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. It just takes some
truncation.

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?
