Although this was a multiple choice poll, and you could have provided several responses, the majority of the 37 respondents choose not to.

Next up: 'What kills your characters the most?'. This is a bit more Angband specific - feel free to choose the closest approximation from your favourite roguelike, or select the other category and explain in the comments section.
