<br> <br>wow. you just don't listen. here we go again. <br> <br>if there's a condorcet winner, then dsv will indeed act in your best <br> interest. but the problem is when there's a cycle, in which case dsv
<br> will cycle infinitely, trying to improve each faction's result. <br> eventually, there has to be a cycle resolution system. so say x/y/z <br> are going in a cycle, and x is declared the winner of that resolution
<br> process. <br><br>now what does dsv do for the majority who prefers y to x? nothing! <br> it says, "sorry, i have to stop cycling and pick a winner." <br><br>that's when they wish they had lied and said that z was their
<br> favorite, preventing the cycle, and getting their second choice <br> instead of their third. <br> <br>bottom line: dsv = condorcet, and can be gamed. your next step, after <br> finally accepting this reality, is to understand why your subsequent
<br> objection (that it is infeasible to game condorcet) is also wrong. <br> <br>but let's go one step at a time.<br>
