Here are the results on an actual election:

Perata (or maybe someone in his camp) accuses the other candidates of "gaming
the system" by promoting each other as 2nd choices.
Some challengers tried to do that to IRV-leader Kriss Worthington too, but he
won by a landslide.
What you could really do if you are serious about promoting a different ranking
system is to download the "Demochoice Code" and rewrite it to use your
preferred voting system, then put it online, because the code is public domain.
