I'm curious - I'm afraid that doesn't mean that I'm necessarily helpful... :-;

You are helpful in many ways.

When you our ballots for a council of five seats, you get as the winners:

{Ace McWicked, AD, Armondikov, Blue, and Genghis Khant}

If you do so for a council of six seats, winners are:

{Ace McWicked, AD, Blue, Genghis Khant, WaitingforGodot, Weaseloid}

So Armondikov is in the smaller body, but not in the bigger (here you find Weaeloid and WaitingforGodot). At least this realization of the STV lacks the expected monotony when enlarging the number of winners: you would expect that every one who is voted into a council of n seats gets a place in a council of n+1 seats.

This monotony is necessary to determine a rank of the winners, which helps to determine moderators and alternatives.

With more seats, the threshold becomes lower, and as a result more votes are transferred, which allows Weaseloid and WfG to win over Armondikov.
