Mystery Person #267

[thorhammer]

Hi, I hope no one minds me starting an MP game :) I lurk in the others, but always come in too late!!! :( I want to play someday, though, really . . .

This is a living male, and as an extra hint, I'll tell you he's Australian.

\m/ Kat

[cheekyminx]

Is he hot? :laugh:

[thorhammer]

Errr . . . well, I don't think so, but I'll let you decide for yourself when it's solved! })

I am gonna lose this one for sure because I can not think of a single living Australian male ...or female... for that matter. I am so awful at living people. But here goes the read:
With the Vic Ro:

LOOKS: MoonRX/Knight of Wands: I would say he look a bit crooked or at best like a mischevious character. He is enthusiastic, energetic, busy. I might think he was a figure in the sporting world- a subject I am every sorrier at than living people....

CAREER: 6 Pents/ 9 Wands: I think he is older and accomplished at what he has done. I still feel that he is involved in sports or something competitive. He is also perhaps involved in philanthropy or charity. In either case he has been there and done that and knows all the pitfalls.

PERSONALITY:Empress/ Hanged Man: There is an importnat woman perhaps his mother, and he may be in some way unable to cut the apron strings with her or he is involved in a business or life that she planned for him. There is a hint of some sort of selflessness with the Hanged Man and 6 coins, but also a possible lunacy or mental illness with the Hnaged Man and the MoonRX. I don't know.

SOMETHING SPECIAL: 6 Cups. Still a notion of a reversion to childhood. Perhaps this has something to do with the mother figure, perhaps he has never grown up despite his many experiences.

No idea.
Thanks for the game!!! Please join us and play sometime.

You know- suddenly I have thought of someone. Rupert Murdoch? I don't know if he is still actually Australian but I think so- anyway I remember reading once that his mother had to sell everything the family owned to survive and then he built the family business back up. He got a big break making a famous report on an Aboriginal guy convicted of murdering some girl and Murdochs papers were critical of this man's trial and the convict finally escaped hanging. Maybe that is him.

[franniee]

Yea! Kat! Let's see who this is:

thoth...

Looks/Personality: Prince and Princess of Cups
Well the colors are blue an lavendar and green. He is highly intuitive, dreamy, watery - he could even be a swimmer or a captain of a ship - water plays an important role in his life. Well he is from an island now isn't he? :D Lots of imagination. I think he is light colored and I do think people find him attractive. He could even be a deep sea explorer like cousteau was.... or a fisherman.... The princess has a swan over her head and is holding a big shell with a turtle in it... He is methodical and each step is measured. There is a lotus. I think he has transformed himself.... I think he has been lucky. He lets his imagination fly him away. He is charming... He has a partner! a Soulmate! It is very well known. He could be in the arts - actor or writer - he is creative!

Career: 9 of cups * Art
Lots of luck and happiness - he has put in blood sweat and tears and has come out ahead. He believes strongly in his work and is very passionate about it! Lots of mixing of things that you wouldn't ordinarily see together. It brings him pleasure and success. He loves to get consumed by it. He is a mediator of sorts... could even be a cook.... is Jaime Oliver an aussie?

Why would I know him? Tower * Ace of Wands
Well he changed something - he toppled an industry - he had a vision and he had the energy and he made the existing structure come crashing down! This is the transformation I saw before but this was huge! People were stunned by this.... he had a unique way of looking at things... he has a unique vision!

Rupert Murdoch!

Literal/Shadow: Queen of swords
Takes no prisoners! Off with their heads if they don't follow his lead. He is fearless and determined and has a very very sharp mind! Cuts thru the fog - feels he is blessed!


ETA: BA you and I had the same thought. :D

[Neely75]

Oh, an Aussie!!! I've got half a chance at getting this one! ;)

Back later with my cards if it's not already solved.

eta: Welcome to the game, Kat! :)

Hi, I hope no one minds me starting an MP game :) I lurk in the others, but always come in too late!!! :( I want to play someday, though, really . . .

This is a living male, and as an extra hint, I'll tell you he's Australian.

\m/ Kat
okay, now, I hope this has not been solved yet--as it's the first chance I've had to play this game! :) using the golden tarot-

moon rx, temperance rx, knight of cups rx
hmmm. seems to me that there was something about a romance that turned bad--sour. maybe even violent. I believe our MP was the violent one, and was not a balanced man! the knight of cups rx is riding towards him, offering him the cup of love, though it's overturned.

ace cups rx, 2 cups rx, 7 wands rx
wow! every card so far is reversed! okay, with these three, again, I feel he is known for his bad relationship. this ace of cups shows the angel in the card facing the past, (or possibly someone else) with a cup. did he stray on his s.o.? next to this ace is the 2 cups rx, which lends me to believe his marriage was disrupted through unfaithfulness. And, I think it was on his part! The 7 wands rx does show a man fighting off unknown assailants though, so perhaps the infidelity was on the part of the s.o.

4 wands, 5 wands rx, 7 coins
finally a few upright cards! I feel our MP tried to put on a happy face and make believe all was okay in his life, but the truth lies in that 5 of wands rx. challenges were there, however, he did work hard to overcome them, I think. the 7 of coins also suggests that he either did work out these disputes or that it involved a friend, not a s.o. and they worked out their differences.

As soon as I saw that this MP was Australian, I wondered if it was Mel Gibson- as he is both American and Australian (he also has Irish citizenship too), and though I do like him as an actor, I feel the Moon rx card is perfect for him! He's not well liked and yet, he is--so many like him and hate him at the same time. so he's my first guess!

[thorhammer]

I am gonna lose this one for sure because I can not think of a single living Australian male ...or female... for that matter. I am so awful at living people.Well, we'll see - he's very well-known, and a movie starring a very popular Australian actor who's made it big in the US was made of this guy's life . . . so there's a big clue!LOOKS: MoonRX/Knight of Wands: I would say he look a bit crooked or at best like a mischevious character. He is enthusiastic, energetic, busy. I might think he was a figure in the sporting world- a subject I am every sorrier at than living people....Not sport! But you're on with the looks - he does look "crooked"! Enthusiastic etc - yes, although not in the usual manner.CAREER: 6 Pents/ 9 Wands: I think he is older and accomplished at what he has done. I still feel that he is involved in sports or something competitive. He is also perhaps involved in philanthropy or charity. In either case he has been there and done that and knows all the pitfalls.Older, yes; competitive - well, you could say that, I suppose! Philanthropy and charity - you couldn't be further from the truth but you'll ROFL when you find out who it is! He has indeed "been there and done that, got the T-shirt" :D.PERSONALITY:Empress/ Hanged Man: There is an importnat woman perhaps his mother, and he may be in some way unable to cut the apron strings with her or he is involved in a business or life that she planned for him. There is a hint of some sort of selflessness with the Hanged Man and 6 coins, but also a possible lunacy or mental illness with the Hnaged Man and the MoonRX. I don't know.I don't know about a mother figure, but I'll try to find out. No selflessness. Lunacy/mental illness is definitely a possibility!SOMETHING SPECIAL: 6 Cups. Still a notion of a reversion to childhood. Perhaps this has something to do with the mother figure, perhaps he has never grown up despite his many experiences.You know, this bit about not growing up is very astute. He's got kind of a Peter Pan thing going on, refusing to conform and stuff.

Good cards, for the most part, that 9 of Wands and the Emperor esp.!

BASE - PRIESTESS
A man who likes to live his life in private, an enigma to manyEnigma, to some extent, but not at all private. But I can see that the Priestess could apply to him.LOOKS - LOVERS
Pretty attractive, bit stocky, dark hairedStocky and darkhaired, but I can't see him as being attractive, but that's just me :DPERSONALITY - KING OF SWORDS
No nonsense person, intelligent, quick decision making, good friend and adviserIt's a good card for this position, but it's more the darker side of the KoS . . . not a good friend, I wouldn't think. But I don't know him and hope he doesn't read this . . . :DCAREER - EMPEROR
A leader, traditional career, in position of power, lucrative, status important for himGreat card! Not at all traditional, but otherwise you've got it!LOVE - TEMPERANCE
All fine it seems here, a few children perhaps, married someone outside his ethnicity, religion, culture, statusNo idea at all, sorry. I'll try to find out.SOMETHING SPECIAL - THREE OF WANDS
A confident person, directs others, creative creative, loves to bring projects into fruition, bit of a show offDefinitely, although I think I'll blind-side you all with the answer!

OK, lets see how the Australian does with an Australian MP! I had an idea on this one as soon as I read that it was a living, Aussie male. Will see if the cards agree with me!

Looks: Prince of Swords, Six of Swords, Princess of Wands.
Masculine, dark hair, may have been longer at one point. Now balding. There could be something about the nose. It's large, or looks out of place. May have had facial hair. Dark eyes, serious looking. He has a stare which could intimidate. Both the Six of Swords and Princess of Wands show a young female. I feel this could be his partner. Younger than he is. She makes him feel young again, he likes the way he she looks, likes to be seen with her.

Personality: Queen of Wands, The Wheel, Death.
Fiery, dominating. Likes to be in control. Able to talk others into his way of thinking and acting. Knows that he has a hand in his own fate, and that of others. He takes action on what he believes in. Able to transform and change in order to get his own way.

Career: Ten of Swords, Four of Swords, Three of Cups.
It is his "career" that we know him for. It involves betrayal, someone being "stabbed in the back" by our MP. Someone who trusted him. The Four of Swords in the Druidcraft usually means retreat for rest. However sitting with his back against the tree with the clouds looking almost like fire in the background makes me feel like he's gone into retreat to hide.

Wont draw any more cards for now. I'm going to go with my guess. Tony Mokbel?

He has a partner! a Soulmate! It is very well known. He could be in the arts - actor or writer - he is creative!Okay. Dark-haired, as I mentioned above. About the transformation - bang on! He made lemonade out of lemons, alright! And could definitely charm the birds from the trees, by all accounts. As to creative . . . I think entrepreneurial (did I spell that right???) is closer to the mark. Career: 9 of cups * Art
Lots of luck and happiness - he has put in blood sweat and tears and has come out ahead. He believes strongly in his work and is very passionate about it! Lots of mixing of things that you wouldn't ordinarily see together. It brings him pleasure and success. He loves to get consumed by it. He is a mediator of sorts... could even be a cook.... is Jaime Oliver an aussie? Err . . . I can see how the card applies, but where to start with the interp :D?? Yes, with the mixing things that normally don't go together, but as to believing strongly in his work, well, I don't think even he could. Jaime Oliver is a Pom :D . . . I bet this guy cooks, and if you don't enjoy his food look out! :D Why would I know him? Tower * Ace of Wands
Well he changed something - he toppled an industry - he had a vision and he had the energy and he made the existing structure come crashing down! This is the transformation I saw before but this was huge! People were stunned by this.... he had a unique way of looking at things... he has a unique vision! Perfect cards!!!! He rocked people's view of wrong and right, and to this day is a much-debated member of society. His fame and the reasons for it cause us as Australians to look deeply at our social patterns and mindset as a nation.Rupert Murdoch!Nup! Literal/Shadow: Queen of swords
Takes no prisoners! Off with their heads if they don't follow his lead. He is fearless and determined and has a very very sharp mind! Cuts thru the fog You have no idea how apt this is!!!!!

Oh no, thought of someone else...

Mark "Chopper" Read?

[thorhammer]

I believe our MP was the violent one, and was not a balanced man! the knight of cups rx is riding towards him, offering him the cup of love, though it's overturned. A HUGE yes on the violent and unbalanced part!!! I'm in the process of finding out more about him, but it's proving more difficult than I thought, so I still know stuff-all about his love life, sorry. The nation "loves" him, though, and for controversial reasons.ace cups rx, 2 cups rx, 7 wands rx
wow! every card so far is reversed! okay, with these three, again, I feel he is known for his bad relationship. this ace of cups shows the angel in the card facing the past, (or possibly someone else) with a cup. did he stray on his s.o.? next to this ace is the 2 cups rx, which lends me to believe his marriage was disrupted through unfaithfulness. And, I think it was on his part! The 7 wands rx does show a man fighting off unknown assailants though, so perhaps the infidelity was on the part of the s.o. Hmm, these cards, although potentially applicable, are somewhat unnecessary. Having said that, I'm not in the slightest bit surprised to see them reversed! As I said, I still have to find out more about his love life. 4 wands, 5 wands rx, 7 coins
finally a few upright cards! I feel our MP tried to put on a happy face and make believe all was okay in his life, but the truth lies in that 5 of wands rx. challenges were there, however, he did work hard to overcome them, I think. the 7 of coins also suggests that he either did work out these disputes or that it involved a friend, not a s.o. and they worked out their differences.I think you're off base here, out in the wilderness :D when you should be focusing on your first few cards!!! As soon as I saw that this MP was Australian, I wondered if it was Mel Gibson- as he is both American and Australian (he also has Irish citizenship too), and though I do like him as an actor, I feel the Moon rx card is perfect for him! He's not well liked and yet, he is--so many like him and hate him at the same time. so he's my first guess!I see where you're coming from, but that's not him!

\m/ Kat

[Neely75]

Woo Hooo!!

No, you didn't do bad at all. My first MP was over and done with after two people put their info in! :lol:

Famous Aussies are the ones I know better! Thanks for putting one up! The hint about the movie being made of his life gave him away. I was sure it was Mokbel, only there's no movie... yet! ;)

[thorhammer]

Given the success of Underbelly, it's only a matter of time!

[Neely75]

:D

Ok... next game is on it's way!

Hope you'll join in Kat!

[blackairplane]

Ha! Never heard of this guy. What did he do? Sounds sorta evil.

[thorhammer]

Ha ha! He is! Well . . . evil might be stretching it . . . he's infamous, put it that way. He's basically a career criminal, murderer and gangster (?) who somehow managed to win the nation's heart with his "larrikin" (Gods, I hate that word) character, and sheer charm. If you have time, try and get a hold of the movie, called, simply, Chopper. It stars Eric Bana as Chopper and he is simply stunning in it. Brilliantly done.

\m/ Kat

[celticnoodle]

Ha! Never heard of this guy. What did he do? Sounds sorta evil.
I've never heard of him either, BA. Off to google him now. Congratulations on the win, Neely! Thanks for the game, Thorhammer. That's the beauty of this game---we actually learn something from it too, (besides reading tarot!) :laugh: Now, thor, I hope you can hang around and also play in a game--these games are addictive and fun!

[celticnoodle]

OMG! He is a sick individual! What a creepy guy! Glad he's in Australia and hope he stays there!

but don't you think possibly his childhood life had a lot to do with how he turned out as an adult? very sad..

[blackairplane]

Ooooooo-weee. Creepy! I think I saw that guy in our town last week. he looks like a nephew of half the residents of my town!! ha ha

[star-lover]

OMG!!! and i got some nice cards for him, i better start using reversals :D

congrats neely and thanks thor :)

[celticnoodle]

Ooooooo-weee. Creepy! I think I saw that guy in our town last week. he looks like a nephew of half the residents of my town!! ha ha:eek: if i were you-i'd sell my house and move! :laugh:

[thorhammer]

Ooooooo-weee. Creepy! I think I saw that guy in our town last week. he looks like a nephew of half the residents of my town!! ha ha
ROFLMAO!!!!

\m/ Kat

[thorhammer]

I know that this guy elicited some strong reactions from the players of the game, and I think I may have misrepresented him to an extent through nothing but a lack in my writing skills :(. I wanted to say that although he did many things wrong in his life, he "paid his debt" as it were, and while he didn't renounce his former existence and certainly "cashed in" to an extent, he also seemed to have kept on the straight and narrow in recent years.

I saw an article in the paper about him the other day:

http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,23866364-2,00.html

It might help to put a human face on him. I hope that I have the courage to make the same decision one day.
