* [[Catmint curse|catmint]]

'''Lemuria''', also known as '''Nora Elise Proctor''', is a former user who joined in November 2023. He discovered the website through [[Polonez]], who left spam comments on {{Wikipedia|OpenStreetMap}}, that he then followed. His visit was brief; he did not start using the website in earnest until February 2024. That month, he started [[Our World of News]], a now-defunct newspaper for the website that ran until February 2025.

Starting around June 2024, Lemuria began to attract controversy for his behavior on, and philosophy towards Twitch, alongside other behaviors perceived as "attention-seeking". In July 2025, Lemuria received an initial 75-day ban with a 30-day reconsideration period pursuant to the ruling of [[Lemuria v. Concerned Parties]], which also consituted a vacation. In November 2025, he failed the reconsideration period and was banned from the server again.

His name, Lemuria, comes from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemuria Lemuria], a hypothetical continent proposed in 1864 by Philip Sclater theorized to have sunk beneath the Indian Ocean.

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. For a brief period of time in March 2024, Lemuria frequently threatened people that "Nora Elise Proctor" would 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, [https://galliakastnerviolin.com Gallia Kastner], though later removed it after continued backlash against him and his continued mentions of Kastner within the Discord.

On May 21, 2025, 10 people unanimously voted to pass down the [[Catmint]] curse to Lemuria, leading to his nickname being changed to catmint. He later added "(Lemuria)" in parentheses to the nickname. During his 75-day ban from the server, he prefixed the name with "[On Vacation]", which Fern removed for him at the end.

Around October 23, 2025, Lemuria changed his Discord nickname to "port and starboard elizabeth", referencing [[#"Port_Elizabeth"_controversy|his obsession with the city of Port Elizabeth]]. It is also a pun, playing on the names for the two sides of a ship, port and starboard. On November 20, after a major argument over the name of the city, Fern illegitimately reset Lemuria's nickname without his permission, forcing him to return to his old "Nora Elise Proctor" nickname.

According to [[d9eoead]], Lemuria allegedly shows several symptoms of Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD), as he "heavily desires attention, puts his needs above others, lacks empathy, and cannot handle criticism." In fact, he has only been diagnosed with autism and is actively seeking out mental health resources, and has done so since August 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 [https://totaldrama.fandom.com/wiki/Alejandro 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.

There is currently a third edit war between Lemuria and d9eoead between whether or not the "This section is written by an adversary of the subject" notes should be removed. d9eoead is in favor of their removal, stating that not only is he simply writing facts on the article (agreed upon by users and the mods, as well as having an extensive timeline of such on the OWOT server), he also doesn't outright hate Lemuria at all, simply saying that Lemuria's actions are immoral and thus d9eoead will go against him for such.

Lemuria countered d9eoead's points, saying that he still views d9eoead as an adversary and that he believes that his biased viewpoint towards d9eoead is more than enough to make all of the verified pieces of information automatically false, which is an incredibly fallacious viewpoint. d9eoead has stated several times that he does not want an edit war and that he's open to discussing this and talking it out.

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.

After several more confrontations, Lemuria became more distanced from OWOT, only posting cat pictures here in there. His usage on the OWOT discord server slowly rose, and so did his attention extraction, an example of which is his saying "Sodium, Lanthanum, Nickel"; which stands for “Na La Ni”, "Nalani".

In July 2024, Lemuria created Katherine Hessen, an OC. Hessen is a fictional politician, who according to his spam messages, "killed 450,000 kids in Galsi", a parody of earlier messages from anons that read "{{wpd|Kamala Harris|Kamala}} has killed X,000 kids in Gaza", and thus, a parallel version of {{Wpd|Gaza war|the real-world conflict between Israel and Hamas}}. Hessen and Harris both have the same initials. He also posted lore about Hessen;  

 

This spam would last several months, targeting not only chat but also the canvas, destroying art. In November of 2024, [[PC_KOSA]] (a discord user) exposed Lemuria on the OWOT server as the one behind the Katherine Hessen spam. When PC_KOSA first confronted him, Lemuria reacted surprisingly angry and repeatedly told him to "fuck off" and started wastebasket reacting all of his messages.

PC_KOSA then listed incredibly deep and verifiable evidence:

* Katherine Hessen spam happens when Lemuria is online (examples listed below, all within 2024):

* On May 3rd of 2024, Lemuria sent 2 messages about the word “Katherine” in the OWOT discord server.

* When the first Katherine Hessen spam occurred (July 29th, 2024) it happened 5 days after someone mentioned the city of Hessen to Lemuria.

* Lemuria’s and the spammer’s writing style is also very similar.

* Lemuria was more vocal about the spam than anyone, which is strange because when other spam happened, he wasn't as vocal. This is likely him attempting to create discussion of the Katherine Hessen spam, in turn giving him attention through the alternate identity.

After this evidence was shown on the OWOT server, Lemuria began to spam cat pictures in an attempt to change the topic and push the messages away from sight. Lemuria also was very aggressive and snappy, pressuring PC_KOSA to delete the messages and that he should only discuss the spammer unless he has Lemuria’s permission. Lemuria has reacted this way sparsely towards other things, but he has never spammed pictures in response to something other than this one instance.

On June 5th of 2025, d9eoead confronted Lemuria about him being the Katherine Hessen spammer. In response to this, Lemuria became snappy, aggressive, and repeatedly tried to change the topic and push the blame away from himself. Using the evidence that PC_KOSA has given, d9eoead has contacted the moderators about Lemuria being the Katherine Hessen spammer, saying that he must be punished with a ban from the OWOT server.

Lemuria continued to officially deny authorship of Hessen, until October 4, 2025, when he issued a confession and apology in the OWOT Discord server.

Notice of Authorship Confession: I was the Katherine Hessen spammer.

I, Lemuria, officially confess to being the author of Katherine Hessen, and the responsible party behind all the instances of Katherine Hessen spam. For the uninitiated, this spam took place around June 2025. This was one of the major actions that led to Fern issuing me a 75-day ban in *Lemuria v. Concerned Parties*. This mental health break and ban has helped me see the errors of my past actions.

I have continued to develop Hessen and the universe she lives in, privately.

I decided today to correct the record and to give up the fight; since timings and evidence line up against me pretty well and have for months.

I apologize for the harm done to the canvas and to the chat by my reprehensible actions.

On July 10, 2025, [[Fern]] invited [[d9eoead]] to begin arbitration against Lemuria for his various actions over the past year, in OWOT's first and only ''ad hoc'' arbitration case. After seven days of deliberation, Fern issued Lemuria a 75-day ban from the server, which lasted until September 30, 2025. This was Lemuria's first period of major inactivity; though he remained sporadically active on the OWOT website and wiki during the period. He also framed the ban as a "mental health break" and "vacation", due to not having to fight endless dramas for those 75 days.

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, 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".

During the course of his 75-day ban (or "vacation" from OWOT), Lemuria developed a keen interest in the {{wpd|South Africa}}n city of {{wpd|Port Elizabeth}}, renamed "Gqeberha" in 2021. D9eoead originally did not consider this interest bait, but by mid-October, Lemuria had began to use the city as bait, sending the name "Port Elizabeth" in chat and canvas unprompted without context or correlation to ongoing conversations; consistent with his prior baiting behaviors.

Lemuria feels extreme disdain towards Port Elizabeth's name change to Gqeberha, believing that "Elizabeth" is a "beautiful name" that must be preserved on the map. D9eoead and other users argued that the name "Port Elizabeth" was a remnant of imperialism and {{wpd|apartheid}} that should be erased, but Lemuria disagreed with this, believing the name change to be a completely pointless and ineffective measure. Lemuria further argued that the name could be separated from its imperialist roots, but Fern and d9eoead believed otherwise, the latter stating that it is necessary to abandon the name in the effort to completely erase imperialism and colonialism.

At the end of the day Lemuria reminded the community that he was only invested in the Gqeberha/Port Elizabeth drama as a result of his love for female names. He stated that he had no objections to other, similarly motivated name changes in South Africa.

This behavior had d9eoead worried, as he believed it was a sign that he did not change much during his ban. d9eoead pointed out similarities to pre-ban controversies, namely when Lemuria would put his interests above the beliefs or even livelihoods of other people. d9eoead pointed out that he did not care that much about other name changes in South Africa, stating that he disregarded the name's imperialist roots and the need to recognize African communities all in an attempt to justify his continued usage of the name "Port Elizabeth".
