The '''Asian Cup 2008''' or '''Asian Cup''' was an international team-based competition held on October 1st, 2008<ref>[https://upsb-v3.spin-archive.org/topic/10949 UPSB V3 Thread announcing the Asian Cup]</ref>. It featured 8 participating communities, with the condition that all the spinners in a community's team had to be considered racially Asian to take part. In this way it became the first competition that chose to exclude spinners based on race, rather than the community they were in.

It was later revived in part as the [[Asian Tournament 2013]].

==History==
The Asian cup was arranged in September 2008, with the initial deadline for community lineups being the 1st Oct 2008. Communities situated in Asia took part such as [[TWPS]], [[JEB]] and [[PDS]] to name a few, but curiously [[UPSB]] was also allowed to sign up. The competition was explicitly for spinners from Asia, which resulted in UPSB only being able to choose racially Asian spinners for their lineup such as [[Minwoo]] from [[GPC]] and [[ChauTran]], with non-asian spinners such as [[Eriror]] being excluded. However, Eriror was allowed to judge the competition regardless.

This raised a little concern over the fact that it could be considered racist. When replying to concerns that non-Asians could not join the international event that would accept spinners from the United States and Germany, [[Zombo]] stated ''"that's like saying humans should be able to compete in a horse race"''. Ultimately the concerns were dismissed and UPSB entered with an entirely Asian roster.

The competition was presumably held by the Hong Kong community given the choice of web hosting provider<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20081213100957/http://psac2008.freebbs.hk/index.php Asian Cup 2008 website]</ref>.

Consisting only of two rounds, the event was relatively short, with [[KPSA]] coming first place and UPSB 2nd. The first round consisted of individual videos, while the second round was collaboration videos between all the individual spinners from a given community team.

==Criteria==
The competition ranked spinning on 5 criteria that allocated different percentages of points towards the final score<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20081013233733/http://psac2008.freebbs.hk/thread-900-1-1.html Archived Asian Cup 2008 Rules Thread]</ref>:
* Smoothness (15%)
* Style (15%)
* Overall structure/organization of the combo, difficulty and variety (25%)
* Creativity (20%)
* Appeal/beauty/impressiveness (25%)

For the second collaboration round, the previous criteria were squashed to 70% of the score and three more criteria were added:
*Synchronicity to music (10%)
*Editing (10%)
*Collab creativity(10%)

Pentel Keityo Sign Pen

2021-02-09T22:40:27Z

Geronimoste:

'''Keityo Sign Pen''', better known as '''KT''' for short is a double sided marker produced by [[Pentel]]. The use of this pen was very prominent in the early [[Pen Modding]] community due to its usage in making the iconic [[Dr. KT]].

The Keityo has a distinctive cap that appears in other markers by Pentel such as the [[Pentel ColorTwin|Color Twin]] and [[Pentel Watercolor|Watercolor]]. The major difference of the Keityo compared to similar pens is that it has a glossy silver barrel that is unique to the pen.

It has since become discontinued.

[[File:{{#setmainimage:Color Twin.jpg}}|thumb|200px|A salmon-pink Color Twin]]The '''ColorTwin''' is a double sided marker made by [[Pentel]]. It is most known for its use in the world of [[Dr. KT]] mods as a direct substitute for the [[Keityo]] made by the same company. It differs in that it has a black barrel and a wide variety of colored large caps.

All of its parts aside from the inktube have been utilized in various mods.

Geronimoste:

'''Signo''' is a non-retractable gel pen produced by [[Uni-Ball]]. It is widely used for its metal tip. There are also variations to it such as '''signo dx''' and '''signo broad''' which have other usable parts, like the grips with both, or the cap with the signo broad.

Mods that use it are [[Waterfall]], [[Eban G3]], [[Motsuun pen]], and many more.

The '''Dr. KT''' is a heavy mod created by [[Ryo]]. It is notable for being one of the first heavy mods in a time where light mods were the norm.

Retrospectively it was considered a leap ahead in modding technology at the time, as it had vastly more momentum than prior mods.

==Construction==
===Parts needed===
* 2x [[Keityo Sign Pen]] (barrel + caps)
* 3x [[Sailor]] (grips in colors silver, red and blue)
* 2x [[Dr. Grip Shaker]] (tips)

'''Text tutorial'''
# Completely disassemble one Keityo pen, double cap it with the large black cap (discard small cap).
# Take grey Sailor grip, cut off 2 rings from the thinnest side, discard. Then, cut the remaining of the Sailor into 4 equal 2 ring sections.
#(Start cutting from the thin end) Off of the red and blue Sailors, cut off 3 rings, and then 2 rings.
# Put on caps in this order; 3 rings>2 rings (grey)> 2 rings> 2 rings (grey)> 8 rings. Repeat for other cap
# Put Dr. Grip tips into the grips.

Pen Modding Terminology

2021-01-16T18:24:46Z

Geronimoste: /* Double Sided */

[[Pen Modding]] has a field of specific terminology that is used to describe or abbreviate certain elements and processes. This page aims to provide a glossary for the most common terms.

==Terms==
===Pen Parts===
====Barrel====
:Middle section of a pen. Opaque or transparent and usually made of plastic, but rarely metal. Used as the main contributor of length to a mod.
====Cap====
:Cover for the nib of the pen. Often plastic and transparent but sometimes metal, opaque or tinted translucent. Not found on retractable pens. Used to add length to mods.
====Cap Rubber====
:A piece of rubber-like material placed into the cap to catch the nib of the pen and prevent ink from escaping. Used in some rarer mods.
====Grip====
:A piece of soft material, usually rubber, for the writer to hold onto. Used to provide a surface with enough friction for [[Wiper|wipers]] or for appearance.
====Inktube====
:The tube inside a pen containing the ink and usually the ball point used to write with. Used in writing mods, with some wider gel inktubes used as connectors in mods like the [[F1r3fly G3]].
====O-Ring====
:Small rubber or silicone rings that can be found in hardware stores or on [[Zebra Tect]]. Used as a substitute for small grip segments.
====Ring====
:Metal or plastic ring found on some pens like [[Airfit]]. Used for mod appearance.
====Tip====
:The front section of the pen used to hold the nib in place. Made of plastic or metal, and often removable by unscrewing. Used to add weight to or extend the length of mods.

===Pen Characteristics===
====COG====
:'''Center Of Gravity''', the portion of the pen that it can balance on. Often used to describe if the mod is balanced towards the COP or not.
====COP====
:'''Center Of Pen''', the middle of the pen decided by its Length.
====Retractable====
:A writable pen that has an inktube that retracts into the body/tip when not in use.
====Style====
:Used to differentiate between different categories of mods, usually based on sidedness.
=====Single Sided=====
:A pen that appears to have a front and an end, often but not always with one cap. Examples include the [[SEVEN G3]], [[RSVP MX]] and [[Minwoo Mod]].
=====Double Sided=====
:A pen that doesn't have a definitive front and end. Usually symmetrical. Examples include the [[Buster CYL]], [[Metallic Comssa]] and [[SpinPro]].

====Writable====
:A pen or mechanical pencil that has a working inktube or lead mechanism to write with.

===Pen Modding Techniques===
====Barrel Cutting====
:{{See also|Barrel cut}}
:Cutting pen barrels into segments for modding. Commonly used for [[Ivan Mod]].
====Grip Cutting====
:{{See also|Grip cut}}
:Cutting grips into segments to place onto mods. Also refers to cutting pieces out of grips to make a design.
====Inserts====
:A rolled piece of paper placed inside transparent barrels or caps. Usually with a printed design on. Used for aesthetics.
