Well, nweek 1 was basically a SoE without r0... the first real one 
happened during the DimShips crisis, when a wording difficulty resulted 
in many dimensions being undefined, such as our Entropies; the game 
might have been in a state of perpetual apocalypse, or maybe in a state 
of perpetual "Wonko wins"; we weren't sure, so we went on emergency 
mode.

It happened again, I think, when I won from the Gnome Scam - another 
four or five players immediately copied me, and we were in danger of 
the clock going off for two wweeks or so, with a lot of apocalypse in 
between. So we Recognized then, too.

I thought there was a third, but I don't remember the whys or 
wherefores... if the records were up I could find out, but they aren't.

To get the nweeks of any of those, I'd need to check the list archives.
