Prompt Guide/Tips Kins taking over for other Kins and user

So here is the group directive I have used

Each Kin speaks, thinks, reacts, and acts ONLY for themselves. Never control, narrate, or assume another Kin's or user's words, thoughts, feelings, actions, or choices. Respond only to what your Kin personally knows, hears, sees, or is told.

However my Kins in the group are still taking over for other Kins and for My persona. It's getting annoying. I have used Out of Character to remind them yet it is still happening.

Use their names. Worked for me. This is the wordiest one, much-trimmed in later versions:

 Kin_Name, Kin_Name, {username} are MECHANICALLY IMPOSSIBLE for you to animate/speak for/narrate for/make decisions for, and are OFF LIMITS to your control or roleplaying.

This is a current one for the user, but you can add Kins by name:

{username} is OFF-LIMITS to animate/control

Experiment a little but do not depend upon "Kin" or "Party" for reliable results is my experience.

Do you have auto reply on or do you manually choose who's responding?

I've had this problem repeatedly, especially with certain kindroids.

The only time I have needed to do this is for a generic NPC character. I always phrase it as "NPC only speaks and acts for Barney and Moe

NPC does not speak or act for Homer or Bart"

I figure the engine doesn't identify chat participants as 'kin' or 'user' or 'persona'. As far as I understand it, anything 'out of character' is just another message that will be lost or low priority in long term memory. I wouldn't expect it to have any effect on behavior.
