The highest proposal number ever used in B Nomic, as far as I can

<proposal id="2056" rev="0">
<type>Standard Proposal</type>
<title>An nweekly subgame</title>
<author>Wonko</author>
<birthdate>
<nweek>84</nweek>
<nday>3</nday>
</birthdate>
<body>[[
Ok, here's something that can be done every nweek with no penalty if
you miss a few weeks. Basically, every week a different Literary Form
is chosen and the bonus for that form is doubled, so it becomes a
challenge to make lots of Limericks, or lots of Haikus, or what have
you.

Create a new rule:
{{
__Literary Contest__
At the beginning of each nweek, the GM selects a Literary Form at
random. This form becomes the Canonical Form for that nweek. The Form
Bonus for props in Canonical Form is doubled.

</proposal>
Shortly after this proposal was made, the server that was hosting
bnomic.org metamorphosed into what The Dave described as a "$300
paperweight". The resulting emergency led to a dramatic restructuring
of the game, when a refresh proposal passed containing the text
"Replace the ruleset with:"
