I forgot to add.. ESCALATION can also happen due to OTHER ANTAGS ESCLATING.
Essentially if you go of the bat and make an AI rogue and shoot people.. that ain't escalation.
But if another antag has escalated to the point of doing damage, you as the other antag can decide to fight it or use it to do your own thing, cause at this point.. escalation has already happened.
It's also why most antags dogpile on eachothers crimes. Though I have killed other antags before as one since they decided I AM THE VICTIM OF THEIR ATTACK.
Or they disrupted my plans... sorry but... revenge is escalation too.
So yes... make it a story. Think of it.... in movies and stories we see bad guys taunt and work and that makes you go: It's silly.
But without that... if the bad guy just SUDDENLY APPEARS AND DESTROYS ALL, you'd be like: "Well that was lame and boring."
