My reasoning is that we have weaken Mork but we dont know for how long or how much. Better not mention what we cannot prove or explain.
Better not to make the 'mudane' know about Ranald at all even.
FIrstly the Ranaldian vote has no way in hell of winning. Full stop, so it really isn't too much of a concern. In any case, most people who vote for disclosure up to the idol and disclosure up to Mork have similar reasons for being reluctant for voting full disclosure up to Ranald.
Secondly, it's very interesting that virtually every voter in this thread shares your justification behind this decision, but the thread is literally split into half over this issue - one half argues that Mathilde's ignorance is precisely the reason why it is not right for her to withhold this information from people like Kragg the Grim or the Grandmaster of the Winter Wolves, precisely because she cannot even begin to calculate the value of the Intel that Mork is weakened, and deception is likely to simply create alot of problems down the line.
The other half shares your justification that Mathilde should classify what she is unable to explain, and bury it as deep as possible, or to conduct a private debriefing of selected individuals of what happened.
The reality is, the thread has gone through 50 straight pages debating this issue on and on. And if the vote to with-hold the weakening of Mork from the council passes, expect another 50 more pages and another very tight vote over whether we should tell King Belegar and Kragg the Grim in Private, and possibly another 50 pages of whether we should privately share what happened with the Grandmaster of the Winter Wolves.
On one hand, it's sort of a good thing I guess? Expect another voting turnout that approaches 250 votes next turn, since I'm almost certain that the first write-in vote is to take King Belegar to one side over ale and fully debrief what we truly saw in Karag Nar to Belegar and Grimm in private, and I suspect this vote is going to go right down the line once more. And while voting turn out and discussion are the lifeblood of quests, I think that dragging this issue out isn't going to necessarily help in preserving a civil environment of discussion in this thread.
Mathilde ganking Mork is going to be Liber Mortis Mk II Electric Bogaloo isn't it? Where we will be debating about whether to reveal what happened all the way past Karak Eight Peaks and up to our return to the Grey College, and where
half the thread will advocate we continue to censor the events at Karag Nar even to Mathilde's master and the Patriarch of the Grey Order, with that half voting that we activate the Lying side of the coin just to be safe. And the other half, the half that voted for partial disclosure up to Mork right here and now to the council basically pointing out how that lying to our master and patriarch is both OOC, and incredibly foolish. We are, at last count, something like 7 votes away for the revealing Mork issue to dominate this thread till page 1500 or something.
