Title: All Hail The Great Toady
Post by: LoneTophat on October 13, 2011, 05:59:00 pm
This is a thread to hail our Lord and Master, ToadyOne, as the supreme commander of his own nerdling army. Us. <3
Please sign your name below so Toady knows who's enlisted in his mighty nerd army o:
All hail our God, ToadyOne, also known as Armok, the Destroyer of Worlds.

I like how just yesterday the OP made a thread saying Toady needs to hire a dev team to get more work done and now he's doing the whole faux-worship thing.

I actually consider myself to be the highest power here, and therefore hail no one. Some might argue that I have not been here long enough to actually make any real  impact. But rest assured, without me, this place would crumble into ruin.

Also, I forsakened(forsoke? forsaked?)Armok and his ways long ago, so i dearly hope he and Toady are not one and the same.

It's forsook, according to the internet.

If you're talking about the poster, then no, Toady is not 'Armok'

Personally, I believe that Armok is the player. After all, he's the god of blood, how many of us have sacrificed cats ad infinitum in the name of science?

This topic is now a theological discussion about who is Armok.
Title: Re: All Hail The Great Toady
Post by: Urist Imiknorris on October 13, 2011, 10:29:55 pm
Definitely the player. After all, the game's title is Slaves to Armok: God of Blood: Chapter II: Dwarf Fortress, and the dwarves are our idiot slaves whose blood we spill en masse for no particular reason.

Well this is embarrassing. And also a tad confusing, considering bloodshed has normally been something I've tried to avoid. Something must be done about this...





Aha, i got it! I didn't forsake Armok himself(or...myself). But rather, the idea of him.

I forsook the Armokist(Armokian?) ideals/attitude. This solution works perfectly, as it turns it into more of a symbolic thing, and makes me look less totally retarded.

You could always go for being literally a god of blood, as opposed to all those other 'Blood Gods' who are really gods of bloodshed.
The difference is like the difference between a god of food and a god of pie fights.

Being composed purely of blood, dwarves shed blood in his name, which their supreme deity absorbs into his body to become bigger and more powerful.  It makes so much sense.

If Armok is fueled by the blood of Dwarves, then obviously the deadliest animals on the planet (carp, elephants and badgers) must be avatars of Armok himself. They are here to shed blood in his name. Which, in turn, means that Armok himself must appear as a 200-foot-tall humanoid badger with the head of a carp and the tusks of an elephant, wearing a suit of armor composed entirely of kitten bones and the tears of children.

That, or it turns out Armok is an Elf.

Misspelled that last one on the first try, but somehow the misspelling was appropriate as well, so it gets to live.
