I7: Both Poet and Auda, kiss Iris

“folks, kiss auda” gets parsed as answering folks that kiss auda. Anyone know why?

That suggests that the game doesn’t understand the “kiss auda” instruction, or at least Inform converts “unrecognized conversation” to the answering someone that action (Parser Template §18).
I have no clue why that instruction would not be understood, though,

I’m going to guess that scope for actors that are parts of backdrops is all messed up. However, this does not work:

A rule for reaching outside dummybackdrop: allow access.

UPDATE: Aha! It was simply that I needed to write a scope rule for folks:

After deciding the scope of folks: repeat with avatar running through on-stage robots: [should probably be everything that the player can see, or that the robots can see] place avatar in scope.

Now I need to figure out how to make sure everything else we want to be in scope is, extract the action we’ve asked folks to do, get some actors from the player, and have those actors do what we asked folks to do.
