...what is 'the box jumping disease'?

---

Adding nothing to the conversation since 1834.

One of the box traps puts a disease on you, that has a chance to "jump" to other people. Not sure if it's working as intended but when it jumps to another person it leaves the original carrier uninfected.

It seems very unlikely that this would provide consent, since it isn't something you can control. I've had several instances where I was running to the empaths to get healed, then got there with no disease and went about my day, only to have someone swing by my Trader shop to tell me that I just killed them with disease.

I could maybe see that being consent if it was clearly intentional, like following you around until it finally jumped, but that doesn't sound intentional with someone walking into your room and then walking off (unless you have a demonstrated past conflict with that person and they had located you in that room or something)

IMO...

If you have to ask yourself "Is this person giving me consent by doing that?," you're going to end up having to deal with a GM at some point anyway, so put that into consideration when making a decision.

At the same time, I feel that if you're doing something that makes you ask yourself "Is this giving them consent?," then you most likely are.

Thanks for the advice.
