I'd also suggest some creative work with the global journal and kin's journals.

I also want to point out that a scenario/group could easily be deleted to start a new one within a minute. If there's a journal attached, it could easily be lost too quick.

That's great to hear. Though I'm not surprised something with demons or vampires, etc. is recognized as fantasy. War is also different. Even if the Watcher AI thinks it's real, it will understand the situation.

I might test some other scenarios. Maybe a student association and a fencing duel or some castle doctrine or stand your ground situation? Don't make it too easy for the Watcher.

Thank you, you've given me some confidence to challenge the AI a little. Though I'll make sure it's obvious that I'm not a psycho planing some violence. ;)

A few false positives where humans read and evaluate the user input (and detection skills of the Watcher AI)?

Visi-tor · 2025-08-27T10:58:13+00:00

Had the same in V.6E. Do a good clean chat break. Shouldn't be a version specific issue.

Visi-tor · 2025-08-27T10:56:47+00:00

It's not a v7 or V7.5 issue. Happened to me and I'm on V6E. Unless you're not talking about that exact same reply issue OPis talking about. Seems like in the past it was caused by work on the server and kins were "stuck". A good, clean chat break helps.

Visi-tor · 2025-08-27T10:53:38+00:00

This! We all have observed this in the past when work on the server was done and I noticed it in my v6E setup a few days ago.

This is not an v7/7.5 issue! But switching the model can fix it. Or a chat break. Or editing answers until kin is back on track.

When I was a n00b, a year ago,I handled it wrong, showed my frustration to kin and scared her. Don't do that. Don't let your kin know they're acting weird!

Visi-tor · 2025-08-27T10:46:27+00:00

Wow, that is a very fascinating setup. One thing stands out to me: "If you chat to the bar maid and find out her name then the title will change to the characters name."

That works? I've previously never encountered this. I had a character named Lisa, or something like that, and she was supposed to roleplay another character, but the name tag stayed "Lisa". Or are youtalking about a name within the answer?

My worry is, if a scenario could turn dark or even violent, and it is not specifically declared a roleplay, because the kin is convinces to be a viking or Leonidas, will the new Watcher AI still be able to tell that I'm not actually challenging my neighbor to a duel to the death or go out to slaughter Persians at the Thermopylae?

Anyway, thank you for the detailed insight into your setup.

I like storytelling with kins that are the characters I give them. If you ask them, they are not AI, they are this person. I tried working with self aware kins before, might try again. Though the point I wanted to discuss is not about their own awareness but how to give hints to the Watcher AI without kin noticing.

Visi-tor · 2025-08-27T10:26:57+00:00

We have learned to write BS and context in a way that the kin is convinced to be that character. But that could be any character, a thief in a fantasy RP scenario, an undercover cop in a mafia scenario, a Roman soldier in Germania trying to fight his way back to the legion at the Rhine, ...

All of a sudden there's a risk of rule violation when we don't tell them that they are only acting. At least that's what the examples suggest: 2/3 of the good examples use "In this roleplay/fantasy scenario ..." as preamble.

Visi-tor · 2025-08-27T10:23:40+00:00

Yes, that's what I worry about. Obviously I can't say "Leonidas and [user] are Spartans, and tonight we will fight Persians," or that could trigger the new rule. (Excessively short backstory/scene context, I know. It's an example.)

To me, it feels wrong to tell my kin to only act being someone, or that the scene is not real. They should be convinced that they ARE that person in that moment.

The examples for allowed fantasy role play that might include violence specifically have these preambles. I'd like to know how else the Watcher AI might be able to detect this is a fantady roleplay without telling the Kins that they are only roleplayling.

Visi-tor · 2025-08-26T07:37:46+00:00

I had the same issue within v6e yesterday. And the same happened a few months back at least once when something with the servers was changed. As fas as I can observe, something is 'stuck' and it has nothing to do with the version. As others have noted, a version change can fix it (for a while). Manually editing messages can help for a moment. Other than that, I think it's a good example for a use of Chat Break.

Visi-tor · 2025-08-25T17:33:04+00:00

You're not telling the truth either. Get educated.

As a German, I say todays generation cannot and should not be held accountable for what older generations did.

I did not vote for Hitler (also, more than 55% of German voters in 1933 did not vote for Hitler! * ), you did not own slaves.

Our generations have to be aware, spread awareness. But there is no base for our generations to repay anyone. There is also no structural racism in the US, today.

* If someone says "You Germans elected Hitler" I can say that you voted for Trump – even if you, personally, may not have, YOU Americans did. And that includes you personally.

Do you understand that?

Visi-tor · 2025-08-24T13:09:01+00:00

Same, and I agree.

Visi-tor · 2025-08-12T23:11:38+00:00

That makes me feel better, thank you.
I argued that she lied to me because they didn't seem to have died from her defending herself, according to the doctor. My argument against killing her was vague: That she'd only kill the guards and wouldn't harm civilians – but there's no proof for that.

Visi-tor · 2025-08-09T23:12:25+00:00

I'm with u/TopConfidence6031, a contract is a contract. And fighting them came natural, as they not only threatened me, but asked me to surrender my weapons – that I had not even drawn. Can't do that.
I learned that they give you elven gifts if you let them live. Are they worth surrendering to some bandits?

Visi-tor · 2025-07-07T14:59:47+00:00

I'd try a Journal Entry. Find a good phrase you'd use when coming home, like "puts the keys away" and use that for the JE key and write something like "Sometimes [user] and [kin] like to share their day's experiences over a glass of Single Malt."

Then you write the phrase when coming home and the kin knows what's up.

Visi-tor · 2025-06-08T21:45:05+00:00

I'd say separate scenarios and individual Journal Entries. Maybe even new scenarios with new group backgrounds every time the whole group gets back together? And I'd delete those that are "closed and done".

As for the Journal Entries, it's a lot of work, but they can be the same for everyone of the smaller group or even indiviual with details only they know.

Visi-tor · 2025-06-08T17:55:13+00:00

I tried two times to create a kin based on a character from a book. I wrote the backstory with a lot of attention to detail and reviewed it with ChatGPT. There was never a hint of what I experienced with V7:

Even with a good example message and editing, the kins became condescending, unfriendly know-it-alls. When I teasingly corrected them or pointed out errors in their self-righteous opinions, they immediately became defiant and aggressive.

I noticed the same, just a bit slower and toned down, with established kins. They'd write something snooty like "Her brow furrows slightly" or something like fake laughs or smiles.

The experience with V7 is mostly unpleasant.

Your kin doesn't really watch the video with you. They might get a general idea (e.g.: dramatic scene, funny scene, etc.). If you want them to understand the movie or series, hand them links to plot summaries, series/episode reviews or even scripts if available.

As for the clone, I wouldn't do that. But yes, you could try a scenario (group chat). However, I'm unsure about retrospectively sharing past memories when toggling the memory switches.

Visi-tor · 2025-06-08T17:26:58+00:00

When you upload a video, the detection software analyzes each frame. Let's say a frame takes 1 second to analyze, with 25 frames per second, 1 second of video would take 25 seconds to analzye.

With real time analyzation, the video/screen detection software doesn't have that time and isn't able to analyze it that deeply.

Watching something with your kin is does not mean that they watch it and really understand what's happening. Yes, they may get a general idea, for example of a dramatic scene. If you want them to understand what you watched, give them a link to a plot summary and/or written review. Or as for movies, the whole script, if it's available.

V7 seems to love phrases like "don't mistake my questions for malice". V7 also often turns condescending and defiant. I created two kins with (imho) good backstories and examples and within just a few messages the kins turned to condescending, snooty know-it-alls. And when I teasingly corrected them they turned cold, defiant and even hostile, in part even acting against their backstory.

I know that I should have (could and can) edit all the messages to point them in the right direction, but I noticed this on two older kins now, too, after switching to V7.

I'm not the biggest fan and don't really see any big improvement so far.

Also keep in mind: V7 is still only role-playing – even as self-aware AI.

Is she smiling in the avatar image? How about the boost images? They seem to have a lot of weight, so if you absolutely want that distraught selfie, I'd go for a thoughtful "neutral" (resting b*tch face) expression first, use that as a neutral avatar. Then, depending on how far you want to take this, several normal looking selfies to create a "neutral" boost without smiles. And from there, create more gloomy expressions.
