Twenty questions to find the Rider Waite card. (I hereby call on our resident tech. wizard Spoonbender and ask if he might supply us with a link to above cards. Thank you SB.) Please, only questions that warrant Yes or No. Kiama's rules are in above thread should you need them. Newcomers welcome.:) Good luck. :) What Card Am I?

Jewel-ry	14 Dec 2003
Does the card have any sky in it? J :)

ros	14 Dec 2003

Star Spirit	15 Dec 2003

gloria	15 Dec 2003
Thanks for link Spoonbender, much appreciated.:) Yes to human figure No to sky Yes to animal/s No to outdoors Yes to movement No to dark imagery 14 questions left....good to see new people here.:)

Mystic Zyl	15 Dec 2003
Is there a woman on the card?

gloria	15 Dec 2003
Hi Mystic.:) Yes there is.

Mystic Zyl	15 Dec 2003
! getting some coffee and my deck.

Mystic Zyl	15 Dec 2003
Is there a man on the card?

gloria	15 Dec 2003
Difficult one to answer Mystic...but have looked it up. (Yes, I used a book!)......wanted to make sure I was giving right answer. Yes to man on card.

Mystic Zyl	15 Dec 2003
Is there a dog on the card?

spoonbender	15 Dec 2003
is there something I'm missing here? according to me, there are only 6 cards in the deck without a sky, and not one of them qualifies!

gloria	15 Dec 2003
No dog.

Jewel-ry	15 Dec 2003
I'm having the same problem Spoonbender. I thought I'd lost it for a while. My next question was gonna be 'Are you sure this card is in the deck? :joke: J :)

spoonbender	15 Dec 2003
Quote: My next question was gonna be 'Are you sure this card is in the deck? LOL. That would be a very good question :D!!

Mystic Zyl	15 Dec 2003
There are not too many indoor settings. Are there red flowers?

gloria	15 Dec 2003
Hi Spoonbender. Well I am peering very closely at card right now, and I am positive there is no sky.

Mystic Zyl	15 Dec 2003
Yes, Gloria has us lookin at the cards!

gloria	15 Dec 2003
I'm wondering if the fact I've said there is a man on card too. At first glance you would say it was a woman.(like I thought at first)

spoonbender	15 Dec 2003
Mystic and jewel-ry, how many cards can you guys find without a sky?

gloria	15 Dec 2003
I have answered your questions correctly I feel sure. No to red flowers. Are you sure this isn't some devious plan to make me lose count of questions???????

gloria	15 Dec 2003
I honestly wouldn't say this card shows a sky.

spoonbender	15 Dec 2003
huh? :confused: how many cards can you find in the deck without a sky then, Gloria?

spoonbender	15 Dec 2003
oh, I have an idea! Gloria, is there a cup on this card?

Mystic Zyl	15 Dec 2003
Oh spoonbender is running a side game....now, laughing..8.....but this is indoors with a woman and a man.

Mystic Zyl	15 Dec 2003
Geez I know you said no dark images.......but the Devil? Wondering where the animal is?

gloria	15 Dec 2003
You asked earlier about outdoor, remember I can only anser yes or no. If you were to ask me if it was indoors I'd have to answer no again. Does this make it clearer? No I didn't think so. Am beginning to wish I'd chosen a different card.

gloria	15 Dec 2003
No cup.

Mystic Zyl	15 Dec 2003
I know, I know it is the Hierophant...one of those bald headed people kneeling is an ugly nun.

gloria	15 Dec 2003
:laugh:No Mystic.

Mystic Zyl	15 Dec 2003
Is there a star on the card?

gloria	15 Dec 2003
Nope You have roughly 6-7 questions left and I think that's being generous. If you want to give in - then just say the word.:)

spoonbender	15 Dec 2003
well, I give up! I truly have NO idea!

Mystic Zyl	15 Dec 2003
Never ...............giving up...just waiting for spoonbender to solve it.

Mystic Zyl	15 Dec 2003
Is there a sword on the card?

gloria	15 Dec 2003
That's what I like to hear.

gloria	15 Dec 2003
No sword.

gloria	15 Dec 2003
I think I've solved the problem. I have just looked at cards on link, (I have been going by my own RW deck) The background colour in link is different to my card. So I'll say the background colour is blue which could very well be misconstrued for a sky. Not so on my own card. Maybe I shouldn't have asked SB to put a link in first place.

Mystic Zyl	15 Dec 2003
world

gloria	15 Dec 2003
You got it Mystic? The World it is. Would you have got it earlier if not for background colour? On my own card the colour is a kind of pea green. I do apologise to you all. Anyway over to you Mystic. (Thank goodness, I am supposed to be cooking dinner!)

Jewel-ry	15 Dec 2003
I'll bet your all wishing I hadn't asked THAT question now. I have completely no idea! I am obviously no good at this game. j :)

Mystic Zyl	15 Dec 2003
Yes I think I may have, when you answered that you had to look up if there was a man figure....think it must not be clear, like a drawing..........My world does have a blue background with clouds around the animals You know if someone would have had your deck with those colors they would have solved it early. In my deck collection I have noticed that the quality seems to vary with the printer. For instance the Aquarian deck and Morgan Greer was printed by Morgan and they did a crappy job as compared to U S Games which now print them.

gloria	15 Dec 2003
I should have stuck to good old Robin Wood. Not that I have the deck only access to link. Apologies all round. :)
