<p dir="ltr">Henceforth, when I say "NEO" I refer to Smith//NEO.</p>
<p dir="ltr">To refer to NEO by itself, I'll say "Plain NEO".</p>
<p dir="ltr">MMPO tie rule:</p>
<p dir="ltr">When 2 or more candidates have the same max pairwise opposition, then compare their next-largest pairwise opposition.</p>
<p dir="ltr">If there's still a tie, then keep applying the above rule until there isn't.</p>
<p dir="ltr">(end of MMPO tie rule)</p>
<p dir="ltr">Complete Plain NEO rules:</p>
<p dir="ltr">The winner is the candidate who wins at the most Approval Nash equilibria. </p>
<p dir="ltr">If there's a tie, then re-apply the above rule with only the tied candidates in the election.</p>
<p dir="ltr">If, at any stage, the tie can't be reduced, of there are no Aporoval Nash equilibria, then the winner is the candidate with highest top-count.</p>
<p dir="ltr">(end of Plain NEO rules )</p>
<p dir="ltr">Smith//MMPO:</p>
<p dir="ltr">Apply MMPO to the Smith-set, having eliminated the other candidates.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Smith//NEO:</p>
<p dir="ltr">Apply Plain NEO to the Smith-set, having eliminated the other candidates.</p>

<p dir="ltr">As I said, " NEO" means Smith//NEO.</p>
<p dir="ltr">NEO and Smith//MMPO both have no chicken-dilemma, and they both have MAM-like strategy.</p>
<p dir="ltr">MAM-like strategy:</p>
<p dir="ltr">Truncation can't defeat a CWs (sincere CW).</p>
<p dir="ltr">Defensive truncation (plumping) by the CWs's voters thwarts & penalizes burial.</p>
<p dir="ltr">(end of dfn)</p>
<p dir="ltr">A difference between the properties of NEO and Smith//MMPO:</p>
<p dir="ltr">In the Chicken-Dilemma example, Smith//MMPO elects A, and NEO elects C.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I'd previously said that NEO elects A, but that was incorrect.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In the Chicken-Dilemma example each of the 3 candidates has an Approval Nash equilibrium that elects hir.</p>
<p dir="ltr">So the highest top-count wins. C wins.</p>
<p dir="ltr">People at EM prefer to not elect A, though I find nothing unqualified about the most top-ranked candidate who doesn't have a majority defeat.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Smith//MMPO elects A. NEO elects C.</p>
<p dir="ltr">About burial, it won't often be a problem to you, even if the CWs's voters don't plump, unless hir voters rank the buriers' candidate over someone you prefer to the buriers' candidate.</p>
