Ultraviolet Posted August 17, 2003 I was talking to Doomboy on AIM and he reminded me of an old forum user TheHighestTree... I suddenly remembered that it was HE that had the originally widespread imp-sex avatar reference, and this was long before Taylor's fanfic! TheHighestTree had the Doomguy standing behind a slightly forward-bent imp with "I <3 U" written down the right side of the image. This hasn't been commonly recognized as part of imp-sex history by anyone that I know of. Of course, even before that there was the old joke about the imp's clearly visible fuckhole once you kill it... can anyone provide me with the FIRST occurence of that quote with a timestamp and perhaps even the month/day/year? I want to write an official imp-sex history piece for impse.cx. Hopefully they'd even accept it and put it up as something like "the history of imp sexuality." - (Would like to know for this when id first designed the imp's concept work. Anybody know who to ask?) - 1993: Doom's imp is publically revealed - 19xx: (Imp-fuckhole quote here) - 19xx (please supply year of TheHighestTree's first post): Dashiva, in the form of "TheHighestTree," unleashes imp-sex reference avatar. - 200x: Taylor's imp-sex fanfic - 200x: IMPSE.CX jokes and eventual registration of domain IMPSE.CX. I need dates and not just the years if possible, please. Once this time--line is relatively complete it would be cool if it could be made sticky and closed and stay in the forums as a TRUE imp-sex reference. Please pitch in! EDIT: I do believe Planet of the Imps had some imp-sex references, but I don't know when that started or when those particular references were made. 0 Share this post Link to post

Sharessa Posted August 17, 2003 1. Who cares? 2. Since when has TheHighestTree been Dashiva? 3. Wasn't the avatar around before him? 0 Share this post Link to post

sargebaldy Posted August 17, 2003 the_Danarchist said:2. Since when has TheHighestTree been Dashiva?heh, i didn't know i was the only one who knew that. when i first got on IRC, 'thehighesttree' wanted me to join his project. he showed me his maps and stuff, and then i didn't see him for about 6 months or more. then dashiva popped up showing screenshots of his new wad, which happened to be the same one i tested earlier. so i guess that's another name everyone can tack onto their 'big long list of dashiva aliases'. 0 Share this post Link to post

Grazza Posted August 17, 2003 I wish you luck with this important research. I'm not too sure how you might pin down the exact date that Imp Encounter first appeared, but Taylor's registration date and the first non-deleted reference to the fanfic in these forums should narrow it down quite well. Once you have some answers, remember to add an entry for impse in Urban Dictionary. 0 Share this post Link to post

But not tonight. 0 Share this post Link to post

Draconio Posted August 17, 2003 Yes indeed, just like crap PWADs are somehow "funny", so are all the crap posts of Doomworld. Well, actually, some of the Post Hell posts are actually funny. I was being sarcastic about the PWADs though. 0 Share this post Link to post
