On various definitions of a simple game

The definition of a simple game differs across sources; monotonicity or properness is often assumed. The first version of this article adopts a inclusive definition that can handle various definitions easily. Namely, the definition goes: "A simple game (voting game) is a collection $W$ of coalitions." "We assume that $W$ is nonempty and does not contain an empty set." It is advisable not to change this definition, since some results may be no longer true if the definition is modified. When citing a result from a source, be careful to check if a "simple game" there is assumed to have some extra properties like monotonicity. If so, explicitly mention such assumptions here. In this way, we could avoid possible confusion.--Theorist2 (talk) 02:44, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

Lead is too parenthetical for my taste

For the record, I found the lead hard to read with this many interjected parentheticals, most appearing to provide shallow synonyms. — MaxEnt 01:21, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
