The Condorcet explanation that Alex gave was perhaps a little dense, so I’m going to do my best to make this easier to explain.
The trick to Condorcet is the fact that the ballot that you fill out is not actually a ranked ballot, but rather a much larger ballot. A ballot that would look like this:
A -
B -
C -
D -
would actually break down to a bunch of different Conditions:
1:03 – Closing statements. Candidates rehash platforms, reiterate slogans and buzzwords. Mike will be fighting the War on Farm! Moderator asks for applause. Applause given. Everyone shuffles away.
1:00 – CrystalPlant: Can we expect the same level of commitment you [Tristan] have to your sweater on the board given that you are also running for VP Admin? Ans: I would basically be doing the same thing as I’m doing right now. Please wrap up, I want to go watch the Budget. (10 Nerd points to Naylor!)
