Notes[]

  1. Based on Jake's recollection of his seventh birthday, he was seven in May 2016 when Coyote Tango fought Onibaba.
  2. Travis Beacham: "@JamesHayBar Not annoying at all. Cherno was launched in 2015, with the other 1's, and has survived until 2024 as noted on the graph."
  3. Jasper Schoenfeld: "[...]I got there at the end of the first day, just in time to catch Pentecost's closing remarks. He was a mere consultant back then. There was no PPDC yet."
