That probably should have been my first sentence, really. I couldn't pare down the content or tone that I wanted. The mishmash above was my best guess at conversational voice while still having a point worth making.
If you've moved on to better hacks, kudos! Harm doesn't quite seem to do what I want, yet, but I'm going to play a few more games to get the feel down. I'm still learning AW. That's a decision for when I'm fluent.
