 		[UPDATE/PUZZLE] The Scales
Alright, thecarer is back with some "Balance". Go ahead and check it out at http://thecarer.0nyx.com . Like usual, post all your solves and thoughts here.

First thing I noticed is that the image is a gif file rather than his usual jpegs.

 		He must have just added the source, when I found the image, there was none. Looks like I'm signing up for the balance Smile.

 		I sent this e-mail to thebalanceonline:

Quote:
Greetings.

My name is Richard Moriarty. I had only recently heard of the Balance in correlation with recent events. I read the mission statement, and am interested in learning more.

What, exactly, The Balance? A non-profit organization? A religious sect? I find this ambiguous.

Also, how does The Balance intend to meet its goals? What kind of organized events and the like does it put on?

I hope these questions to be too vague. Thanks.

Crap, I just noticed my typo. I hope they aren't confused.

Dear Balance Person,

I would like to know some details before providing you with my own details.

You say you are recruiting. What work are you hoping the recruits will
undertake?

How do you use my personal details?

Do you have any plans at the moment?

I hear from #14 you are currently teaching lessons to seven sinners
against nature, though it may be god. What do you have to say about
this?

Regards,

B.


Their reply. I haven't even read it yet heh!

The Balance is all about teaching and learning. We
believe that the whole world should know how to live
in harmony, the way God intended.

The word 'recruiting' is slightly misleading, and I'm
somewhat annoyed that it's been used on our website.
Becoming a member of the balance does not require any
work, as such. It's more subscribing to a way of
life. As for your personal details, we will only use
them to keep you informed of any events, and they will
not be passed on to any third party.

So I say

Hi,

As much as I thank you for your quick reply I feel ashamed I did not
find answer to the following. Perhaps this is not for you to answer?

Regards,

B.


And #20 says...

Unfortunately, I myself do not know anything about

 		I emailed with basic info saying I wanted to join The Balance (with name, email and address) and just got this response:

Congratulations on your decision.

We are currently working on some new welcome packs.
They will be dispatched as soon as possible.

Please note that, as The Balance is based in the UK,
it may take some time for the US and Canada packs to
be
delivered.

 		my emails were:

Quote:
you appear to be in league with the carer and currently holding 7. Why?


and the second one was just a "i wish to join" and providing my details.

 		Yeah, GIRRyudo, when I first looked at the source there was just the beginning of a comment tag and nothing else.

Anyway, I sent them a 'little lost lamb strayed from the fold' type email . .

. . and also my home address.

So, um, yeah. If I suddenly go missing and my mum starts up a website asking if anyone's seen me, help her out, ok?

This may be one of The Balance's more secret operations. I don't know: I am fairly low down the leadership ranks.
