To me the price MMPO (MinMax Pairwise Opposition) pays for strategy benefits
you describe is just far too high,<br>
failing as it does (Mutual) Majority and Clone-Winner. (Also very unattractive
to me is that it combines meeting<br>
Later-no-harm with failing Later-no-help, and thus having a zero-information
random-fill incentive.)<br>
<br>
A method that seems to perform as well in all your 3-candidate scenarios
with lots of lazy truncating voters, is <br>
Raynaud(Gross) with the tiebreaker suggested by Gervase Lam. (It could
also be called Raynaud(opposing votes)<br>
or Max Pairwise Opposition Elimination).<br>
<br>
This would fail Mono-raise, but at least meet Clone Independence and (Mutual)
Majority. So in my view it is <b>much</b><br>
better! What do you think?<br>
