Re: [Bob Dobbington] darwin wins, flawless victory

Since there's no consensus ITT on whether or not to revert this, I'm leaving it. Any trialmin, full admin, or headmin is higher ranked than I am and can remove the ban, but then you're the one responsible for signing off on nonantag welderbombing.

See, it seems unlikely that you don't know each other OOC, since you were both banned from Yog two days ago for pretty much exactly this. Since you lied in your appeal, it's denied.

Re: So to make Kudzu you need to get weed level6 and mutagen

Sugar won't cause any new plants to grow, it just ups weed and pest levels by a random amount. It does this no matter what size the dose is, so use one unit. Once weed level is 6 or higher, dosing the tray with 5u of mutagen can randomly cause a weed mutation (if weed is below this threshold, you'll...
