BM: Votes required higher with less players? (in General)

The number of votes were increased because of some short burst of active players once upon a time. We're nearing <200 active players a week, why is the BM required votes still so high?

Nearing>more like been below for a while.

cough

with less players we can't possibly be short enough on items to necessitate a black market ~_^

I agree with hatch. Has anyone looked in Rentals recently. It's flooded, I don't know much but that tells me that there are plenty of items out there for everyone.

On another note. Some items are nearly impossible to get through the BM. SOD for example.
