just saying
easy...the script is faster than the waitlist function.
the waitlist seems to have an amount of time where it lags before it reserves the seat. since you set how many players you want to be at the table, my guess woudl be that the software is designed to sweep the lobby every x seconds (maybe ms) and look for a table with the correct parameters you entered, then once it finds a table it reserves it in whatever order you're on the waitlist.
the lobby in general has a noticeable lag. you can look at a table and it says 6/6 seated...but when you open the table, only 1 person is sitting there. my guess is this lag in the lobby is how the seating scripts are constantly beating the watilist function.
there are 1 or 2 regs that are ALWAYS first to the table, and are quite clearly using a script. their scripts are likely sweeping the lobby constantly and at a much faster rate, or they just ahve all the empty tables open, so there's no lag, therefore when a new table starts, they are snagging the best seat before the waitlist realizes a table is even dealing (since the waitlist is looking at the lobby, rather than the actual tables), and the script takest he seat before the walitist has a chance to start reserving seats.
idk, the above is all just my own theory on waht's going on
