Oh no, not at all, I suspect Mordenkainen for several reasons, one of which was his vote on Kai which I felt was a pile-on. The mod clarification came in post #200 but Mordenkainen's vote was #186, he just corrected the spelling in #204. Here are my thoughts on their slot:

D1 ISO:

Mordenkainen
D1
#7 Hi, fluff
#133 explanation of GP course, dislikes Mahaloth's unforced VT claim, not reason enough to vote
#134 quotes Kaiveran, likes it, has a townie feel
#141 to Meeko, says Archangel did not go after Kaiveran, she just asked a question, and moved on when the answer satisfied her, will not be voting Archangel or Kaiveran toDay, maybe Maha or Meeko
#143 on Gnarly, mentions his single post, also missed the plurar "forces", not reason enough for a vote
#153 explains Lightfoot/SilverJan numbered lists confusion, notes there are 6 hours remaining
#160 on Bashorian, mentions his short burst of activity (quoted above), feels uneasy but needs more reasoning than low participation, since they are equally guilty of that so it's NAI
#167 to me, explains what they meant by inconsistent (quoted above), policy non-votes Gnarly
#189 on Texcat, dislikes her reasoning for voting Mahaloth, his claim was NAI and Colby's vote was a joke, disagrees with vote but wonders if it's a misunderstanding or made-up arguments, ends up voting Texcat because "not only scum would do that", for being wrong
#197 to me, who questioned their comment on Bashorian's short burst of activity and ironic, given his own short burst of activity, explains that it's their MO, does not know if it's also BC's MO
#200 to Archangel, who clarifies that low activity is also NAI for BC, does not understand tone
#250 (N1) to me, who asked if anyone else had Gnarly's interpretation of "forces", also thought of multiball, but not worth a vote, anyway it's too late

Slightly more content here, gives two town reads, does a few ISOs, fairly nice tone, although a little overly self-aware, playing both sides on gnarly, mahaloth, and bashorian. Three things stand out:
1. What made you pick Gnarly, Bashorian and TexCat to ISO?
2. Did you find TexCat scummy for being wrong? Do you think she faked the arguments against Mahaloth, or do you feel a need to stick to your policies no matter what?
3. A little snuggling and defense of Kaiveran, possibly too blatant too early

N2 reads list:

Mordenkainen ISO, D1#134/141 snuggle and indirect defense of Kaiveran stands out a little more now, comments on Kaiveran/Vanta in #131, returns in #186 with a little role-fishing attempt, factual re-hash of the previous discussion between Archangel and me, recognized 6 minutes later, was persuaded by the crumb - why now but not before in #131, since I spotted the crumb in #108? Changed stance on TexCat in #203, would like to hear current stance based on Kaiveran's flip.

Interactions between Kai and Mordenkainen:

D1#134 quotes Kai's #38, is a positive start to the game, gives an overall townie feel
D1#141 indirectly, corrects Meeko on Archangel's approach to Kai, will not be voting Kai or Archangel toDay
D2#36 Kai, indirectly, does not think Mordenkainen's defense of gnarly is white-knighting, ranks the interaction 1st out of 5 in order of towniness
D2#131 indirectly, lists out three options for Vanta's death including Vanta hiding behind Kai
D2#143 Kai comments on my low-poster ISOs, unsure of my read on Mordenkainen, could be wolfy self-focus or struggling to get a read, waiting for follow-up, unlikely aligned with TexCat due to early vote, sees an improvement in content and evolving reads compared to BC
D2#154 Kai suspects one of the non-voters is scum, excludes others so "that leaves Colby and Morden", votes Meeko without reasoning why not Colby or Morden
D2#186 works through Vanta scenarios, Vanta's hint, votes Kai, asks em to come and play again
D2#187 agrees with hypotheses that Kai could be town, but finds crumb to be persuasive
D2#203 suggests a need to look at TexCat, for thinking Kai is townie, especially if Kai flips scum
D2#204 fixes spelling of vote on Kai so ensure the vote count reflects it correctly
- possible smoking gun here, there was no vote count posted, how did Mordenkainen notice the typo? Why was he so concerned about it appearing correctly in the vote count?
