Yes.  So that's what I'm aiming to solve.

This still leaves the votes and chats separated from each other, does it not?  Will we have to do something like:

Werewolf Board 2 (06.050) Chat from incyr **
Werewolf Board 2 (06.051) Vote from incyr **

We could then smarten up the inbound message processing to drop the parens and contents and drop "Board" and replace it with the command after the parens.

I'd also have a settable option to turn off the numbering.
