@firefly256: Hi Colon here's some questions regarding curses (we need to add them to wiki)
1. If you've already gotten a contagious curse, can you swap profiles and regain the contagious curse? It says "members".
2. Can relics and leaders be unequipped under Curse of Toxicity? It says "cannot be changed".
3. What are combinations that are hardcoded to never happen?
4. There are a lot of instance with "less" and "more" (less than 100 members, Chains reduces luck when luck > 1, Weakened Contagious increases luck when luck < 2). Is it 'strictly less than' or 'less than or equal to'?
@colon:
1. Contagious curses store ids, not profiles. So once per user
2. No, this is the point of the curse
3. generous/selfish cannot have invis or hikikomori
  persistent cannot have downtime or procrastination
  viral cannot have downtime or fogginess
  capitalist cannot have invis
4. hikikomori is >= 100, contagious is luck < 2, shackled is luck > 1
