== Creations ==

Lemuria has created a variety of projects for the site; two worlds, a newspaper, and [[OWOT Maps and Charts|fictional maps]] featuring extensive references to OWOT users and his other interests. His longest-running project was ''[[Our World of News]]'', which ran from February 2024 to 2025. On the site, he created /asciinavy (a world with simple drawings of spaceships made using ASCII), and /galaxymap (a set of star names on a galaxy). The latter world was the WOTD for March 13, 2024. In November and December 2024, he created the [[OWOT Fanart#Uvias_Metro|Uvias Metro]], a fictional metro system with stations named after OWOT proper nouns. In June 2025, he created the [https://lemuria.ph/owot/starmap?ref=wiki.ourworldoftext.com OWOT Starmap], the successor to galaxymap, entirely abandoning the OWOT world-based format for a slippy map format similar to OpenStreetMap. <gallery heights="~~200~~" widths="~~200~~">

== Reconsideration period ==

After the end of the first ban, Lemuria was put in a reconsideration period. Originally meant to last 30 days, it was meant to see if Lemuria's behavior or personality had sufficiently changed over the past 75 days, and if the issues that led to his original ban in July remained. It lasted until November 22, due to the time commitment involved in reviewing all of Lemuria's messages throughout the month. Lemuria failed the period.

It lasted until November 22, due to the time commitment involved in reviewing all of Lemuria's messages throughout the month. Lemuria failed the period, and his account was restricted again. On November 29, 2025, Lemuria left the server on his own after he learned in [[Tatejo]]'s Discord server that his ban was going to be permanent. Fern had not yet written her final ruling, which meant that before this, Lemuria's account was in a state of "limbo".

=== "Port Elizabeth" controversy ===

Line 181:

Line 186:

So far, Lemuria has finished three signs; the first one was griefed and replaced with a sign saying "Gqeberha", the second one was erased; and the third one is a larger version of the second one that now coexists with a similarly-sized "Gqeberha" sign. In October 2025, he began construction on the fourth sign; significantly larger than the third one, which when finished, will display "Port Elizabeth" in a script font.

Lemuria's interest in the city continued through to October 2025, with similarly mounting community criticism. On November 20, 2025, a major argument broke out in the server again between Lemuria and multiple members, including Fern. Fern eventually ~~displayed highly agitated and emotional behavior~~, ~~and directed~~ Lemuria ~~in a blunt tone~~ to ~~cease discussion~~ of the ~~city~~ of Port Elizabeth, and ~~then~~ forcefully~~, without~~ Lemuria~~'s permission~~, ~~reset his nickname~~.

Lemuria's interest in the city continued through to October 2025, with similarly mounting community criticism. On November 20, 2025, a major argument broke out in the server again between Lemuria and multiple members, including Fern. In the argument, Lemuria tried to justify his actions by dehumanizing people, treating them like pawns or banks rather than people. Lemuria even stated that he wished he could erase his ability to feel guilt.

Fern eventually took the “Elizabeth” out of Lemuria’s nickname, stating that she is tired of Lemuria going out of his way to aggravate people on the server. Fern wrote that she was tired of Lemuria going out of his way to aggravate people on the server, and effectively banned further discussion of Port Elizabeth and the name change within the server. Lemuria, outraged by the name change, attempted to play the victim by arguing that Fern did not ask for permission to change his name, even though mods don’t necessarily need to ask permission. D9eoead explained that Lemuria has shown that he refuses to change his behavior himself, so Fern had to take it into her own hands and forcefully change the name. Lemuria became even more aggressive, stating that he was afraid he might “do something even worse” if the mods did not mute him.

Line 201:

Lemuria created a thread initially dedicated to Port Elizabeth, but later renamed it "a large amount of elizabeths". So far, the thread has no other users except Lemuria.

== Permanent ban ==

[[File:Lemuria rest in piss.png|center|thumb|Created by [[Guest-1052]]]]

On November 29th 2025, upon learning that he would be banned from the OWOT discord server, Lemuria left on his own volition, This would essentially mark the start of the permanent ban.

Lemuria failed the reconsideration period because he had not shown any remarkable change from before the first ban. He still baited to intentionally aggravate people, and he still didn’t care about others feelings. During the reconsideration period, his behavior became worse and worse as he cared less and less about trying to change his actions (if he even cared at all). In fact, when the 30 day mark passed, he went back to regular baiting tactics because he believed he was automatically absolved of all wrongdoing.

Currently, Lemuria is arguably at his lowest point yet, regularly posting diagrams about his relationship with Fern and “attention extraction”, such as a {{wpd|Sankey diagram}} of Fern's attention and a map of oil rigs in the {{wpd|North Sea}} recontextualized as a metaphor for "attention extraction rigs". During an argument with d9eoead on Tat’s server, Lemuria compared people to machines that could be used, saying that Fern was “defective, and in need of replacement.” He felt sad that his relationship with Fern did not give him the “desired outcome”, implying that he was never genuine in any of his conversations or discussions with her, and only wanted to use her as a source of attention. Strangely, he also kept referring to himself as “we”, and calling Fern and other users “colonies”. D9eoead confronted him about dehumanizing and objectifying people, but Lemuria retracted, saying that he wasn’t genuinely treating people like machines. He stated that he wasn’t only pretending to do so, trying to elicit outrage and distress from d9eoead as one last bait tactic before he left the community. This action shows that he has lost all care in attempting to change, and is fully embracing his selfish desire for attention. Either that, or he was pretending it was bait so he couldn’t be shamed for dehumanizing people. Either way, Lemuria has shown that he is a lost cause, unable to change or face accountability. After this, he has continued to discuss attention extraction on Tat’s server, with some users finding his desperation amusing.
