Let me apply this to my evil testcase. :-) 19x A=DB 19x ABD 1x BA=D A defeats B by 38 to 1 A defeats D by 19 to 0 B defeats D by 20 to 19. On the A->B->D defeat path, A defeats D with 20 positive votes at the weakest link, which makes quorum, and A wins. Yep, this fixes the perverse result I was talking about in another thread (where Manoj's proposal causes B to win). Am I correct, Markus? --Nathanael
