stop taking this so seriously. It was probably by some chan-dwelling dude as a little joke, so course it's going to seem narrow-minded inaccurate and such. That's part of the humor.
Yeah, I have no idea why I even responded.
Hm... there must be some reason for '@$$clown' being the only one with green text.
Just for fun, I was a Fatlus until recently in that most of my actual playing time was spent on one Korean MMO or another.
I have been a Rec for my entire since a life outside of videogames is essential for surviving in today's society and I have never posted in /v/.
I now skew Retro since I rediscovered my love of Diablo clones (though I was never into the Diablo franchise itself) and there are no new 3A specimens until TL 2.
Probably for the same reasons as the rest of us!

I'm having a bit of difficulty understanding you... what's a "MAYRIO"?
I'm probably somewhere between Rec Gamer and Retro Gamer.
I'm kind of bothered by one of the "Fatlus" descriptors:
Um, while I do agree that turn-based games don't require very fast reflexes or quick thinking, they do require some sort of strategy or planning; it's still skill, but it's a different kind of skill.
Sure, many of these games tend to make the mistaken assumption that Level Grinding is the same as skill, but if you play JRPGs casually like I do, then you'll find that there are quite a few with a level curve just steep enough to give you a challenge without resorting to Forced Level-Grinding. The best examples I can think of are Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy VI, they are both easy enough to get through without level grinding and still give you a good challenge.
MAYRIO IS THE CORPARATE SHIT SAIN THAT FROM THE A NINTEDERP NMADDEN CAWW O DOOOOOOY.. in all seriousness between rec and pro, I am not very skilled i just play for fun, and I'm not in my 20's.
I say none of the above as my answer to the question above . A quite nice trick question I might say.
Always looking for a good MMORPG with a great community...I'd probably be somewhere inbetween rec and pro.
Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.
I can't find a single one I fit though I take elements from several.
I suppose I'm a Ronreclus or something?
