Wondering what the Avernus meant? - Explanation here...

Lilith Nessus Joined: January 2002 Posts: 9249 Location: NY, USA Gender:	For those of you wondering what 'Avernus' and some of the other titles above the member avatars were... here's the explanation: We've divided the Member titles into the 9 layers of Hell. The more you post, the deeper you descend into Hell. Nessus is achieved after 2500 posts, so get cracking! Avernus, Dis, Minauros, Phlegethos, Stygia, Malbolge, Maladomini, Cania and Nessus. _________________ Webmistress @ GOTH.NET SarChasm (n.)

You better leave all my avatars alone though! Painstakingly PhotoShop'd... well... except for the smiley ones. Lilith _________________ Webmistress @ GOTH.NET SarChasm (n.)

Considering you spent forever coming up with a ranking system... senior citizen would be right :p . We spent all of 15 minutes brainstorming. Ravers are weaklings, we are well protected against them. As an aside... I only realised after asking you if I needed to name the layers of hell that I'd already put that in the initial post. Doh!

Seraphim Malbolge Joined: February 2002 Posts: 329 Gender:	I figured out what the ranking system referred to before even reading this post! I rule! (Actually, 1rst Edition AD&D (otherwise known as the Satanic Edition) is quite accurate.) Oh, by the way Lilith, according to 3rd Edition D&D (which I like significantly less than 1rst Ed. AD&D), you rule the Sixth Plane of Hell. Although I always thought of Lilith as a misunderstood serpent with potential to be quite the feminist.... My current avatar rules Avernus in 1rst Ed., but Baal takes her place in 3rd.... Of course, a moderator dwells in Nessus even if they only have 15 posts.... Thine for eternity, Seraphim (who likes their Devils unfettered, for it is more honourable to slay them that way) _________________ We're living in the dark future....

Well, I'm more named for the biblical Lilith actually, first wife of Adam. Eve was the third. Lilith _________________ Webmistress @ GOTH.NET SarChasm (n.)

Seraphim Malbolge Joined: February 2002 Posts: 329 Gender:	Ah, that was what I assumed. In fact, that is one of the reasons why I prefer 1rst Ed to 3rd: they assume that Lilith is a devil for 'opposing God' when in fact I find her quite sympathetic.
