hassle
- verb/1 To make life difficult for someone. This can range
from talking to them when they don't want to be talked to,
through incessantly pestering them, to stealing things from
them, hitting them and to attacking them. Normally, hassling is
petty, but it can be quite vindictive. Wizzes will sometimes
hassle mortals as part of a test,
but more often than not it's
inadvertent - the wiz is simply immune to hints that the mortal
doesn't actually want to explore their latest blank area right
now or whatever. It's possible that someone can be hassled by a
group of players but not by a single individual: if there's one
mortal and five wizzes, each wiz may be well below the bounds
of hassling but from the mortal's point of view "the wizzes are
hassling me!" If someone systematically hassles a particular
player, that becomes bullying. See also tweak.
