Default Cheating everywhere, GMs???

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMzY5NHuEzc

This is a video I made to expose the use of 3rd party software to race (clear TOS violation). The easiest way to see it is in the obvious discrepancy in reaction times. To show that I had to make a video where you can actually count frames, do the math, and sync up several races in a row to show a pattern. Then take that data and do a statistical analysis to demonstrate its actually NOT humanly possible. Keep in mind, I only chose races that were easy to demonstrate this point. There were plenty of races that I left out simply because I had to "cut off" this project at some point, so there's enough out there for a Part 2 to this (possibly even a part 3).

Why Make This Public? Frustration, I spent 2 months making this video petition only to have it sit on the desk of the GMs for 3 months now. Also its a warning to anyone thinking of playing Project1999 to know what you're getting in to, if you are looking for a new TLP server.

------------------------------------------------

Stats for nerds: A little bit more on the statistics, the standard deviation of reaction time is 35ms for humans. This is defined as the window where 68% of all data points reside. So if you are 70ms faster than the median reaction time that is known as a '2 sigma event' meaning you're in the top 32% of reaction time. So some important numbers.
-5 Sigma Event: Odds are 1 in 3.5 million, or a 175ms reaction time advantage
-6 Sigma Event: Odds are 1 in 500 million, or a 210ms reaction time advantage
In the video we used the second fastest racer as opposed to the median racer due to simplicity. If we calculated based on the median reaction time for that race, the odds would be far worse. If anyone here has a better grasp of statistics, please do not hesitate to correct me. But I feel that will only show the odds being FAR less likely than I found in my conservative estimates.

In the defense of the GMs, it is possible that TOS violations are above their pay grade and only the server admins, who rarely interact with the server, are able to handle this (hopefully they see this!). However it took me 2 months to research and make that video and it sat on the desk of the GMs for 3 months without a single reply, all while my guild slowly dies and the offending guild continually brags about beating us week after week.
