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)

It seems people really like 4. I know some of the reviews I read of my strategy game oriented steam friends lean towards 4 (I know chronicdiscord had more positives to say about Civ 4 and not so much to say about Civ 5). I personally only played Civ V and liked it, though.

Yeah that's the only problem with this sort of giveaway, there are definitely people out there who probably haven't played civlization or many strategy games at all but would still love this, the problem is I have no way of knowing who would like it and who wouldn't :<

Hey Monukai. Why do I think I deserve your extra copy? I've been looking forward to winning this game for a while and have tried frequently.

"Oh what's that? I DID win earlier this week!? Well hot damn that's awesome. Wait, what do you mean he's suspended and now banned from the group?"

/sadface So I did win a copy but due to a bad SG member, I won't be getting my won copy :( So, that's why I think I might be deserving of your extra copy to right this wrong this week.

Cheers!

Long time ago when i was in college i pre-ordered CIV4, I never played it much untill recently. I'm pretty addicited to it, got a good 100 hours into 4. My little brother told me the 5th one came out recently, But it's very expensive, i'm married now and the house payments are very high, plus with the food cost. So me and my wife will play 4 together and it's lots of fun. I've been wanting to play CIV5 but i think it would be a great gift for my wife, who's birthday is coming up in a couple of weeks. (She also likes CIV4 we plan LAN games alot) So there's my story. I really hope you could help me out with this. It would be a great present for her :)

I went to a place called xzone, a gaming cafe.

I played a game of Civ V for 8 hours straight (A few breaks of course). Was just amazing, and easily one of the games I could most just get into and play; keeping in mind this was the first time I had played the Civ series.

And seeing im only 16 and dont have a job, I never followed up buying the game :/

Give it to me. I deserve it.

jk, I'm not really interested. I realize I suck at strategy games and find them kinda boring too. "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." You should do this from the start (For the people who are really interested) would make it more fun and no hard feelings in it. :p
