[EM] Funny method

[Kristofer Munsterhjelm]

Here's a funny cycle-breaker method indirectly inspired by a private 
discussion with Colin Champion. I'm not proposing it in practice, but it 
would be an amusing thing to put in a story:

1. Before the election, every candidate states how long his term of 
office will be if he's elected. There's a maximum term limit.
2. The election is conducted.
3. If there's a CW, the CW wins at the fixed maximum term.
4. Otherwise, any candidates who wishe to withdraw do so.
5. If there's still a cycle, then the Smith set candidate with the 
shortest offered term of office is elected. (Optionally, that candidate 
can't stand for the next election, to limit troll candidates with 
one-day term shenanigans.)

In essence, the candidates bid for the right of tie odds. Perhaps I 
should call it Armageddon, like the chess format :-)
