I recently noticed that Nexos's assimilation scene in Manipulation is most likely a callback to Sigismund0's assimilation in Proxy, not only both work for the same purpose but also share almost the exact same display of events:

• In both cases the victim is left unattended (while the other characters are aware of their location)
• Both scenes display the victim suffering violently, in Marc's case, he's shown choking on his blood and in Nexos's case he's shown crying while being pseudo-suffocated
• In both cases, another survivor returns to check on the victim, finding them in middle of the being taken process
• Both occasions, the ServerBlight seems to be either curious or amused by its work, staring intently at the victim, either real life corpse or game model, and later turns slowly to the survivors upon realizing they are watching
• In both cases the survivors escape immediately after being spotted
• PicNick is present in both scenes, just with inverted roles, which is a sad and cruel irony

I know it can sound like I'm describing any assimilation scene really, but if you look into it, you'll notice that a lot (not all) of assimilations happen quickly or off-screen, and they vary in the sequence of events, meanwhile these two scenes have almost the same order of events and similar composition, like come-on, even the shots look similar

That was it, just wanted to share a small curious thing I noticed

I've tried everything, sending longer texts, shorter texts, changing the model, deleting the messages that turn out bad, resetting the chat, but nothing.

Lately the bots always have the same mistakes:

- I can't get them to say a single dialogue, instead they write huge bibles of text describing their actions but doing nothing.

- They often want to play any character but themselves, literally I wrote a huge paragraph to leave clear who they are playing and the first thing they did was to speak as the other characters present in the scene, when I edited the message and removed any mention of other characters, it started to roleplay as background characters made by them (yeah, it literally made up extra characters in the scene just to avoid following its role)

- They often swap to my own character, I am extremely straightforward when saying who's playing who and yet first thing they do when sending the first message, is grab my character as their own, the worst part is when I address it directly and it ignores it and just continues.

I mean all of these flaws are something I saw many times before, but like, when the story already went over 100 messages or when there were too many characters, it was expectable that it loses track, but now I can't even make them start the roleplay properly.

Anyone has a solution? Or at least can relate to this? I feel the characters barely work nowadays.
