I don't know why you always say that cycles would be rare. I think they would be fairly common, for example: 49 A 24 B 27 C>B This scenario doesn't require a conflicted electorate.

Actually, the strategy should be easier. I know that you understand Approval strategy, even if it offends you to have to use it. However, I don't think you even understand the rules of cycle resolution based on defeat strength, so how can you claim which has more complicated strategy? Kevin Venzke Découvrez le nouveau Yahoo!
