[QUOTE="(un)reason, post: 7526641, member: 27780"] Yeah, this is actually the canon answer. If you look at the behaviour of the petitioners, the original theme of the plane is Betrayal. They got there because they betrayed someone or something, forming a relationship with them, then :):):):)ing them over. (This also includes betraying yourself, like people who lie, cheat, steal, and generally screw people over because they themselves are slaves to some kind of addiction.) The forming of superficial relationships is what distinguishes them from the abyssal inhabitants, who are more likely to just try and kill, eat, or exploit you straight away, without forming any bond to be betrayed in the first place. The plane was then repurposed as one of imprisonment as well by the greek gods because the constant betrayal makes it near impossible to get people to work together and accomplish any long-term goal there, which definitely makes escape much harder.
