Thread: I'm about "Avengered Out"! (modding the Duncan Avenger)

Modfather, you are being a little ridiculous. You're gonna have to earn your way into the modding community like everyone else.

But Icthus, give the guy a break, he's new, hes just asking for some advice on some different mods.

Thank You, Paul. I see you have some class, and I know what you're saying.

I really could care less about what Icthus says about my mods....he and I get into it every now and again! For the most part, its all in good fun.

I wish I could divulge the reason for the questions....but, I'm sworn to secrecy. Sorry. Just trust me when I say....honest answers are in EVERYONES best interest.

Yeah, I know! LOL!

I'll talk with y'all tomorrow!

I count the minutes.....

I'll count my key strokes!

You KNEW BETTER than to mess with the MODFATHER!

There's only one on that list that is better for sure. I'll get back to you when I can see the capabilities of the others' work.

Good Boy. Sit Ubu, Sit. Good Dog.

It's my turn...

Hm... I don't know who you are but lets get one thing perfectly clear.

My name is IV, I've been at theyo for some time now; I've seen a few things, heard a few rumors, told a few tales; some tall; some short. That's really beside the point. You see, skippy you just happen to be dancing on my turf a little bit. In case you haven't noticed, you aren't the first person to waltz in thinking you can just piss everyone off and get away with it.

OH
nononononononono....no.

See, you're sort of trespassing on my little niche here and I really don't like it. As far as I'm concerned I'm the only one worthy to piss off the entire forum and get away with it a week later. I really don't think you have that ability, and here's why.

1. You pissed off Kyle and Icthus, very bad choice and a horrible thing to do.
2. You pissed off Isaac, a very valued member and an excellent trader.
3. You pissed off me, just who do you think you are? I'm supposed to be the one pissing people off.

See, logically speaking you're pissing off the people that piss people off, which all you're really doing is putting cheap liver tea all over the walls and no one likes that. We'll have to clean it off and...

I'm rambling again...

damnit...

What was I saying again?
*checks his notes*
oh yeah.

4. You made Yomike merge a thread! This is a tightly knit group of fine individuals we have here, sir and we almost never

ever...errr...ever...ver...v...ever have to close, delete or move or merge a thread.

Do you want to know why, because that's just how it is, man! You're screwing up the natural order of the forum and whatnot! I mean... icthus is telling you off, man... that should be a sign of something.

5. I didn't really have anything for five, I just thought five was a good number to end this thing... four isn't a good list at all, it's an even number... although so is ten. It's a little odd how five isn't an even number yet ten is... so that five plus five equals ten but somehow five isn't an even number... so how can two odds make an even? Well I guess seven is odd and it plus seven is also fourteen. Fourteen is an even number as well. I think it stops there, wait... no because nine plus nine is eighteen and eighteen is an even number, eleven isn't though, and eleven plus eleven is twenty two... so I don't guess it's completely limited that odd numbers can't multiply by two to equal even numbers.

You get where I'm going with this, don't you? It's all right here, I've been watching you, as you can see I'm a very bored person. I don't have...

My hand smells like baloney.

...If... if you read it like Dr. Orpheus it sounds a lot funnier.

I'm really not trying to be a dick here, but why the cockiness Modfather? Seriously, you're challenging people to a "mod-off" and talking about your mods like you're God Almighty, yet you barely have anything beyond a silicone recess to show off to anyone.

It's not just in this post either, it's in nearly every thread that you participate in. You're saying this and that about how talented you are when it comes to modding and how good your work is, but no one else is saying the same things. You've named yourself "Modfather" so right off the bat you're coming at everyone else like your mods are superior to all others. Even your album mentions "precision modded yoyo's" yet everything in the album is nothing more than what can be done with a drill and a sharpened screwdriver.

I'm not saying that it's not true about your work, but when you've got the kind of talent that you're talking about, you dont have to say ANYTHING about your mods. They speak for themselves and others do the talking for you.

Stop trying to prove yourself so hard.

When people post mods they've done and I'm not especially impressed by them, I dont comment on them. But when people come across like you have, I'll throw in my 2 cents for what it's worth.

Paul summed it up quite nicely...

He's a master machinist, and he's a smart guy.


You seem to be an amateur idiot.
Please, instead of spending your time tuning a toy for pretentious rights. Go tune your attitude and try to relocate some value other than trying to present yourself with a billboard. You come off as being a pathetic human being at this moment.

AND None of them Tell me how to Cut a Freaking Yoyo. WTF.. Have fun modding, who cares who cuts cleaner or better. Just Cut it, post it and give a review or something. Its just a waste of a forum.
Just my cents.

Wait... what?

I just posted pics of them and let the people say and think what they wanted. I didn't push it down anyone page or anything like that. AND I don't run around saying "check my album". I am also on the trusted modders list. I didn't ask to be put there. the people that know my work put me there. Do you get it now?


I'm starting to sound like Kyle! lol

Where did I ever question you with a lathe and a yo-yo? Where did I ever say you didn't know anything? Your reaction says a lot more about you than it does about me.

By the way - Do you know the ModFather? No. You don't know who he is. I do, so you have no moral high ground here. You tried to chastise me for putting down your modding (which I didn't do) without KNOWING who you are and what you do, and yet you get to put someone down without KNOWING who he is and what he does? I guess it is "do as I say and not as I do" for you, then. Hypocrisy sucks.

Do I get it now? Ha! No, do you get it now? Don't put words in my mouth, then get mad at me for saying them. I never put your modding skills down or insulted you.

I suggested that maybe taking a shot at someone in public when all he did was ask a question was a little rude.

This thread did exactly what I thought it would after that. Right down the toilet. It could have been pretty interesting, so I will add something to try and get it back on track. Something probably stupid, but this is what I thought of when I first saw the Avenger.

Cut out the middle of an avenger, then add the leftover rims to another avenger. Make it almost twice as wide, then cut it down to open up the gap around the edge of the yo-yo. Expanging the gap around the edges to make it almost butterfly-shaped. If you did it right, you could almost eliminate the seam between the two connected rims. You would probably have to give the cut-off rims something like a schmoove ring before you attached them so they would fit on the other rims.

It's radical, but I don't mod much. Not sure it is possible (adhesive? screws? how would the cut-off rims attach?) but something to think about. Expand that thing width-wise.

Could you get metal rims a la dark magic on an avenger?

The best use for an avenger is to use the hubs to fix a cracked hub YYJ - aka FrankenYoYo - Hitman Avenged

......

So much ignorance and intelligence in one thread, I love it. Where is Kyle when you need him? Also Iky, to that list you've got on post #11, you could add Jeff Pang.

EDIT: Also, Modfather, how can you say you're one of the best when you don't even know what everyone else can do? Have you seen any of Iky's work? Well I have, everything he's ever done, and it's ALL legit. Have you seen any of Jeff Pangs work? His Hubstacked Peak plays outstandingly well. Have you seen any of Luke Vader's work? I've never seen anything he's done that doesn't make me drool. You come off VERY cocky, and what do you have to show for it? Nothing I can find, I've searched (holy crap I used the search function!!) for your album, but where is this album? I can't find it. If you could link me, I'd be happy to look at the mods you have pictures of that you are so arrogant about. So please, enlighten me.

"modfather"
you sir, are a douche bag...
i saw you pictures, and honestly, theres nothing special. and the main thing i agree with icthus on is the fact that you keep making threads on your "mods".
the worst part is, you are a total ass about everything.
seriously.
would it kill you to be a little less self righteous?

C'mon folks, turn up the air conditioner and chill.

It's far too hot for this.

Click his name to go to his profile. His album will be on the right hand side.

Can we get an IP check on Jakewillhestopsuckingup and the Moderf*er ?

Smells like ugly chestpounding trolls here.

You have to think what this looks like when someone new reads the first two posts of this thread.

Can you specifically point out what I have said which is inflammatory or wrong?

Let me quote you on why I said that.

I know -I am new here, too (although I am on a few other forums) and I have no credibility yet, but I know the real person behind the screenname. I would suggest backing off a little and if you don't like something, attack what is said, not the person posting it. You really don't add anything when you say stuff like your post above. It's off-topic and completely unnecessary. Do you have any ideas on modding an avenger? No? OK, then don't assume you understand someone's motivation, and just ignore it.



I would suggest that if he was truly trying to help, maybe he should send over a PM instead of a snide public comment.

This forum is pretty nasty, and it's annoying.

Also about this.

Could you get metal rims a la dark magic on an avenger?

Why would I want to. That would make a rediculous yoyo. But how about these?

Make sure you judge the yoyo not the photo quality.

FHZ with X-convict rings.


SHINTU. Shinwoo Phantom with Minimotu rings and cut down caps to fit.





Pad recessede KYO Immortalis II pad recessed.



How about some Buzz-on rings in a metal zero? Which also happens to be sili'd and schmooved.



Now for the DM rings. FHZ with DM rings on it. I don't put stuff on crap. I use real yoyo's!!!




I really hope this answer's your doubt about my ability.
