[EM] RE : MAMPO is the most deluxe simple alternative method

The problem was an egregious failure of Plurality: n a 1 a=c 1 b=c n b When 
n>=1, C is elected, no matter how large n gets.

I reply:

So a thouand  each of A and B voters would make each other lose, with the 
help of those two other voters, who let C have only 1000 votes against it 
instead of 1001.

As I probably said years ago: Even though I forgive Plurality failure, that 
result is a little too much to forgive, if A is favorite to a million, B is 
favorite to a million, and C shares first choice for two voters.

That’s regrettable, because MMPO was my favorite brief proposal, because of 
its super-brief definition. (Results-wise, I liked MAMPO, MDDA, & MDDB 
better, because I knew that MMPO had a problem, though I didn’t remember 
what it was. But, because of its briefest definition, and consequent good 
winnability, MMPO was my favorite alternative simple rank method. But I have 
to reluctantly abandon it because of that completely inexcusable behavior 
that you pointed out.)
