I’m in the circle of Hell where it tells me that their server got creamed, so it’s temporarily down, and please check back later. Did they get slash-doped? :eek: ---

I’m in the City of Dis (level 6) too! I rather like being a heretic. (was sceptical on all the religious questions) I was high on ‘gloomy and wrathful’ though, and that’s rather cool I think! 🙂 Mmmmm…I feel like being Wrathful and gloomy today! ---

I got the city of dis… and I get stuck in a tomb. Anyways, if hell’s all firey, why’s the ninth level cold? ---

HERETIC! BURN HE/SHE/IT! anyways, the real reason you get that is because you don’t believe in god. Might be some other group, but I think it’s just the atheists… ---

By posting this late in the thread, I’ll probably kill it. But who cares? I am in Level 7 already! Woo Hoo! It can go only downhill from here. Does anybody else think the descriptions sound rather like a role-playing game? I probably did something like this: **The City of Dis** You approach Satan’s wretched city where you behold a wide plain surrounded by iron walls. Before you are fields full of distress and torment terrible. There is a small lamp here. \>pick up lamp Lamp taken. \>down You continue down to the 7th level. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by flodnak \* > **I’m in the circle of Hell where it tells me that their server got creamed, so it’s temporarily down, and please check back later.** So it’s only fitting that when I finally _did_ get through, I ended up in Limbo! 😛 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by DreadCthulhu \* > Don’t worry, all those going to hell. Just find this Italian guy named Benny, he can help get you out. 🙂 I hear no one’s seen Benny around lately. Maybe they should hook up with that geeky guy, Allan, instead. 🙂 I’m headed for Limbo, myself. I think I’ll like it there–lots of cool people to hang out with. Frankly, I think it’s a better deal than Heaven. ---

I’m a pretty average, well-rounded kinda sinner. No “extremes” or “very highs” for me. All the same, the powers that be still found me worthy of banishment to Level 2. Bring on the smiting and the molesting, I say! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/which-circle-of-hell-are-you-going-to/172083.md?page=4)
