'''Fen Spinner''' is an English-speaking [[Pen Spinning Community|pen spinning community]] created on July 30th, 2020 by [[Varoza]]. After frequent disagreements with staff from [[The Workshop]] leading up to September that year, Fen Spinner became public and the membership greatly increased, claiming to be a new community separate from those typically associated with [[UPSB]]. The community hub is primarily a public Discord server with a secondary website, [[Fen Spinner Wiki]]. The community participated in SpinFest 2021 and 2023, as well as the [[Pen Spinning World Cup 2022]], which it won.<br />
==History==<br />
Fen Spinner was established as a Discord server on 30 July 2020 to serve as a social hub for several members of the private team OPSD to interact with non-members. Initially characterized by minimal moderation and informal structure, the server functioned primarily as a casual hangout space.<br />
<br />
Prior to 11 September 2020, a series of long-standing tensions began to reshape the server’s direction. Prior disagreements had emerged between members of Fen Spinner and the administration of The Workshop, with criticisms directed at the latter’s approach to moderation. Concerns included perceived heavy-handed enforcement, lack of responsiveness to community feedback, and inconsistent application of rules. Although these critiques were largely dismissed at the time, they contributed to the eventual dissolution of The Workshop.<br />
<br />
The name "Fen Spinner" comes from the Fennec Fox<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fennec_fox Wikipedia article on Fennec Foxes]</ref>, the mascot animal of the community. The animal is sometimes referred to as a "Fen" and sounded similar to "Pen", so the community name was chosen as a pun.<br />
===Split from The Workshop===<br />
[[File:Fentember.jpg|thumb|200px|The September 11th 2020 call and the infamous "Fentember 11th" message]]On 11 September 2020, members of Fen Spinner initiated what became the largest voice call on The Workshop server, reaching the channel’s maximum capacity of 25 simultaneous users. Moderators declined invitations to participate. During the event, the #voice-text channel saw a surge in activity, with posts ranging from pen spinning discussions to unrelated content. Although memes and off-topic messages had appeared previously, the volume during this call was unprecedented.<br />
<br />
The administrator Coffeelucky requested that participants leave the channel and instead use a group chat call, which was limited to 10 users—less than half of those present. This suggestion was met with criticism, and the proposal later shifted to creating a new server entirely. During the call, concerns were raised about moderation practices, particularly the perception that enforcement disproportionately targeted specific individuals rather than applying consistent rules. A meme referencing the September 11 attacks was posted in relation to the event.<br />
<br />
The call continued into the early hours of 12 September. No immediate disciplinary actions were taken, but overnight, the administration issued bans, mutes, and warnings citing the generic reason of "Spam." Notably, Varoza was banned for seven days, and Zxntle was muted for 14 days. It took approximately two weeks for the community to uncover the specific reasons behind these actions. Many users criticized the vague and delayed explanations, which remained unclear until Varoza was unbanned.<br />
<br />
The administration later clarified that Zxntle had been muted for replying "bruh" to Coffeelucky, and that Varoza had been warned—not banned—for posting the offensive meme. The exact reason for Varoza’s ban remains unknown. Following the incident, moderator abc resigned. The administration alleged that abc had been harassed, though screenshots circulated showing abc engaging in personal attacks against other users. In the aftermath, several active members left The Workshop in protest. Some moderators, including DarKT, described the departing users as "troublemakers," despite one of them having previously been offered a moderator position.<br />
<br />
As a result of these events, a significant portion of the active English-speaking community migrated to Fen Spinner, which grew from approximately 10 members to several hundred.<br />
<br />
===SpinFest 2021===<br />
[[File:Fens1st.jpg|thumb|200px|Fen Spinner 1st Title screen]]In November 2020<ref>[https://twitter.com/Spinfest/status/1333090728273121280 Tweet announcing sign-ups for SpinFest 2021]</ref>, sign-ups for [[SpinFest 2021]] opened. Fen Spinner submitted to the draft and, after India's community applied late, made it into the lineup<ref>[https://twitter.com/Spinfest/status/1342137798065852416 Tweet showing Fen Spinner making it into SpinFest 2021]</ref>. Initial plans for a parody as the first video from Fen Spinner were quickly scrapped, with plans being drawn for a show of the community's ability. On April 12th 2021, after months of editing and filming, "Fen Spinner 1st" was released<ref>[https://twitter.com/Spinfest/status/1381843299435167745 Tweet of Fen Spinner 1st released to SpinFest]</ref> as the SpinFest submission, a surprise to detractors who claimed a troll CV would be submitted. Edited by Varoza, it featured extensive 3D graphics and special effects, and featured 11 spinners.<br />
<br />
===Further CVs and World Tournament 2021===<br />
A collaboration video was planned for a crossover with [[LSPSC]], but the project was suspended after LSPSC closed in July 2021. <br />
<br />
On July 30th 2021 a minicombo collaboration video "1 Year of Fen Spinner"<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QJPKzkpTmM 1 Year of Fen Spinner on YouTube]</ref> was released, with videos from many of the active Fen Spinner members.<br />
<br />
Fen Spinner expressed interest in joining the [[Pen Spinning World Tournament 2021]], but a decision by the [[Pen Spinning Board of Directors]] was made to lump the community in with [[The Workshop]] and those still identifying as [[UPSB]], with [[Padrace]] as manager and the community named as the '''English Speaking Pen-spinning Collective''' (ESPC). The rule itself currently only applies to Fen Spinner, and previous World Tournaments allowed new boards and boards split from other boards to sign up, famously Korean and German boards. Ultimately, a deal was made that allowed the combined English speaking community to enter more participants than defined in the rule book, with the following spinners entering A side from Fen Spinner:<ref>[https://wt21.worldps.org/participants/ WT21 Participants page on the website]</ref><br />
*[[Varoza]]<br />
*Pall<br />
*[[Allwars]]<br />
Pall came top 32, Allwars top 16 and Varoza top 8.<br />
<br />
In addition, '''Mervo''' entered World Tournament B side<ref>[https://wt21-b.worldps.org/participants/ WT21 B side Participants on the website]</ref> from Fen Spinner.<br />
<br />
===Spin Awards 2021===<br />
[[File:SpinAwards2021.JPG|thumb|200px|Spin Awards 2021 Branding]]<br />
With no members of the Spin Awards committee wishing to step up and run the event, Fen Spinner volunteered and ran Spin Awards 2021, using a complicated multiple choice voting system and a restyling of the event to look more professional. Among other changes, the event was restructured to have an individual representative and individual advisor from each community to handle fair voting, nominations and communicating the event with their own communities. <br />
<br />
Past Spin Awards had a limited set of representatives, typically limited to a friend group nature like the [[Pen Spinning Board of Directors]], and the list of award recipients was chosen by the event organizer, Coffeelucky, after some consultation. This made the past Spin Awards controversial as often individual candidates were missed in nominations and voting, with a heavy bias towards popular figures.<br />
<br />
The 2021 event also held voting in early 2022 in order to accurately receive combos later in the year from sources like the JapEn CV, which is typically released on Christmas day. Following this, the results compilation and editing process took until February 27th for the release of the awards, with some people such as Coffeelucky who had refused to assist the editing process complaining publicly about the internally communicated delays.<br />
<br />
All three award videos were released in February, with modding awards being published as an image result due to the editing workload not being assisted by any other Spin Awards representative:<br />
* [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0-lVu_WfGE Spinner of the Year 2021 | Spin Awards]<br />
* [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xA-c4uOTk0 Collab of the Year 2021 | Spin Awards]<br />
* [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJ5eC1VWQjg Spin Awards 2021 - Minor Awards]<br />
<br />
After the release of the videos, Fen Spinner announced stepping down from running Spin Awards, citing difficulties and political infighting bogging down the process of running the event. With no individuals willing to have Spin Awards handed off to them, the server was given to FPSB's Patchwork, and fell into disuse shortly after with the event no longer being held.<br />
<br />
===Leadership changes, World Cup 2022 and Pen Spinning Olympics 2022===<br />
In late 2021 a key change was [[Nine]] from [[UPSB]] joining Fen Spinner and soon making his way into the leadership of the community, with Allwars eventually departing the community for the second time. Originally Fen Spinner was to join with members of [[The Workshop]] to create a [[World Cup]] team, but the alliance was shaky and eventually broken by another Workshop conflict. The decision was made to form a new World Cup team consisting entirely of Fen Spinner members: '''Final Boss'''. Soon after these tensions resulted in Nine and Varoza being permanently banned from the workshop shortly after the tournament started.<br />
<br />
Final Boss came 3rd in the 1st round of the [[Pen Spinning World Cup 2022]], and defeated in all categories the strongest team from [[PSH]]: '''BlackMagic''' in round 2. In round 3, they defeated the rival team they originally split away from before the tournament: '''The Five Fingers of Sublime Pen''', captained by [[Padrace]]. Eventually, they would defeat [[JEB]]'s '''Eastern Reunion''' in the final round in all categories, winning the World Cup. The team's victories were particularly crushing as Final Boss won 14/15 round points, only losing a single battle in the event. The single lost battle was controversial, as Krogan was suggested to freestyle and troll his opponent on purpose while preparing for the next round, such was the confidence that Final Boss would win regardless.<br />
<br />
The Final Boss team members were as follows:<br />
*[[Varoza]]<br />
*[[Nine]]<br />
*Krogan (pseudonym of [[Barney]])<br />
*[[Vanilla]]<br />
*[[ZeGentleman]]<br />
*[[Saltient]] (substitute)<br />
ZeGentleman, the winner of the [[PSUK]] beginner's tournament, was notably only a 1 year [[prodigy]] spinner. He was swapped out for Saltient after round 2.<br />
<br />
In the [[Pen Spinning Olympics 2022]], Fen Spinner members [[Reboot]] and ZeGentleman entered the power category, with Reboot placing 1st and ZeGentleman 3rd. Barney entered the Wipers category as "KyorYuuNa", coming 4th place after not submitting for the final round.<br />
<br />
===Spinfest 2023, the rise of Spindys and fall of The Workshop===<br />
[[File:Fen2nd.JPG|thumb|200px|FEN 2ND Title screen]]<br />
The second official CV of the board, '''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RoyGJsclm_k FEN 2ND | Spinfest 2023]''' was released on June 25th, 2023, with a strong roster comprising almost all of the '''Final Boss''' team members and other Fen Spinner members. <br />
<br />
On its release the manager of the Spinfest Twitter account, Coffeelucky, shared it with a caption stating that the video had "Excessive bright flashing lights" advising people not to watch it. In fact, the CV had been screened to a member with photosensitive epilepsy beforehand and confirmed not to have any adverse effects before release.<br />
<br />
During this period the new community [[Spindys]] began to gain traction. Tilt, a Fen Spinner member for several years had started a YouTube channel that attracted many new spinners to the hobby. With the decline in activity in The Workshop, that same activity moved over to Spindys, with Fen Spinner and Spindys cooperating for the English-speaking pen spinning community. The Workshop would later close for good on October 20th, 2024.<br />
<br />
Fen Spinner would soon after close public invites due to the influx of new spinners brought by Spindys, trialling different methods of acquiring new members until settling on a vouch-based system.<br />
<br />
===World Tournament 2025 and Pen Spinning Olympics 2026===<br />
Several Fen Spinner members entered the [[Pen Spinning World Tournament 2025]], with their registered communities following their names:<br />
* [[Tilt]] (Spindys, Fen) - 3rd Place<br />
* [[Barney]] (Spindys) - Top 8<br />
* '''Levia''' (Independent) - Top 16<br />
* '''monsoon''' (PHPS) - Top 16<br />
* '''Apple''' (VNPS, Fen)<br />
Barney jokingly signed up under PSUKC, then Spindys under a fake name 'LimSeowon'.<br />
<br />
In the [[Pen Spinning Olympics 2026]], [[Barney]] would win in both the technical and infinity categories.<br />
<br />
==Wiki==<br />
Fen Spinner Wiki is a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki MediaWiki] site created as a replacement for the long-defunct [[UPSB Wiki]] in early 2021. Over time, this grew to become the largest pen spinning wiki project ever made, dwarfing the original UPSB projects and other competitors. In 2025 a new responsive frontend and homepage was added to the wiki as part of a wider rollout of updates to the site.<br />

<hr />
<div>'''Arounds''' are tricks that involve turning the pen in a disc motion around fingers, body parts or other objects. <br />
<br />
They are potentially the oldest pen spinning trick, and one of the most versatile and developed, ranging from the simple '''Thumbaround''' to the difficult '''Armaround''' or '''Pun Kan'''. Arounds are the most common tricks used as combo finishers.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The thumbaround is most likely the first trick to be discovered. The first names that we have records of are those from the special feature in Korokoro comic: big roll for TA and reverse roll for TA rev. Around 1997, Hideaki coined the term normal and adapted reverse from the Korokoro Comic name. Later,<br />
after creating the names for the spin number modifiers (half, single, single<br />
axel etc) he also used single as another name for the thumbaround. When<br />
Kam made Pentix, he started calling the trick 360 Degree Normal/Reverse,<br />
using normal and reverse like Hideaki. The name was then changed by either<br />
Kam or nhk_9 in late 2003, but the topic where that was discussed has been<br />
lost. In March 10th, 2004, in Pentrix, Kam listed the trick as thumbaround<br />
normal/reverse, which is the only name used in English nowadays.<br />
<br />
There are also many Chinese names. The first one comes from the Taiwanese sula_la. The tricks in his website are all named after “The Eighteen<br />
Palms”, which were popular at the time. In particular, 亢龍有悔 means the<br />
proud dragon repents. 亢龍有悔 is the most well known sula_la name, especially by older spinners. In Chinese common vocabulary, the trick is referred<br />
as 繞大拇指的 and in Taiwan and Mainland, 正轉 is another common name.<br />
However, among experienced spinners, just calling it TA is common.<br />
<br />
Although it’s a debate that is no longer active, the difference<br />
between an around and a spin was heavily discussed back at the beginning<br />
of the century. The first name in English notation for one of these fingerarounds was indexspin, by Kam in 2000. It’s uncertain who started this change, but as early as in 2003 we can see the name indexaround for this very same trick in penstudioz, although indexspin was still cited as the main name. <br />
<br />
In 2004, the Naming Committee released an article called “Around vs Spin” in<br />
which the difference between both trick names was established: around for<br />
1.0 revolutions and spin for 1.5 and higher. However, the actual first name for one of these tricks comes from Japan, as the Korokoro comic (1990) had ガンマンロール (gunman roll) as the name for the IA rev 12-T12. Hideaki then simplified the name to ガンマン (gunman) and extended its meaning to all fingeraround reverse.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==Variations==<br />
[[File:tiltdiagram.jpg|thumb|300px|Diagram of standard tilt, as in arounds, and reverse tilt, as in backarounds.]]<br />
Arounds are separated based on ''normal'' or ''reverse'' direction, plus their ''tilt'' of the disc the ends follow when the trick is performed. Standard tilt has the disc tilted towards the palm on the palmar side of the hand, and reverse tilt away from the palm on the palmar side. When arounds are performed palm down, their direction of rotation relative to the Earth is reversed, with clockwise becoming anti-clockwise and vice-versa.<br />
===Standard tilt===<br />
<br />
====Thumbaround====<br />
One of the oldest tricks. The pen is pushed with a finger to turn 360 degrees around the thumb before being caught. Originally performed between slots T12-T1 and pushed with the middle finger. The reverse is typically pushed with the curled index finger in the catch position of the original thumbaround.<br />
<br />
=====Extended Thumbaround=====<br />
A very common hybrid of a thumbaround and a bust notated as such: <br />
<br />
Thumbaround T2 ~ Bust 12. <br />
<br />
The trick transitions from a standard tilt to the reverse tilt and has a total of 1.5 rotations.<br />
<br />
The first name was given by kam in 2001: extended 360 degree normal, with 360 degree normal being the name that he had given for a thumbaround at the time. After the name change to thumbaround, he also changed the name of this trick. In Japanese, the term tornado was being used to describe fake double <ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFRoJ2RoaPI Hideaki, Tornado. 2001]</ref>, but then its meaning changed to describe this trick as well. Tornado is understood in English as cont ext TA.<br />
<br />
====Fake Double====<br />
A fake double consists of doing a thumbaround and then an indexaround, while on palm side during the whole motion of the trick.<br />
<br />
fake double = (PS) TA ~> Fl IA<br />
<br />
In English, Kam called the trick 720 degree normal in one of the first versions of Pentix. The origin of the name fake double is uncertain, but it is thought that it was given by Kam, as both fake double and fake triple appear in his recommended trick learning chart (2002), and fake triple is known to be his creation.<br />
<br />
In Japan, Hideaki initially called this trick トルネード (tornado) but<br />
nowadays, that means extended TA, both in English and Japanese. In 2001, Hideaki changed it to スプレッドダブル (spread double), which is the most common name nowadays,<br />
<br />
Although the definitions of ext TA, fake double and thumbindexaround are clear nowadays, the debate was intense back in the day. The UPSB v2 thread for those tricks was infamously long and convoluted, although it has been lost.<br />
<br />
<br />
====Fingerarounds====<br />
The pen turns 1.0 rotations around a finger as it's pushed by a finger closer to the pinky side. The fingers that the pen goes around are added as a prefix in the notation (e.g. indexaround 12-12, midringaround 34-23).<br />
<br />
In Japan, ガンマン (gunman) is used for fingeraround reverse. The<br />
modifier シメトリカル (symmetrical) is usually equivalent to inverse, but in<br />
this case it’s more similar to mirrored. A シメトリカルガンマン (symmetrical<br />
gunman) would be, for example, MA 12-12.<br />
<br />
In Korea, originally the (finger)arounds were written as 역수직 일회전 (perpendicular reverse one revolution) but in the 2005 NX lectures, the term<br />
154 Perpendicular arounds 휘감기 (winding) was created. This is used as a suffix together with finger prefixes, in a similar way as in English. We should notice that in Korean notation, the same term is used for both bust and indexaround, thus ignoring how angled the trajectory may be.<br />
<br />
<br />
=====Fingeraround 0.5=====<br />
The pen turns 0.5 rotations around a finger before it is stopped and caught by a finger closer to the thumb side. The notation may be confusing as the 0.5 suffix denotes the number of times the pen rotates around a finger while notation for something like midbak 1.5 denotes the number of topspin rotations.<br />
<br />
====Neosonic====<br />
An around 0.5 reverse into a thumb slot or the thumb flap.<br />
<br />
The name neosonic was coined by Kam as a reference to<br />
beginners failing to understand the movement of sonic and doing this trick<br />
instead. The original neosonic was a MA rev 23-Tf, which is the trick that<br />
Kam had described in Pentix and that Szeto had explained in Iluvitar some<br />
years prior, but since then, IA rev 12-Tf has become the de-facto neosonic<br />
when no slots are specified.<br />
<br />
====Spread====<br />
A spread is a palm up fingerless around that makes contact with the knuckles (i.e. backhand). Similar to how continuous fingerless busts are performed, spreads are performed with the pen hitting the knuckles in order to gain vertical height as opposed to fingerless arounds which only spin around them. It is due to the added verticality that some spinners incorrectly see spreads as aerials.<br />
<br />
The term spread originates in Japanese notation. There<br />
was some confusion regarding this trick name from various videos on youtube.<br />
Jamie Enns explained in the UPSB v3 how in Japan it’s used for two different<br />
kinds of tricks, and that since English notation has enough names for palm<br />
down fl arounds (bak, bust, fl around) we should only use it for the other<br />
type. In Korean, 스프레드 (Spread) has the same meaning as in English.<br />
<br />
====Fxxk====<br />
The fxxk is a palm up bust with significant aerial motion, with the pen rolling on the back of the fingers before being thrown to the air. The most common variation is middle fxxk.<br />
<br />
It’s from that finger positioning that the name comes from.<br />
<br />
====Armaround====<br />
The '''Armaround''' or '''Arm Around''', sometimes referred to by the Thai name '''Pun Kan''', is an around trick where the pen makes 1.0 rotations around the forearm. The trick is almost exclusively used in conjunction with other FL tricks or as a finisher in certain technical spinning combos.<br />
<br />
The arm around was invented by Pyralux and was originally called the 'arm bak', but it would be [[Spinnerpeem]] who popularized the trick and gave it the popular name Pun Kan (translated from Thai as 'arm coil') after performing it five times continuously in his final round combo of the [[Pen Spinning World Cup 2010]].<br />
<br />
====Powerpass====<br />
{{See also|Powerpass}}<br />
<br />
====Antigravity====<br />
<br />
====Rex Trick====<br />
It is a linkage comprising of a fingerless TA reverse followed by a small fingerless charge in the TF slot with a simultaneous palm side to palm down switch. Then, while palm down, the mod does a 0.5 spin and is caught in the same slot that the trick started. It can be done continuously.<br />
<br />
It is named after Rex, a member of TWPS.<br />
<br />
===Reverse tilt===<br />
====Backaround====<br />
Shortened to simply 'bak', backarounds are like the standard arounds but the tilt is in the opposite direction for a given hand orientation. Palm down around reverses tilt away from the back of the hand, while backarounds tilt towards the back of the hand when the trick starts. Backarounds have the opposite direction to arounds, as historically the backaround was considered to be a separate, individual trick without a reverse. <br />
<br />
Midbak 1.5s and pinkybak are very common finishers with the former being an iconic staple for aesthetic spinning, especially for styles that utilize the MX.<br />
<br />
The backaround originated from David Weis in 1999 as an attempt to perform continuous arounds without using the fingers to push the pen. The reason the normal of the backaround spins opposite of the standard tilt around is because he found it easier to perform arounds continuously in the "reverse direction" as stated by Weis himself, later on calling it the 'backaround'.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20181001234754/https://web.archive.org/web/20090422094607/http://www.pentrix.com/upsb2/viewtopic.php?p=609#609 David Weis on creating the backaround]</ref><br />
<br />
<br />
=====Bust=====<br />
A '''Bust''' is a common name for a reverse Backaround. Continuous fingerless busts around the index finger are performed with the pen hitting the middle finger in order to gain enough vertical height to spin around the index finger. They are a very common finisher.<br />
<br />
The first instance of the word bust is in 2002, with the<br />
creation by Kam of the trick sonic bust (see: Sonic bust). His objective with<br />
that trick was to link two tricks that in principle have different directions of rotation: the sonic (CW) and the indexaround (CCW). This was the first<br />
definition of bust: an indexaround attached to a trick which, in principle,<br />
had a different direction of rotation.<br />
<br />
The name was used widely during UPSB v2 and in 2006, there were<br />
three well known tricks with the bust modifier attached to them: sonic<br />
bust, twisted sonic bust and demon sonic bust <ref>[https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/ucpsb/bust-discussions-t3882.html#p1264748 Dongza on "Bust"]</ref>. Years later, Thai powertrickers popularized its continuous usage. At that point, the initial definition was lost, and bust not only began to mean attaching a backaround reverse to any trick regardless of its direction of rotation, but it started to be used as a standalone trick as well.<br />
<br />
In Japanese Notation, this trick is mostly notated with スプレッド (spread), although the name バスト (bust) can also be seen at times, especially among powertrickers and newer generations.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
====Thumb Backaround====<br />
Once confusingly called "Thumb lever", it follows the same rule as the backaround. The normal direction is reversed and it uses the opposite tilt for hand orientation. Originally performed palm up only. Rarely performed in <br />
reverse.<br />
<br />
====Raimo Backaround====<br />
A '''Raimo Backaround''' is a hybrid between a backaround and a pass rev. The trick was characteristic of the Japanese spinner Raimo.<br />
<br />
====Bakfall====<br />
A ''''backaround fall'''', or ''''bakfall''', consists of dong four backarounds, starting with the index finger and finishing with the pinky.<br />
<br />
bakfall = bak 12-12 > midbak 12-23 > ringbak 23-34 > pinkybak 34-34<br />
<br />
The name bakfall is just an abbreviation of backaround fall. During the UPSB v2 era, Kam, David Weis and nhk_9 discussed how a true backaround fall would be done, but ended up coming up with a neobak fall <ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20060317075255/http://www.pentrix.com/upsb2/viewtopic.php?t=769 Kam, David Weis and nhk_9 discuss how a true backaround fall would be done, end up with neobak fall]</ref>. When and who came up with its current version is unknown, but in 2007 it was already an established trick.<br />
<br />
On the topic of the rise and fall modifiers, Sketching said that:<br />
<br />
“''If you’re not doing one of the standard Rise/Fall combos (Sonic, Backaround, Neobak), I would suggest just writing out the individual tricks that you do''”<ref>[https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/ucpsb/rise-fall-t6683.html#p1539057 Skteching on "Rise and fall"]</ref><br />

}}<br />
'''Fen Spinner''' is an English-speaking [[Pen Spinning Community|pen spinning community]] created on July 30th, 2020 by [[Varoza]]. After frequent disagreements with staff from [[The Workshop]] leading up to September that year, Fen Spinner became public and the membership greatly increased, claiming to be a new community separate from those typically associated with [[UPSB]]. The community hub is primarily a public Discord server with a secondary website, [[Fen Spinner Wiki]]. The community participated in SpinFest 2021 and 2023, as well as the [[Pen Spinning World Cup 2022]], which it won.<br />
==History==<br />
Fen Spinner was established as a Discord server on 30 July 2020 to serve as a social hub for several members of the private team OPSD to interact with non-members. Initially characterized by minimal moderation and informal structure, the server functioned primarily as a casual hangout space.<br />
<br />
Prior to 11 September 2020, a series of long-standing tensions began to reshape the server’s direction. Prior disagreements had emerged between members of Fen Spinner and the administration of The Workshop, with criticisms directed at the latter’s approach to moderation. Concerns included perceived heavy-handed enforcement, lack of responsiveness to community feedback, and inconsistent application of rules. Although these critiques were largely dismissed at the time, they contributed to the eventual dissolution of The Workshop.<br />
<br />
The name "Fen Spinner" comes from the Fennec Fox<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fennec_fox Wikipedia article on Fennec Foxes]</ref>, the mascot animal of the community. The animal is sometimes referred to as a "Fen" and sounded similar to "Pen", so the community name was chosen as a pun.<br />
===Split from The Workshop===<br />
[[File:Fentember.jpg|thumb|200px|The September 11th 2020 call and the infamous "Fentember 11th" message]]On 11 September 2020, members of Fen Spinner initiated what became the largest voice call on The Workshop server, reaching the channel’s maximum capacity of 25 simultaneous users. Moderators declined invitations to participate. During the event, the #voice-text channel saw a surge in activity, with posts ranging from pen spinning discussions to unrelated content. Although memes and off-topic messages had appeared previously, the volume during this call was unprecedented.<br />
<br />
The administrator Coffeelucky requested that participants leave the channel and instead use a group chat call, which was limited to 10 users—less than half of those present. This suggestion was met with criticism, and the proposal later shifted to creating a new server entirely. During the call, concerns were raised about moderation practices, particularly the perception that enforcement disproportionately targeted specific individuals rather than applying consistent rules. A meme referencing the September 11 attacks was posted in relation to the event.<br />
<br />
The call continued into the early hours of 12 September. No immediate disciplinary actions were taken, but overnight, the administration issued bans, mutes, and warnings citing the generic reason of "Spam." Notably, Varoza was banned for seven days, and Zxntle was muted for 14 days. It took approximately two weeks for the community to uncover the specific reasons behind these actions. Many users criticized the vague and delayed explanations, which remained unclear until Varoza was unbanned.<br />
<br />
The administration later clarified that Zxntle had been muted for replying "bruh" to Coffeelucky, and that Varoza had been warned—not banned—for posting the offensive meme. The exact reason for Varoza’s ban remains unknown. Following the incident, moderator abc resigned. The administration alleged that abc had been harassed, though screenshots circulated showing abc engaging in personal attacks against other users. In the aftermath, several active members left The Workshop in protest. Some moderators, including DarKT, described the departing users as "troublemakers," despite one of them having previously been offered a moderator position.<br />
<br />
As a result of these events, a significant portion of the active English-speaking community migrated to Fen Spinner, which grew from approximately 10 members to several hundred.<br />
<br />
===SpinFest 2021===<br />
[[File:Fens1st.jpg|thumb|200px|Fen Spinner 1st Title screen]]In November 2020<ref>[https://twitter.com/Spinfest/status/1333090728273121280 Tweet announcing sign-ups for SpinFest 2021]</ref>, sign-ups for [[SpinFest 2021]] opened. Fen Spinner submitted to the draft and, after India's community applied late, made it into the lineup<ref>[https://twitter.com/Spinfest/status/1342137798065852416 Tweet showing Fen Spinner making it into SpinFest 2021]</ref>. Initial plans for a parody as the first video from Fen Spinner were quickly scrapped, with plans being drawn for a show of the community's ability. On April 12th 2021, after months of editing and filming, "Fen Spinner 1st" was released<ref>[https://twitter.com/Spinfest/status/1381843299435167745 Tweet of Fen Spinner 1st released to SpinFest]</ref> as the SpinFest submission, a surprise to detractors who claimed a troll CV would be submitted. Edited by Varoza, it featured extensive 3D graphics and special effects, and featured 11 spinners.<br />
<br />
===Further CVs and World Tournament 2021===<br />
A collaboration video was planned for a crossover with [[LSPSC]], but the project was suspended after LSPSC closed in July 2021. <br />
<br />
On July 30th 2021 a minicombo collaboration video "1 Year of Fen Spinner"<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QJPKzkpTmM 1 Year of Fen Spinner on YouTube]</ref> was released, with videos from many of the active Fen Spinner members.<br />
<br />
Fen Spinner expressed interest in joining the [[Pen Spinning World Tournament 2021]], but a decision by the [[Pen Spinning Board of Directors]] was made to lump the community in with [[The Workshop]] and those still identifying as [[UPSB]], with [[Padrace]] as manager and the community named as the '''English Speaking Pen-spinning Collective''' (ESPC). The rule itself currently only applies to Fen Spinner, and previous World Tournaments allowed new boards and boards split from other boards to sign up, famously Korean and German boards. Ultimately, a deal was made that allowed the combined English speaking community to enter more participants than defined in the rule book, with the following spinners entering A side from Fen Spinner:<ref>[https://wt21.worldps.org/participants/ WT21 Participants page on the website]</ref><br />
*[[Varoza]]<br />
*Pall<br />
*[[Allwars]]<br />
Pall came top 32, Allwars top 16 and Varoza top 8.<br />
<br />
In addition, '''Mervo''' entered World Tournament B side<ref>[https://wt21-b.worldps.org/participants/ WT21 B side Participants on the website]</ref> from Fen Spinner.<br />
<br />
===Spin Awards 2021===<br />
[[File:SpinAwards2021.JPG|thumb|200px|Spin Awards 2021 Branding]]<br />
With no members of the Spin Awards committee wishing to step up and run the event, Fen Spinner volunteered and ran Spin Awards 2021, using a complicated multiple choice voting system and a restyling of the event to look more professional. Among other changes, the event was restructured to have an individual representative and individual advisor from each community to handle fair voting, nominations and communicating the event with their own communities. <br />
<br />
Past Spin Awards had a limited set of representatives, typically limited to a friend group nature like the [[Pen Spinning Board of Directors]], and the list of award recipients was chosen by the event organizer, Coffeelucky, after some consultation. This made the past Spin Awards controversial as often individual candidates were missed in nominations and voting, with a heavy bias towards popular figures.<br />
<br />
The 2021 event also held voting in early 2022 in order to accurately receive combos later in the year from sources like the JapEn CV, which is typically released on Christmas day. Following this, the results compilation and editing process took until February 27th for the release of the awards, with some people such as Coffeelucky who had refused to assist the editing process complaining publicly about the internally communicated delays.<br />
<br />
All three award videos were released in February, with modding awards being published as an image result due to the editing workload not being assisted by any other Spin Awards representative:<br />
* [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0-lVu_WfGE Spinner of the Year 2021 | Spin Awards]<br />
* [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xA-c4uOTk0 Collab of the Year 2021 | Spin Awards]<br />
* [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJ5eC1VWQjg Spin Awards 2021 - Minor Awards]<br />
<br />
After the release of the videos, Fen Spinner announced stepping down from running Spin Awards, citing difficulties and political infighting bogging down the process of running the event. With no individuals willing to have Spin Awards handed off to them, the server was given to FPSB's Patchwork, and fell into disuse shortly after with the event no longer being held.<br />
<br />
===Leadership changes, World Cup 2022 and Pen Spinning Olympics 2022===<br />
In late 2021 a key change was [[Nine]] from [[UPSB]] joining Fen Spinner and soon making his way into the leadership of the community, with Allwars eventually departing the community for the second time. Originally Fen Spinner was to join with members of [[The Workshop]] to create a [[World Cup]] team, but the alliance was shaky and eventually broken by another Workshop conflict. The decision was made to form a new World Cup team consisting entirely of Fen Spinner members: '''Final Boss'''. Soon after these tensions resulted in Nine and Varoza being permanently banned from the workshop shortly after the tournament started.<br />
<br />
Final Boss came 3rd in the 1st round of the [[Pen Spinning World Cup 2022]], and defeated in all categories the strongest team from [[PSH]]: '''BlackMagic''' in round 2. In round 3, they defeated the rival team they originally split away from before the tournament: '''The Five Fingers of Sublime Pen''', captained by [[Padrace]]. Eventually, they would defeat [[JEB]]'s '''Eastern Reunion''' in the final round in all categories, winning the World Cup. The team's victories were particularly crushing as Final Boss won 14/15 round points, only losing a single battle in the event. The single lost battle was controversial, as Krogan was suggested to freestyle and troll his opponent on purpose while preparing for the next round, such was the confidence that Final Boss would win regardless.<br />
<br />
The Final Boss team members were as follows:<br />
*[[Varoza]]<br />
*[[Nine]]<br />
*Krogan (pseudonym of [[Barney]])<br />
*[[Vanilla]]<br />
*[[ZeGentleman]]<br />
*[[Saltient]] (substitute)<br />
ZeGentleman, the winner of the [[PSUK]] beginner's tournament, was notably only a 1 year [[prodigy]] spinner. He was swapped out for Saltient after round 2.<br />
<br />
In the [[Pen Spinning Olympics 2022]], Fen Spinner members [[Reboot]] and ZeGentleman entered the power category, with Reboot placing 1st and ZeGentleman 3rd. Barney entered the Wipers category as "KyorYuuNa", coming 4th place after not submitting for the final round.<br />
<br />
===Spinfest 2023, the rise of Spindys and fall of The Workshop===<br />
[[File:Fen2nd.JPG|thumb|200px|FEN 2ND Title screen]]<br />
The second official CV of the board, '''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RoyGJsclm_k FEN 2ND | Spinfest 2023]''' was released on June 25th, 2023, with a strong roster comprising almost all of the '''Final Boss''' team members and other Fen Spinner members. <br />
<br />
On its release the manager of the Spinfest Twitter account, Coffeelucky, shared it with a caption stating that the video had "Excessive bright flashing lights" advising people not to watch it. In fact, the CV had been screened to a member with photosensitive epilepsy beforehand and confirmed not to have any adverse effects before release.<br />
<br />
During this period the new community [[Spindys]] began to gain traction. Tilt, a Fen Spinner member for several years had started a YouTube channel that attracted many new spinners to the hobby. With the decline in activity in The Workshop, that same activity moved over to Spindys, with Fen Spinner and Spindys cooperating for the English-speaking pen spinning community. The Workshop would later close for good on October 20th, 2024.<br />
<br />
Fen Spinner would soon after close public invites due to the influx of new spinners brought by Spindys, trialling different methods of acquiring new members until settling on a vouch-based system.<br />
<br />
===World Tournament 202 and Pen Spinning Olympics 2026===<br />
Several Fen Spinner members entered the [[Pen Spinning World Tournament 2025]], with their registered communities following their names:<br />
* [[Tilt]] (Spindys, Fen) - 3rd Place<br />
* [[Barney]] (Spindys) - Top 8<br />
* '''Levia''' (Independent) - Top 16<br />
* '''monsoon''' (PHPS) - Top 16<br />
* '''Apple''' (VNPS, Fen)<br />
Barney jokingly signed up under PSUKC, then Spindys under a fake name 'LimSeowon'.<br />
<br />
In the [[Pen Spinning Olympics 2026]], [[Barney]] would win in both the technical and infinity categories.<br />
<br />
==Wiki==<br />
Fen Spinner Wiki is a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki MediaWiki] site created as a replacement for the long-defunct [[UPSB Wiki]] in early 2021. Over time, this grew to become the largest pen spinning wiki project ever made, dwarfing the original UPSB projects and other competitors. In 2025 a new responsive frontend and homepage was added to the wiki as part of a wider rollout of updates to the site.<br />

In late 2021 a key change was [[Nine]] from [[UPSB]] joining Fen Spinner and soon making his way into the leadership of the community, with Allwars eventually departing the community for the second time. Originally Fen Spinner was to join with members of [[The Workshop]] to create a [[World Cup]] team, but the alliance was shaky and eventually broken by another Workshop conflict. The decision was made to form a new World Cup team consisting entirely of Fen Spinner members: '''Final Boss'''. Soon after these tensions resulted in Nine and Varoza being permanently banned from the workshop shortly after the tournament started.<br />
<br />
Final Boss came 3rd in the 1st round of the [[Pen Spinning World Cup 2022]], and defeated in all categories the strongest team from [[PSH]]: '''BlackMagic''' in round 2. In round 3, they defeated the rival team they originally split away from before the tournament: '''The Five Fingers of Sublime Pen''', captained by [[Padrace]]. Eventually, they would defeat [[JEB]]'s '''Eastern Reunion''' in the final round in all categories, winning the World Cup. The team's victories were particularly crushing as Final Boss won 14/15 round points, only losing a single battle in the event. The single lost battle was controversial, as Krogan was suggested to freestyle and troll his opponent on purpose while preparing for the next round, such was the confidence that Final Boss would win regardless.<br />
<br />
The Final Boss team members were as follows:<br />
*[[Varoza]]<br />
*[[Nine]]<br />
*Krogan (pseudonym of [[Barney]])<br />
*[[Vanilla]]<br />
*[[ZeGentleman]]<br />
*[[Saltient]] (substitute)<br />
ZeGentleman, the winner of the [[PSUK]] beginner's tournament, was notably only a 1 year [[prodigy]] spinner. He was swapped out for Saltient after round 2.<br />
<br />
In the [[Pen Spinning Olympics 2022]], Fen Spinner members [[Reboot]] and ZeGentleman entered the power category, with Reboot placing 1st and ZeGentleman 3rd. Barney entered the Wipers category as "KyorYuuNa", coming 4th place after not submitting for the final round.<br />
<br />
===Spinfest 2023, the rise of Spindys and fall of The Workshop===<br />
[[File:Fen2nd.JPG|thumb|200px|FEN 2ND Title screen]]<br />
The second official CV of the board, '''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RoyGJsclm_k FEN 2ND | Spinfest 2023]''' was released on June 25th, 2023, with a strong roster comprising almost all of the '''Final Boss''' team members and other Fen Spinner members. <br />
<br />
On its release the manager of the Spinfest Twitter account, Coffeelucky, shared it with a caption stating that the video had "Excessive bright flashing lights" advising people not to watch it. In fact, the CV had been screened to a member with photosensitive epilepsy beforehand and confirmed not to have any adverse effects before release.<br />
<br />
During this period the new community [[Spindys]] began to gain traction. Tilt, a Fen Spinner member for several years had started a YouTube channel that attracted many new spinners to the hobby. With the decline in activity in The Workshop, that same activity moved over to Spindys, with Fen Spinner and Spindys cooperating for the English-speaking pen spinning community. The Workshop would later close for good on October 20th, 2024.<br />
<br />
Fen Spinner would soon after close public invites due to the influx of new spinners brought by Spindys, trialling different methods of acquiring new members until settling on a vouch-based system.<br />
<br />
===World Tournament 202 and Pen Spinning Olympics 2026===<br />
Several Fen Spinner members entered the [[Pen Spinning World Tournament 2025]], with their registered communities following their names:<br />
* [[Tilt]] (Spindys, Fen) - 3rd Place<br />
* [[Barney]] (Spindys) - Top 8<br />
* '''Levia''' (Independent) - Top 16<br />
* '''monsoon''' (PHPS) - Top 16<br />
* '''Apple''' (VNPS, Fen)<br />
Barney jokingly signed up under PSUKC, then Spindys under a fake name 'LimSeowon'.<br />
<br />
In the [[Pen Spinning Olympics 2026]], [[Barney]] would win in both the technical and infinity categories.<br />
<br />
==Wiki==<br />
Fen Spinner Wiki is a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki MediaWiki] site created as a replacement for the long-defunct [[UPSB Wiki]] in early 2021. Over time, this grew to become the largest pen spinning wiki project ever made, dwarfing the original UPSB projects and other competitors. In 2025 a new responsive frontend and homepage was added to the wiki as part of a wider rollout of updates to the site.<br />

'''Fen Spinner''' is an English-speaking [[Pen Spinning Community|pen spinning community]] created on July 30th, 2020 by [[Varoza]]. After frequent disagreements with staff from [[The Workshop]] leading up to September that year, Fen Spinner became public and the membership greatly increased, claiming to be a new community separate from those typically associated with [[UPSB]]. The community hub is primarily a public Discord server with a secondary website, [[Fen Spinner Wiki]]. The community participated in SpinFest 2021 and 2023, as well as the [[Pen Spinning World Cup 2022]], which it won.<br />
==History==<br />
Fen Spinner was established as a Discord server on 30 July 2020 to serve as a social hub for several members of the private team OPSD to interact with non-members. Initially characterized by minimal moderation and informal structure, the server functioned primarily as a casual hangout space.<br />
<br />
Prior to 11 September 2020, a series of long-standing tensions began to reshape the server’s direction. Prior disagreements had emerged between members of Fen Spinner and the administration of The Workshop, with criticisms directed at the latter’s approach to moderation. Concerns included perceived heavy-handed enforcement, lack of responsiveness to community feedback, and inconsistent application of rules. Although these critiques were largely dismissed at the time, they contributed to the eventual dissolution of The Workshop.<br />
<br />
The name "Fen Spinner" comes from the Fennec Fox<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fennec_fox Wikipedia article on Fennec Foxes]</ref>, the mascot animal of the community. The animal is sometimes referred to as a "Fen" and sounded similar to "Pen", so the community name was chosen as a pun.<br />
===Split from The Workshop===<br />
[[File:Fentember.jpg|thumb|200px|The September 11th 2020 call and the infamous "Fentember 11th" message]]On 11 September 2020, members of Fen Spinner initiated what became the largest voice call on The Workshop server, reaching the channel’s maximum capacity of 25 simultaneous users. Moderators declined invitations to participate. During the event, the #voice-text channel saw a surge in activity, with posts ranging from pen spinning discussions to unrelated content. Although memes and off-topic messages had appeared previously, the volume during this call was unprecedented.<br />
<br />
The administrator Coffeelucky requested that participants leave the channel and instead use a group chat call, which was limited to 10 users—less than half of those present. This suggestion was met with criticism, and the proposal later shifted to creating a new server entirely. During the call, concerns were raised about moderation practices, particularly the perception that enforcement disproportionately targeted specific individuals rather than applying consistent rules. A meme referencing the September 11 attacks was posted in relation to the event.<br />
<br />
The call continued into the early hours of 12 September. No immediate disciplinary actions were taken, but overnight, the administration issued bans, mutes, and warnings citing the generic reason of "Spam." Notably, Varoza was banned for seven days, and Zxntle was muted for 14 days. It took approximately two weeks for the community to uncover the specific reasons behind these actions. Many users criticized the vague and delayed explanations, which remained unclear until Varoza was unbanned.<br />
<br />
The administration later clarified that Zxntle had been muted for replying "bruh" to Coffeelucky, and that Varoza had been warned—not banned—for posting the offensive meme. The exact reason for Varoza’s ban remains unknown. Following the incident, moderator abc resigned. The administration alleged that abc had been harassed, though screenshots circulated showing abc engaging in personal attacks against other users. In the aftermath, several active members left The Workshop in protest. Some moderators, including DarKT, described the departing users as "troublemakers," despite one of them having previously been offered a moderator position.<br />
<br />
As a result of these events, a significant portion of the active English-speaking community migrated to Fen Spinner, which grew from approximately 10 members to several hundred.<br />
<br />
===SpinFest 2021===<br />
[[File:Fens1st.jpg|thumb|200px|Fen Spinner 1st Title screen]]In November 2020<ref>[https://twitter.com/Spinfest/status/1333090728273121280 Tweet announcing sign-ups for SpinFest 2021]</ref>, sign-ups for [[SpinFest 2021]] opened. Fen Spinner submitted to the draft and, after India's community applied late, made it into the lineup<ref>[https://twitter.com/Spinfest/status/1342137798065852416 Tweet showing Fen Spinner making it into SpinFest 2021]</ref>. Initial plans for a parody as the first video from Fen Spinner were quickly scrapped, with plans being drawn for a show of the community's ability. On April 12th 2021, after months of editing and filming, "Fen Spinner 1st" was released<ref>[https://twitter.com/Spinfest/status/1381843299435167745 Tweet of Fen Spinner 1st released to SpinFest]</ref> as the SpinFest submission, a surprise to detractors who claimed a troll CV would be submitted. Edited by Varoza, it featured extensive 3D graphics and special effects, and featured 11 spinners.<br />
<br />
===Further CVs and World Tournament 2021===<br />
A collaboration video was planned for a crossover with [[LSPSC]], but the project was suspended after LSPSC closed in July 2021. <br />
<br />
On July 30th 2021 a minicombo collaboration video "1 Year of Fen Spinner"<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QJPKzkpTmM 1 Year of Fen Spinner on YouTube]</ref> was released, with videos from many of the active Fen Spinner members.<br />
<br />
Fen Spinner expressed interest in joining the [[Pen Spinning World Tournament 2021]], but a decision by the [[Pen Spinning Board of Directors]] was made to lump the community in with [[The Workshop]] and those still identifying as [[UPSB]], with [[Padrace]] as manager and the community named as the '''English Speaking Pen-spinning Collective''' (ESPC). The rule itself currently only applies to Fen Spinner, and previous World Tournaments allowed new boards and boards split from other boards to sign up, famously Korean and German boards. Ultimately, a deal was made that allowed the combined English speaking community to enter more participants than defined in the rule book, with the following spinners entering A side from Fen Spinner:<ref>[https://wt21.worldps.org/participants/ WT21 Participants page on the website]</ref><br />
*[[Varoza]]<br />
*'''Pall'''<br />
*[[Allwars]]<br />
Pall came top 32, Allwars top 16 and Varoza top 8.<br />
<br />
In addition, '''Mervo''' entered World Tournament B side<ref>[https://wt21-b.worldps.org/participants/ WT21 B side Participants on the website]</ref> from Fen Spinner.<br />
<br />
===Spin Awards 2021===<br />
[[File:SpinAwards2021.JPG|thumb|200px|Spin Awards 2021 Branding]]<br />
With no members of the Spin Awards committee wishing to step up and run the event, Fen Spinner volunteered and ran Spin Awards 2021, using a complicated multiple choice voting system and a restyling of the event to look more professional. Among other changes, the event was restructured to have an individual representative and individual advisor from each community to handle fair voting, nominations and communicating the event with their own communities. <br />
<br />
Past Spin Awards had a limited set of representatives, typically limited to a friend group nature like the [[Pen Spinning Board of Directors]], and the list of award recipients was chosen by the event organizer, Coffeelucky, after some consultation. This made the past Spin Awards controversial as often individual candidates were missed in nominations and voting, with a heavy bias towards popular figures.<br />
<br />
The 2021 event also held voting in early 2022 in order to accurately receive combos later in the year from sources like the JapEn CV, which is typically released on Christmas day. Following this, the results compilation and editing process took until February 27th for the release of the awards, with some people such as Coffeelucky who had refused to assist the editing process complaining publicly about the internally communicated delays.<br />
<br />
All three award videos were released in February, with modding awards being published as an image result due to the editing workload not being assisted by any other Spin Awards representative:<br />
* [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0-lVu_WfGE Spinner of the Year 2021 | Spin Awards]<br />
* [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xA-c4uOTk0 Collab of the Year 2021 | Spin Awards]<br />
* [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJ5eC1VWQjg Spin Awards 2021 - Minor Awards]<br />
<br />
After the release of the videos, Fen Spinner announced stepping down from running Spin Awards, citing difficulties and political infighting bogging down the process of running the event. With no individuals willing to have Spin Awards handed off to them, the server was given to FPSB's Patchwork, and fell into disuse shortly after with the event no longer being held.<br />
<br />

The team's victories were particularly crushing as Final Boss won 14/15 round points, only losing a single battle in the event. The single lost battle was controversial, as Krogan was suggested to freestyle and troll his opponent on purpose while preparing for the next round, such was the confidence that Final Boss would win regardless.<br />
<br />
The Final Boss team members were as follows:<br />
*[[Varoza]]<br />
*[[Nine]]<br />
*Krogan (pseudonym of [[Barney]])<br />
*[[Vanilla]]<br />
*[[ZeGentleman]]<br />
*[[Saltient]] (substitute)<br />
ZeGentleman, the winner of the [[PSUK]] beginner's tournament, was notably only a 1 year [[prodigy]] spinner. He was swapped out for Saltient after round 2.<br />
<br />
In the [[Pen Spinning Olympics 2022]], Fen Spinner members [[Reboot]] and ZeGentleman entered the power category, with Reboot placing 1st and ZeGentleman 3rd. Barney entered the Wipers category as "KyorYuuNa", coming 4th place after not submitting for the final round.<br />

===Spinfest 2023, the rise of Spindys and fall of The Workshop===<br />
[[File:Fen2nd.JPG|thumb|200px|FEN 2ND Title screen]]<br />
The second official CV of the board, '''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RoyGJsclm_k FEN 2ND | Spinfest 2023]''' was released on June 25th, 2023, with a strong roster comprising almost all of the '''Final Boss''' team members and other Fen Spinner members. <br />
<br />
On its release the manager of the Spinfest Twitter account, Coffeelucky, shared it with a caption stating that the video had "Excessive bright flashing lights" advising people not to watch it. In fact, the CV had been screened to a member with photosensitive epilepsy beforehand and confirmed not to have any adverse effects before release.<br />
<br />
During this period the new community [[Spindys]] began to gain traction. Tilt, a Fen Spinner member for several years had started a YouTube channel that attracted many new spinners to the hobby. With the decline in activity in The Workshop, that same activity moved over to Spindys, with Fen Spinner and Spindys cooperating for the English-speaking pen spinning community. The Workshop would later close for good on October 20th, 2024.<br />
<br />
===World Tournament 202 and Pen Spinning Olympics 2026===<br />
Several Fen Spinner members entered the [[Pen Spinning World Tournament 2025]], with their registered communities following their names:<br />
* [[Tilt]] (Spindys, Fen) - 3rd Place<br />
* [[Barney]] (Spindys) - Top 8<br />
* '''Levia''' (Independent) - Top 16<br />
* '''monsoon''' (PHPS) - Top 16<br />
* '''Apple''' (VNPS, Fen)<br />
Barney jokingly signed up under PSUKC, then Spindys under a fake name 'LimSeowon'.<br />
<br />
In the [[Pen Spinning Olympics 2026]], [[Barney]] would win in both the technical and infinity categories.<br />
<br />
==Wiki==<br />
Fen Spinner Wiki is a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki MediaWiki] site created as a replacement for the long-defunct [[UPSB Wiki]] in early 2021. Over time, this grew to become the largest pen spinning wiki project ever made, dwarfing the original UPSB projects and other competitors. In 2025 a new responsive frontend and homepage was added to the wiki as part of a wider rollout of updates to the site.<br />

'''Tilt''' is a spinner from the United States who runs the pen spinning youtube channel '''tilt_ps'''. A [[prodigy|superprodigy]] who quickly rose to prominence in several main pen spinning categories, Tilt's spinning is highlighted by his focus on extreme difficulty, [[hypermodern]] construction and development of rare trick categories like palm down [[2H Twirl|2H twirls]]. He would later come 3rd place in the [[Pen Spinning World Tournament 2025]].<br />
<br />
Tilt is also well known for creating [[Spindys]], a Discord server centred around his channel that became one of the main English hubs for pen spinning.<br />

==YouTube channel==<br />
Tilt runs two youtube channels, [https://www.youtube.com/@tilt_ps tilt_ps] and [https://www.youtube.com/@SpindysWeeklyLinkages SpindysWeeklyLinkages], a spinoff channel to hold the long-running weekly linkage series that Tilt started in 2022 and spun off into its own channel in June 2024. Tilt's content primarily focuses around practicing and motivation techniques, with some discussion on higher level pen spinning and different approaches. Notably Tilt does not make large numbers of tutorials, preferring instead to provide approaches that encourage learning the hobby without following tutorials.<br />
<br />
As of 2026 Tilt's channel has winded down in activity, from multiple uploads a week to occasional announcements on pen spinning events.<br />
<br />
=Spindys=<br />
Tilt is the creator of the English speaking community Spindys, which was originally formed around his content for pen spinning [[notation]] and his long-running weekly linkage series associated with the community. The Discord server was created on 29th June 2022, and first linked to it in his videos in April of 2023.<br />

The '''Pen Spinning Olympics 2022''', more commonly known as '''PSO22''', were the third Pen Spinning Olympics. They were organized by [[Padrace]].<br />
<br />
== Categories ==<br />
These categories represent the theme in which participants were judged, with each category acting as its own tournament.<br />
<br />
The categories were :<br />
; Aestheticism<br />
{{See also|Aesthetic}}<br />
; Power<br />
{{See also|Power}}<br />
; XPXH<br />
{{See also|2 Hands}}<br />
{{See also|Multipen}}<br />
; Stand-up<br />
{{See also|Standup}}<br />
; Tap&Counters<br />
: This theme revolves around the usage of direction changes and tap tricks<br />
; Unmod<br />
: In Unmod, spinners were required to submit a combo using a [[Pilot Dr. Grip]] or a [[Nitomn Stalogy|Stalogy]] pen.<br />
; Wipers<br />
: In this category, spinners were judged on their [[wiper]] tricks. This notably includes the wipers' execution and creativity.<br />
=== Structure of the matchups ===<br />
<br />
For each category and each round for which the participants were qualified, participants submitted a video before the deadline via forms. Videos had to be between 10 and 30 seconds long, except for the Stand-up category where the duration was between 15 and 45 seconds (counted from the beginning of the first trick to the end of the last trick). A slow-motion version of the video was welcome to facilitate the work of the judges. No modifications to the video that would alter the viewing of the performance were permitted. Videos had to be uploaded to YouTube or any kind of storage website.<br />
<br />
== Participants==<br />
Contrary to the previous Pen Spinning Olympics, PSO22 allows participants to participate in as many categories as they desired.<br />

The '''Pen Spinning Olympics 2022''', more commonly known as '''PSO22''', were the third Pen Spinning Olympics. They were organized by [[Padrace]].<br />
<br />
== Category ==<br />
These categories represent the theme in which participants were judged, with each category acting as its own tournament.<br />
<br />
The categories were :<br />
; Aestheticism<br />
{{See also|Aesthetic}}<br />
; Power<br />
{{See also|Power}}<br />
; XPXH<br />
{{See also|2 Hands}}<br />
{{See also|Multipen}}<br />
; Stand-up<br />
{{See also|Standup}}<br />
; Tap&Counters<br />
: This theme revolves around the usage of direction changes and tap tricks<br />
; Unmod<br />
: In Unmod, spinners were required to submit a combo using a [[Pilot Dr. Grip]] or a [[Nitomn Stalogy|Stalogy]] pen.<br />
; Wipers<br />
: In this category, spinners were judged on their [[wiper]] tricks. This notably includes the wipers' execution and creativity.<br />
=== Structure of the matchups ===<br />
<br />
For each category and each round for which the participants were qualified, participants submitted a video before the deadline via forms. Videos had to be between 10 and 30 seconds long, except for the Stand-up category where the duration was between 15 and 45 seconds (counted from the beginning of the first trick to the end of the last trick). A slow-motion version of the video was welcome to facilitate the work of the judges. No modifications to the video that would alter the viewing of the performance were permitted. Videos had to be uploaded to YouTube or any kind of storage website.<br />
== Participants==<br />
Contrary to the previous Pen Spinning Olympics, PSO22 allows participants to participate in as many categories as they desired.<br />

'''Tilt''' is a spinner from the United States who runs the pen spinning youtube channel '''tilt_ps'''. A [[prodigy|superprodigy]] who quickly rose to prominence in several main pen spinning categories, Tilt's spinning is highlighted by his focus on extreme difficulty, [[hypermodern]] construction and development of rare trick categories like palm down [[2H Twirl|2H twirls]]. He would later come 3rd place in the [[Pen Spinning World Tournament 2025]].<br />
<br />
Tilt is also well known for creating [[Spindys]], a Discord server centred around his channel that became one of the main English hubs for pen spinning.<br />

<div>After [[UPSB]] shut down in 2018, the international English-speaking community that once inhabited it split into many individual groups that attempt to fulfil some or all of the utility that UPSB once provided. The ease of making a new community with technologies such as Discord have made it increasingly easy for the international community to fragment even further, resulting in a complicated muddle of smaller and larger groups that all lay claim to the original UPSB community in some way or other.<br />

{{See also|Fen Spinner}}<br />
Originally a small friend group in 2020, Fen Spinner officially split away from The Workshop in September 2020 after disagreements over the disconnect between community leadership and its members. Initially just a Discord server, Fen Spinner later made the website that includes this wiki project. The community has a more casual and laid-back approach to the hobby in contrast to more serious servers such as The Workshop.<br />
<br />

===Mango's Pen Spinning Discord===<br />
{{See also|Mango's Pen Spinning Discord}}<br />
Originally created by [[Luna]] from UPSB before the closure of the board, it was later transferred to UPSB spinner [[Mango]] and was used as a casual hangout. After the closure of UPSB, the server experienced an influx of members and became one of the largest pen spinning communities. In recent times it has grown inactive and unmoderated.<br />
<br />
===r/penspinning===<br />
{{See also|r/penspinning}}<br />
De facto run by [[Letho72]], the subreddit existed before UPSB's closure but saw limited use, with increased use and the need for information and spaces appearing after the closure of UPSB. It expanded into a discord server before UPSB closed, which now acts as one of the main pipelines of new spinners into the community. Largely inactive and unmoderated.<br />
<br />
===Pen Stock===<br />
{{See also|Pen Stock}}<br />
Created by [[Alex Suhov| Alex 'Lantz' Suhov]] in March 2018 as a YouTube channel, Pen Stock rose to become the leading active pen spinning tutorial center for the English speaking community. Prior to its deletion by a rogue moderator, the Pen Stock discord server was the largest of all pen spinning servers, with a smaller replacement appearing in its stead after. Fraught with controversies in its short lifespan, Pen Stock grew massively after the start of the 2020 COVID-19 Pandemic. The community is inactive with the cessation of activity from its creator.<br />

===The Collective===<br />
{{See also|The Collective}}<br />
Set up by [[iColor]], an ex-UPSB moderator, The Collective (previous known as Spin Archive) consisted of a discord server and a website (spin-archive.org) that collected and displays archived pen spinning content. Notably the website contained the archives for both UPSB V4 and UPSB V3. The goal was to collect and record the history of pen spinning. <br />
<br />
As of 2026 the site has been down for a notable period of time and no new announcements have been made on the project.<br />
<br />
===Naming Committee===<br />

<div>After [[UPSB]] shut down in 2018, the international English-speaking community that once inhabited it split into many individual groups that attempt to fulfil some or all of the utility that UPSB once provided. The ease of making a new community with technologies such as Discord have made it increasingly easy for the international community to fragment even further, resulting in a complicated muddle of smaller and larger groups that all lay claim to the original UPSB community in some way or other.<br />

{{Tournament InfoBox|winner=Final Boss|date=June 25th, 2022|participants=74|rounds=4|image={{#setmainimage:wc22.jpg}}}}<br />
The '''Pen Spinning World Cup 2022''' was an international team-based competition held from June 25th, 2022 to September 3rd, 2022<ref>[https://wc22.worldps.org/ Pen Spinning World Cup 2022 website]</ref>.<br />
==History==<br />
The WC22 event was unplanned by the [[Pen Spinning Board of Directors]], who had gone dormant after the [[Pen Spinning World Tournament 2021]] without notifying the international community. During discussions about the event in [[The Workshop]], it was suddenly revealed by PBoD member [[Tigres]] that the event was cancelled and that he wouldn't run it. This led to a scramble to organize it last-minute, resulting in [[Padrace]] taking up the reins of managing the event, with the website created by [[iColor]].<br />
<br />
Unlike the [[Pen Spinning World Cup 2020]], which allowed teams from specific recognized communities, WC22 allowed any team comprising of spinners from any community to sign up. This resulted in some of the strongest and weakest teams of any World Cup entering the competition. Notably, Final Boss and The Five Fingers of Sublime Pen were international teams with spinners hand-picked for competitive advantage. However, Team 🌺🌸🌹💐🌷 (nicknamed "Team Flower") comprised of spinners from the beginner to intermediate range, and caused controversy when their manager started arguing that the team deserved higher scores than one of the highest-scoring teams in the first round. The team came last place and the manager's comments were not supported by the rest of his team members.<br />
<br />
The final round exhibited [[multipen]] combos from V 0 1 D (Final Boss)<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iRjv2wCxfk Nine and V 0 1 D Duet for Final Boss round 4]</ref>, TUv4 (Eastern Reunion)<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQYFOSnLyNk TUv4 and Laku Duet for Eastern Reunion round 4]</ref> and Padrace (The Five Fingers of Sublime Pen)<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lu9UmGYH1s0 Padrace and DArKT Duet for The Five Fingers of Sublime Pen round 3]</ref>. This came as a surprise due to the technique's rarity in the prior rounds of the competition.<br />
<br />
==Scoring System==<br />
The competition had 7 themes, split into two main categories that shared point allocations, with one special theme, the '''Duet'''. <br />
===Difficulty Category: Complexity, Power, Taps & Counters===<br />
*Theme Scores:<br />
**Difficulty (15 points)<br />
**Originality (10 points)<br />
*General Scores:<br />
**Execution (10 points)<br />
**Construction (5 points)<br />
**Effectiveness (5 points)<br />
**Presentation (2 points)<br />
<br />
===Execution Category: Aestheticism, Wipers, 1P2H===<br />
*Theme Scores:<br />
**Execution (15 points)<br />
**Originality (10 points)<br />
*General Scores:<br />
**Difficulty (10 points)<br />
**Construction (5 points)<br />
**Effectiveness (5 points)<br />
**Presentation (2 points)<br />
<br />
The combos for [[Wipers]] are required to contain 80% wiper tricks, and [[1P2H]] combos are required to contain 50% 1P2H linkages.<br />
<br />
===Duet theme===<br />
*Duet-specific Scores:<br />
**Transition (2 points)<br />
**Theme (2 points)<br />
**Coherence (2 points)<br />
**Atmosphere (2 points)<br />
*General Scores:<br />
**Difficulty (10 points)<br />
**Execution (10 points)<br />
**Originality (10 points)<br />
**Construction (5 points)<br />
**Effectiveness (5 points)<br />
**Presentation (2 points)<br />
<br />
Total: 50 Points<br />
<br />
==Tournament Structure==<br />
The first round consists of a "Battle Royale" with the 5 non-substitute members of the teams all submitting one combo each to a Collaboration Video that is edited by one of the team members. This round is judged on the Duet category, and the rankings compiled so that the top 8 teams pass to the next round.<br />
<br />
For the remaining 3 rounds, single elimination matches are made where 3 themes are picked at random from the 6 main themes, and a duet theme of two spinners is present every round. The Duet is worth 2 points, and the remaining categories worth 1 point. The team that wins the most points between the 4 battles proceeds to the next round until a champion is determined.<br />

*[[kin]] ([[HKPSA]])<br />
*[[Tigres]] ([[UPSB]])<br />

'''Fen Spinner''' is an English-speaking [[Pen Spinning Community|pen spinning community]] created on July 30th, 2020 by [[Varoza]]. After frequent disagreements with staff from [[The Workshop]] leading up to September that year, Fen Spinner became public and the membership greatly increased, claiming to be a new community separate from those typically associated with [[UPSB]]. The community hub is primarily a public Discord server with a secondary website, [[Fen Spinner Wiki]]. The community participated in SpinFest 2021 and 2023, as well as the [[Pen Spinning World Cup 2022]], which it won.<br />
==History==<br />
Fen Spinner was established as a Discord server on 30 July 2020 to serve as a social hub for several members of the private team OPSD to interact with non-members. Initially characterized by minimal moderation and informal structure, the server functioned primarily as a casual hangout space.<br />
<br />
Prior to 11 September 2020, a series of long-standing tensions began to reshape the server’s direction. Prior disagreements had emerged between members of Fen Spinner and the administration of The Workshop, with criticisms directed at the latter’s approach to moderation. Concerns included perceived heavy-handed enforcement, lack of responsiveness to community feedback, and inconsistent application of rules. Although these critiques were largely dismissed at the time, they contributed to the eventual dissolution of The Workshop.<br />
<br />
The name "Fen Spinner" comes from the Fennec Fox<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fennec_fox Wikipedia article on Fennec Foxes]</ref>, the mascot animal of the community. The animal is sometimes referred to as a "Fen" and sounded similar to "Pen", so the community name was chosen as a pun.<br />
===Split from The Workshop===<br />
[[File:Fentember.jpg|thumb|200px|The September 11th 2020 call and the infamous "Fentember 11th" message]]On 11 September 2020, members of Fen Spinner initiated what became the largest voice call on The Workshop server, reaching the channel’s maximum capacity of 25 simultaneous users. Moderators declined invitations to participate. During the event, the #voice-text channel saw a surge in activity, with posts ranging from pen spinning discussions to unrelated content. Although memes and off-topic messages had appeared previously, the volume during this call was unprecedented.<br />
<br />
The administrator Coffeelucky requested that participants leave the channel and instead use a group chat call, which was limited to 10 users—less than half of those present. This suggestion was met with criticism, and the proposal later shifted to creating a new server entirely. During the call, concerns were raised about moderation practices, particularly the perception that enforcement disproportionately targeted specific individuals rather than applying consistent rules. A meme referencing the September 11 attacks was posted in relation to the event.<br />
<br />
The call continued into the early hours of 12 September. No immediate disciplinary actions were taken, but overnight, the administration issued bans, mutes, and warnings citing the generic reason of "Spam." Notably, Varoza was banned for seven days, and Zxntle was muted for 14 days. It took approximately two weeks for the community to uncover the specific reasons behind these actions. Many users criticized the vague and delayed explanations, which remained unclear until Varoza was unbanned.<br />
<br />
The administration later clarified that Zxntle had been muted for replying "bruh" to Coffeelucky, and that Varoza had been warned—not banned—for posting the offensive meme. The exact reason for Varoza’s ban remains unknown. Following the incident, moderator abc resigned. The administration alleged that abc had been harassed, though screenshots circulated showing abc engaging in personal attacks against other users. In the aftermath, several active members left The Workshop in protest. Some moderators, including DarKT, described the departing users as "troublemakers," despite one of them having previously been offered a moderator position.<br />
<br />
As a result of these events, a significant portion of the active English-speaking community migrated to Fen Spinner, which grew from approximately 10 members to several hundred.<br />
<br />
===SpinFest 2021===<br />
[[File:Fens1st.jpg|thumb|200px|Fen Spinner 1st Title screen]]In November 2020<ref>[https://twitter.com/Spinfest/status/1333090728273121280 Tweet announcing sign-ups for SpinFest 2021]</ref>, sign-ups for [[SpinFest 2021]] opened. Fen Spinner submitted to the draft and, after India's community applied late, made it into the lineup<ref>[https://twitter.com/Spinfest/status/1342137798065852416 Tweet showing Fen Spinner making it into SpinFest 2021]</ref>. Initial plans for a parody as the first video from Fen Spinner were quickly scrapped, with plans being drawn for a show of the community's ability. On April 12th 2021, after months of editing and filming, "Fen Spinner 1st" was released<ref>[https://twitter.com/Spinfest/status/1381843299435167745 Tweet of Fen Spinner 1st released to SpinFest]</ref> as the SpinFest submission, a surprise to detractors who claimed a troll CV would be submitted. Edited by Varoza, it featured extensive 3D graphics and special effects, and featured 11 spinners.<br />
<br />
===Further CVs and World Tournament 2021===<br />
A collaboration video was planned for a crossover with [[LSPSC]], but the project was suspended after LSPSC closed in July 2021. <br />
<br />
On July 30th 2021 a minicombo collaboration video "1 Year of Fen Spinner"<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QJPKzkpTmM 1 Year of Fen Spinner on YouTube]</ref> was released, with videos from many of the active Fen Spinner members.<br />
<br />
Fen Spinner expressed interest in joining the [[Pen Spinning World Tournament 2021]], but a decision by the [[Pen Spinning Board of Directors]] was made to lump the community in with [[The Workshop]] and those still identifying as [[UPSB]], with [[Padrace]] as manager and the community named as the '''English Speaking Pen-spinning Collective''' (ESPC). The rule itself currently only applies to Fen Spinner, and previous World Tournaments allowed new boards and boards split from other boards to sign up, famously Korean and German boards. Ultimately, a deal was made that allowed the combined English speaking community to enter more participants than defined in the rule book, with the following spinners entering A side from Fen Spinner:<ref>[https://wt21.worldps.org/participants/ WT21 Participants page on the website]</ref><br />
*[[Varoza]]<br />
*'''Pall'''<br />
*[[Allwars]]<br />
Pall came top 32, Allwars top 16 and Varoza top 8.<br />
<br />
In addition, '''Mervo''' entered World Tournament B side<ref>[https://wt21-b.worldps.org/participants/ WT21 B side Participants on the website]</ref> from Fen Spinner.<br />
<br />
===Spin Awards 2021===<br />
[[File:SpinAwards2021.JPG|thumb|200px|Spin Awards 2021 Branding]]<br />
With no members of the Spin Awards committee wishing to step up and run the event, Fen Spinner volunteered and ran Spin Awards 2021, using a complicated multiple choice voting system and a restyling of the event to look more professional. Among other changes, the event was restructured to have an individual representative and individual advisor from each community to handle fair voting, nominations and communicating the event with their own communities. <br />
<br />
Past Spin Awards had a limited set of representatives, typically limited to a friend group nature like the [[Pen Spinning Board of Directors]], and the list of award recipients was chosen by the event organizer, Coffeelucky, after some consultation. This made the past Spin Awards controversial as often individual candidates were missed in nominations and voting, with a heavy bias towards popular figures.<br />
<br />
The 2021 event also held voting in early 2022 in order to accurately receive combos later in the year from sources like the JapEn CV, which is typically released on Christmas day. Following this, the results compilation and editing process took until February 27th for the release of the awards, with some people such as Coffeelucky who had refused to assist the editing process complaining publicly about the internally communicated delays.<br />
<br />
All three award videos were released in February, with modding awards being published as an image result due to the editing workload not being assisted by any other Spin Awards representative:<br />
* [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0-lVu_WfGE Spinner of the Year 2021 | Spin Awards]<br />
* [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xA-c4uOTk0 Collab of the Year 2021 | Spin Awards]<br />
* [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJ5eC1VWQjg Spin Awards 2021 - Minor Awards]<br />
<br />
After the release of the videos, Fen Spinner announced stepping down from running Spin Awards, citing difficulties and political infighting bogging down the process of running the event. With no individuals willing to have Spin Awards handed off to them, the server was given to FPSB's Patchwork, and fell into disuse shortly after with the event no longer being held.<br />
<br />
===Leadership changes, World Cup 2022 and Pen Spinning Olympics 2022===<br />
In late 2021 a key change was [[Nine]] from [[UPSB]] joining Fen Spinner and soon making his way into the leadership of the community, with Allwars eventually departing the community for the second time. Originally Fen Spinner was to join with members of [[The Workshop]] to create a [[World Cup]] team, but the alliance was shaky and eventually broken by another Workshop conflict. The decision was made to form a new World Cup team consisting entirely of Fen Spinner members: '''Final Boss'''. Soon after these tensions resulted in Nine and Varoza being permanently banned from the workshop shortly after the tournament started.<br />
<br />
Final Boss came 3rd in the 1st round of the [[Pen Spinning World Cup 2022]], and defeated in all categories the strongest team from [[PSH]]: '''BlackMagic''' in round 2. In round 3, they defeated the rival team they originally split away from before the tournament: '''The Five Fingers of Sublime Pen''', captained by [[Padrace]]. Eventually, they would defeat [[JEB]]'s '''Eastern Reunion''' in the final round in all categories, winning the World Cup. The team's victories were particularly crushing as Final Boss won 14/15 round points, only losing a single battle in the event. The single lost battle was controversial, as Krogan was suggested to freestyle and troll his opponent on purpose while preparing for the next round, such was the confidence that Final Boss would win regardless.<br />
<br />
The Final Boss team members were as follows:<br />
*[[Varoza]]<br />
*[[Nine]]<br />
*Krogan (pseudonym of [[Barney]])<br />
*[[Vanilla]]<br />
*[[ZeGentleman]]<br />
*[[Saltient]] (substitute)<br />
ZeGentleman, the winner of the [[PSUK]] beginner's tournament, was notably only a 1 year [[prodigy]] spinner. He was swapped out for Saltient after round 2.<br />
<br />
In the [[Pen Spinning Olympics 2022]], Fen Spinner members [[Reboot]] and ZeGentleman entered the power category, with Reboot placing 1st and ZeGentleman 3rd. Barney entered the Wipers category as "KyorYuuNa", coming 4th place after not submitting for the final round.<br />
<br />
===Spinfest 2023, the rise of Spindys and fall of The Workshop===<br />
[[File:Fen2nd.JPG|thumb|200px|FEN 2ND Title screen]]<br />
The second official CV of the board, '''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RoyGJsclm_k FEN 2ND | Spinfest 2023]''' was released on June 25th, 2023, with a strong roster comprising almost all of the '''Final Boss''' team members and other Fen Spinner members. <br />
<br />
On its release the manager of the Spinfest Twitter account, Coffeelucky, shared it with a caption stating that the video had "Excessive bright flashing lights" advising people not to watch it. In fact, the CV had been screened to a member with photosensitive epilepsy beforehand and confirmed not to have any adverse effects before release.<br />
<br />
During this period the new community [[Spindys]] began to gain traction. Tilt, a Fen Spinner member for several years had started a YouTube channel that attracted many new spinners to the hobby. With the decline in activity in The Workshop, that same activity moved over to Spindys, with Fen Spinner and Spindys cooperating for the English-speaking pen spinning community. The Workshop would later close for good on October 20th, 2024.<br />
<br />
===World Tournament 2025===<br />
Several Fen Spinner members entered the [[Pen Spinning World Tournament 2025]], with their registered communities following their names:<br />
* [[Tilt]] (Spindys, Fen) - 3rd Place<br />
* [[Barney]] (Spindys) - Top 8<br />
* '''Levia''' (Independent) - Top 16<br />
* '''monsoon''' (PHPS) - Top 16<br />
* '''Apple''' (VNPS, Fen)<br />
Barney jokingly signed up under PSUKC, then Spindys under a fake name 'LimSeowon'.<br />

==Wiki==<br />
Fen Spinner Wiki is a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki MediaWiki] site created as a replacement for the long-defunct [[UPSB Wiki]] in early 2021. Over time, this grew to become the largest pen spinning wiki project ever made, dwarfing the original UPSB projects and other competitors. In 2025 a new responsive frontend and homepage was added to the wiki as part of a wider rollout of updates to the site.<br />

The name "Fen Spinner" comes from the Fennec Fox<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fennec_fox Wikipedia article on Fennec Foxes]</ref>, the mascot animal of the community. The animal is sometimes referred to as a "Fen" and sounded similar to "Pen", so the community name was chosen as a pun.<br />
===Split from The Workshop===<br />
[[File:Fentember.jpg|thumb|200px|The September 11th 2020 call and the infamous "Fentember 11th" message]]On 11 September 2020, members of Fen Spinner initiated what became the largest voice call on The Workshop server, reaching the channel’s maximum capacity of 25 simultaneous users. Moderators declined invitations to participate. During the event, the #voice-text channel saw a surge in activity, with posts ranging from pen spinning discussions to unrelated content. Although memes and off-topic messages had appeared previously, the volume during this call was unprecedented.<br />
<br />
The administrator Coffeelucky requested that participants leave the channel and instead use a group chat call, which was limited to 10 users—less than half of those present. This suggestion was met with criticism, and the proposal later shifted to creating a new server entirely. During the call, concerns were raised about moderation practices, particularly the perception that enforcement disproportionately targeted specific individuals rather than applying consistent rules. A meme referencing the September 11 attacks was posted in relation to the event.<br />
<br />
The call continued into the early hours of 12 September. No immediate disciplinary actions were taken, but overnight, the administration issued bans, mutes, and warnings citing the generic reason of "Spam." Notably, Varoza was banned for seven days, and Zxntle was muted for 14 days. It took approximately two weeks for the community to uncover the specific reasons behind these actions. Many users criticized the vague and delayed explanations, which remained unclear until Varoza was unbanned.<br />
<br />
The administration later clarified that Zxntle had been muted for replying "bruh" to Coffeelucky, and that Varoza had been warned—not banned—for posting the offensive meme. The exact reason for Varoza’s ban remains unknown. Following the incident, moderator abc resigned. The administration alleged that abc had been harassed, though screenshots circulated showing abc engaging in personal attacks against other users. In the aftermath, several active members left The Workshop in protest. Some moderators, including DarKT, described the departing users as "troublemakers," despite one of them having previously been offered a moderator position.<br />
<br />
As a result of these events, a significant portion of the active English-speaking community migrated to Fen Spinner, which grew from approximately 10 members to several hundred.<br />
<br />
===SpinFest 2021===<br />
[[File:Fens1st.jpg|thumb|200px|Fen Spinner 1st Title screen]]In November 2020<ref>[https://twitter.com/Spinfest/status/1333090728273121280 Tweet announcing sign-ups for SpinFest 2021]</ref>, sign-ups for [[SpinFest 2021]] opened. Fen Spinner submitted to the draft and, after India's community applied late, made it into the lineup<ref>[https://twitter.com/Spinfest/status/1342137798065852416 Tweet showing Fen Spinner making it into SpinFest 2021]</ref>. Initial plans for a parody as the first video from Fen Spinner were quickly scrapped, with plans being drawn for a show of the community's ability. On April 12th 2021, after months of editing and filming, "Fen Spinner 1st" was released<ref>[https://twitter.com/Spinfest/status/1381843299435167745 Tweet of Fen Spinner 1st released to SpinFest]</ref> as the SpinFest submission, a surprise to detractors who claimed a troll CV would be submitted. Edited by Varoza, it featured extensive 3D graphics and special effects, and featured 11 spinners.<br />
<br />
===Further CVs and World Tournament 2021===<br />
A collaboration video was planned for a crossover with [[LSPSC]], but the project was suspended after LSPSC closed in July 2021. <br />
<br />
On July 30th 2021 a minicombo collaboration video "1 Year of Fen Spinner"<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QJPKzkpTmM 1 Year of Fen Spinner on YouTube]</ref> was released, with videos from many of the active Fen Spinner members.<br />
<br />
Fen Spinner expressed interest in joining the [[Pen Spinning World Tournament 2021]], but a decision by the [[Pen Spinning Board of Directors]] was made to lump the community in with [[The Workshop]] and those still identifying as [[UPSB]], with [[Padrace]] as manager and the community named as the '''English Speaking Pen-spinning Collective''' (ESPC). The rule itself currently only applies to Fen Spinner, and previous World Tournaments allowed new boards and boards split from other boards to sign up, famously Korean and German boards. Ultimately, a deal was made that allowed the combined English speaking community to enter more participants than defined in the rule book, with the following spinners entering A side from Fen Spinner:<ref>[https://wt21.worldps.org/participants/ WT21 Participants page on the website]</ref><br />
*[[Varoza]]<br />
*'''Pall'''<br />
*[[Allwars]]<br />
Pall came top 32, Allwars top 16 and Varoza top 8.<br />
<br />
In addition, '''Mervo''' entered World Tournament B side<ref>[https://wt21-b.worldps.org/participants/ WT21 B side Participants on the website]</ref> from Fen Spinner.<br />
<br />
===Spin Awards 2021===<br />
[[File:SpinAwards2021.JPG|thumb|200px|Spin Awards 2021 Branding]]<br />
With no members of the Spin Awards committee wishing to step up and run the event, Fen Spinner volunteered and ran Spin Awards 2021, using a complicated multiple choice voting system and a restyling of the event to look more professional. Among other changes, the event was restructured to have an individual representative and individual advisor from each community to handle fair voting, nominations and communicating the event with their own communities. <br />
<br />
Past Spin Awards had a limited set of representatives, typically limited to a friend group nature like the [[Pen Spinning Board of Directors]], and the list of award recipients was chosen by the event organizer, Coffeelucky, after some consultation. This made the past Spin Awards controversial as often individual candidates were missed in nominations and voting, with a heavy bias towards popular figures.<br />
<br />
The 2021 event also held voting in early 2022 in order to accurately receive combos later in the year from sources like the JapEn CV, which is typically released on Christmas day. Following this, the results compilation and editing process took until February 27th for the release of the awards, with some people such as Coffeelucky who had refused to assist the editing process complaining publicly about the internally communicated delays.<br />
<br />
All three award videos were released in February, with modding awards being published as an image result due to the editing workload not being assisted by any other Spin Awards representative:<br />
* [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0-lVu_WfGE Spinner of the Year 2021 | Spin Awards]<br />
* [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xA-c4uOTk0 Collab of the Year 2021 | Spin Awards]<br />
* [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJ5eC1VWQjg Spin Awards 2021 - Minor Awards]<br />
<br />
After the release of the videos, Fen Spinner announced stepping down from running Spin Awards, citing difficulties and political infighting bogging down the process of running the event. With no individuals willing to have Spin Awards handed off to them, the server was given to FPSB's Patchwork, and fell into disuse shortly after with the event no longer being held.<br />
<br />
===Leadership changes, World Cup 2022 and Pen Spinning Olympics 2022===<br />
In late 2021 a key change was [[Nine]] from [[UPSB]] joining Fen Spinner and soon making his way into the leadership of the community, with Allwars eventually departing the community for the second time. Originally Fen Spinner was to join with members of [[The Workshop]] to create a [[World Cup]] team, but the alliance was shaky and eventually broken by another Workshop conflict. The decision was made to form a new World Cup team consisting entirely of Fen Spinner members: '''Final Boss'''. Soon after these tensions resulted in Nine and Varoza being permanently banned from the workshop shortly after the tournament started.<br />
<br />
Final Boss came 3rd in the 1st round of the [[Pen Spinning World Cup 2022]], and defeated in all categories the strongest team from [[PSH]]: '''BlackMagic''' in round 2. In round 3, they defeated the rival team they originally split away from before the tournament: '''The Five Fingers of Sublime Pen''', captained by [[Padrace]]. Eventually, they would defeat [[JEB]]'s '''Eastern Reunion''' in the final round in all categories, winning the World Cup. The team's victories were particularly crushing as Final Boss won 14/15 round points, only losing a single battle in the event. The single lost battle was controversial, as Krogan was suggested to freestyle and troll his opponent on purpose while preparing for the next round, such was the confidence that Final Boss would win regardless.<br />
<br />
The Final Boss team members were as follows:<br />
*[[Varoza]]<br />
*[[Nine]]<br />
*Krogan (pseudonym of [[Barney]])<br />
*[[Vanilla]]<br />
*[[ZeGentleman]]<br />
*[[Saltient]] (substitute)<br />
ZeGentleman, the winner of the [[PSUK]] beginner's tournament, was notably only a 1 year [[prodigy]] spinner. He was swapped out for Saltient after round 2.<br />
<br />
In the [[Pen Spinning Olympics 2022]], Fen Spinner members [[Reboot]] and ZeGentleman entered the power category, with Reboot placing 1st and ZeGentleman 3rd. Barney entered the Wipers category as "KyorYuuNa", coming 4th place after not submitting for the final round.<br />
<br />
===Spinfest 2023, the rise of Spindys and fall of The Workshop===<br />
[[File:Fen2nd.JPG|thumb|200px|FEN 2ND Title screen]]<br />
The second official CV of the board, '''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RoyGJsclm_k FEN 2ND | Spinfest 2023]''' was released on June 25th, 2023, with a strong roster comprising almost all of the '''Final Boss''' team members and other Fen Spinner members. <br />
<br />
On its release the manager of the Spinfest Twitter account, Coffeelucky, shared it with a caption stating that the video had "Excessive bright flashing lights" advising people not to watch it. In fact, the CV had been screened to a member with photosensitive epilepsy beforehand and confirmed not to have any adverse effects before release.<br />
<br />
During this period the new community [[Spindys]] began to gain traction. Tilt, a Fen Spinner member for several years had started a YouTube channel that attracted many new spinners to the hobby. With the decline in activity in The Workshop, that same activity moved over to Spindys, with Fen Spinner and Spindys cooperating for the English-speaking pen spinning community. The Workshop would later close for good on October 20th, 2024.<br />
<br />
===World Tournament 2025===<br />
Several Fen Spinner members entered the [[Pen Spinning World Tournament 2025]], with their registered community following their names:<br />
* [[Tilt]] (Spindys, Fen) - 3rd Place<br />
* [[Barney]] (Spindys) - Top 8<br />
* [[Levia]] (Independent) - Top 16<br />
* [[Apple]] (VNPS, Fen)<br />
Barney jokingly signed up under PSUKC, then Spindys under a fake name 'LimSeowon'.<br />
<br />

Fen Spinner Wiki is a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki MediaWiki] site created as a replacement for the long-defunct [[UPSB Wiki]] in early 2021. Over time, this grew to become the largest pen spinning wiki project ever made, dwarfing the original UPSB projects and other competitors. In 2025 a new responsive frontend and homepage was added to the wiki as part of a wider rollout of updates to the site.<br />

'''Fen Spinner''' is an English-speaking [[Pen Spinning Community|pen spinning community]] created on July 30th, 2020 by [[Varoza]]. After frequent disagreements with staff from [[The Workshop]] leading up to September that year, Fen Spinner became public and the membership greatly increased, claiming to be a new community separate from those typically associated with [[UPSB]]. The community hub is primarily a public Discord server with a secondary website, [[Fen Spinner Wiki]]. The community participated in SpinFest 2021 and 2023, as well as the [[Pen Spinning World Cup 2022]], which it won.<br />
==History==<br />
Fen Spinner was established as a Discord server on 30 July 2020 to serve as a social hub for several members of the private team OPSD to interact with non-members. Initially characterized by minimal moderation and informal structure, the server functioned primarily as a casual hangout space.<br />
<br />
Prior to 11 September 2020, a series of long-standing tensions began to reshape the server’s direction. Prior disagreements had emerged between members of Fen Spinner and the administration of The Workshop, with criticisms directed at the latter’s approach to moderation. Concerns included perceived heavy-handed enforcement, lack of responsiveness to community feedback, and inconsistent application of rules. Although these critiques were largely dismissed at the time, they contributed to the eventual dissolution of The Workshop.<br />

The administration later clarified that Zxntle had been muted for replying "bruh" to Coffeelucky, and that Varoza had been warned—not banned—for posting the offensive meme. The exact reason for Varoza’s ban remains unknown. Following the incident, moderator abc resigned. The administration alleged that abc had been harassed, though screenshots circulated showing abc engaging in personal attacks against other users. In the aftermath, several active members left The Workshop in protest. Some moderators, including DarKT, described the departing users as "troublemakers," despite one of them having previously been offered a moderator position.<br />
<br />
As a result of these events, a significant portion of the active English-speaking community migrated to Fen Spinner, which grew from approximately 10 members to several hundred.<br />

===SpinFest 2021===<br />

Edited by Varoza, it featured extensive 3D graphics and special effects, and featured 11 spinners.<br />
<br />
===Further CVs and World Tournament 2021===<br />
A collaboration video was planned for a crossover with [[LSPSC]], but the project was suspended after LSPSC closed in July 2021. <br />
<br />
On July 30th 2021 a minicombo collaboration video "1 Year of Fen Spinner"<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QJPKzkpTmM 1 Year of Fen Spinner on YouTube]</ref> was released, with videos from many of the active Fen Spinner members.<br />
<br />
Fen Spinner expressed interest in joining the [[Pen Spinning World Tournament 2021]], but a decision by the [[Pen Spinning Board of Directors]] was made to lump the community in with [[The Workshop]] and those still identifying as [[UPSB]], with [[Padrace]] as manager and the community named as the '''English Speaking Pen-spinning Collective''' (ESPC). The rule itself currently only applies to Fen Spinner, and previous World Tournaments allowed new boards and boards split from other boards to sign up, famously Korean and German boards. Ultimately, a deal was made that allowed the combined English speaking community to enter more participants than defined in the rule book, with the following spinners entering A side from Fen Spinner:<ref>[https://wt21.worldps.org/participants/ WT21 Participants page on the website]</ref><br />
*[[Varoza]]<br />
*'''Pall'''<br />
*[[Allwars]]<br />
Pall came top 32, Allwars top 16 and Varoza top 8.<br />
<br />
In addition, '''Mervo''' entered World Tournament B side<ref>[https://wt21-b.worldps.org/participants/ WT21 B side Participants on the website]</ref> from Fen Spinner.<br />
<br />
===Spin Awards 2021===<br />
[[File:SpinAwards2021.JPG|thumb|200px|Spin Awards 2021 Branding]]<br />
With no members of the Spin Awards committee wishing to step up and run the event, Fen Spinner volunteered and ran Spin Awards 2021, using a complicated multiple choice voting system and a restyling of the event to look more professional. Among other changes, the event was restructured to have an individual representative and individual advisor from each community to handle fair voting, nominations and communicating the event with their own communities. <br />
<br />
Past Spin Awards had a limited set of representatives, typically limited to a friend group nature like the [[Pen Spinning Board of Directors]], and the list of award recipients was chosen by the event organizer, Coffeelucky, after some consultation. This made the past Spin Awards controversial as often individual candidates were missed in nominations and voting, with a heavy bias towards popular figures.<br />
<br />
The 2021 event also held voting in early 2022 in order to accurately receive combos later in the year from sources like the JapEn CV, which is typically released on Christmas day. Following this, the results compilation and editing process took until February 27th for the release of the awards, with some people such as Coffeelucky who had refused to assist the editing process complaining publicly about the internally communicated delays.<br />
<br />
All three award videos were released in February, with modding awards being published as an image result due to the editing workload not being assisted by any other Spin Awards representative:<br />
* [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0-lVu_WfGE Spinner of the Year 2021 | Spin Awards]<br />

* [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJ5eC1VWQjg Spin Awards 2021 - Minor Awards]<br />
<br />
After the release of the videos, Fen Spinner announced stepping down from running Spin Awards, citing difficulties and political infighting bogging down the process of running the event. With no individuals willing to have Spin Awards handed off to them, the server was given to FPSB's Patchwork, and fell into disuse shortly after with the event no longer being held.<br />
<br />
===Leadership changes, World Cup 2022 and Pen Spinning Olympics 2022===<br />
In late 2021 a key change was [[Nine]] from [[UPSB]] joining Fen Spinner and soon making his way into the leadership of the community, with Allwars eventually departing the community for the second time. Originally Fen Spinner was to join with members of [[The Workshop]] to create a [[World Cup]] team, but the alliance was shaky and eventually broken by another Workshop conflict. The decision was made to form a new World Cup team consisting entirely of Fen Spinner members: '''Final Boss'''. Soon after these tensions resulted in Nine and Varoza being permanently banned from the workshop shortly after the tournament started.<br />
<br />
Final Boss came 3rd in the 1st round of the [[Pen Spinning World Cup 2022]], and defeated in all categories the strongest team from [[PSH]]: '''BlackMagic''' in round 2. In round 3, they defeated the rival team they originally split away from before the tournament: '''The Five Fingers of Sublime Pen''', captained by [[Padrace]]. Eventually, they would defeat [[JEB]]'s '''Eastern Reunion''' in the final round in all categories, winning the World Cup. The team's victories were particularly crushing as Final Boss won 14/15 round points, only losing a single battle in the event. The single lost battle was controversial, as Krogan was suggested to freestyle and troll his opponent on purpose while preparing for the next round, such was the confidence that Final Boss would win regardless.<br />
<br />
The Final Boss team members were as follows:<br />
*[[Varoza]]<br />
*[[Nine]]<br />
*Krogan (pseudonym of [[Barney]])<br />
*[[Vanilla]]<br />
*[[ZeGentleman]]<br />
*[[Saltient]] (substitute)<br />
ZeGentleman, the winner of the [[PSUK]] beginner's tournament, was notably only a 1 year [[prodigy]] spinner. He was swapped out for Saltient after round 2.<br />
<br />
In the [[Pen Spinning Olympics 2022]], Fen Spinner members [[Reboot]] and ZeGentleman entered the power category, with Reboot placing 1st and ZeGentleman 3rd. Barney entered the Wipers category as "KyorYuuNa", coming 4th place after not submitting for the final round.<br />
<br />
===Spinfest 2023, the rise of Spindys and fall of The Workshop===<br />
[[File:Fen2nd.JPG|thumb|200px|FEN 2ND Title screen]]<br />
The second official CV of the board, '''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RoyGJsclm_k FEN 2ND | Spinfest 2023]''' was released on June 25th, 2023, with a strong roster comprising almost all of the '''Final Boss''' team members and other Fen Spinner members. <br />
<br />
On its release the manager of the Spinfest Twitter account, Coffeelucky, shared it with a caption stating that the video had "Excessive bright flashing lights" advising people not to watch it. In fact, the CV had been screened to a member with photosensitive epilepsy beforehand and confirmed not to have any adverse effects before release.<br />
<br />
During this period the new community [[Spindys]] began to gain traction. Tilt, a Fen Spinner member for several years had started a YouTube channel that attracted many new spinners to the hobby. With the decline in activity in The Workshop, that same activity moved over to Spindys, with Fen Spinner and Spindys cooperating for the English-speaking pen spinning community. The Workshop would later close for good on October 20th, 2024.<br />
<br />
===World Tournament 2025===<br />
Several Fen Spinner members entered the [[Pen Spinning World Tournament 2025]]:<br />
* [[Tilt]]<br />
* [[Barney]]<br />
* [[Apple]]<br />
* [[Levia]]<br />
Tilt registered as Spindys and Fen Spinner, coming 3rd place. Barney jokingly signed up under PSUKC, then Spindys under a fake name 'LimSeowon', coming top 8. Levia registered as VNPS, coming top 16. Apple registered as VNPS and Fen Spinner.<br />
<br />
==Wiki==<br />
Fen Spinner Wiki is a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki MediaWiki] site created as a replacement for the long-defunct [[UPSB Wiki]] in early 2021. Over time, this grew to become the largest pen spinning wiki project ever made, dwarfing the original UPSB projects and other competitors. In 2025 a new responsive frontend and homepage was added to the wiki as part of a wider rollout of updates to the site.<br />

}}<br />
'''Fen Spinner''' is an English-speaking [[Pen Spinning Community|pen spinning community]] created on July 30th, 2020 by [[Varoza]]. After frequent disagreements with staff from [[The Workshop]] leading up to September that year, Fen Spinner became public and the membership greatly increased, claiming to be a new community separate from those typically associated with [[UPSB]]. The community hub is primarily a public Discord server with a secondary website, [[Fen Spinner Wiki]]. The community participated in SpinFest 2021 and 2023, as well as the [[Pen Spinning World Cup 2022]], which it won.<br />
==History==<br />
Fen Spinner was established as a Discord server on 30 July 2020 to serve as a social hub for several members of the private team OPSD to interact with non-members. Initially characterized by minimal moderation and informal structure, the server functioned primarily as a casual hangout space.<br />
<br />
Prior to 11 September 2020, a series of long-standing tensions began to reshape the server’s direction. Prior disagreements had emerged between members of Fen Spinner and the administration of The Workshop, with criticisms directed at the latter’s approach to moderation. Concerns included perceived heavy-handed enforcement, lack of responsiveness to community feedback, and inconsistent application of rules. Although these critiques were largely dismissed at the time, they contributed to the eventual dissolution of The Workshop.<br />
<br />
The name "Fen Spinner" comes from the Fennec Fox<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fennec_fox Wikipedia article on Fennec Foxes]</ref>, the mascot animal of the community. The animal is sometimes referred to as a "Fen" and sounded similar to "Pen", so the community name was chosen as a pun.<br />
===Split from The Workshop===<br />
[[File:Fentember.jpg|thumb|200px|The September 11th 2020 call and the infamous "Fentember 11th" message]]On 11 September 2020, members of Fen Spinner initiated what became the largest voice call on The Workshop server, reaching the channel’s maximum capacity of 25 simultaneous users. Moderators declined invitations to participate. During the event, the #voice-text channel saw a surge in activity, with posts ranging from pen spinning discussions to unrelated content. Although memes and off-topic messages had appeared previously, the volume during this call was unprecedented.<br />
<br />
The administrator Coffeelucky requested that participants leave the channel and instead use a group chat call, which was limited to 10 users—less than half of those present. This suggestion was met with criticism, and the proposal later shifted to creating a new server entirely. During the call, concerns were raised about moderation practices, particularly the perception that enforcement disproportionately targeted specific individuals rather than applying consistent rules. A meme referencing the September 11 attacks was posted in relation to the event.<br />
<br />
The call continued into the early hours of 12 September. No immediate disciplinary actions were taken, but overnight, the administration issued bans, mutes, and warnings citing the generic reason of "Spam." Notably, Varoza was banned for seven days, and Zxntle was muted for 14 days. It took approximately two weeks for the community to uncover the specific reasons behind these actions. Many users criticized the vague and delayed explanations, which remained unclear until Varoza was unbanned.<br />
<br />
The administration later clarified that Zxntle had been muted for replying "bruh" to Coffeelucky, and that Varoza had been warned—not banned—for posting the offensive meme. The exact reason for Varoza’s ban remains unknown. Following the incident, moderator abc resigned. The administration alleged that abc had been harassed, though screenshots circulated showing abc engaging in personal attacks against other users. In the aftermath, several active members left The Workshop in protest. Some moderators, including DarKT, described the departing users as "troublemakers," despite one of them having previously been offered a moderator position.<br />
<br />
As a result of these events, a significant portion of the active English-speaking community migrated to Fen Spinner, which grew from approximately 10 members to several hundred.<br />

<div>{{stub}}'''Diego 'RPD' González''' is a spinner from [[SPSC]] who gained international recognition for writing the book '''Pen Spinning History and Notation''', making contributions to pen spinning [[notation]] and [[multipen]] style, and a long-running competitive spinning career.<br />
<br />
==Pen Spinning History and Notation==<br />
RPD's magnum opus, '''Pen Spinning History and Notation''' is a 335-page book that describes pen spinning history up until 2021, as well as compiling all known notation systems and notation-related theories at the time of publishing. It also contains a "Trick Dictionary" that contains almost all known trick variations of the time with pictures and alternative names in other notation systems.<br />
<br />
The book took RPD 10 years to write and was originally written in Spanish, then eventually translated to English and French with the assistance of several volunteers.<br />
<br />
==Collaboration Video Appearances==<br />
RPD appeared in several notable CVs:<br />

<div>{{Tournament InfoBox|winner=Criswea|date=August 6 2025|participants=111|rounds=6|image={{#setmainimage:Wt25-logo.jpg}}}}The '''Pen Spinning World Tournament 2025''' was announced on July 19 2025<ref>[https://x.com/WorldPSEvents/status/1946374854430625917 @WorldPSEvents account on Twitter announcing the World Tournament 2025 on July 19]</ref>, with the participant signups deadline on August 6.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
==Scoring System==<br />
Videos are scored on a forty point scoring system split into four ten point categories, which themselves have three sub-criteria suggestions for guiding scoring in those categories:<br />
<br />
* Difficulty<br />
** Density<br />
** Timing-based difficulty<br />
** Precision-based difficulty<br />
* Execution<br />
** Control and hand motion<br />
** Effect and emphasis<br />
** Rotations and pen motion<br />
* Creativity<br />
** Original material or concepts<br />
** Inventive variations<br />
** Distinctive Identity<br />
* Construction<br />
** Complexity<br />
** Variety<br />
** Thematic Cohesion<br />
<br />
Scores could be incremented in half points for greater precision, and ties were not permitted in scoring.<br />
<br />
==Tournament Structure==<br />
The tournament consisted of six rounds, with the first two serving as group phases.<ref>[https://wt25.penspinning.world/#rulebook Pen Spinning World Tournament 2025 official rulebook]</ref> In the first group phase, all combos were considered part of a single group, and the top 32 spinners advanced to the next round. Placements were determined by averaging the ranks assigned by the judges.<br />
<br />
In the second group phase, serpentine seeding was used to place spinners into groups, aiming to distribute average performance levels evenly among members. This marked a significant change from previous World Tournaments, where initial group seeding had been random. The top four spinners in each group, based on average rank, progressed to the next round.<br />
<br />
From Round 3 onward, the remaining 16 contestants competed in a single‑elimination format for the final four rounds. Round 3 seeding matched participants ranked 1 against 4 and 2 against 3. In Round 4, winners from the 1‑versus‑4 battles were drawn at random against winners from the 2‑versus‑3 battles. Round 5 paired the winner of the Round 3 rank‑1 bracket with the winner of the Round 3 rank‑2 bracket. Round 6 featured the final two contestants in the title match, along with a third‑place battle between the semifinal losers.<br />

<div>{{Tournament InfoBox|winner=TBD|date=August 6 2025|participants=111|rounds=6|image={{#setmainimage:Wt25-logo.jpg}}}}The '''Pen Spinning World Tournament 2025''' was announced on July 19 2025<ref>[https://x.com/WorldPSEvents/status/1946374854430625917 @WorldPSEvents account on Twitter announcing the World Tournament 2025 on July 19]</ref>, with the participant signups deadline on August 6.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
==Scoring System==<br />
Videos are scored on a forty point scoring system split into four ten point categories, which themselves have three sub-criteria suggestions for guiding scoring in those categories:<br />
<br />
* Difficulty<br />
** Density<br />
** Timing-based difficulty<br />
** Precision-based difficulty<br />
* Execution<br />
** Control and hand motion<br />
** Effect and emphasis<br />
** Rotations and pen motion<br />
* Creativity<br />
** Original material or concepts<br />
** Inventive variations<br />
** Distinctive Identity<br />
* Construction<br />
** Complexity<br />
** Variety<br />
** Thematic Cohesion<br />
<br />
Scores could be incremented in half points for greater precision, and ties were not permitted in scoring.<br />
<br />
==Tournament Structure==<br />
The tournament consisted of six rounds, with the first two serving as group phases.<ref>[https://wt25.penspinning.world/#rulebook Pen Spinning World Tournament 2025 official rulebook]</ref> In the first group phase, all combos were considered part of a single group, and the top 32 spinners advanced to the next round. Placements were determined by averaging the ranks assigned by the judges.<br />
<br />
In the second group phase, serpentine seeding was used to place spinners into groups, aiming to distribute average performance levels evenly among members. This marked a significant change from previous World Tournaments, where initial group seeding had been random. The top four spinners in each group, based on average rank, progressed to the next round.<br />
<br />
From Round 3 onward, the remaining 16 contestants competed in a single‑elimination format for the final four rounds. Round 3 seeding matched participants ranked 1 against 4 and 2 against 3. In Round 4, winners from the 1‑versus‑4 battles were drawn at random against winners from the 2‑versus‑3 battles. Round 5 paired the winner of the Round 3 rank‑1 bracket with the winner of the Round 3 rank‑2 bracket. Round 6 featured the final two contestants in the title match, along with a third‑place battle between the semifinal losers.<br />

<div>{{Tournament InfoBox|winner=TBD|date=August 6 2025|participants=111|rounds=6|image={{#setmainimage:Wt25-logo.jpg}}}}The '''Pen Spinning World Tournament 2025''' was announced on July 19 2025<ref>[https://x.com/WorldPSEvents/status/1946374854430625917 @WorldPSEvents account on Twitter announcing the World Tournament 2025 on July 19]</ref>, with the participant signups deadline on August 6.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
==Scoring System==<br />
Videos are scored on a forty point scoring system split into four ten point categories, which themselves have three sub-criteria suggestions for guiding scoring in those categories:<br />
<br />
* Difficulty<br />
** Density<br />
** Timing-based difficulty<br />
** Precision-based difficulty<br />
* Execution<br />
** Control and hand motion<br />
** Effect and emphasis<br />
** Rotations and pen motion<br />
* Creativity<br />
** Original material or concepts<br />
** Inventive variations<br />
** Distinctive Identity<br />
* Construction<br />
** Complexity<br />
** Variety<br />
** Thematic Cohesion<br />
<br />
Scores could be incremented in half points for greater precision, and ties were not permitted in scoring.<br />
<br />
==Tournament Structure==<br />
The tournament consisted of six rounds, with the first two serving as group phases.<ref>[https://wt25.penspinning.world/#rulebook Pen Spinning World Tournament 2025 official rulebook]</ref> In the first group phase, all combos were considered part of a single group, and the top 32 spinners advanced to the next round. Placements were determined by averaging the ranks assigned by the judges.<br />
<br />
In the second group phase, serpentine seeding was used to place spinners into groups, aiming to distribute average performance levels evenly among members. This marked a significant change from previous World Tournaments, where initial group seeding had been random. The top four spinners in each group, based on average rank, progressed to the next round.<br />
<br />
From Round 3 onward, the remaining 16 contestants competed in a single‑elimination format for the final four rounds. Round 3 seeding matched participants ranked 1 against 4 and 2 against 3. In Round 4, winners from the 1‑versus‑4 battles were drawn at random against winners from the 2‑versus‑3 battles. Round 5 paired the winner of the Round 3 rank‑1 bracket with the winner of the Round 3 rank‑2 bracket. Round 6 featured the final two contestants in the title match, along with a third‑place battle between the semifinal losers.<br />

<div>{{Tournament InfoBox|winner=TBD|date=August 6 2025|participants=111|rounds=6|image={{#setmainimage:Wt25-logo.jpg}}}}The '''Pen Spinning World Tournament 2025''' was announced on July 19 2025<ref>[https://x.com/WorldPSEvents/status/1946374854430625917 @WorldPSEvents account on Twitter announcing the World Tournament 2025 on July 19]</ref>, with the participant signups deadline on August 6.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
==Scoring System==<br />
Videos are scored on a forty point scoring system split into four ten point categories, which themselves have three sub-criteria suggestions for guiding scoring in those categories:<br />
<br />
* Difficulty<br />
** Density<br />
** Timing-based difficulty<br />
** Precision-based difficulty<br />
* Execution<br />
** Control and hand motion<br />
** Effect and emphasis<br />
** Rotations and pen motion<br />
* Creativity<br />
** Original material or concepts<br />
** Inventive variations<br />
** Distinctive Identity<br />
* Construction<br />
** Complexity<br />
** Variety<br />
** Thematic Cohesion<br />
<br />
Scores could be incremented in half points for greater precision, and ties were not permitted in scoring.<br />
<br />
==Tournament Structure==<br />
The tournament consisted of six rounds, with the first two serving as group phases.<ref>[https://wt25.penspinning.world/#rulebook Pen Spinning World Tournament 2025 official rulebook]</ref> In the first group phase, all combos were considered part of a single group, and the top 32 spinners advanced to the next round. Placements were determined by averaging the ranks assigned by the judges.<br />
<br />
In the second group phase, serpentine seeding was used to place spinners into groups, aiming to distribute average performance levels evenly among members. This marked a significant change from previous World Tournaments, where initial group seeding had been random. The top four spinners in each group, based on average rank, progressed to the next round.<br />
<br />
From Round 3 onward, the remaining 16 contestants competed in a single‑elimination format for the final four rounds. Round 3 seeding matched participants ranked 1 against 4 and 2 against 3. In Round 4, winners from the 1‑versus‑4 battles were drawn at random against winners from the 2‑versus‑3 battles. Round 5 paired the winner of the Round 3 rank‑1 bracket with the winner of the Round 3 rank‑2 bracket. Round 6 featured the final two contestants in the title match, along with a third‑place battle between the semifinal losers.<br />

<div>{{Tournament InfoBox|winner=TBD|date=August 6 2025|participants=111|rounds=6|image={{#setmainimage:Wt25-logo.jpg}}}}The '''Pen Spinning World Tournament 2025''' was announced on July 19 2025<ref>[https://x.com/WorldPSEvents/status/1946374854430625917 @WorldPSEvents account on Twitter announcing the World Tournament 2025 on July 19]</ref>, with the participant signups deadline on August 6.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
==Scoring System==<br />
Videos are scored on a forty point scoring system split into four ten point categories, which themselves have three sub-criteria suggestions for guiding scoring in those categories:<br />
<br />
* Difficulty<br />
** Density<br />
** Timing-based difficulty<br />
** Precision-based difficulty<br />
* Execution<br />
** Control and hand motion<br />
** Effect and emphasis<br />
** Rotations and pen motion<br />
* Creativity<br />
** Original material or concepts<br />
** Inventive variations<br />
** Distinctive Identity<br />
* Construction<br />
** Complexity<br />
** Variety<br />
** Thematic Cohesion<br />
<br />
Scores could be incremented in half points for greater precision, and ties were not permitted in scoring.<br />
<br />
==Tournament Structure==<br />
The tournament consisted of six rounds, with the first two serving as group phases.<ref>[https://wt25.penspinning.world/#rulebook Pen Spinning World Tournament 2025 official rulebook]</ref> In the first group phase, all combos were considered part of a single group, and the top 32 spinners advanced to the next round. Placements were determined by averaging the ranks assigned by the judges.<br />
<br />
In the second group phase, serpentine seeding was used to place spinners into groups, aiming to distribute average performance levels evenly among members. This marked a significant change from previous World Tournaments, where initial group seeding had been random. The top four spinners in each group, based on average rank, progressed to the next round.<br />
<br />
From Round 3 onward, the remaining 16 contestants competed in a single‑elimination format for the final four rounds. Round 3 seeding matched participants ranked 1 against 4 and 2 against 3. In Round 4, winners from the 1‑versus‑4 battles were drawn at random against winners from the 2‑versus‑3 battles. Round 5 paired the winner of the Round 3 rank‑1 bracket with the winner of the Round 3 rank‑2 bracket. Round 6 featured the final two contestants in the title match, along with a third‑place battle between the semifinal losers.<br />

<div>{{Tournament InfoBox|winner=TBD|date=August 6 2025|participants=111|rounds=6|image={{#setmainimage:Wt25-logo.jpg}}}}The '''Pen Spinning World Tournament 2025''' was announced on July 19 2025<ref>[https://x.com/WorldPSEvents/status/1946374854430625917 @WorldPSEvents account on Twitter announcing the World Tournament 2025 on July 19]</ref>, with the participant signups deadline on August 6.<br />

==History==<br />
<br />
==Scoring System==<br />
Videos are scored on a forty point scoring system split into four ten point categories, which themselves have three sub-criteria suggestions for guiding scoring in those categories:<br />
<br />
* Difficulty<br />
** Density<br />
** Timing-based difficulty<br />
** Precision-based difficulty<br />
* Execution<br />
** Control and hand motion<br />
** Effect and emphasis<br />
** Rotations and pen motion<br />
* Creativity<br />
** Original material or concepts<br />
** Inventive variations<br />
** Distinctive Identity<br />
* Construction<br />
** Complexity<br />
** Variety<br />
** Thematic Cohesion<br />
<br />
Scores could be incremented in half points for greater precision, and ties were not permitted in scoring.<br />
<br />
==Tournament Structure==<br />
The tournament consisted of six rounds, with the first two serving as group phases.<ref>[https://wt25.penspinning.world/#rulebook Pen Spinning World Tournament 2025 official rulebook]</ref> In the first group phase, all combos were considered part of a single group, and the top 32 spinners advanced to the next round. Placements were determined by averaging the ranks assigned by the judges.<br />
<br />
In the second group phase, serpentine seeding was used to place spinners into groups, aiming to distribute average performance levels evenly among members. This marked a significant change from previous World Tournaments, where initial group seeding had been random. The top four spinners in each group, based on average rank, progressed to the next round.<br />
<br />
From Round 3 onward, the remaining 16 contestants competed in a single‑elimination format for the final four rounds. Round 3 seeding matched participants ranked 1 against 4 and 2 against 3. In Round 4, winners from the 1‑versus‑4 battles were drawn at random against winners from the 2‑versus‑3 battles. Round 5 paired the winner of the Round 3 rank‑1 bracket with the winner of the Round 3 rank‑2 bracket. Round 6 featured the final two contestants in the title match, along with a third‑place battle between the semifinal losers.<br />

<div>{{Tournament InfoBox|winner=TBD|date=August 6 2025|participants=111|rounds=6|image={{#setmainimage:Wt25-logo.jpg}}}}The '''Pen Spinning World Tournament 2025''' was announced on July 19 2025<ref>[https://x.com/WorldPSEvents/status/1946374854430625917 @WorldPSEvents account on Twitter announcing the World Tournament 2025 on July 19]</ref>, with the participant signups deadline on August 6.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
==Scoring System==<br />
Videos are scored on a forty point scoring system split into four ten point categories, which themselves have three sub-criteria suggestions for guiding scoring in those categories:<br />
<br />
* Difficulty<br />
** Density<br />
** Timing-based difficulty<br />
** Precision-based difficulty<br />
* Execution<br />
** Control and hand motion<br />
** Effect and emphasis<br />
** Rotations and pen motion<br />
* Creativity<br />
** Original material or concepts<br />
** Inventive variations<br />
** Distinctive Identity<br />
* Construction<br />
** Complexity<br />
** Variety<br />
** Thematic Cohesion<br />
<br />
Scores could be incremented in half points for greater precision, and ties were not permitted in scoring.<br />
<br />
==Tournament Structure==<br />
The tournament consisted of six rounds, with the first two serving as group phases.<ref>[https://wt25.penspinning.world/#rulebook Pen Spinning World Tournament 2025 official rulebook]</ref> In the first group phase, all combos were considered part of a single group, and the top 32 spinners advanced to the next round. Placements were determined by averaging the ranks assigned by the judges.<br />
<br />
In the second group phase, serpentine seeding was used to place spinners into groups, aiming to distribute average performance levels evenly among members. This marked a significant change from previous World Tournaments, where initial group seeding had been random. The top four spinners in each group, based on average rank, progressed to the next round.<br />
<br />
From Round 3 onward, the remaining 16 contestants competed in a single‑elimination format for the final four rounds. Round 3 seeding matched participants ranked 1 against 4 and 2 against 3. In Round 4, winners from the 1‑versus‑4 battles were drawn at random against winners from the 2‑versus‑3 battles. Round 5 paired the winner of the Round 3 rank‑1 bracket with the winner of the Round 3 rank‑2 bracket. Round 6 featured the final two contestants in the title match, along with a third‑place battle between the semifinal losers.<br />

<div>{{Tournament InfoBox|winner=TBD|date=August 6 2025|participants=111|rounds=6|image={{#setmainimage:Wt25-logo.jpg}}}}The '''Pen Spinning World Tournament 2025''' was announced on July 19 2025<ref>[https://x.com/WorldPSEvents/status/1946374854430625917 @WorldPSEvents account on Twitter announcing the World Tournament 2025 on July 19]</ref>, with the participant signups deadline on August 6.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
==Scoring System==<br />
Videos are scored on a forty point scoring system split into four ten point categories, which themselves have three sub-criteria suggestions for guiding scoring in those categories:<br />
<br />
* Difficulty<br />
** Density<br />
** Timing-based difficulty<br />
** Precision-based difficulty<br />
* Execution<br />
** Control and hand motion<br />
** Effect and emphasis<br />
** Rotations and pen motion<br />
* Creativity<br />
** Original material or concepts<br />
** Inventive variations<br />
** Distinctive Identity<br />
* Construction<br />
** Complexity<br />
** Variety<br />
** Thematic Cohesion<br />
<br />
Scores could be incremented in half points for greater precision, and ties were not permitted in scoring.<br />
<br />
==Tournament Structure==<br />
The tournament consisted of six rounds, with the first two serving as group phases.<ref>[https://wt25.penspinning.world/#rulebook Pen Spinning World Tournament 2025 official rulebook]</ref> In the first group phase, all combos were considered part of a single group, and the top 32 spinners advanced to the next round. Placements were determined by averaging the ranks assigned by the judges.<br />
<br />
In the second group phase, serpentine seeding was used to place spinners into groups, aiming to distribute average performance levels evenly among members. This marked a significant change from previous World Tournaments, where initial group seeding had been random. The top four spinners in each group, based on average rank, progressed to the next round.<br />
<br />
From Round 3 onward, the remaining 16 contestants competed in a single‑elimination format for the final four rounds. Round 3 seeding matched participants ranked 1 against 4 and 2 against 3. In Round 4, winners from the 1‑versus‑4 battles were drawn at random against winners from the 2‑versus‑3 battles. Round 5 paired the winner of the Round 3 rank‑1 bracket with the winner of the Round 3 rank‑2 bracket. Round 6 featured the final two contestants in the title match, along with a third‑place battle between the semifinal losers.<br />
