There are two instances where you may be touched as part of the rules of the game:

• Combat - if another player initiates combat with you, you will be touched by a foam weapon, or shot with a foam dart.
• Effects - some effects require players to touch their intended target player on the shoulder, hand, forearm, shin, or foot while speaking a special sentence that describes the inflicting effect.

Touching another player, outside the above rules requirements, without their express permission is not allowed. If you absolutely do not want to be touched by anyone for any reason, you may wear a yellow armband signifying you are a Non-Combatant.
