Anybody have a good photo for this post to help identify Elpajuo?

http://www.challenge-tv.com/players/pics/elp.jpg

probably a little old, heh

http://www.challenge-tv.com/hosted/venezuela/dir/
a lot of photos

I think he's behind the camera in most of those. I'm not 100% sure what he looks like also (the photo pasted above is old too).

really hope nothing bad has happened :S

noooooooooo not elpajuo

once he's back i will celebrate this with a burrito

thankyou for posting this.. i pray that he is okay..

God.

Hope he's ok, elpa for q3 2k7! :)

Blimey, hope everything is ok with him.

good luck.

omg :S

I hope someone will find him :/ gl

I truly hope that everything works out.

Erm, where is he supposed to be exactly ? What town etc ?

he is supposed to be in Marseille, working for cooller's dad game compagny (this is what I red in the forum post)..

Where is it located in Marseille ? Someone has the adress or the name of said game company maybe ?

I hope he's well. Support to his mother and family in this troublesome time.

hope this will turn out positive.. =[

lets hope...
(no i'm not gonna post a pic)

el puto :(
If he was in Paris I could have helped. Lets hope he's fine.

Yeah, elpajuo is a really nice guy, had a bunch of drinks with him and a couple other guys at last winter cpl in the spinning tower.

I really hope everything is alright.

cell phones...

What about them?

brain cells...

don't hate, have ataco:( where are you

You might want to elaborate on that, or stop joking immediately. This is really not the thread for it, as there are concerned parents reading this stuff.

i totally agree, he could be fucking murdered for all you know, its unlikely he has been and I hope fucking not either. But it is a foreign country and locals can easily exploit ppl from something they are unaware of. Its likely that hes just got caughed up with things and will contact his mum eventually, but if it gets longer then a month start worrying.

It's been over 5 weeks now hasn't it ?

shame on fucking you

no words..
:sadface:

Hostel

Idiot

I hope he is ok.

I still remember how the CPMA team banned rj scripts because of him.

we had a similar incident with aim from sweden at the start of the year and it was months before he turned up.

hope your okay elpajuo

Damn French!

I hope that he is OK and he found a pretty French girl friend. Does too many fiesta and simply forgets to give news to his family...

=[[[[

why do i get a hunch this is a worried mother overreacting, no offense meant :)

Because the worried mother also includes numerous worried friends reading this post right now.

obviously you never been on a sporadic hike :)

for a month in france? :\

fuck me, this thread really shows who the locktards are...

..and the carebears, so becuz you never been on a sudden hike with people you hardly knew, u call me locktard huh? i guess ur just being a fat nerdy carebear that whines about ppl with a sense for adventure, you need to get out more, if you call me a locktard for saying that, or maybe you're just a 14 year old WoWnerd and still need to get a clue

ps: if you didn't get the picture, which i automatically assume you didn't, cuz closeminded is your middlename, i've had somewhat the same problem when i hiked my way to spain for 3 weeks, all it was, was an overreaction full of love, now i'm not saying this is the same case, BUT LET ME AT LEAST FSCKIN SUGGEST THIS SCENARIO, OKILIDOKILI FLANDERS?

hrhr raged i really should get into hiking.


yes m8 on second thought, hes only hiking duno why anyones really bothered at all, just a hike.

wow ur post is perfect on so many levels. hahaa

u win the internet discussion!!!

suggesting one possible case scenario is bound to bring idiots who will see it as the only cause

go take a hike faggot.


hahaah

develop some brains and go out in the daylight to get a tan, you're a loser 4 life, join the club of ignored idiots

so much hate.

hahaa

Hope nothing bad happened to him :( Pray for him

sad to hear these news.... really great hispanic player :(

gl i hope this is not a real problem, but
he is only having some fun and forgot to
phone

no esr in 2 weeks? thats weird

thanks manic for making this major.
well there is still no news about him....
with the help of his mom i read the header of the emails elp sent...

this was the header:

i made a whois of the originating ip and the location it returned was Location: France [City: Sevres, Ile-De-France] ( http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/whois.ch?ip=62.212.123.58 ).... is this correct? please if someone knows how to trace better an email ... we would really appreciate it
i dont know if he is at sevres now... could anyone from france give a list of schools there?

thanks, paul.

Looks like you're on the right track. I did a trace route on the X-Originating-IP address and it points back to a DSL ISP in France called Nerim. (http://www.nerim.net/)

Serm if you want me to add anything to this post either iM me or reply to one of my posts.

im sure theres a service for each country, ring the french police, if anybody can find him quick the police can, thats if he is alright. They'll track his visa or whatever passport etc or bookings in and out of hostels or whatever.

normal police can't do that i don't think?

and it costs money as far as I know, did for a freind of mine anyway

yer suppose your right if your m8s had 1st end use, but its sickening when we all pay taxes, should cover all types of problems, including finding missing ppl.

aye i can't remember how he paid pretty sure it was interpol and then an american agency, anyway them found him within a day

Any one knows where he was supposed to have his scolarship ? Would be the first place to look for him or ask for infos

there something like facebook in france? or he have a myspace? as much as i hate both of those things it might actually help out

facebook ftw,
I dont think many schools outside the US actually use it though ;/

Actually its quiet popular in Canada, and it's spreading through Europe as well.

yer they do, I was in newquay this student uni holiday, and some guys from other uk unis told me about face book, so ppl in uk use it too.

really?!?! nice!

What is the name of the school? and the name/address of the company?

i think cooller could really help with one post, saying his dads companies name and phone number etc, i hope he has done this, as it would truly help alot i bet

erm, i presumed that was a load of BS, about elp working for cooller's father.

nah, his uncle said so

:((( GL ELPA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope U are still with us !

I'm not from this region of France, but will be careful if I heard something about him... :s

shit.. i hope he's alright.

:( ELP, hope you are safe and sound.

Cooller, come help!

You ear "Marseillais" yapping all the time but when you finally need one they are no where to be found.

could have been worse if he had been in Paris...

all jackasses :)

?!?!

:( hope he'll b ok

Let's hope he is ok. He is a great quake player.
:(

Yes, we should contact every person possibile to find this person because he is a great Quake player.

Some people on these boards need to get a grip on reality

Has anyone tried to talk to cooller on IRC or something like that ?

Would be one way to go and directly talk to him or his clan. Maybe they coul dhelp out in this situation.

Maybe he is just hiding and training with aAa in a secret seat ;)

I'm sure he's okey. Don't worry guys!

=S

I am frightened.

really hope he turns up!

I really hope he will turn up.. =(

i hope he is allright.. :(

no news yet?

#60 i got cooler's Celphone .. elpa uncle talk wiht him .. and cooler's dont know anything about him ...


Nociva...

Nice to see so many in the gaming community come together and help. We will keep him and his family in our prays.

is this forreal =D

No, you donkey, elpajuo doesn't really exist, all the concerned gamers here are just pretending elpajuo existed, his parent's concerned emails are fake, and this thread is only majored in an attempt to entertain your stupid ass...

What do you think? :/

:(, hope he will turn up fine.

The amount of useful infomation in this thread is almost zero, people do not just sod off to another country especially to a job and know nothing about where they're going.

1) What is the company's name.
1.1) Who is this Russian Gamer? Is it Cooller, if not who?
1.2) How did he come across this guy? what kind of correspondence does he have with them? I would guess e-mails? Letters? Contracts?
1.3) Does France require a work permit? (i assume so) if so has one been filed under his name?

2) What is the school's name.
2.1) It's in Marseille, there can't be that many there?
2.2) See above for correspondence

3) Where was he staying last time he was contacted.
3.1) The logical place to look? one would assume that he had somewhere lined up?

I seriously do struggle to believe this whole thing, that it has to resort to some website to try and find some gamer in France. Unless these questions above are answered it's pointless asking for help from anyone.

Agreed.

But if it's some kind of joke, it's a really, really bad one :/

If this was a joke, it just would go to show how fucked up people really are, very sad.

edit: misread ur post, sry :/

No you're an idiot, he is saying if it were a joke then it would show how the people making the joke are fucked up. Learn to read before you go off insulting people.

I kinda agree with you...

I mean...wow...did they send the kid in a school in France without even having the name of the school to send them a phone call ?

They must know where he sleeps, cant they get the police from both country (Venezuela (?) and France) to work together and ask the french one to go check where he lives ?

If all that has been done and has failed to give results then there are more useful ways to find him than asking on some random gaming forum...

This whole story looks like "middle age"-like investigation to me tbh

All this information should be already known to his mother, so what use it is to some joe ordinary like us on the forums. Let's stay realistic, we don't need this information at all, the police does. All we can do is hope that he's alright and not pretend that you can find him sooner as the police.

I'm not pretending i can, i'm saying that if anyone wants help from a website then those people need information. This isn't news, it's a 'plee' for assistance. Please read the post more objectivly before you start spouting your bs.

Yes, yes, posting mugshots on gaming sites in the new trend I guess. Now I question myself if you're dumb or just pretending. The info you request is of no use to anyone here.

I never said it was, i was citing examples of what kind of info the family would need and should have access to.

Quite honestly his familly (including his mother) should already have this information. Or do you remember a time, when your mother didn't know what school/university you are attending, what company do you work for, where you live atm, etc.

If not I would question the careness of his familly (once again including his mother) not us.

The amount of useful infomation in this thread is almost zero, people do not just sod off to another country especially to a job and know nothing about where they're going.

Thanks for proving you didn't read my post.

serm, elp's uncle
this thread needs a school name, which part of marseille, what the company was called, ANY info related to elp's dissapearence.
It would make it easier for the people who are in france and close to marseille I guess.

Well there are two points of contact, this school, and this company he was also supposed to working for. If both of those know nothing, and haven't seen him, well I would of thought it's fairly obvious to ring the police or at least the embassy.

Just seems rather odd they go through every gaming sight posting news like this, but as yet his whole family don't know the schools name, where it is, who he is staying with, what this company is called.. nothing.

Very strange imo.

Still no news about him then?

I don't know Elpajuo, but I hope he's alright and his family hears from him soon.

Maybe someone should first check out if the whole scholarship thing is true. He wouldn't be the first to get conned this way, nor to then dissapear from his family out of shame.

Now, maybe this is completely besides the truth, but there isn't really any way anyone can help with the amount of information in this topic. As someone else already said, the information is so scarce it all comes around as unbelievable. And if the family really doesn't know anything besides this, they should seriously consider the credibility of his story.

Fromaaaaage ownage.

why would any1 go to france to study rofl

well USA needed three or four years to discover that the French were right regarding war in Irak... need I say more ?

no and please don't

yeah everyone should just go to the US too study, the home of stupid =)

no h8 <3

[-]

lol

thats why we provide the top leading research and academic universities in the world and develop most of the technology your using right now (say a computer?). If you want to call us stupid then becoming omish, because that would be your life if it wasn't for the united states, so how about a thank you and be on your way

Yes such wonders as the nuclear bomb, oh how that made the world a better place. And your fine ivy league institutions bring out fine graduates such as George Bush Jr.

Oh, it&#8217;s always America&#8217;s fault? And &#8230; now &#8230; we&#8217;re off! Leaving the world and reality behind us. Ladies and gentlemen, we are now floating in Fantasy-land.

Sincerely, I'm very grateful to the US. If not for them, I would either be in a coal mine up north of Sweden, mining for the Third Reich. Or, I would have been sent to Siberia many years ago. It&#8217;s a shame most Europeans fail to see this.

Thank you, United States of America!

P.S. Good thing it was the Allies who first reached nuclear capacity, and not the Axis &#8230; wouldn&#8217;t you agree gk_nz? It&#8217;s so funny how most critics just criticize, then don&#8217;t think about the options. It&#8217;s like criticizing a hero rescuing a woman being raped for harming the rapist. It really says a lot about you &#8230; living in Fantasy-land ;).

/Dave
Sweden

maybe he went to study arrogance and bad breath?
hope he's ok etc

[-]

hehe

Cmon dawg, stop fucking around
LeXeR.

has he been found yet?

Has anyone contacted the french police to see if there's anything that can be done or has there been any new word???

Any news ? =(

elp cmon!

still nothing? post shud be made sticky so it can be updated with new information! (obviously not on the front page, but a forum etc?)

indeed a sticky would be good, I hope he's ok

no offence but you guys really are idiots, the guy is probably out having fun and you are fretting like you are brothers, i can understand people who knew him irl but the rest of you i just lol at like i lol at vq3'ers.

sort your fkn lives out

Kind of interesting how this thread just died out after like 5 days.

Noone has posted any news, not even his "family members" who made accounts.

So....any new news about the whole case? Did they found his body? @_@>

:s

any news?

:s

Elpajuo found!

this is an email from his mom:

Alejandro llamo ayer, se que esta bien, esta en Francia, pero no tengo los detalles, me va a llamar el domingo y me dira...Gracias a Dios sabemos que esta vivo...

Gracias por estar pendiente...

in english...
Alejandro called yesterday, i know he is alrighht, he is in France, but i don't have all details, he is going to call me on sunday and tell me.... thank god we know he is alive....

thanks for all your attention

....

quake comunity is the best
if something new happends ill post it

Great! :) Thanks for the update.

nice news ffs

kewl ,glad he's ok.

\o/ another happy end

nice.
but this calls for an explanation IMO :) and maybe an updated newspost

Let's hope he at least went on a Fear & Loathing style full-on tripping off his balls adventure through the paris underground for 5 days and that's why he didn't call home.

i bet this was all staged for him to get attention

$$$ elp alive!!! :D

Again?

man...this thread is old. i wonder if he completed his studies yet?

He was playing rapha few days back. Here is his quakelive profile (unless it is a faker)

match vs rapha
