Milestones
- A (clearly calculated) Fangamer drop resulted in a total of $123,456.78. Serge was overcome.
- At 20:30 on Wednesday November 14 (130:30 into the run), we reached Five. Million. Dollars. Lifetime.
Notable Events and Memes
- Before the run started, James said he'd buy everybody ice cream if $15,000 was raised before start time. This was done, easily breaking the previous pre-run record; the ice-cream party was scheduled for the Thursday night of the run.
- This year, the Bone Zone was replaced by Kevin's Korner.
- "Kevin" was a robot camera, used both for closeups and zoom/pan shots around the room.
- Every prize came with a Desert Bus for Hope "1 DBloon" challenge coin. (One was also given to each of the crafters.)
- There were pronoun pins optionally worn by people on set: purple for he/him, yellow for she/her, blue for they/them.
- At 5 minutes past each hour, the overlay presented currency conversions for the total amount raised into pounds, Canadian dollars, Australian dollars, and euros.
- Congratulations! played often, with various degrees of sincerity. (Wark Wark became an associated meme in chat.)
- Any donation amount containing the digits "69" caused the overlay to change from "LATEST DONATION" to "NIIIIICE DONATION."
- The random dance party button was made by Ian, and involved a longer process than ever before: it needed to be armed before use...and the number of buttons that need to be pressed simultaneously grew by the day.
- Ashley was adamant about people getting donor accounts; in response, there was much riffing on "No Donor Account" in people's account names toward the end of her driver shift.
- The rule against open containers of liquid on the set was suspended for games of Coffee Pong between Serge and James, with escalating ice-cream-related stakes.
- #TeamOrder and #TeamChaos continue their rivalry; the latter is now commonly pronounced "Chowse." Because that's more chaotic.
- As the total reached exact increments of $5,000, the UI font turned to Wingdings.
