I think it is possible, for instance if you give a point for every
ballot on which the candidate isn't ranked last or equal-last.

For that to work the definition of "to clone" needs to require that
new clones be ranked either all equal-last, or all above-last. Since
"equal-last" could just be truncation, I don't think this is a problem.

What is interesting, is whether any properties can be added to these
two. Majority favorite or a pairwise comparison in particular.

It can, even with three candidates. (Same winners as Schulze in that
case.) It satisfies FBC to merely regard minimum opposition, but not
to add a scheme to this that will satisfy Condorcet.
