I think @chilean way and @MortalCaso should both get points.

 

Curation of pools is such a bind, ha!

Interesting when I find out new pools that I did not know existed before. Is this a pool anyone can join at any time? Or did it start in 2023 and will keep going till the end with participants already signed up in the beginning

Anyone can join in at any time, bar times like these between the announcement of a death (or deaths) and a new round being declared. It's similar in that way to the Oldest Living State Leaders Pool, which I partake in despite its creation years before I was even aware of this site.
