- PernMUSH was set in 10th pass before ATWOP was ever published; SouCon MUSH
- was set concurrent with PernMUSH (NorthCon). When All the Weyrs came out,
- there was a decision to basically ignore the end of Renegades and entire
- storyline of ATWOP -- since following it would totally destroy the world
- that had been set up on the MUSH, which strictly followed the pre-Aivas
- Pern of the earlier novels. ATWOP is deemed a valid source, though, for
- non-Aivas events/information, such as the holder conclave.
-
- I believe that this practice is followed on the other 'old' MU*s which
- originally (pre-ATWOP) had set themselves post-ninth-pass, such as
- Dragonsfire (originally MicroMUS[H|E]'s "Pernth" section, if I recall).
-
- Later MU*'s, founded after the publication of ATWOP, have either (a) set
- themselves in <n>th pass, where, n < 9 (such as DragonsDawn MUSH, which
- is second pass, and a rumored 'RedStar MUSH' which might be fourth? pass)
- or (b) tried to incorporate the Aivas-introduced technology/social
- changes into their Pern (the only one of this sort which I know of fell
- victim to Joarm's loss of access a while ago, and I'm not sure if it's
- up or not presently).
