Are you heretics done with your theological nonsense ? Armok cannot be the player anyway. For players do not utterly control everything that is in DF, and yet Armok can.

Else there would be no Fun.

[Egan_BW]

Armok is the state of having a working arm. Dwarves worship him as a god of blood because you need an arm to shape 'blood' (Hematite), you need an arm to spill blood, and  if you don't have an arm then you'll be losing blood very quickly.

Does the game ever specify Armok's gender?

[Egan_BW]

Armok's not in the game. just the title and our hearts.

[Henny]

The spirit of Armok rests within every dwarf, like a splinter in their mind, driving them mad. In the darkness of the dwarven world, He is their guiding light - and they will chase that light into hell or to the very edges of the world if it comes to it.

[Moron]

Armok is the RNG, surely?

[TheBiggerFish]

No, Armok is not in the world.
But then again, he is.
Armok is the metaconceptualization of all !!FUN!!, given form and shape by the will of the players of a game in an entirely different world.*
These players are quite often sadists.

Yes they can, with help of Notepad and Co.

You're just unwilling to accept that you are responsible for your dwarfes suffering and death, as it would be the case with you being Armok.

Oh I am responsible for their suffering... but sometimes the game hates me, as in an early forgotten beast or siege, or a webbing forgotten beast. That is Armok.

PRAISE BE TO ARMOK.

We may create the worlds, but we do so by Toady's rules (code). Toady is Armok?

[Loud Whispers]

ARMOK IS YOU, ARMOK IS ME, ARMOK IS WE
