Lemuria
Lemuria, also known as Nora Elise Proctor, is a user who joined in November 2023. He is the creator of Our World of News. He found OWOT from spam comments on OpenStreetMap.
Etymology
His name, Lemuria, comes from Lemuria, a hypothetical continent proposed in 1864 by Philip Sclater theorized to have sunk beneath the Indian Ocean.
Nora Elise Proctor
In main chat and on discord, Lemuria has named himself "Nora Elise Proctor". Lemuria intentionally avoids any and all questions about the name changes and/or the character herself. Lemuria frequently threatens people that "Nora Elise Proctor" will use an M4 fully automatic rifle and shoot them to death. When questioned by d9 about the purpose of the "Nora Elise Proctor" character, Lemuria says that it's due to boredom.
On June 3, 2024, Lemuria added "Gallia" to the name, becoming "Nora Gallia Elise Proctor", in reference to an American violinist, Gallia Kastner, though later removed it after continued backlash against him and his continued mentions of Kastner within the Discord.
Controversy
Edit wars and "AOP"
An edit war started between d9eoead and Lemuria when Lemuria created an SCP parody article about Ziggy at Trash:AOP-1044 in March 2024.
Fearing a "Yellow Guy 2.0", d9eoead quicky blanked the article. Lemuria reverted this, and this looped over and over until d9eoead spammed the article with 100k bytes of Alejandro mpreg fart porn. Shortly afterwards, FP got involved, warned d9eoead and moved Lemuria's article to the Trash category. Lemuria reverted this a few times before stopping. Later, Lemuria created a copy of the article outside of the Trash category, which d9eoead soon discovered and moved back into the Trash category. Lemuria later deleted the copy article.
On September 9, 2024, Lemuria and d9eoead briefly fought an edit war over a section regarding Lemuria's behavior on Twitch. FP eventually ruled on Discord that the section could be included, while explicitly affirming Lemuria's right to report on d9eoead's controversial actions.
Obsessions
Lemuria has been criticized for his continued frequent mentions of indie musicians, especially women. Most of these mentions are of three people, who are Ruth Acuff, Emily Anderson, and Gallia Kastner.
“Attention Extraction”, Twitch Streamers, and Baiting
Lemuria frequently talks about “attention extraction” and often uses baiting tactics on the OWOT discord server to give him more attention. Examples include repeatedly using the number “423” in his messages, and often blabbering about the previously mentioned female indie musicians. He often talks about the twitch streamers he “extracts attention” from, and has shown a hate towards the moderators of the streams, whom he refers to as the “Cooked Fish Group”. His “attention extraction” can be seen as detrimental to his mental health, as he goes into fits of rage or sadness whenever twitch streams are postponed or interrupted, and has even wished death on the twitch moderators. He has been told multiple times to stop talking about the “Cooked Fish Group” and his “attention extraction”, but continues to do so.
Lemuria also views his desire for attention as being above other people’s lives. When the maternal grandmother of a twitch streamer he watches dies, he is only worried about how it will interfere with his “attention extraction”.
