There's a million reasons for someone to act different though. I guess in that case though Sparkin should just be more of a null read then. There was more that I wanted to say here but I can't remember what now...I think that if his behaviour is usually random voting, sheeping and/or minimal contribution on day one, for him to suddenly be serious on day one is more concerning than positive. Changes in behaviour are indicative of changes in alignment. I think he's probably mafia trying to appear innocent and regardless of how Deus flips I'm going after him next.
Hm, another gun eh. Better be smart with it then.
