The rule doesn't really go into detail of how much escalation needs to happen before warranting killing someone, and in what situations you would be exempt from the rule(I.e someone walking in on you killing another person). Its particularly awkward to play an antagonist like ling, who can just sting a person and say "hi" while they pass out.
For me, this leads to antagonist being very stressful to play on rp, because not only are you expected to keep the round interesting, you are also expected to escalate every interaction or you risk getting banned.
Tldr i have a skill issue
preface im not a mentor and im not saying "this is how you should be interpreting it" (and always, when in doubt, adminhelp it out for some clarity and understanding)
like you, when i came from classic i kinda struggled with what exactly proper escalation was. took me a while to get there but it's not that bad. the way i see it done as like a changeling, find someone isolated, chat them up and then keep them talking while you sting.
as a vampire it's more or less the same thing. it doesn't have to be the most grandiose thing in the world but just to give people something to work with so their round isn't suddenly ended without any notice
