"Wait! Is that why you are so clingy in hugs!?!"
Are your friends going to be happy when they learn the only reason you have superstrength and can continue to exist is that you have unprotected sex with clean people while having HIV? And when someone catches it from you it is the same boat?
HIV has not-superpower connotations. Trying to draw a parallel between that and vampirism is outright silly.
Vampirism also has not-superpower connotations.

I added superpowers and requiring risky behavior for others to HIV to make it more of an apt analogy. The following is why I chose HIV instead of other diseases.
  • HIV will kill you. A requirement for Vampirism is exsanguination.
  • HIV makes something people innately want to do dangerous for others. Vampirism adds a new innate want that is dangerous for others.
  • HIV is transmissible through the wanted action. Vampirism transmission can be chosen (V:tM-blood sharing) but the nature of the want make death an everpresent danger that can only be subverted by transmission.
If herpes was inherently fatal I would have used that instead of HIV to make the third bit a perfect fit.

Or we could treat hemovorism as a necessary evil and start up blood banks.  Dur.
And when demand outstrips supply? It is much faster to make more vampires than humans. Some power hungry undead asshole will undoubtedly try.

Chances are the people who already know and like you aren't going to hate you just because of an infectious superpower

And besides that vampires are still people. It's not as though it's suddenly okay to start genociding them because they have a maybe-but-not-really-genetic disorder.
And sometimes you need to kill people to survive. And when those people have a phyiscal condition that will send them into psychotic rages with superhuman strength when hungry, angry, or hurt they are too dangerous to the public. That means they need to die or be isolated(if the latter they must be provided for forever).

I wish it was (unusual). It'd make the occurrence closer to magic than the offal it is currently.

but apparently you're pretty consistent on managing to dislike things that are so utterly inconsistent and broad that certain things within themselves are incomparable to each other?

They're actually pretty similar, dude. ::)
See, I don't really like rap but to say manga and rap are similar eclipses left field. The only similarity I can think of is that you profess not to like them. That's like saying Marilyn Manson and the color orange are similar because seeing them annoys you.

As for why I don't really like rap it is that the music and the lyrics generally aren't independent things that reinforce each other when together. The rap beat itself usually isn't engaging enough to me and I prefer my lyrics to be more heavy on the emotion than the story.

Does that count as incest? I don't know. I guess I'd have to check my Crusader Kings 2 manual I suppose.

You see this link? You're going to click it, and you're going to read.

You're not my dad!
Damn! All that money for DNA testing wasted.

Thanks man, what if the second interaction is a material emission? (i.e. fireball thing)
Then the second one would be something like
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
as this is an imp's fireball altered for syndromes/interactions.

If it doesn't have a frequency specified it'll use FREQUENCY:50 which will make it just as likely to appear as every other FREQUENCY:50 creature that can be there.

Can I have multiple CAN_DO_INTERACTIONS in one secret? If so, how?
Yes.
Have a second set of CE_CAN_DO_INTERACTION after the first pointing to the other interaction you want the secret bearer to be able to use. IE
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Try playing them?
I'm not sure I understand. "Play"? What's that mean, in the context of a Bethesda game? Is it installing more mods, like the tea pickle recommends?

I got Skyrim to stop crashing, and all my mods seem to be functioning in harmony.

... now what am I supposed to do
Uninstall it and try again for the challenge.

Also, paragraphs. They are a thing that exists.
Evidently they don't on phones.

Silly EU trying to control immigration, you no can limit population~

Frumple you just argued against not torpedoing smuggler ships.
Or do you want the EU to have a completely open border policy. The EU is fucktons more dense with people than the US and if the latter you are endorsing these people to flood EU ghettos. That is going to spike racism like profits after layoffs.

I'm not talking about forced labour, marriages or other forms of bondage, I'm talking about literal slavery - very upfront one person owning another as property slavery. And if you think it's bad now, imagine what it'd be like if the Atlantic, African and Muslim slave trade continued to this day. Shit's there, but it'd be foolish to just give up and try to live with it rather than fight it.
So chattel slavery.
