Flush Count
With the setup for Desert Bus for Hope 7, the piping in the moon base was set close to the microphone for the driver camera. This resulted in the flushing of the toilet in the Moonbase being quite audibly heard within the stream, and commented on - which the Chat quite obviously latched onto early.
While initially it had been set up so that those in the moon base would be keeping track of this, this soon ran awry as the counter they had only went up to 6. Following this, a shared online spreadsheet would be made, and elaborated on to a excessive degree. Some of the more unique peculiarities of this would end up being:
- Total Flushes
- Average Flushes per hour
- Value per flush
- Flushes per hour per person
- Gallons Flushed
This would all accumulate to the "Flush King", a title awarded to the driver during which the most flushes occurred. For DBFH7, this was <Name>
Additionally, other stats would be recorded on this as well, such as:
- Things Knocked Over
- Chat Crashes
- Dance Party Button presses
- Math Fails
- Feed Crashes
Which were not necessarily as tracked as well as the flushes during the course of the event.
Desert Bus Picks the NFL Winners
As in previous years, Desert Bus for Hope began on a weekend during the U.S. Football (NFL) season and this year, it was Cam's turn to predict which team would win and why. These decisions were made knowing nothing about the teams playing other than their team names. A U.K. viewer named Jamie then bet $1.00 USD (about $1.67 GBP) on each game and said that he would donate all of his winnings. As of Monday evening, LRR's final record was 6 wins, 2 losses, and X ties, raising $X.00 (rounded up) for Child's Play.
