The Fires would all go out if we jumped to nweek 18, as the Clock's nweek 
value would have changed, causing a new nweek to begin.

The proposals are more confusing - if we move up the end of the nweek, then 
logically, Voting must have already started, as it starts on the "third to 
last nday of that nweek". Since nobody voted, all the proposals fail, which 
is probably not the effect you had in mind.

However, if they were all discarded, I don't see anything wrong with that. 
Just leave 'em in the Database somewhere, with a little note saying the 
proposal was discarded. Just because they've been excised from the gamestate 
doesn't mean we can't write 'em down.
