RANDOMOSITY: RIGHTS AND WRONGS

RANDOMOSITY NOW EVALUATE D SELF IN D OLD STNL CANON/FANON, ALL THE WHILE EATING CHEESE AND PUREEING SOUFFLE

DAT LIST BE ALL PURDEE

What Went Right

• The Rando'Moss'Itis are good Easter Eggs that allow me to slip in odd and funny
   sayings/blurbs without awkwardly shoving it in the main plot of an adventure.
• Like only a few other species, Rando'Moss'Itis managed to spread their randomness several other series, whether as individuals or Easter Eggs.
• They can be very comedic, especially when blowing themselves up in a "Boom Boom Relay".
• Their appearance is befitting of a strange and crazy race of aliens. I mean, they look and move crazy...
• Ever since Herbert flew away from Brope at the end of STNL² and almost ruined fungus3 and Nirvana for eme12 and I, the Rando'Moss'Itis (and Zoolohonians) are the last species to survive the end of the original SR universe and without being rebooted.

Neutral

• Spore The Next Level ended before I could delve deeper into Rando'Moss'Iti culture and their fixation on ideology.
• fungus3's backstory for them is... okay, but at least it didn't ruin them since I had no real backstory for them: they were just meant to be weird aliens who showed up at random intervals.
• However, this backstory (involving a supernova that spread entropy or whatever crap that was) allowed for the plausible introduction of other "randomized" species such as the Entropy Pods (eww), Wasabas and Spugs.

What Went Wrong

• In my opinion, the Rando'Moss'Itis showed up too often as Easter Eggs. Every few parts you could see Rando'Moss'Itis babbling and dancing, and it got kind of old.
• There were also only a few story arcs that directly involved them, and even then we didn't get to see their culture; just more Rando'Moss'Itis blathering.
• The whole thing with them having four genders was just ridiculous and made them too silly, even by their standards. It also meant you really had to specify which character was which gender, instead of just saying they were a guy or a gal.

OVERALL: Despite the fact that they were repetitive and not all that three-dimensional, the Rando'Moss'Itis were nevertheless a very entertaining and bizarre race that could almost rival the Kleekoonanonis in popularity.

Next time: A certain race of mostly-harmless primates from Sol III.
