[SM & TM2!] Need early feedback for an awesome tool in de...

unfortunatly for your tool,
it takes sometime really too long before giving an answer ...
that gave me enough time to check all servers with players in Canyon, Valley and Stadium ...

I think your tool can be really usefull after midnight when there are really few players running
but maybe I missed something

I created it because when I look for Joust, Combo, etc there is not enough players maybe 90% of the time and I am sure many others have this problem to similar extent. Continuous automated searching of servers helps a lot but the tool also arranges matches among its users which is really important, it makes happen matches that would not have happened, see example about InstaDM in my first post. So I think if the tool gets proper reception after it gets released, then people will be able to find matches a lot more frequent for modes that are played rarely like for example Joust, ArenaDuel, BattlePro, etc.
The reason the search is not instant is because the server side of the tool must download information about all the servers, it does it once in every 100 seconds because there is limit on amount of requests to maniaplanet web services. Maybe there is space for optimization but it won't improve things significantly.

That's why I told it should be really usefull after midnight (on TM)
I still think this tool can be great if enough players use it
but that will certainly be the hardest part of your work ...

keep going and thanks for this work
