====== v6.7.4: Clearer skip vote results ======

**Rollout snapshot (October 3, 2026, 15:35 PDT):** validated and queued for all four rooms. Rooms 1 and 3 remained on v6.7.2; Rooms 2 and 4 were on v6.7.3. Each room waits until it has been empty and idle for 30 seconds. This is a dated snapshot, not a claim that every room has updated; check its current title or [[status:start|Live lobbies]].

**Follow-up at 16:08 PDT on October 3, 2026:** Rooms 1 and 3 had reached v6.7.4, and Room 4 had reached cumulative [[updates:v6_7_5|v6.7.5]]. Room 2 remained on v6.7.3. The remaining v6.7.4 targets were superseded by v6.7.5, which includes this vote-tally change; Rooms 1–3 were waiting to update safely.

===== Final tally when a vote expires =====
Expired skip votes now include the final number of distinct eligible voters and the required threshold:
<code>
Skip vote expired—3/4 votes; map kept.
</code>

If someone leaves during a vote, the tally uses the recalculated quorum. It is shown once when that vote expires, before the vote state resets. A passing vote, a map change or a soft-restart cancellation is not announced as a failed vote.

===== Voting rules are unchanged =====
  * The vote window remains **eight seconds** from opening the vote.
  * Each eligible player contributes one vote. Repeating ''.skip'' or ''.s'' does not add votes.
  * Votes from one window do not carry into the next.
  * The required votes still follow current gameplay participants; spectators and departed players cannot sustain quorum.
  * Mid-match skipping is still blocked.

The message change applies when that room reaches **v6.7.4 or later**. Rooms awaiting the update can still use the older expiry message without a tally.

===== Included safeguards and validation =====
Includes all [[updates:v6_7_3|v6.7.3 Mania conversion safeguards]], including actual converted key-count and difficulty verification and excluding incorrectly labelled 7K candidates from 4K selection.

Passed **451 offline tests**, including final tallies, repeated votes, changed quorum and a single expiry announcement, plus four-room configuration and compatibility checks. No vote threshold or timing was changed. Players are not removed to deploy the update.
