That is indeed broken. I should have time to look at it this afternoon.
Since we're on the topic..
I've been told there will be a limit to how close generators can be built to each other. This will be to prevent someone from building one just outside a town and extending protection inside the town to basically make that land useless. But I have a question...
What about building a generator on land that someone else is building on and has claimed, but has not bought and activated a generator. Or they have built one but not activated it yet. Is that legal?

Plus you still have to have 3 people to set one up, so you can't just renegade build them everywhere.
Which does bring up a thought I had. Are generators actually checking to see if you own any other towns, or can you willy-nilly just pick three names from a hat and stick them inside a generator to make your own? It seems like the process of making one should involve some input from the other two owners, kind of like an everbody-stick-your-key-in-and-twist situation. Plus what stops you from making a generator, adding two randoms, turning it on, then removing those two randoms?

Yes i want the generator to require 3 home town members (which can include the owner) before it turns on, and to do this the players do have to be on to set the town as their home. Then if the town drops bellow 3 home town members you lose protection, but i would want it to stay up for a short period after it drops to give time to find a new member (5 rl days or a week?) With regards to how many towns someone can own i would say 3 is a good number.
Well it seems 3 is the magic number, as its 3 home town members required as well. I think someone should be able to own more than one town, if there are decent arguments for only owning 2 towns id be happy to give up one of mine. Personally, regardless of my situation 3 just makes more sense to me. Also as the owner can only be the home town member of one, he/she would need an extra recruit in his/her other towns for the gen to turn on.
I dont feel that the size of the town should affect the number of home town members needed because to increase the size you must have built in most the protected area. Therefore if 3 people can build a giant town, let them, they will have enough trouble balancing gathering money to run the gen, and building. It would therefore be in their interest to recruit more players anyway but don't force them to.
