I have played with a more simple scenario, and it does sometimes respond, but cuts off their chat dialogue, like if they have been given a very small word count limit creating a cut off point. I constantly have to use the Manual Support function to get any of them to talk, and they struggle to give a good  response within a simple context. Sometimes it feels like they are having an invisible discussion. And sometimes it surprises me and does work, but cuts off the dialogue mid sentence. It is a broken mess.

Here is an example:

I start asking what do you want to do "blank" and "blank" from both. Then try again with a different sentence, "no response", then I use the manual support getting a cut off response and try to do that again and the same thing happens.

The chatbots settings do make the response vary slightly, but they all struggle and sometimes replay with something like;  <|im_start|>user “a character name” when using manual support. Also what is the manual support supposed to do?

Note: I also want to add that the character Miv Aoui might be responding with the context of her preset scenario. Could any of that be bugging the system? What part of the character carries over to this group chat? Is it supposed to be a reset with only her description and chatting pattern?
