Yeah dude, we just went through a whole thing with reserved slots and the ruling was that no one wants them. Also roll the dice in a competitive style pub = a no no. Don't mean to rain on your parade, I appreciate the suggestion.
Well, I am not trying to be up in people faces but I just want some feedback on this. I got a couple of suggestions that I want to share with you guys. Please do not flame :P.

- Gold Donators get reserved slots (If they have it then okay)
- Roll the Dice mod (Remove the ones you dont like)

Those are both terrible server features that I've hated everywhere I've encountered them. Two of the reasons I don't stray from iO servers anymore.
I do not aim with my hand. I aim with my eye.
I do not shoot with my hand. I shoot with my mind.
I do not kill with my hand; he who kills with his hand has forgotten the face of his father. I kill with my heart.

Agreed. Even though RTD is really fun, I think a competitive server can't have it (at least in iO). I think the idea/prospect that someone could roll invulnerability/invincibility is just game breaking (again on our existing servers). In general, any upgrade/handicap (for a lack of better words), are game breaking. Invulnerability makes ubers useless and a handicap (say a person loses health for 5 seconds) is just annoying and injures not only the player's ability to help out (in most cases, there are some really skilled players who probably wouldn't be that affected) but also the team as a whole (one less person with full health means more medic needs for example).
Sorry if my explanation is confusing, kind of in a rush to get out to a concert. However, good idea, I think it would work otherwise on an iO server dedicated to random stuff (hide 'n seek, RTD, etc).
The only suggestion i have is maybe when you auto balance someone dont auto the guy who is dominating 7 people. i was dominating all but 4 the other day and i got autoed so ya....
I think a RtD server would be a fine idea with map vote on like ten different maps, but RtD added in on all the servers wouldn't be a good idea.
I like getting stuck somewhere where when I demo jump and hit rtd, and get no clipping...
