Mystery Person #322

[blackairplane]

I came to play a game and there wasn't one so here goes another:
Dead guy.....everyone knows his name

[EarthFaery]

I'm in! Dead guy

Before I shuffle the king of cups is on the bottom of the deck so I think this is him, and I think he was an actor of high celebrity status, going by this card I'd say light hair and maybe a beard or mustache but I'll have to see what comes up for his looks....there is something suspicious about the way this king is holding his cup, a drinker maybe?
9 of pents: This is someone who was very secure and confident, had money, I think he lived on easy street and might have had all sorts of things at his disposal whenever he wanted.

Looks: Judgment/8 of cups
Hmmm, I think I'll stick with what I said above but gray hair and judgment makes me feel like he drew quite a crowd, almost like when he was around it was a special occasion and people would come just to see him

Personality: Tower/7 of pents
well he could be pretty explosive! Lately these games have been tricking me so I don't know, if he was an actor this could be a character he played. Anyhoo, he came off without warning and he might have had difficulty making decisions which probably made things worse, he looks unsure about something in this card.

Career: Queen of pents/knight of wands
Might have had a female partner that he traveled around with, his job was changeable, I'm not sure what to make of this really but it looks like he had someone tagging along with him, someone along for the ride but not this queen, I think it's someone or something else...riding shotgun, not so sure about the actor thing anymore, I feel like this queen was someone of special status like royalty? I really don't know it could be also that he relocated somewhere else for work or to be close with her.

Family: Ace of swords/hanged man
I don't see that he had much as far as family goes, he might not have wanted children, maybe his work stood in the way or he might have wanted them but couldn't... 3 of swords, lol a vasectomy?

Something unique: Justice/3 of wands
maybe some long standing legal issues, he was waiting for something to come through to work out in his favor.

LOL, need feedback

Not an actor. No beard or mustache and medium color hair in his youth. He was not a drinker to my knowledge, but a man holding out a cup is an apt image in a weird way. He had many things to offer. He was very secure and confident- yes! Easy street was his address at least as he aged. Lots of things at his disposal is also an apt comment.

Yes, grey hair in later life. People were interested in him, but he did not play to a standing audience in any way. He probably paid more attention to people than they to him in his younger years, but he became more famous in his old age.

I never heard he had a temper- but he was sure of himself and powerful- so I am sure no one crossed him. I think he was always pretty sure of himself and don't think he had problems deciding. The Tower is probably something else. He was a bit of a lightening rod. 7 of Pents is a great card for him.

He was close with his wife and family and involved them in his work. He travelled a lot for his work, and I think often with his sons. Royalty- Gawd no!!

No vasectomy-he had quite a few children and was close with his family. I am sure his work superseeded them from time to time, but he is generally known as a good family man.

He is a figure both loved and hated-. Lawsuits certainly figured in his work life.

[EarthFaery]

Oh my! That was ice I'll be back to the drawing board with him a little later on

[Jamil]

I had a lot of trouble with this one. My first glance at the drawn cards just looked like a grey wall. Still, eventually, using the Robin Wood:

1-2-3
4-5-6
7-8-9

1. Environment
2. Early years
3. Education
4. Accomplishments
5. Occupation
6. Social status
7. Relationships
8. Family life
9. Death

The Chariot, Ace Pentacles, 4 Swords Rx

He came from a financially comfortable family, and possibly one or more of his parents were scientists or medical professionals. The interest which later became his life interest may have been passed to him by his parents. He may well have been a very clever child, a prodigy even, roaring ahead of his contemporaries, but his studies were marred by anxiety?

9 Cups Rx, Queen Cups Rx, Ace Swords Rx

He may have also ended up in a medical or caring profession (psychology?), but may have suffered a greater than usual number of setbacks before finding his feet. Late in life, or after his death, his work may have been reassessed and found wanting, or even superseded by new ideas (or views of his unrelated to his work may have brought him into disrepute).

9 Wands, The Emperor, The Magician Rx

Maybe his relationships, in and out of his family, tended to be rigid and paternalistic, and a little combative when people wouldn't give him his way. But he did still seem to inspire loyalty. He may have died after a battle with a long illness (possibly one with a genetic component).

Could the MP be Sigmund Freud?

Just put chickie to bed and hubby isn't home yet so I have some time..... new deck Robin Wood....got it on the train. Let's see if we get along.

10 of pents * World
Yup I would think this guy was/is quite well known. He was very famous and successful at what he did. Left a legacy....kind of makes me think of Elvis. I think he was an entertainer possibly even a dancer... definitely a star. Someone who was loved.

5 of pents * 8 of cups
He struggled. He had hardships and loss of spirituality. He got hurt! He had to walk away from something that was near and dear to him but he did so out of strength and not weakness. He was an adventurer - nothing kept him down. When he got punched he got up and continued on.

6 of pents * King of Swords
He was generous and strong. He enjoyed bestowing gifts on the less fortunate and his family and friends. He got great pleasure out of doing this... he never forgot his humble beginnings.... He had a keen mind and sense of business. He was formidable!


Literal: Hanged man
Good looking guy. His hair was something else. Flashy dresser. Not a wall flower - he always stood out in the crowd. He was agile.

I know we did fred astair... even thinki we did gene kelly - could he be sammy davis jr? He was on top of the world.

OK let me read the others and see how far I got.

His family were not really upper class or even middle class. In the early days they were poorish but things got better for them. Both the MP and his parents were hard workers.The MP probably decided to run his own buisiness based on watching his parents. He was very clever, did well in school, sports, was an Eagle Scout- all around successful type of boy.

Definitely not in medicine or a caring type of profession. Some small setbacks- but mostly a life of slow steady growth that really took off when he was older. Yes, his work is polarizing- some admire it some hate it. Views of his work have brought him into disrepute- yes-VERY GOOD!

Rigid and paternalistic are pretty perfect ways to describe his life and work. He inspires great loyalty- but has plenty of enemies. I think he could be combative, but this isn't well known. He died of a type of cancer- could be genetic- don't know how long his illness was. Probably not short! Good!
Not Freud.

All very true except he was not an entertainer. Nor is he universally loved- but I think was well loved by his family. Many people hate his legacy- but he left one big time!!! Very famous, but not a star in the conventional sense. Great cards for him.

This is all quite true. He suffered a setback in his business early on but he ersevered. He was a hard and determined worker.

Some people will howl and disagree with me- but I think he himself was generous and did things for others. Definitely never forgot his humble beginnings-famous for being down to earth. IT is sometimes difficult to seperate the man from what he created.

Not a flashy dresser at all- but a somewhat flamboyant personality- enjoyed being a bit of a surprise- he didn't look like what he was. I think he was agile- he looks it. Not a dancer. Normal hair I think.

[blackairplane]

Mitts- I have to go away for the weekend until Sunday night. I will check back then! Lay down some cards and give it a try. Newbies welcome. Everyone of every age will know this guy. 20th century.
See ya Sunday night!

[blackairplane]

Checking back- but no one is here. Uh-Oh, guess this game is too boring...
