Is it time for the thread to close?

This is just a suggestion , but 300+ posts are a lot I think.Perhaps you should open Part 4?

Lumpkin: Actually no, it doesn't . I've recently received an e-mail from Pawel Lewicki. I publish it here, translated:

"The members of the Polish intelligence to this day have towards their British counterparts, as the latter have credited themselves with most of the accomplishements associated with the Enigma decryption.
The facts (after PWN) Translators note PWN - Polskie Wydawnictwa Naukowe is National Science Publishing:
A replica of the Nazi Enigma had been built in a Polish decryption center near Warsaw (among the contributors towards making it were mathematicians Jerzy Rajewski and Henryk Zygalski). The machine enabled a mechanical decryption of Nazi transmissions. In July, 1939, copies of the machine were given to Great Britain and France (one each). In September the decrypting group was evacuated and reactivated in France. It had worked in close cooperation with the British, who, basing on the accomplishements of the Polish cryptologists, built a monitoring center."

I hope that clears things up .

Well lockstep, i'm voting for the Thais myself, and many people are voting for the Khmers.

As for the Poles, here's a cool map to show you the times when Poland was a major world power:

I voted for the Polynesians myself. IMHO, another African civ should be in, too. I voted for the Bantus, but I guess I'll change it to the Ethiopians since Bantus aren't doing so hot (2 votes currently). So, vote change:

-20 Bantus
+20 Ethiopians

[Lumpkin]

Okay, clearly both Britain and Poland played a very important role in cracking the enigma code. I don't know enough about the mathematics behind the code to say "okay, Pole did 30% and Britain did 70%" so lets just say Enigma was cracked by both countries

JellyDonut,

The Ethiopians' sucess is already guaranteed. If you think more Africans should be in (as I do) vote for the Mali - they've already reached #18 reached the top 16 so just a few more votes and they'll be in the the top 16!

Another civ which needs your help is #20, the Khmer. South-East Asia is a big important region with plenty of genuine city-based historical civilizations, which the Khmer represent. Just a few more votes and they'll be in! If only the Siam/Thai vote could be agglomerated.

The Koreans (#15) could also do with a bit of bolstering to keep them in the top 16.

But poles cracked enigma...

The reason why the other parts closed was that the first thread messed up and didn't allow posting, and the second thread was not started by Locutus, so he could not update the list.
I see no reason why more then 300 posts should result in closing the thread.

Lumpkin: To put it shortly - I second Mankind's post.

Alright, here go my last free points:

Czech +2
Slovak +7
Latvians +11
Koreans +20
