My automation script definition went as follows:
{
I add to it that at the beginning of every nweek, I take back my proxy 
if another player has it, then give it to the player who gave me the 
greatest number of BNS during the previous nweek, or the player of 
Dave's choice if there is a tie for who gave me the most BNS.
}

So there is a tiebreaker, and it's up to Dave.
I don't think there was a tie, though - bd gave me 1 BNS, then the 
Voice gave me 20, then bd gave me 20. Final score: Voice-20, bd-21. bd 
outbid the Voice, so e gets the proxy.

And anyone else could have gotten it for only 22 BNS...
