Catmint

The name “Catmint” was originally chosen as a sound-alike or phonetic variation of “Yagton,” first used by Fern. After she changed her username to Fern, the name was passed down to aka, and eventually to other users as well. The earliest known use of the name dates back to June 4, 2024. It is also jokingly referred to as “The Catmint Curse.”

The name Catmint was, according to Fern, a pun based on a portmanteau of "cat" and "admin" as well as the actual plant known as "catmint."

Lemuria is the current bearer of this name.

The Catmint Curse

The Catmint curse is a phenomenon in the OWOT Discord that results in a user's nickname being set to "catmint". Fern was the first person to bear the name. She later abandoned the name, and Akatas adopted the name. In a poll on May 22, 2025, lasting 24 hours, 10 people unanimously voted for Lemuria to inherit the catmint curse, and as a result, his nickname was changed to catmint.

The Catmint Curse was originally named such by Name who realized that aka was a prolific force in the #solve channel of the discord during the time in which she was Catmint.
