* '''2025-07-03 Note:''' As of July 2025, event ''requirements'' are no longer in existence.
* '''Event Ideas: Look [[/Event Ideas | HERE]] for ideas on events to run for your MHOs!
* '''Crier Info:'''
** Pre-existing approved criers are grandfathered in and can be used as long as they do not need updating
** New criers must take the following format:
*** A voice calls out, "<message>."
*** -OR- A soft voice whispers on the wind, "<message>."

=== MHO Calendar Process===
In order to get an item on the official calendar, each MHO must designate one person as their calendar contact using the [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfFl7ICF60uoKsJfaxzVvVtfQd8cqt2jDv4S4Fq3CnomMCutg/viewform Calendar Contact Survey]. That person will be added to a googlegroup, and members of that group can add a calendar item to a Player Staging calendar. GMs will then review it and move it onto the live calendar. Your designee should be a reasonably stable and reliable, officer-based point-of-contact that is trusted to submit appropriate calendar entries and will follow the process as laid out. If you need to change the person, you will complete a new entry in the Calendar Contact Survey, but this should be a rare occurrence (preferably less than once a year).

An MHO officer should complete the survey naming the officer who will be the calendar contact. You'll need a non-play.net email so they can be added to the googlegroup and have access to the calendar.

=== Adding Items to the Official Calendar ===
# The designated calendar person adds an item to the calendar. That's it, nothing else!
# The MHO GM will get an email, review the entry, and move it to the primary MHO calendar that feeds into the official calendar. There may be a brief delay between it moving off the staging calendar and being visible to you.
# If it is still on staging after 3-4 days, please email gs4-mho@play.net to just query the MHO GM and make sure it didn't get lost (include the date/time/event info, so she can look).
# If it is no longer on staging, but you do not see it on the primary calendar, and it has been more than 24 hours since it moved off staging, again, email gs4-mho@play.net.
# INFORMATIONAL ONLY -- the rep you assigned to the email list is the one who will do this.
# '''Calendar Link:''' The player staging calendar link is https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=l7vlema94uca7dn5adf9b7bdmo%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America%2FChicago

=== Calendar Entry Requirements ===
* Preface all titles with [MHOs]
* Do not use lich #s, but you can use the real room IDs.
* Use complete sentences, good grammar, and provide enough information in the description that players know what is going on.
* I recommend restating the date, time, and time zone of the event in the description field as well.
* You must include the name of your house and the submitting officer at the end
