SPOILER ALERT!!!!

Recall late in the 1897 plot where Barnabas is staked by Charity, and several episodes later Barnabas reappears claiming to be a different person from the vampire who was destroyed. Later on we find out that, in fact, he is the original Barnabas, and the one who was staked was a twin of Barnabas summoned by Angelique. The problem crops up when:

Quentin(Petofi) brings in Charity and asks her whether the "new" Barnabas is actually the same person who originally showed up at Collinwood several months before. For some reason, Charity says "I've never see this man before". This implies one of two things: the Barnabas who Charity met in the first place was the twin, meaning that the twin had actually been around for quite a while ... Where was the real Barnabas all that time??? The other possibility is that the "new" Barnabas is not the original Barnabas, and the original Barnabas is actually dead ... Of course, I'm assuming that Charity's psychic powers are infallable (which we are basically lead to believe).

Any thought on this apparent problem?

I was reading some of the Karma FAQ threads a moment ago but I still can't figure out whether you're supposed to like getting "+"'s or "-"'s. In the world of DS it is unclear whether being cursed is better than cured, lol... Also I see that many of the senior posters have far more - than +... Little help?
