I noticed 2 things. It pulled up all 4 of my games but one of them that I finished with my turn a few minutes before, still lists it as my turn. The players are also not in the correct order.
Also, There is a game I joined that the first person still has not taken their turn. RiCo list the game number but none of the players.
I'm not complaining, just giving feedback.
Thanks again for your hard work.
Yes, thanks for sharing a very cool tool. I didn't test the proxy function either since I too directly connect to the internet as well. The name and password work well.
I noticed a couple of problems:
1) In several of the games it reported that players had a negative number of cards (Games 296965, 318316, and 318367).
2) It seemed to miss listing some of the still active players for certain active games (333112 and 333270).
Other than those two problems it seemed to work well.
Pros:
Some people cannot use the Firefox browser and therefore cannot use the greasemonkey scripts. This new tool doesn't require either Firefox or greasemokey.
Cons:
I like the fact that the greasemonkey scripts integrate themselves into the game window and appear to be part of the game.
I love Tr0y's greasemonkey script (especially with the Roberts Mods by stocksr) which provides additional very important information such as the expected number of armies due each player next turn.
I love the ability to modify the greasemonkey script myself. Granted not everyone is going to want to do this, but if I want to modify how the expected number of armies due each player is calculated, I can go into the script and change it.
So, my overall evaluation is use the Conquer Club greasemonkey script if you can, if you can't for some reason you should use the new tool.
One important note: when you configure this new application it requires you to provide your username and password so that it can log into the site and obtain the information it needs. Well, you are essentially giving away this important security information to the tool to do with it what it wishes. Now, I'm not accusing the author of any nefarious purpose, but the fact remains that you are somewhat vulnerable when you use this tool. So my recommendation is that you try the tool if you are interested. After you have tried the tool and if you decide not to keep using it, then immediately change your password at CC using the Change My Password menu from the My Settings option of the Personal Menu. Then you will be back to being the only one who knows your password.
Thanks for sharing your tool. Nice work.
