====== v6.6.18: Clearer difficulty vote prompts ======

**Deployment record:** validated and queued for automatic empty-safe deployment on September 29, 2026. At this article's publication, v6.6.17 was still active. Check the current-version notice on [[updates:start|the release index]] before treating this change as live.

===== What changed =====
An in-progress difficulty vote now displays its count and the command to join it without the confusing map-count parenthetical:

<code>
Harder vote: 1/2 — type .harder
Easier vote: 1/2 — type .easier
</code>

The old “next 2 maps” text described how long an //unfinished vote// could stay open. It could sound as though a successful difficulty change lasted for only two maps, so it was removed from the prompt. Vote thresholds, the unfinished-vote window, and the effect of a passed vote did not change.
