The problem with trying to do this kind of analyisis is you are not taking into account the time it takes for data packets to reach different clients. If the person rolling and Furoar both live close to the P99 server, and they have very fast internet, they may recieve the data packet faster than you, especially if you live farther away. It isn't like everybody got the data at the exact same time, this is a multiplayer game, and not even one hosted by a large company.

The stock market is a good example here. Companies literally buy property as close as they can to the servers that handle stock transactions so they can get their data sent to the server faster than anyone else.
