    IDEA:

    (1) Devise a server-wide notification sequence that counts down the last remaining 10 seconds for Build phases.


    NOTES:

    (1) An appropriate sound effect could also be made to play after each passing second.

    (a) For this I recommend having several versions play at different times--some would be generic while others could be kind of silly.

    (i) Warning siren SFX

    (ii) "Cuckoo" SFX

    (iii) Dramatic SFX

    (iv) HL2 "checkmark click" SFX


    (2) Users should be able to disable countdown notifications + SFXs as they please.


    (3) The time display from 0:10 to 0:00 should be bolded and colorized (green/ red/ a colorblind-friendly color?).

    Good idea!

    What if the timer we have already turns the font bold and red in the last 10 seconds, and the sfx you mentioned plays.
