Best known for his character Vork (Real Name...Herman Holden).
He is the guild master of The Knights of Good in The Guild.
Vork is the most frugal(cheapest) man in the world
and appears to have dug my old headset out of the garbage.

Fightin words if I ever heard them.
One time ping. If you’d like to be added to the ping list let me know.
Okay, add me.
I only play boardgames and the odd PnP RPG anymore, but I used to play a lot of computer games and I did play the City Of Heros MMORPG from the late beta through the first year.
BFL.
I’m a WoW plate. Add me please.
I have since learned that I’m not the very cheapest.
A few years back, I ask a group to print out their natural gas usage from Nicor.
One stood out like a neon sign!!!
And he lives in a very nice and large old “Painted Lady”.
His winter gas bills were only slightly above my summer bills!!
The house is completely restored with max insulation.
He is a commodity trader with his computer room that adds lots of heat, adjacent to the bedroom/bath.
The rest of the house gets just enough heat so the pipes do not freeze.
He also has a house in Florida, I ask if he pumped his suitcase with heat for the trip north?
Minus ten degrees F. here this AM, you might have noticed.
My burn rate is 37,400 BTU steady and has been all night.
That works out $7.20 for 24 hours on the bill, tax included.
Oh,my!
First winter in my New Brunswick mini-home.
Quite the cold snap happening. Tonight -19C feeling like -27C
Lost water to the kitchen a few days ago. Cold and then hot went.
Hoping the poly-hose piping survives.
Got to crawl under the house and do an inspection.
Still have hot and cold water in the bathroom. It’s next to computer room.
Moved here end of March, this first year is like a shakedown cruise.
Learn the problems, adjust and correct for them in year 2.
Bit of a shock, last power bill went from 90/mth to 190/mth.
Add me, please.
When I get back to Diamond City, I’ll hack a terminal and check in.
Unsure about up in the Great White North, but here in the midwest, we let some water flow on the problem lines.
Had a house with a ‘problem’ bathroom, below 10 F. we let the hot and cold run a bit to prevent freezing.
The water was considerably less expensive than a plumber.
I had been doing that but I think force of habit got the better of me one night,
I used the sink and without thinking turned the water off before going to bed.
Live and learn
Add me to the list, looks like I belong.
