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.
