1st, 2 corrections:

Contrary to what I said, U/P has chicken dilemma.

I was mistaken to say that, in 3-Slot ICT, U/P, & TTR MGR, a majority
faction who mistakenly approve Middle won't thereby give away the election.
Those methods don't have that property.

None of those 3 methods makes a good unlimited rankings method.

3-Slot ICT is Approval without chicken-dilemma, & it's my favourite method.

TTR MGR may well be as good, but it's more complicated.
