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)

Because
Guarda il video di "War Of Change"

It's a truth that in love and war,
World's collide and hearts get broken,
I want to live like I know I'm dying,
Take up my cross, not be afraid

Is it true what they say, that words are weapons?
And if it is, then everybody best stop steppin',
Cause I got ten in my pocket that'll bend ya locket,
I'm tired of all these rockers sayin' come with me,
Wait, it's just about to break, it's more than I can take,
Everything's about to change,
I feel it in my veins, it's not going away,
Everything's about to change.
It creeps in like a thief in the night,
Without a sign, without a warning,
But we are ready and prepared to fight,
Raise up your swords, don't be afraid,

Why? Because ruling the world never gets old!
Because I wanna see if this year ghandi ends up as the "bad guy" again.
Because It's like watching a movie but living it.
Because being imaginative and creative makes it better.
And because I cant find a good strategy game lately.

I played long, long hours at Civ2, both alone and with friends.
You don't know what's the pleasure of actually conspiring with one another while writing AND at the same time being on Skype the whole games.
And the pleasure of bombing your own girlfriend's capital with an atom bomb is simply priceless xD
We abandoned Civ2 as it induced rage in us because of the constant conspirations and backstabs.

I'd love to try Civ5, as I can't really afford any other Civ game, really. Plus, I would play alone with the force of one thousand suns.

I don't really want the game myself (I'm fan of Civ 3), but I got a friend that got this game in her wishlist, and she really deserve it. She has to deal with a lot of stress lately, and I hope this game would cheer her up.

I have never played games like these so I would love to give it a hand since I know I will like it. I don't have any credit card, paypal or bank account so I miss every single Steam offer and indie packs.

So far, my favorite version of Civilization is the original board game. On the PC, my favorite is Civilization 2: Test of Time, for it's multiple maps in the same game.

I've played the Civ PC franchise since Civ 1 (on an Amiga 500), including the Call to Power spin offs. I was very disappointed when Civ III reverted to Civ 1 combat (where a Warrior could fend off and destroy a Battleship that started the encounter at full health). As a result, I didn't buy in to Civ IV.

I am open to the opportunity to be convinced that Civilization V is a worthy successor to Sid Meier's 1991 killer app.

I am a big fan of total war games(and all strategy games in general), you can see that in my profile. I had Civ 5 in my wishlist as well.

I'm not english, but I want to try to tell you why I'd want this game.
I think that Civilization V it's an amazing game for the fact that it has an incredible longevity and gameplay. Each match is different for the previous and will be different from the next. A great strategy game turn-based, with an amazing graphic in DX11.. what else? I've a few games in library in Steam.. 'cause I don't have the possibility to buy a lot of them, so I try to win something here, simply for have a chance to have a beautiful game like CIV V that give me the opportunity some time having fun.
What else? I hope you look my comment.. and choose me! I really want this game.. and I tell you in the way most sincerely possible.

Thank you (sorry for english).
