The title combines CivIV and its two expansion packs Warlods and Beyond the Sword which retails for $39.99US.

One entry per person; note that any responses that indicate they have been edited will not be considered. Further, if selected, one must respond with mailing address and phone number for delivery within the specified time period. The judging of these entries is being done by Daniel "DanQ" Quick, PolyCast's owner, primary editor and one of its flagship show's regular co-hosts.

The total retail value of these prizes exceeds $1000US (related reference: signed litograph by Meier, valued at $99.99US).

Kool Idea Dan.

I hope you get some really creative responses.

Dan, two questions:
1) What is the criteria upon which the responses will be evaluated?
2) What is the prospective audience? To wit: will the catch-phrase be used in marketing or something?

Civilization IV makes my life complete by whispering in my ear all day that Civ is all I need.

[Maniac]

Civilization IV makes my life complete
By buying a package très petite
And simply typing on my keyboard
Allowing me to be a Warlord
Or rather play Beyond the Sword

[Lord Avalon]

Sorry, it doesn't make my life complete - I always need one more turn.

[Felch]

Maniac, limericks are A,A,B,B,A

[rah]

Civilization IV makes my life complete
because even in defeat,
I always forget to eat
which leaves my tummy petite.
So the women feed me treats
while basking at my feet.
