Proposal 1953/0: What's a Win without the Glory?
A Standard Proposal by Zarpint
Last modified on nweek 74, nday 1

Change r27 to:
{{
If a player's score ever exceeds 1000 points, e receives 1
Permanent Glory, all points are destroyed, and this rule becomes
Deactivated. That Player is said to have won.

Awarding a Player a Win means to increase eir Permanent Glory by
1. This does not destroy all points or deactivate this Rule.
Awarding a Win is an Action that may only be performed as
explicitly specified in the Ruleset.
}}

Award Rodney a Win.

E already got a Win, and I don't think I'd vote to give em another... But if you'd like to give em a point of Glory, that's fine.

I don't think Awarding a Win should be an Action; a player is awarded a win when the rules say so, but no entity actually Awards Wins to other players. This phrasing implies that I might be able to Award wins to other players should I so desire.

Also, putting all of this in the same rule means that if I get 1000 points, suddenly 'Awarding a Player a Win' no longer means increasing eir Permanent Glory by 1, as the defining rule is deactivated.
