who from the staff at TPU gets to read reviews early?
bta, Dan,...?
At the bare minimum, the writer of said review, W1zz, and Btarunr. This is because the writer has it in there possession, W1zz has access to everything including their souls, and Btarunr is the editor.
I can't say if anyone outside this group has access as I do not have that information. For all I know all the mods have access to the reviews prior to their release.
P.S. I also know that Sneekpeet, Solaris17, and erocker lead the TPU resurrection ceremony as I was part of the committee involved. The amount of blood needed to violate the laws of physics is insane. I mean we all know that computers still require a small amount of dark magic to work, but bring several servers back online across the globe. My god have mercy on our souls and many those dead boars find peace in Nigythica. :shadedshu
