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.
