I should get the cardinal (and cardinal hybrid) simulation results done 
in time, so that shouldn't be a problem.

My simulator currently also returns how often a method fails to 
different particular strategies: burial, compromising, either (the same 
election is vulnerable to any of the two), and other strategies (for 
ranked methods, usually pushover). So reporting that should be 
relatively easy.

However, implementing per-faction stats would be much more difficult. I 
don't want to put pressure on myself to get it done, but I don't want to 
hold up the poll either.

So I would support the status quo. I'll write a post about the cardinal 
and hybrid methods when I've verified the results, and probably post a 
link to the per-strategy breakdown.

If I get to implement additional methods or stats reporting within the 
deadline, then that's all icing. But if not, I would suggest just going 
with what we have.
