>>39877647 Think of it like this: any talks you do at the start are just talks between writers, on a meta sense. Then, if both of you agree to what you discussed, that can be made canon lore. So when you talked with vnugget, you both were happy with the end result of the deal, but with meatbros, they wanted some more clarification and wanted to work with you on the idea some more.
Also, one more thing to keep in mind is that we do shitpost A LOT. So in that specific instance, the meatbros most likely were doing just that. Trade deals and diplomatic relations are one of the things that we do take kinda seriously here. If you want the discussion to be serious, make sure you state that clearly beforehand, and ignore any shitpost that might be thrown at you.
