i dont deserve it

Well, first, although I did not enjoy Civ III, I totally loved Civ IV, though this was before I even had Steam (or internet actually) so you wont find it on my Steam and it's one of my favorite games.
I've tried Civ V and it's even better than the previous. I'm a poor guy, crisis been affecting my wallet and probably cannot afford anymore games till my birthday or Christmas (They are both basically on the same time, 26th December). And yes, if you check it, you'll see I have Civ V in my wishlist for a couple months now.

All my friends here have it and Im just the broke nigga in college

I like games.

I really want it, but I don't deserve it more than the next guy. I won't play the "I'm poor and need free things" card either. My account has quite a lot of games but I have wanted Civ V for a long time. I am really into games like Civ where it is a mixture of RTS and Tower Defense sort of.

I make awesome cookies. Beat that, world.

I've been a huge fan of strategy games for longer than most of the users of Steamgifts (and probably Steam) have been alive (25+ years).

I've also been a huge fan of Sid Meier's games for as long as I can remember, some of my favorites have been, Pirates! (I currently only have it for the PSP) and Civilization I & III (I have III on Steam). I've played quite a few of his other games as well, Alpha Centauri is quite good.

I'd love to try my hand at Civ V now.

Thanks.

Now i don't deserve it i really don't. i have tons of steam games But i am a strategy fan i used to play age of empires 1 and 2 a couple years back and 3 they were the most fun i had and that's what made me a Pc gamer today. I would like a new strategy game that i can sink my time and and have Fun. I've been wanting a new strategy game in a while and i think Civ5 should do it thanks for reading this like i said i don't deserve this but it would be nice if i got it.

I have been interested in the Civ games for a while, I am a mad fan of stratergy games but mainly the total war series, yes it does appear that on my profile I only have Empire total War but that is because I bought Rome Total War in the box and the rest of the games in the Anthology pack. I enjoyed Rome so much I gave my spare copy away to my friend.

Yoy may now ask, well if you love stratergy games why haven't you gone and bought Civ 5? Well here's why. I have been in China for the past year havent been able to top up my Steam account balance, therofere I have been buying lots of smaller indie games, and also many games here are blocked on the China store and if paying with a Chinese credit card is quite restricted, thus ensuring the only way I can get some games are through gifts or asking mates back home.

Would love it if you considered my proposal and I will try to think of something exciting to convince you further. Thanks for the opportunity

Because logical reasons

I'm a big fan of real-time and turn-based strategy games and have loved games like Age of Empires, Age of Mythology, Starcraft, Warcraft III, and Civilization since I was about ten years old. Most of my time has been spent playing the Age of Empires series, though. I was so excited to finally find a used copy of Age of Empires I at Goodwill for $2 one fateful day and from that point onward my life was changed forever. After that I bought Age of Empires II (several times, actually) and it has been my favorite strategy game since I was about 12 years old. I didn't like AoE III as much as the previous two but it was still pretty fun and a great way for me to relive some of my favorite memories of my childhood. I haven't actually tried to play Civilization since Civ II (and I was pretty young so it didn't make a lot of sense to me) but my favorite college professor is obsessed with Civ III and my girlfriend loves Civ IV so I figured I should try out the series again and see just how much it's improved in the last decade!

I've also had Civ V on my wishlist for awhile now, I just haven't really had the $30 to spend on it what with paying for college and all. I also have claimed all two of the games I've won on SteamGifts and not regifted any of them.

Anyway, thanks for your consideration and regardless of who wins I think this is a really cool thing of you to do and I'm glad that there are generous people like you still out there! :)

Because HATS.

Did you notice that penguins look like waiters, i mean do they actually serve something?
It'd be funny to see some of them at a party serving drinks n shit.

I need to get myself some penguins for the next party i throw.

well i would like civ V beacuse im big fan of strategy games I loved total war, CoH,Heroes of might and magic... but game that got me into strategy was civ III I still have CD and yes till this day a month doesn't pass without playing it When i first gotit i was like DAFAQ is this shit i wanted DOOM but i started playing and got addicted later i forgot bout DOOM and focused my time into strategy games first into total war series then even some of paradox's grand strategies but still civilisation will always be something sepecial to me ...something like a first car, you know ? something that defined part of you for the next few years.

THIS IS THE STORY OF A DAY WHERE THERE WAS ALL THIS BLOOD. A MAN WHO DIDNT GIVE ME A GAME WAS WALKING AROUND AND BLOOD STARTED COMING OUT OF HIM EVERYWHERE. THERE WAS SO MUCH BLOOD THAT IT FILLED UP AN ELEVATOR. HE WENT TO THE STORE AND THERE WAS JUST BLOOD ALL OVER THE PLACE! PEOPLE WERE SLIPPING IN IT AND THEY WERE ALL GROSSED OUT. HE TRIED TO GO SWIMMING AND ALL OF THE SHARKS WENT NUTS AND BITTENED EVERYBODY. HE GOT CHASED BY ALL THE VAMPIRES EVER. ONE TIME THE BLOOD GOT A KID AND A DOG. AT THE END OF THE DAY EVERYONE DECIDED THEY WOULD SEND HIM TO SPACE SO THAT HE WOULD STOP GETTING BLOOD EVERY WHERE. THE SCARIEST PART IS THAT THE MAN WAS YOU!!! (OR HE WAS A LADY IF YOU ARE A LADY) AND YOU FORGOT THAT THIS HAPPENED.

YOU SHOULD GIVE ME THE GAME BECAUSE I TOLD YOU THIS SO IT WOULD NOT HAPPEN TO YOU. I AM A GOOD MAN AND BELIEVE IN RESPONSIBLE STEWARDSHIP AND ALL TYEPS OF WEIRD SHIT LIKE THAT

I never play any of the Civ games, maybe is a good chance to try it

I am a fan of strategic games. A game that introduced me to the genre was Fire Emblem. I think that this game will be worth the time well spent.

convincing you i deserve it

I would love to play Civ 5.

ДАЙ МНЕ!!!

Monu pls

Well... i am achivment addict. Game have a lot of achivments, anyway never will have chance to buy it cuz it is too expensive
. That is it i think.

I don't deserve it, but my roommate has been wanting it desperately. Both of us have been entering giveaways for it for a while now, trying to get it for him. He's an RTS nut with a disturbing affection for Civ and Command&Conquer games.

So, being the good friend I am, I'm posting for him.

I think this thread should be closed because it motivates people to break the forum rules

Okay, I'm actually not really a fan of such games. But my girlfriend is, and I'm on a crusade to fix her gaming habits. Civ V would be a very powerful weapon against the evil of Social Gaming. You'd be doing great good in reducing the facebook playerbase of EA.
