OFF: Resolution of Prime Minister election

2024-09-22 Thread Edward Murphy via agora-official

I resolve the Prime Minister election as follows.

Final votes:

Janet:  [Janet, jimmy, literallyAmbiguous, 4st]
literallyAmbiguous: [literallyAmbiguous, Janet, 4st, jimmy]
Mischief:   [jimmy, 4st, literallyAmbiguous, Janet]
ais523: [literallyAmbiguous, 4st, Janet, jimmy]
Murphy: [literallyAmbiguous, 4st, Janet, jimmy]
Kate:   [Janet, literallyAmbiguous, 4st, jimmy]
oliver.n:   [Janet, 4st, literallyAmbiguous, jimmy]
4st:[4st, literallyAmbiguous, Janet]
kiako:  endorse ais523
snail:  [4st, literallyAmbiguous, Janet, Jimmy]

Quorum of 7 was met.

Everyone's voting strength is 3. (No blots, no festival, no stones, not
an ordinary proposal.) For simplicity, I'll just count voters below.

First round: Janet 3, literallyAmbiguous 4, jimmy 1, 4st 2
  * jimmy is eliminated

Second round: Janet 3, literallyAmbiguous 4, 4st 3
  * If Janet is eliminated, then we get literallyAmbiguous 6, 4st 4
  * If 4st is eliminated, then we get literallyAmbiguous 7, Janet 3
  * I choose Janet to be eliminated

Third round: literallyAmbiguous 6, 4st 4
  * literallyAmbiguous is literally the unambiguous winner

OFF: Resolution of Prime Minister election

2023-02-26 Thread Edward Murphy via agora-official

In the current Prime Minister election, players have attempted to
vote as follows:

nix   - [nix, juan, 4st, R. Lee, Janet, G.]
4st   - [4st, R. Lee, juan, G., nix, Janet, snail]
snail - [snail, Janet, nix, G.]

G.- [R. Lee, nix, Janet]
Janet - [Janet, nix, R. Lee, G.]

I think quorum was 3 as originally stated, was met by snail's vote, the
voting period was not extended, thus G. and Janet were too late.

Due to complexity and lack of blots, nix, 4st, snail, and Janet each
have voting strength 6, while G. has 5.

I resolve the election as follows.

Pass begins:

  4st   -  6 votes
  nix   -  6 votes
  snail -  6 votes

  Other candidates each have 0 votes are eliminated (one at a time,
  order doesn't matter).

Pass begins:

  Votes are effectively adjusted to
  nix   - [nix, 4st]
  4st   - [4st, nix, snail]
  snail - [snail, nix]

  4st   -  6 votes
  nix   -  6 votes
  snail -  6 votes

  Two out of three choices for elimination would give nix the win. Both
  are included in the same number of lists, but snail was further down
  on 4st's list than 4st was on nix's list. I choose snail for
  elimination.

Pass begins:

  Votes are effectively adjusted to
  nix   - [nix, 4st]
  4st   - [4st, nix]
  snail - [nix]

  4st   -  6 votes
  nix   - 12 votes

  nix is elected.

If I was somehow wrong about quorum, then the above is ineffective, and
I instead resolve the election as follows.

Pass begins:

  4st-  6 votes
  nix-  6 votes
  snail  -  6 votes
  R. Lee -  5 votes
  Janet  -  6 votes

  Other candidates each have 0 votes are eliminated (one at a time,
  order doesn't matter).

Pass begins:

  4st-  6 votes
  nix-  6 votes
  snail  -  6 votes
  R. Lee -  5 votes
  Janet  -  6 votes

  R. Lee is eliminated.

Pass begins:

  Votes are effectively adjusted to
  nix   - [nix, 4st, Janet]
  4st   - [4st, nix, Janet, snail]
  snail - [snail, Janet, nix]
  G.- [nix, Janet]
  Janet - [Janet, nix]

  4st-  6 votes
  nix- 11 votes
  snail  -  6 votes
  Janet  -  6 votes

  Eliminating either 4st or Janet would give nix the win.

  Eliminating snail would put Janet ahead, but then 4st would be
  eliminated, giving nix the win.

  Janet is included in a larger number of lists than 4st. I choose 4st
  for elimination.

Pass begins:

  Votes are effectively adjusted to
  nix   - [nix, Janet]
  4st   - [nix, Janet, snail]
  snail - [snail, Janet, nix]
  G.- [nix, Janet]
  Janet - [Janet, nix]

  nix- 17 votes
  snail  -  6 votes
  Janet  -  6 votes

  nix is elected.
