Hmmm... It's not clear to me how the Pacific's selection system works. It may be 5-seat STV, or it may be 5-seat/5-vote FPTP.
If it's 5-seat STV, Ogis was elected to the Convention (by virtue of Lunar and CultureKing having no first preferences), but he is eliminated for being ineligible as a banned user and so CultureKing narrowly edges out Lunar. Bgwah, Marokai, Meeker and MaxQue are elected in this circumstance. (I think, not certain on quite how it would work, Lunar might edge MaxQue despite having no first preferences.)
But, If it's 5-seat/5-vote FPTP, Bgwah, Meeker, Lunar and Marokai are elected with CultureKing and MaxQue tied.
In the announcement of candidates' nominations, Cultureking raised the question of whether it was to be elected by STV or Multiple FPTP, however the question was never answered:
So, how do we want to go about this? Have everyone put their preferences in order? Vote for five and the ones with most votes becomes the delegates?
The first vote, by Bgwah suggested that he believed that a Multiple FPTP method was to be practiced:
I'll give my five votes to:
All subsequent voters likewise allocated five votes, and without allocating preference numbers (although an order of preference may be implied by the order in which the candidates' names were listed). It would seem, however, that most voters adopted a multiple FPTP methodology and by your analysis, Cultureking and MaxQue are tied. Perhaps a run-off may be necessary?
