It's over, thanks so much for all your responses, was fun reading through them all. Grats to fbc123 for winning the giveaway I made for some of the most deserving entrants. I wish I had a copy for you all :(

Simple. I have an extra copy of Civilization V and have been unsure with what to do with it--until now. I'd like it to go to someone who will appreciate/enjoy it, so I want you all to tell me why you think that's you. You can write out a reason, sing a song, make a picture, I don't care. As long as you get your message across, it doesn't matter what you do

Having some played time in the older Civ titles or Civ like games on Steam will help your case. If it's apparent by your game library you are a fan of strategy/turn based strategy games that will also help your cause. Having this game on your wishlist before today's date (today being the day I posted this) will work in your favor, as well. There is no need to post this information, I'll take a look at that as well, unless your profile is private.

Whatever you have to post, post it here on this thread. Friending me on Steam won't help your chances, and in fact will most likely hurt your chances of 'winning'. At 11:59 EST October 20th (GMT -5) I'll start reading through all the posts, you can still submit something after that date, and so long as I haven't chosen a winner by the time you submit your entry I'll still examine your submission.

Just so we're all clear, this is a very subjective decision I'll be making, although I'll eliminate certain biases (I won't favor friends or people I know, at least consciously :P). The only other thing to note is that I refuse to choose a winner who has regifted wins or has not claimed wins from SteamGifts.

In the event that I'm unable to choose between entries, I'll make a private giveaway and invite all of those I think deserving but cannot choose between.

tl;dr In reply to this thread, tell me why you deserve Civ V (hint: reading the entire post shows me you are interested in getting the game)

Well, I think that you could possibly give this game to me, because I really loved Civ IV, we've played this game a lot with my friends (warez) on hot seat and it was excellent, so i've bought the game. So I would like to try this game and enjoy it. My other turn base games are total wars, i've got them all except shogun. The next reason is that I have my 20th birthday on 21st October, so it would be really nice present:-)

Anyway thank you for the possibility to win something. See you

157,9 hours in Civilization V, the best strategy game in my opinion.

Well, the hoodie I'm wearing is pretty weathered and I could part with it, I guess. There is a jar of pickles that has been unopened I think. Close enough?

Well, I played Civ III quite a bit. But it long time ago (just one more turn, huh?). Tried to play it online with friends but without good results. I just couldn't stand waiting for a friend to give a command to every single worker (yes, you can call me noob as I automate most of them). A friend of mine gave his disk to try Civ IV, but at that time my laptop was way too weak to run it and it would crash instantly, so I haven't played that one. Hadn't played any other Civ since then.
But all of a sudden SG were almost flooded with Civ V giveaways, so I have been entering every single one of them (well, I definately have missed quick giveaways) in hopes I just might win one.
That is also the reason I came here, for a chance for one more turn.

I've only been playing for a little while but I know how the "just one more turn" thing goes. Okay, just until this temple gets built....okay this wonder is so close to finishing in this cities....OH i'm so close to that policy...oh boy my favorite research is almost done... 2 hours later finally saves and quits

Also, night elves ftw

There are others on here that would make a better sob story than me. But the Civ games are some of my all time favorite games. I still play the hell out of Civ 3 because it's the only Civ able to play on my laptop. And at home, I play Civ 4 when my mother in law visits. I haven't gotten Civ 5 yet because I can not justify a game purchase at the moment and money is always tight.

I can promise you that Civ 5 will become my most played Steam game.

I'd say keep it, but since you are giving it away just give it to someone who owns Civ III or IV and has played at least 100 hours on steam for proof.

This will make picking easy as they will play it for sure.

I didn't ever play a single chapter of Civilization,but I'm courius to try it.
I have no money to waste (maybe the game doesn't like me)because I can't find a job,so if you can gift it to me,maybe I will discover a news game that like me.

I'm intrested in mythology. And because of that i played Age of Mythology too much. With that game I met with strategie games. But other strategy games didn't make me enjoy. Just i liked AoM. Maybe this one is beautiful. But I don't want it too much. Because I don't know how this game is.
