There is a methodology to the way in which they find new challenges, and work toward overcoming them.<br /><br />The Intellectual Goblin finds the process tedious, and works at going from points A to F to M to S to Z. They skip as many steps as they can to get to the end result - the faster, the better. But whats more, this skipping of steps is easy for them - and not just a matter of being lazy<br /><br />I'll use people who hike as an analogy. Some hikers enjoy climbing a mountain not only for the view at the top, but also for the challenge of climbing the mountain. Other hikers enjoy hiking ONLY for the view at the top - and seek to get there as fast as they can, with as much efficiency / ease as possible.<br /><br />The first is the Challenge-seeking goblin. The second is the Intellectual goblin. The Challenge-seeking goblin actively seeks out those trails that are the most difficult for them and enjoy the whole process that is involved in climbing the mountain.<br /><br />The second is the Intellectual goblin. They might "out-smart" the competition by driving their car up the mountain instead (if there is a roadway for them to do so). But the Intellectual goblin is different than those that are "Lazy" in that they were smart enough to BUILD THE CAR. Not just drive it up the roadway itself.<br /><br />Do you understand the difference...?Green Gutshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00622868964837001777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3176002262924685421.post-82418491383094082702009-11-10T13:55:14.052-08:002009-11-10T13:55:14.052-08:00I very much enjoyed this series, it has been a gre...I very much enjoyed this series, it has been a great insight to me.<br /><br />I do understand that there is some similarities between this type of goblin and the challenge seeker, however there are some differences between the two.<br /><br />As you say the challenge seeker plays the auction house for the fun and the thrill of doing so. Whereas this type of goblin does not find it to be a thrill, you does it anyway as a means to an end.<br /><br />Iiene says that challenge seekers also look for patterns, however this isn't always the case. As you mentioned in the challenge seeker blog post, the thrill of the challenge for them is to compete against others where instead Iiene talks about them more competing against themselves with challenges, problems and puzzles.<br /><br />In the end both possibilities are likely however there is some distinction between the two I feel.<br /><br />As for the editor, it is part of blogger on some themes. It is a great pain, but as far as I know there is little that can be done about it. :(<br /><br />I am very much looking forward to your next series of blog posts about M&S!Sarainyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07241737043735707686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3176002262924685421.post-86699004014820217372009-11-10T11:10:13.456-08:002009-11-10T11:10:13.456-08:00I dislike this editor.

It has a hinky backspace mechanic and doesn't allow cut and paste.<br /><br />"Challenge Goblins enjoy the puzzle, Intellectual Goblins have it solved already."<br /><br />I disagree. The only good puzzles are the ones that have an integral "Heisenburg effect" in that you cannot solve the problem in one pass. The attempt at a solution modifies the puzzle's environment, thus changing the puzzle and revealing information that was not available before.<br /><br />These puzzles normally entail social mechanics, where (sans clairvoyance) people must solve or attempt to solve parts of the problem first, then observe the results.<br /><br />This is diametrically opposed to simple problems, ones that are based on set processes and can be solved in one pass. For example: If you get the Reinforced Cobalt Chestplate recipe, then buy cobalt bars and crystalized water, you can DE the chestplates and sell the mats. All the information is available ahead of time.<br /><br />Or am I missing something?Iiene of Kul Tirashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13427908681308163728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3176002262924685421.post-24922027314283535712009-11-10T09:07:30.943-08:002009-11-10T09:07:30.943-08:00ty Iene for the bugged link.

The biggest difference here is the Challenge aspect. the Intellectual Goblin takes no joy in finding new challenges to overcome - nor feels the need to. They play the auction house like a fish swims in water, or we breath oxygen. They see an item, they know what they can turn it into, and know the profit just from looking at something.<br /><br />Challenge Goblins enjoy the puzzle, Intellectual Goblins have it solved already.Green Gutshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00622868964837001777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3176002262924685421.post-43450974060940846562009-11-10T08:54:09.513-08:002009-11-10T08:54:09.513-08:00Hmm.

I'm not that rare breed.<br /><br />I'm a different kind of rare breed, a problem solver. So I would find startups that other people started, and work for them.<br /><br />As to starting up a company, having it succeed, then closing it. Noone does that. They SELL the successful company before moving on.
