These are before and after images of Galaxy M100. The Hubble's huge main mirror has a serious manufacturing/polishing flaw, an optical defect called spherical aberration, which was caused by the malfunction of a measuring device used during the polishing of the mirror. The mirror isn't concave enough for precise imagery. Scientists and engineers worked together to come up with an optical engineering fix to this pretty devastating problem.

During the first Hubble Servicing Mission in December 1993, a crew of astronauts carried out the repairs necessary to restore the telescope to its intended level of performance. The Wide Field and Planetary Camera 1 (WFPC1) was replaced with a second-generation camera, Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2), which was designed to precisely counteract the error in the main mirror’s shape. This led to a dramatic increase in image quality. In subsequent missions, other equipment was replaced with new versions also designed to correct for the mirror's optical defect.

If T3 is scum I think Rathe has a good chance of his buddy.
It's obvious that Andante is not going to be the lim today, yet Rathe isn't voting where else he thinks is scum.

It seems like Rathe is trying to scare people from voting T3 hoping we move else where.

Ivy I read and I don't think that they are scum.

T3 I normally have a town read for particular post styles but I haven't seen it yet.
And this makes me think T3 that he is actually scum.

There doesn't seem to be anyone voicing as T3 town either, but yet there seems a huge dis interest in actually voting here?
If anyone has a read on T3 whatever alignment it is, I'm all ears with this.

Posts you make ti me are increasingly junk solely containing an insult towards me, I have asked you to stop yet you continue. So, now I will explicitly tell you to fuck off. Stop replying to me unless it's game content.

I don't care if you like me, I don't care if you think my ego is blinding me. This is a mafia game, not an audition to be your idol.

I never made this game about me, several players decided to and I kept reading and applying pressure.


There was never a single stage of this game where my ego blinded me.

Regardless of alignments or who we think is scum, let's just chill a bit.

@Rational
I was being unfair by saying I won't listen.
I'll read what you have to say but I do think you are just letting yourself tunnel and to someone who I think is town from meta alone.
There's a reason that your view isn't popular of Andante as scum. Without making this into a dig, it's because you are most likely wrong here.

If you want to convince me that Andante is scum, then try tomorrow if they are alive. I can then at least work with you on it.
But for today I think we move on from the Andante lim and at least find their partner.

And I appreciate that you are working towards this and voting T3 who you think can be scum.

On a side note. If asteria was confirmed town, do you think T3 is still scum, and whoever would you look at?

I think T3 claims PR there as scum.
I think I would have unvoted on a PR claim though. However, I'm interested in seeing if Rathe hammers.

Convince me in the mean time to vote Rathe, T3.

In post 588, Demainer wrote:orc, what do you think of ivy, rathe, claskoslot
I dont understand his vote on Andante - i noted that a little earlier - he made an almost immediate reaction vote to the Doc claim - as if he knows something but wont say what and will most likely get killed tonight to bury whatever it is - the way he voted makes me second guess Andante's alignment - To me he just needs to come out with a proper reason for that vote - explain whats' up and lets deal with it - i understand the game here everyone whats to keep hidden what they are to not allow scum to find the pr's but i think that cat's out of the bag now to be honest.

Ivy - she's cute but minimal post/play it seems to me

Clasko/VFP - VFP just joined - he's making a good catchup attempt to get into the game as he just replaced a player so i cant really fault him for anything yet - needs more time

It's to early for me to decide where to put Ivy and VFP at this time - I would lean to waiting for some deaths and starting to put the pieces together better once we actually have more information and something to look at - their play today, Votes, and who flips what will help provide that.
These reads don't feel genuine to me at all, you started the game headstrong with much more confident reads and pushing players you thought were scum, but now the chaos earlier in the day has subsided, you're all over the place. Your case on t3 is artificial, you haven't made any attempt at pushing them despite them being your strongest sr, enough for a vote, and all you've done is jumped on the wagon without doing anything more while you're on it.

If you really thought t3 was scum, you'd be pushing them much harder right now.

Btw if I die at night know this: JacksonVirgo is not towntelling if Andante is real Doc. Everything they (pronoun they/them, referring to the single JV, not to Andante) have done is what Scum who want to towntell hard later on would play the situations they've been in.


From the start of thr day phase to now, JacksonVirgo has appeared to have an agenda to force me to back away from Andante or to frame me as scum. When Andante outs as Doc, JV instantly believes it and puts on a spectacular display of aggression but why? Why were they so hostile ans sure? Why is it that since then, JV has merely dedicated to pushinge to feel unhappy rather than contribute anything worthwile?

Odd. It's all odd. T3 also is odd for other reasons a d that team JV and T3 would have played the day how they did... Hmm

Who is Asteria?

If Andante is scum, yes I do. Though, I admit anyone except Rathe is viable scum if Andante is.

Demainer, i didnt jump the wagon, i started it if you check the votes. If he flips turn, ill be the first person everyone blames. And took him till 4 votes up to try to fight against it.

But i do love how your distraction from t3 is to come after me.
