/*
    The Reserver is created to renew the reservation timer in a room
    
    HOWTO:
        -place a blue flag (preferrably two so that the timer increases) in the room you want renewed
        -Reserver's will be created when the reservation timer is below 3500

    The Reserver's memory :
        -work: the room name of the room I want to reserve
        -flag : the creeps unique identifier

    The Reserver's create function only returns true if the spawner is busy or a Reserver is made.
