OK guys, ignore the money and let's get started.
I'm already an accomplished writer (in Romanian, but still, that counts :) ) . I was an investigative journalist, I had some jobs wit good reviews on Elance (in English). I've started my gaming experience a looong time ago, with Jumping Jack (I'm imagining the youth in your startup start google searching the damn thing). The Romanians copied the UK's ZX Spectrum (they called it H.C. Felix), hence we had your games even behind the Communist Wall. I miss those noisy tapes.
I hate MMO-s (but love Lineage 2), I hate driving, my father died in a car crash (but I'm in love with Need For Speed). I don't expect to get an immediate paycheck but I do have to get some money out of this, rather sooner than later, since I'm trying to survive in a whole new country, France. My investigations made it safer for me to write from abroad, so I left.
I have a deal. You pay for my smokes (that's like 120 euros / month) and I'll be at your full disposal. I'm currently reinventing myself as a receptionist, I went back to school at 35, taking a course, I wanna work in tourism by night, write my own stuff during the day and maybe get some sleep, if there's any time left.
I have a good feeling about this. So stop the bidding, choose me (I'm so obviously the right guy for the job) and... go!
