I knew nothing about all this stuff when I started writing the Posts proposal, but I quickly fell for Borda; It's very simple, and honestly seems to be fairer than first-past-the-post. Plus, more importantly, it's less likely to end up in a tie. Anyone who wants to implement Condorcet has my extreme-impressedness vote, if they can actually manage to put it into rules in simple English in less than 5000 words!
