Poll: Should this be implemented?

I wasn't too surprised by the outcome of the poll and hence why I made it a public poll from the outset. Analysing those who voted for either yes or no was somewhat interesting...

Firstly, we have the average distance from the server for those who voted yes or no:

Unsurprisingly, those who voted 'no' (to implementing the suggestion), were on average 32% more miles away from the server than those who voted 'yes'. This was calculated using the country codes provided on the user's statistics page.

I then thought let's consider the voters' cop and robber XP:

As the data shows, both groups of voters had higher cop XP than robber XP. However, what the data also tells you is those who voted 'yes' had 107% more cop XP on average than those who voted 'no'. This is some indication that those who voted yes have more of a clue about what they're on about. Though admittedly, there is a higher error term attached to 'yes' voters due to the smaller sample size.

Let us also consider how much time the voters have spent playing the role as either a cop or a robber:

We can see that those who voted 'yes' had spent 68% more time as a cop than those who voted 'no', again, clearly showing those who voted 'yes' have more of an idea about the effects lag has on a chase than those who voted 'no'.

All in all, I do not believe the suggestion should be wiped out based solely on the poll. It is evident that there are strong biases present in the data and those with the copping experience to make an educated vote have been drowned by the robbers (quite rightly) seeking to protect their own interests. I wholeheartedly believe such a change would help to bring more stability and fairness to chases.

As the above shows, your point lacks substance.
