Armorsmith

Armorsmith is a significant shitposter and lagfag on 2b2t. He is the leader of Armorsmith's Followers, a religious "cult" movement he made where he declared himself a "god" on 2b2t. He became known for building lag machines on the server. He also reached the end world border corner by elytra packet flying, lagging the server in the process. Armorsmith is known to be active in every possible field of playing 2b2t, from griefing, to building, to spamming, to shitposting, and even assisting YouTubers. Many of his actions receive criticism, and sometimes hate. However, they are also often responsible for wide changes that impact or inspire different players on the server.

History
Armorsmith joined 2b2t in June 2016. He wasn't active for almost a year, due to the long queue and made wooden huts. He re-joined in the middle of 2017 with the simple goal of making everyone triggered and calling attention to himself. And so he did, by building lag machines. His first lag machine was called "The Valley of Signs", due to the many signs placed due to AutoSign. The lag machine was later destroyed. He went on to build a second one, Carolina. This lag machine used a method by 2F4U and it was built in times when Hausemaster didn't care much about these builds. Armorsmith would use this lag machine for months, making him hated by almost every player on 2b2t as it would crash the server and bring TPS down to 0.5 and even less.

When his lag machine got deleted by Hause, Armorsmith decided to become the first player to ever see the world border at the End, and so he went on a journey that lasted an entire week. When he arrived there, he built a base at the end world border corner - Armorland. Armorsmith would later work on other lag machines and other bases, collecting rare items such as the signs left by ElRichMC and griefing bases and public infrastructure such as highways and map art outposts (the maps were used to create his two museums). One of the highways he griefed was the Old Spawn Road. It is on its beginning that he made a large obsidian structure called the Wrath of Armorsmith, referencing Wrath Outpost. In the past, his posts were often gilded by himself on the 2b2t subreddit. He is the first player to establish a cult of personality on 2b2t around himself, inspiring others such as Lowdown69 and Solour68.

Cult Foundation
Armorsmith would declare himself as a "god", and create a meme "cult" group with hundreds of members, some of which grew to become significant players of the 2b2t community, such as HaxxorElite, Retronaut, quj, Mc_Ren, RusherFag and many others. The group is based on worshipping him as a god and spreading his trademark hammer and sickle logo. This group would build a lot of bases for Armorsmith, and was responsible for some unique creations such as the first Obsidian y256 big sky logos, FPS lagging (early form of chunk banning), building bases such as the MOTD palace, Space 2k2k, The Valley of Armorsmith, and other locations. One of the most famous members of the group is the YouTuber Big Man Tyrone who has over 500,000 subscribers and makes regular propaganda content for Armorsmith. Their Discord server is one of the largest on the entire server with thousands of members. As a group leader, Armorsmith was responsible for many community events and changes. He was the first person to go against the 6th Incursion and heavily damaged its wall with his group, making it unable to achieve its original goal. He was also the mastermind behind attacking ThebesandSound's trench crew in the 7th Incursion preventing the lava wall from being constructed. Some of his failed projects, such as the Facepunch Republic's revival and the "8th Incursion", caused the creation of the Facepunch Federation and the Infinity Incursion, respectively. Armorsmith's Followers is also responsible for the Anti Bedrock Society which deleted the last Bedrock blocks at the Bedrock comet at Ziggy Town after winning the Battle Of Ziggy Town against the Klansmen (which also attempted to destroy the comet at the time) along with Team WAO. That battle was one of the largest and longest fights in the history of the server. Armorsmith was personally responsible for the re-griefing of The Drain in 2020. During his time at the base, Armorsmith defeated kingoros in a duel, questioning his claim to fame as "PvP god".

His actions triggered a lot of the 2b2t older community players, such as Sato86 who made several videos on his YouTube channel which were about mocking Armorsmith, and FitMC who tends to censor his name in many of his videos despite mentioning his projects on the server (Because of Armorsmith's fight against Fit on the 6th Incursion in which he lost).

YouTube Content
Armorsmith is actively working on making 2b2t go viral on YouTube. He works together with Big Man Tyrone to produce meme videos about the server. He is also known among many Israeli players, as he was the one who brought 2b2t to Israel, by working with Israeli content creators TopStrix (113,000 Subscribers), Tell0 (50,000 Subscribers), and Gal Cohen (122,000 Subscribers). Some of them made entire playlists on the server under his creative assistance, causing queue numbers to increase. He is also indirectly responsible for making 2b2t go viral in Russia, thanks to Russian-Israelis who watched videos he made and shared them with Russian YouTubers. His actions probably caused the server's queue to get as big as it is now in addition to other large content creators such as SalC1 and FitMC.
