Sammich
Sammich, also known as the_sandwich, is a YWOT veteran, former OWOT admin, and the creator of the chatroom Wokecat.
He was made admin by FP for being one of OWOT's original users, but for various reasons he was barely active on the site, prompting many users to see his adminship as a sign of nepotism. In May of 2025, Sammich was formally demoted for saying a racial slur while protesting Tatejo's ban from the OWOT Discord(which was also for racism).
Sammich is controversial for being edgy. He is against censorship and disagrees with FP and Fern's efforts to moderate offensive content on both OWOT and its Discord server.
In modern YWOT, he is most remembered for having used a script to write "sammich was here" on all four-lettered worlds.
On OWOT
Sammich created his own OWOT beta following the closure of Andrew Badr's original OWOT in 2015. Sammich's beta was part of a chain of attempted OWOT revivals, succeeding JerryStarField's beta and preceding the current site by FP.
Sammich would later be brought on as a developer for FP's OWOT, but for some reason he couldn't be added to the repository. However he was still made a moderator on the site and an admin on the Discord, and would keep these roles until 2025.
"funny story actually
They asked me if i wanted to be a developer for owot and i said yes, then they made me admin on the discord
but they couldn't figure out how to add me on the repo i guess?
so then they just gave up?
and here we are"

Sammich was the least active staff member by a long stretch. He barely used OWOT at all, having only visiting chat on two occasions, and only sending 15 messages on Discord before 2025.
Discord drama
On May 22nd, 2025, Sammich and AJLStick took to the Discord in order to protest the ban of fellow Wokecat user Tatejo, who was under fire for a variety of racist statements(and for potentially scheming to take down OWOT). They saw the suppression of racist jokes as a form of censorship, with Sammich lamenting that OWOT has lost the "cool and edgy and punk rock vibes" that it ought to have as a non mainstream site, and that it used to have before FP and Fern started implementing stricter moderation.
Sammich made a series of incendiary remarks on that day, saying a racial slur several times and purposefully misgendering Fern, a trans admin on the Discord. He took the whole situation lightheartedly and reminded everyone that he was simply ragebaiting.
FP would quietly ban Sammich soon after.
However he still retained moderator status on his OWOT account "the_sandwich," and would continue to have it until FP formally demoted him on August 25th, 2025. It is likely that FP simply forgot about this account and did not bother to demote it until "the_sandwich" randomly appeared in chat.
Sammich would return to the Discord on October 5th, 2025 after negotiating with FP in DMs.
Wokecat
He created the site wokecat.com, on which he is present constantly due to having no other responsibilities to take care of.
Wokecat is known for an edgy atmosphere similar to OWOT's chat. Moderation is lax and Sammich has stated that he only bans people for spamming.
sammich is not a bad person - he's just got different ideals for his website — FP
Wokecat is inhabited in large part by YWOT users, including figures such as Mr.Guy(Nihilum), JA and Kevin who have been around since the early 2010s.
The idea for Wokecat originated from an YWOT IRC named /~ycentral, which was created in 201? as a way to connect prominent community members outside of the canvas.
Wokecat has a main channel along with several smaller rooms. It enables users to upload gifs, and to customize the color, size and font of their usernames/messages. Certain words are automatically replaced whenever they are sent in chat(Ex. "discord" --> "dicksword," "sammich" --> "1984").
PinkiePie would later create a clone of Wokecat named Sleepycat, which largely catered to OWOT users and did not keep a permanent log of its messages. Sleepycat abruptly closed down in 2025, causing some of its users, such as Tatejo, to migrate to Wokecat.
On YWOT
"I first met sammich on ywot and i was his enemy. But then we became good friends
Before the_sandwich he had another name"
— InfraRaven talking about Sammich in chat
In modern day YWOT, Sammich is primarily remembered for using a script to write "sammich was here" on every four lettered world. According to Sammich, the script signed roughly 500,000 worlds and took around 30 minutes. Mr.Guy would later follow in his footsteps by sigining "mr.guy was here" on those same worlds.
Sammich's YWOT userpage is /~the_sandwich/the_sandwich. It used to be named "/the_sandwich," though it was moved to a subpage of /~the_sandwich after a 2013 update which made it so that users created worlds under the "/~[username]" format, rather than claiming regular worlds like in OWOT. Sammich's world contains a list of interesting worlds, scripts and users from early 2010s YWOT.
In the early 2010s Sammich was an influential member of the YWOT community, being friends with InfraRaven, Kevin, JerryStarField and other users who would go on to become founding members of OWOT.
