If you are willing to discard real life rules of biological taxonomy than there really isn't anything left to discuss because you can pretty much make things up as we go along. Not that you haven't been doing that already for pages now. I repeatedly presented examples and evidence and all you can do is disagree without providing any reasonable counterexample or evidence to support your claims.
At this point I feel that the conversation has become pointless and unproductive on account of your refusal to follow the basic rules of one and thus have to terminate my participation in it.
Yes, that's what happens in a game with fantasy characters, real life biology goes out the window for anyone that isn't human unless the developer specifically takes steps in their writing to make it work in game as it does for real. It actually doesn't even matter if they're all human since, in a game, the developer's word is law. Basically, if Runey, hypothetically speaking, wanted to make humans incompatible with humans, he could. It would make little sense unless he threw in some sort of extremely advanced scientific or magical reason for this, but he could. I provided plenty of counters to your examples and reasoning.
That kind of resource deployment takes too much time to not seem fishy, the elf in question might start getting suspicious, especially with all the anti-elf posters.
I do have to agree on the response time thing, the minimum here is 15 minutes and that's assuming a police station is nearby, but not in walking distance. Some places here can take at least an hour because they are so spread out.
She doesn't know shes an elf tho...She'll just sit there happily with the mc. And I just pulled 10 minutes out of my ass, she could have waited a whole half hour, again with no suspicion. Between Ellen and Ashley, she could think that elf ancestry isn't that uncommon and not even think about it.
Plus I think the two of you are putting to much thought into whatever your talking about up there. tldr whatever that is.

Whether she knows is irrelevant to the situation except for one thing, it would play into the shock that would stun her mentally long enough to be detained without using excessive force that could result in value decreasing injuries, like the unwarranted use of a security bot. Also, when I say 'the elf' instead of 'Maria,' it means I'm speaking in general. That point in my comment was referring to the inefficiency that would be trying to use a hospital DNA test as a trap in a hospital that is crawling with signs that they hate elves. Even the dumbest of elves should get the message before they get out of the lobby and make a run for it, or just leave quietly, that works just as well and wouldn't bring suspicion like running for no apparent reason to the people around them. Only the ones unaware of their own heritage would not know and fall into the trap, which is too few to be useful. Elven ancestry actually isn't that uncommon in the game, hence why so many people, including multiple main girls, are popping up as being elves of some degree. Maria is, so far, the only one that has popped up with an enslavement eligible amount of elven DNA that wasn't already a slave. Hana and Ashley are too weak in the elven DNA to be eligible, luckily because Ashley would be instant war on Cornwall in my play through, not that I haven't already gotten to that point because of Maria The real threat to them would be how much ancestry they have, how close their latest elven ancestor is.
Elven ancestry is pretty common, by my understanding. And Maria's eyes aren't as pronounced as Ashley's so it's a reasonable assumption that Maria's elven ancestry is more distant than Ash's.
As for how the police got there so fast, it could be that they just keep a patrol near the hospital as part of their routine procedure for whatever reason. They were all robots so they might even be posted there permanently. Alternatively, given how zealous she was, the nurse may have called them over preemptively when she saw Maria's eyes and had her arrested when she had confirmation.
So she's even more of a racist than initially thought, automatically assuming race, great. I would love to see the lawsuit that would ensue against her, the hospital, and possibly the town itself over her jumping some poor human that simply had one of those weird eye coloring procedures done, yes, those exist, though they aren't common because of the risk of going blind.
#Justice4Maria!!
Reject Humanity!!
Release the Android!!
Become Skynet!!
Anyway, I'm curious...can a human receive a blood transfusion from an elf?
If so, how would this effect a DNA test?
It might vary the same as it would other humans, the whole blood type thing, but since elves are compatible for reproduction, I don't see why they would be incompatible entirely as far as blood related procedures.
I am rather surprised by the reaction over Maria. Rather I should say I'm surprised people are shocked
Unfortunately this shit happens way too much IRL. It happened in the past and us still happening now.
Eugenics theory, race, religion. etc.
Where I am now, the country is coming face to face with it recent history of cultural genocide (residential schools).
We see in in the mid east. In just the past 30years we saw it in the Balkans, in central Africa, South Africa. Cambodia, plus many more.
This shit is still going on. Many will not see it and many will deny it because they are not the targeted ones but it's still happening. Maybe not a blatant as the story but it's there.
I applaud Runey for having writing this. If through this game he can open some eyes, then he has done a service to society.
I'm less shocked and more 'find a torch and burn Syl'anar to the ground unless they abolish this law' angry over it. As far as the connections to real life, well, I don't connect fiction to real life, but my eyes were already open to things like slavery since before this game existed.
How dare you demand such lewd things! Go to horny jail!
Does Lin get headpats and hand holding if I go?
