	Rules for Design of Meeting Hall (MHO) Structures
1.	Initial structures will be not more than 10 total rooms (including any garden, courtyard, or other exterior area).
	Special note about prize closets: Each building will have an Officers' Prize Closet added by the MHO guru during building. The entrance to the room is hidden, and it can only be accessed by group officers. The appearance of this room is pre-set and will not be customized.
2.	The general theme of your structure must fit appropriately into the surroundings and town. The guru of your town and the SGM of Towns and Communities will have the final word on whether your structure is appropriate to the setting.
	Groups should negotiate their location directly with the MHO guru rather than contacting town gurus directly. The MHO guru will be the central point of contact for all location questions.
	Special note for Wehnimer's Landing: Due to overcrowding, new MHO buildings will not be allowed to build inside the city limits of Wehnimer's Landing.
	Special note for Ta'Illistim: Groups based in Ta'Illistim should be aware that no buildings will be approved to be built inside the city limits unless they are for a group that is strictly elven in purpose. Additionally, group officers must be full elves and full citizens of Ta'Illistim, and membership must be restricted to those with full or partial citizenship.
3.	The base cost for the structures will be one million silvers per room. This cost includes up to 2 "touchable" items per room. (You may redistribute these, for example if you wish to have 3 in one room and only one in another.)
4.	Additional touchable items may be purchased for 250,000 silvers each. You may not have more than 5 touchable items per room (excluding food and drink).
5.	One room in your structure may be a node if you wish. The additional cost for a node is five million silvers. (Addition of a node may limit the location where your structure can be built, and will be subject to final approval by the Systems SGM.)
	Special note about enhanced or "super nodes": A group may request a super node in place of a regular node, so long as the node is either in a public room of the structure or the group has a large enough and active enough membership to support the node (as determined by the SGM of Towns and Communities). The cost for the super node is 15 million silvers.
6.	You may purchase custom food and drink. You may request custom food and drink taste messaging, but in the case where existing messaging is substantially similar to your item, the GM may use that instead The initial setup cost for these items will be 100,000 silvers per item. They will be setup in such a way to be free and unlimited to your guests. You may use your group's name in the name of an item, but you may not use a specific character's name. You may have up to about a dozen food/drink items, which can be served all in one spot, or spread out in different areas. (They must be served IN or ON something, so a touchable item will be required for them.)
7.	Custom scripts of any kind will not be available ? including scripts on items, NPCs, "mood messaging", etc. However, there are some pre-existing scripts that will be made available for a fee. A list of some of these follows. If you would like something that is not on the list, please request it in your application, and we will look into the feasibility of making it available to you. (The fees listed do not include the fee for additional touchable items ? i.e., you must either use one of your included touchable items, or you must pay the fee for the item, and then the additional fee for the script.)
	Mirror ? 500,000 silvers
	Trashcan ? 500,000 silvers
	Bench ? 500,000 silvers (You settle yourself on the <bench> for a moment's rest.)
	Cushioned seat ? 500,000 silvers (You walk over to the <cushioned seat> and with a satisfying sigh, throw yourself down upon its luxurious softness.)
	Latchable door ? 500,000 silvers (No item is required. This is a standard portal.)
	Dancefloor ? 1,000,000 silvers (No item is required ? this is a script placed on the room. The dancefloor does not include musicians.)
	Fireplace ? 1,000,000 silvers (Requires two items ? the fireplace, and a basket of sticks to burn. Note that the the fireplace cannot have a show or a long description, nor can it have anything ON it. You may wish to create a mantel as a separate touchable item if you wish to have items on the mantel. The sticks must keep the format "a/basket of/sticks" with no embellishment.)
	Fishing area ? 2,500,000 silvers (You will need to provide fishing tackle and gear. The area will be stocked with a selection of pre-existing fish ? no custom fish.)
	Working flowerbed ? 250,000 set-up fee per flower. (Requires one item ? the flowerbed or garden or whatever, but the flowers will not count as touchable items as far as room limits and fees go. Flowers are unscripted, pin-worn, 15/15/15 items.)
	Dartboard ? 1,000,000 silvers (Requires one item ? darts must be provided by players. Note that the dartboard base description must remain "a/dart/board". It cannot have a show, but may have a long description.)
