<p dir="ltr">But 3-Slot ICT meets FBC, & amounts to Approval without chicken-dilemma.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I'd offer it as "Deluxe Approval".</p>

</span><p dir="ltr">Sequential-Pairwise is an easy way to get Smith in show-of-hands voting in a meeting.</p>
<p dir="ltr">But it's only for nonstrategic amicable electorates.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Sag the B voters doubt that B will survive it's pairwise comparison with A.</p>
<p dir="ltr">So they insincerely vote some C over A, to eliminate A before it gets to B.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Say you're an A voter. You're now presentated with a situation in which you must choose between letting B win, or retaliating by insincerely voting someone over B to eliminate it, resulting in a win for something much worse.</p>
<p dir="ltr">...a choice between capitulation, or costly retaliation.</p>
