Exactly
I will work two or even more jobs if I have too
Because coming home to Maya at the end of a long hard day is all I need in this life
Well at least Maya and Rio can have a small respite from you. Because how you can factor in 3 jobs and still have time for anyone other than a pillow and massive amounts of coffee, so good luck finding 30 seconds to rub a quick one off lol. I've done the '3 jobs' thing personally, and I wouldn't wish that on anyone, not even you.

Even if it meant a more 'normal' thread in these here forums.
:ROFLMAO:

I'll be ok
The love between me, Maya, Josy & Riona will give me the willpower for three jobs
Their love gives me strength

Hmm, given how prickly to criticism he is, I would not be surprised if DPC included a secret flag that indicated whether or not people pirate the game.

Like, if you install the patch for Episode 10 and the flag indicates that you downloaded the game without subcribing to his Patreon, then instead of Episode 10 booting up, instead Jill appears and admonishes you for digital piracy, and then the game downloads a virus onto your computer that bricks your machine.
This is Ren'Py, not Denuvo. Everything is easily accessable and you can modify the code yourself however you want, there is no place for any "security measures" you mentioned.

It's logical so that DPC doesn't mention Priscilla in Lynette's diary when it should be so that Lynette and Priscilla know each other. Then the tension that DPC built up in EP9 would be completely ineffective because then we would have known beforehand that Priscilla and Lynette knew each other. It would simply make the story too predictable.
Priscilla is an alias and we've already seen her at least once in the game. A mystery only works when some secret is near us and we don't have enough data to figure out what it is.
This was the case for DPС with all his theories that were exposed much earlier.
So Priscilla could be anyone. From Tommy's girlfriend Tanya to Quinn herself.

But doing it how you're suggesting how DPC 'might be' telling it, doesn't have anything to do with being predictable. I think it would have more to do with being a horrible writer. DPC isn't the best writer out there, but he's not a horrible writer either. He's more of an semi-experienced enthusiastic writer. I strongly doubt even he would make such a literary 'faux pas'.

Now, I'll grant you this caveat though, it is clear that the MC still hasn't read the diary completely yet. So the answer may still lie within it's pages for Ep 10 or 11.

If we, as players, had read the name Priscilla in Lynette's diary beforehand, it would of course be predictable. Maya's scholarship application was already approved and Stephen Burke calls this Priscilla to explain why he couldn't give Maya the scholarship. Stephen Burke needs to talk.

We would then know that Lynette and Priscilla knew each other. One could then assume that this Priscilla knows the complete story of Lynette, Neil and the MC. So that Maya's approved scholarship application is in some way related to Lynette, Neil or the MC. That would have been too big of a spoiler.

I'm not that well versed in coding and python, but could DPC "mark" his releases to his patreon-subs with numbers or something and afterwards look into "pirated" versions to find who played hero for the people?

You're assuming that Priscilla is a pseudonym. In fact, we don't know. That's a difference. Priscilla can also be a middle name or a person unknown to us. Maybe we have seen it before, but it would still be unknown to us because we cannot assign the name.

We don't know whether it's a pimp, madam, lawyer, relative, etc.

The only thing we know is that Stephen Burke calls this Priscilla and he has to explain to her why he can't give Maya the scholarship. Please keep in mind that Maya's scholarship application was already approved. So it was just a formality so that Maya could get the degree. Stephen Burke had to decline. Ergo, this Priscilla is above Stephen Burke in the hierarchy, because otherwise he wouldn't have to explain it.
Priscilla could be a lawyer or she could be Quinn. But wait what if there is secret option 47 she both, Quinn is a undercover lawyer and pimp drug dealer then she would have a story instead of just being a ugly lame ass plot device

Hmm, a very important distinction that needs a mention.
Last I checked Maya had a student loan, not a scholarship.

One of those has to be repaid. The other, not so much if you pass your schooling.

yeah and?

That sheet only proves that her student loan was approved and that her first semester has been paid for. It's not because that's the first image you see from Burke fiddling in, that it's a scholarship application sheet. That's just a payment status sheet.

Dali, man! You know I love you, but now you're trying too hard m8.

i think the most logical thing to guess here is the payment for scholarship is asking (stephen ask his higher up in this case)
Royce or rusty family
Priscilla in my eyes connected to one of these family and i lean to royce because i think i saw before screen when the payment for Mona is pending or some other student but for Maya it was weird because it got the happy news fast like the payment was already there for her
so because maybe it was friend with josy who is friend with Jill or something else
maybe i'm wrong but i think we can figure this out in the game ( no need for the update to come so we knew i think)
