Well, I see your post. There's not really a whole lot I can do about it at the moment. Wraithlord's idea might work. I could also have the server send the turn to me and then send it on to you. I know I've got your email address somewhere but I've failed to properly label it, which is slightly a problem. Anyway, decide what you want to do and we'll see what happens.

OK, the turn file(s) came through. Just seems like they were slow. Zeldor mentioned the same problem in another thread regarding another game. But like I said, seems to be cleared up now

Good to hear

Wraithlord,

Can we get clarification on the Victory Conditions since one player (unknown) has 8 VPs now?

I have 2 questions.

1) Do you have to hold vps for any particular length of time?

2) Does being in the castle but seiged count as owning the vp?

1) No, the person who gains 9 VP's is an automatically declared winner the very next turn.
2) VP is controlled by the nation inside the castle.

And, P.S. This is an anonymous game, so think before posting. You are not in the lists for this game, which means you are a sub, and there was only 1 sub recently, so it's not very difficult to figure out which nation you are. Not that it really matters at current stage of the game, but still, rules are rules.

WingedDog has it right

I gave him permission to post. Guess I should have done the asking for him to avoid problems :P

Let's see if I get this right. I can't send PM's to Wraithlord for clarification because he won't read them. And I did talk to rdonj before posting. So basically you guys are chastising me for using the only forum available to get clarification?

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.
