The Hype Train Begin Event should include the first two people who started the train…

The way it works now you get the 3rd “starter” in last\_contribution and have to hope he contributed less than the first two “starters” so they both appear in top\_contributors.

It would really be smart to add previous\_contributors to the Hype Train Begin event for ease of mind…
