Round 1: Computing pairwise matrix.
Smith set is TrueLeadership
Candidate TrueLeadership is elected.
Winner is TrueLeadership.
In the table above, each row shows the number of people that preferred one test over the other. So, looking at the first row, 9 people preferred Reborn over True Leadership, 9 preferred Reborn over New Trust, etc. Looking at the table by eye, the top several are True Leadership, Plantation and Snake, roughly in that order.
This wasn't the official method chosen for the poll, but the result is included here to demonstrate True Leadership had a clear win. The condorcet method has the advantage that it'll choose a winner that's most acceptable to everyone, rather than just the outright majority winner.
