YARG - Yet Another RAND Game [Isokron's Midgard wins!]

Nobody chastise anyone. There are just alternate ways to get an answer without revealing your identity.
Since your question isn't specifically related to this very game, but to basic game mechanics - you could have just started a thread in Dominions section:
"Guys, I'm in the game with VP's placed in capitals, and I have questions:
1) Do you have to hold vps for any particular length of time in order to win?
2) Does being in the castle but sieged count as owning the vp?"

To be fair, usually in games that have VPs, you are expected to hold them for a number of turns. This game is the only exception to that that I've seen. The OP is pretty clear if you read it literally, but it's always possible the game creator just forgot about something when creating the game. Anyway it's good to make sure of this now, before too much drama occurs.
