Yeah, that does seem silly. Anyway, I'll go get a post up for the IC thread so that convosation can continue.

I would, but he wasn't online last time I checked. I don't know how he'd make only Mongolians immune to it because I haven't mapped the Mongolian Genome in the last 10 years (or ever), so it's really a gish gallop. What I do know is that it's impossible for 100% of mongolians to be immune to it and for 100% of the non-mongolian population to be vulnerable.
Which isn't the case, for one. There are immunity, partial resistance, and zero resistance strains. The majority of the immunity lies within Mongolian terretory, but there are others who are immune.

Not true.
You'd just need to vaccinate the Mongolians.

But yeah, germs can't see skin color or anything; they don't discriminate. At best, you have germs that many Mongolians or whatever are immune to and few non-Mongolians are. And the smaller/more specific the population, the harder it is. Mongolians aren't that different from Chinese, biochemically.

I should have phrased it differently; it WOULD be impossible. I was aware that was not the case. If I were a commander, I would not be using chemical weapons in a danger close setting when...*checks most shared Mongolian Haplotypes* only 60% of my soldiers would have that haplotype (and it isn't exclusively mongolian either. Kazakhstan for example has a similar concentration). And that haplotype is Y chromosome only.
 
Is resistance genetic then?

By the way, who wants to have already had trade with me prior to the start of the RP?

Depends. Some is (suck as sickle-cell anemia giving resistance to malaria), some is not (malaria vaccines).

I knew that much. A better way to say it would have been "Is resistance to Khan's Revenge genetic?"

Kinda.

It's complicated.

You know, I am really starting to like the New Order and Swiss delegates.

Doesn't mean that they're extant. Note the "supposed".
And, remember, this is IC. The Sky Lords' copy of your game application must have been lost in the mail.

My point is that the New Order is kind of paranoid. This is relevant to the RP, and makes it even less likely for me to tell you about the Great Plan.

I know the New Order's paranoid. That won't stop the Sky Lords from pounding at that brick wall until they get something.
Frustrated, at least.

Yes, I predict these negotiations will go on for a while.

You can't keep secrets like that, Remuthra. It simply isn't possible. I doubt that everyone ever in your country has been complicit with this policy, particularly since it hasn't been that long since the calamity.
