Intergalactic Summit

I think we've found our accord, Sarice-haan. Well said.

Already building a summer home there, not moving it. You can't make me.

The racial purity as considered in the Caldari State has more in common with 'Animal Fancy' than it does anything else. Being 'pureblood' is not about inbreeding and verifiable genetic purity across the entire genetic lineage (which is almost impossible to document). What it is about is actually a twofold process.

1.) A pedigree system that documents ancestry. It usually is measured back at least (if not more) three generations, not including your own. That means parents, grandparents, and great grandparents. To be considered 'pureblood', a certain percentage of your ancestry must have attained an official sort of classification as Deteis or Civire. The percentage varies depending on who is judging you, and the requirements to be classified also vary. Most often, classification is done at birth, though it can be done again later in life (like, after puberty) in some cases.

2.) Measurable physical features of all sorts that determine which type of Caldari someone is. Caldari tend to pair with similar looking people. It is the physical differences that really determine who is Deteis and who is Civire. After centuries of this tendency to pairbond only with similar looking people, two distinct physical archetypes have emerged: Civire and Deteis. They are named after folklore heroes. Granted, Civire and Deteis physical attributes may have their origin in ancient peoples who lived in different parts of Caldari Prime... but this is speculation at best.

Civire and Deteis are the same exact species, so don't let anyone tell you differently. The only differences are physical. This is because of, and encouraged by, the tendency for Deteis to marry Deteis and Civire to marry Civire. Physical traits carry on through generations.

A common misconception is that two Civire or two Deteis will always produce a Civire or Deteis offspring. This is not true. It is entirely possible for the child of two parents of the same bloodline to have physical attributes of the other bloodline simply because of the dice roll. In social contexts, they will often be treated by how they look. A Civire that looks Deteis will be treated as a Deteis, and is more likely to end up being courted by another 'actual' Deteis and ignored by other Civire.

In the most cases however the above example will fail to look like either archetype, will simply be labeled halfblood despite their actual 'purity', and must resort to their pedigree when challenged. Those who really care about 'genetic purity' will compare pedigrees (yes, literally) as part of courtship. This is done partly to choose a healthy mate who will produce healthy offspring, but also to ensure certain positive social statuses.

In the end, you have to understand that a vast majority of what we're talking about has little to do with hard genetics here. It has much more to do with physical features that are classified under a very inflexible system, and those who fall between the cracks are labeled rightly or not as 'halfblood' and suffer significant social misfortune.

In fact, I never lost a single drinking game to any matari.

I don't know how you came up with this. Just futile trolling attempt with obvious lies, or you are intoxicated that hard for hallucinating? So much about self-inflicted stupidity. Well done, Veikitamo.

Oh, about boldness. I see you are indeed too scared to show yourself before me and prefer to yap, hiding behind neocom. Can't say I am surprised, though!

Note to self: fireproof the estate.

Still won't get me out.

Depends on the kebab. Are we having a barbecue? I'll bring the beers.

PARTY AT KIMMY'S PLACE!!!! WOOOOOHOOO

It did sound fun, but you lost it with the Quafe part.

Wait, there's a party? I need to pay attention to the IGS more.
