Welcome
|
We wish to welcome you to the new Affirmations Eternal. We are a forum that features a line of Immortal Vampires not heard from anywhere else as yet, along with conversations on a wide range of topics.
For those who may have visited AE before the transformation and are surprised to see a different set of vampires calling it home, we will only say that the Ricean vampires we once featured here were very pleased to be able to leave AE in the hands of another breed of Immortal Vampires who have their own stories to share with you all. We therefore ask that once you enter you do not post requests or questions regarding the others on forum or in our chat. If you do have questions on this topic, you may Private Message our assistant French Maid and she will attempt to address them for you.
For older members returning who did not have to re-register, we also ask
that you check your profile and update your birthday. New members will
have done so upon registering, but we did not have that feature on the
old forum. If your old avatar is missing, and you had it uploaded to our
server on the earlier forum you can choose to use a personalized picture
or scroll through those still here until you find the one that belongs
to you and select it. We ask that anyone who still features signatures
or titles from the Ricean vampires with their names as a part of them
delete them before posting, or this will eventually be done for you.
Should you have any questions or problems with the forum please feel
free to ask. Technical questions should be PMd to Samyaza, or placed on
the forum in the area provided for this, not in her Immortal Home thread
on forum. All questions of a non-technical nature regarding forum issues
that you cannot find answers to within may be sent to Cathair or
FrenchMaid.

Our History
|
There are many chroniclers of ancient civilizations, and sometimes they conflict with one another in ways that can cause serious discord. In the Old Times, recording the history of men was exceptionally time-consuming and few were literate. Most people had to rely on storytellers to spread the histories of their people. We all know how the tellers of stories like to embellish on them at times, but who does not love a tale that is told with passion?
The tale we propose to tell has its roots in a number of ancient manuscripts. These do sometimes conflict and cause dissension among men, yet often they also have amazing similarities that affirm for their followers that in some ways all of us are forever linked eternally, whatever form of creature we may be.
Our own tale was inspired in part by the Kebra Negast (The Glory of Kings) which is one of the older recorded manuscripts still in existence. It is the Ethiopian version of a tale also recorded in the Torah, the Bible, and the Quoran. If you have heard of The Queen of Sheba, or her affair with the legendary King Solomon, then you know of which tale I speak.
We are here to tell you a story that begins during the time of Sheba and Solomon and reveals a new unique dynasty of Immortal Blood Drinkers. Over time they very selectively multiplied; spreading out across the world. Some have continued to flourish in modern times. We hope you will be tempted to join us within to share their adventures, and discourse on what you, and they, share in common as well. This is a feast of friends, both vampires and mortals, where we relish the chance to share experiences ranging from the serious, the silly and the sublime.

Guidelines
|
1. The age requirement to
participate in these forums is 17 years of age. Anyone found lying about
their age to gain access to our forum will be banned.
2. You may not take on the name of any of our own characters, or those
from books, plays, movies or TV shows in an attempt to portray these
characters yourselves.
3. The only Supernatural Beings acknowledged here are those who are
staff members of Affirmations Eternal. What you are outside of our home
is your prerogative, but here you are mortal and nothing else, unless we
grant you temporary "powers" during some special event.
4. We ask that you not challenge the Vampires and ask them to prove
their "reality" to you on or off forum. If you wish to be a part of our
community we ask that you accept the premise this forum is based on so
as to keep to our theme for the pleasure of all of our guests.
5. Refrain from asking a vampire to change or turn you. We also ask that
you do not ask them to harm others on your behalf. This will not happen.
6. Proper decorum is expected when interacting with not only the
Vampires, but each other as well. Please refrain from excessive displays
of affection, unless permission to do such has been granted. Certain
vampires may not mind light teasing, but rudeness and total disrespect
will not be tolerated by the most friendly of them.
7. We are here to interact with you, not to find a romantic companion;
such things are strictly forbidden here. Do not invite AE immortals to
engage in RP with you off site. If you should find someone on IM
claiming to be from AE who is not an administrator, it is very likely
that they are not telling you the truth. The administrators are on very
rarely to conduct forum business, not to RP with you. The moderators of
AE are asked not to become involved with members off site.
Administration is not responsible for their actions elsewhere.
8. Please keep profanity to a minimum. If you must use it, please be
careful that it is very limited, and not too graphic in nature. If it is
out of control, Administration will either delete or edit your post.
9. Discussion and debates on topics are encouraged. That said, respect
is demanded. Please remember that all members have a right to their own
opinions and do not indulge in personal insults. Posts may be deleted,
or locked if we feel that the debate has generated into personal slurs.
Nothing that is ethnically, sexually, or religiously denigrating will be
tolerated. Those who break such rules will be warned via PM, but if they
continue to provoke eventually it could result in banishment.
10. Any threats regarding yourself, staff, or other members, made on
forum or in PMs, may result in automatic banning from the forum. In
addition, your personal information (including IP) could be turned over
to the proper authorities.
11. Regarding the threads known as Immortal Homes we ask that you not
use them as a place to air personal grievances with members or
moderators. Members are expected to arrive at the "home" of the immortal
as the person they have signed in as and begin a conversation with them
as their guest. There are variations as to how we each choose to
interact with members in our immortal homes. Some prefer to keep it to
conversation only, some may vampires may agree to engage in various
scenarios with you while visiting them that are far more action
oriented. Please do not post more than one thread at a time in the homes
of any immortal unless you have gained special permission to do so,
unless they have created a special "fantasy" thread therein and
encouraged members to join in. We ask that you refrain from posts that
are more than five paragraphs long, as it does make it take that much
longer for others to hear back from us.
12. Do not post links on the forum or in the chat room to other places
that feature vampire characters involving RP. This includes the use of
our Email or Private message services as well.
13. If you should have an issue with one of our Vampires or another
member please either settle it off forum, or simply PM the Vampire in
question to discuss it privately. We wish to help you to feel
comfortable here, and will be happy to listen to any grievances you may
have and do our very best to resolve them. If an issue comes up feel
free to contact an administrator to help you resolve this issue.
14. AE cannot be responsible for what goes on off of the forum itself,
but we would like to remind you all to be careful when it come to
revealing too many details about yourself personally on this, or any
Internet site, until such a time comes when you feel you have truly
gotten to know someone well enough to trust them. Many members have made
close friends here over the years, but to continue to ensure that such
experiences are good ones, we ask that you remember to do all that you
can to respect each others privacy, & use common sense before you begin
to reveal personal details about yourself to anyone on the Internet.
15. Enjoy yourselves! This is a place for serious topics, as well as the
sublimely silly. We suggest if you do not enjoy a particular topic, you
merely find another to post in. We have many different types of members
and we hope that all will be able to find something that is of interest
to them, while respecting the rights of others to do the same.
These rules are subject to change
