"to ineffectual squeeze" ineffectual -> ineffectually

2021-05-25 21:05:36 +0000 UTCNow take this with a grain of salt as it is merely my opinion but we know Randidly is strong enough to sneeze out an army stronger than the people of earth and I think that IS his problem with earth. The people of his planet are so pathetic in the grand scheme of things that almost anyone in the nexus could annihilate them completely and he wants/need them to be better than that. I think he gave earth several chances to get their shit together before he unleashed the calamity as a last-ditch "fix your crap and grow stronger" event. This can be seen in his reaction to mankind reverting to politics, infighting, and strength control through group pressure. With the best case being their refusal to follow the path of images laid out by his chosen order and the wandering city. Instead, they created that shitty cannon from the remnants of creatures and forgo personal strength. So after seeing their slacking he decided to unleash a trial that unlike a normal calamity would play by his rules and start slow. But they once again failed. First, they ignored the growing monsters because they were outside of their controlled area, then they tried to cower behind their few chosen warriors and defend instead of taking the fight to the rifts. I believe his end goal is to force whoever survives to realize that they need to grow stronger as individuals if they wish to continue surviving, just without the compleat lack of care normally found in the nexus. Though I could be wrong.

2021-04-28 06:08:08 +0000 UTCWhy should he be the only gamble against the nexus? There were four or five chapters touching on a culmination of reasons why he let the calamity go forward. The spirit of earth was shifting back towards corruption and politicing. He realized he needed to not be the only one trying to save earth. Norc the goblin summed it up “these people will eat your sacrifice” or something like that. Basically why should randidly protect a fat earth? Why should he save those who don’t recognize his actions? The reason for the calamity isn’t in one chapter but spread out over the last arc.

2021-04-28 05:29:16 +0000 UTCBecause earth has become infested with politicians and layabouts as a result of people not having to worry at all about being attacked, and he is a very militant person, and want people to be able to at least basically defend themselves. It also has a side effect of increasing skill level growth, which will increase his total gains from his tithe.

2021-04-28 05:10:44 +0000 UTCThe aether spyware from the nexus is still in everybody and Randildly does not want his home planet being noticed by the old monsters of the Nexus. He is worried about the attention that would come from deviating from nexus expectations

2021-04-28 04:54:39 +0000 UTCCan someone explain to me *why* there's a calamity at all? I never understood why. He could just have earth go without calamities, there's no reason for them, besides a very artifical "so they can grow stronger" randidly could single handedly destroy the planet. There's no point to cultivating their strength. Edit: I've gotten 3 very different answers so far, none of which make any sense given the world, randidlys personality, or his priorities. He does *not* care about politicians, personal growth from others suffering and if Spyware was the problem he'd just rip it out and end the calamity immediately. Defense is also a poor excuse cuz he literally could just make an army that earth would need a century to even compare to. The fact that I got such a wide range of answers honestly suggests the calamity is unnecessary and just shoehorned in.
