notifications of x seconds not played on own turn and y seconds time left event

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. prefernce for time remaining event
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Want a way to attach a script (warning sound) to inform that have not played 
for x seconds after other player has played. Useful when your distracted, walk 
away after waiting for other user and changed window. then come back to 
computer and forget to check game. meanwhile while u were AFK opponent moved 
and you missed sound.

So can we have an event like 'x' seconds since its your turn so i can play a 
message every x seconds or first xth second?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system and
what environment?
Raptor .98u3f5 
MAC book pro

Please provide any additional information below.
if there is another way to get time running out notifications that would be 
good. i looked arond the wiki but did not find it

Thanks for the feature request.

However, I'm not entirely convinced that it would be a good idea to implement 
it. Oh, I aggree that it would be useful, but I'm afraid it may be against 
chess regulations. Normally, nobody is allowed to signal a player that the time 
is running out (in over-the-board chess)

The thing is that I would prefer that Raptor is not banned from sites because 
it offers its users unfair advantages. Your request might result in just that.

E.g. I would like to feed Raptor my favourite opening lines so that the program 
responds immediately for as long as the opponent plays known opening moves. 
However, if I were to implement such a feature, that might be considered 
cheating by other players, akin to using an opening book during a game but also 
with added advantage that I would not lose any time (personally, I tend to use 
at least one second per move, just for moving the mouse around on the screen 
for executing a move)

Perhaps someone from FICS might shed a light on this?

All right, just sent a mail to FICS to ask them if they would be fine with this 
feature or not. I will update this thread when I get a response from them.

Regards.

For now you don't. However, I get a notification mail for every change to 
any/new issue. Or is there something you wanted to mail me off this forum? (I 
did see your mail address in full, so I could send you an email so that you 
have my address)

Two things:

1) I already sent an email to that address yesterday

2) "sent" is past tense, if I'm not mistaken: I already tried to contact FICS 
but got a permanent delivery errror (so I won't try again)
