Here is the final update before this card is presented to Lee Jaedong (during the beginning of the new season of Proleague.) I have finished adding all 200+ messages and organizing the card itself. The only thing missing is l10f's translation of the introduction (so Jaedong will understand the function of the card without me resorting to rubbish Konglish.)
LOL - I'm a leftie so all my cutting/pasting is wonky. I'm hoping Jaedong will find this 'charmingly homemade' as opposed to just 'done by a wonky handed noona.'
Time Spent working on the card: 7 hours. Cost: My sanity. Size:A3 cardboard. Number of countries participating: 33 countries. Number of Jaedong fans involved: 200+ Number of semi-naked Jaedong photos used: Not enough.
Apologies for the photos they were taken in bad lighting using a lens which is definitely not suitable. I was too tired after finishing the card to lug out the 70-200mm lens.
Final Notes:
I will hopefully have a special surprise for everyone who joined in after this card has been delivered. So please keep an eye out for the concluding part of this zerg-filled saga
you are awesome NeverGG, that you put this much effort in helping people you've never met reach out to the players they're fans off is indescribable. If it wasn't for you we'd still be stuck just watching streams from afar wondering if the players even know we exist.
Ooooo, are you gonna mail it to him or give it to him personally?..... coz i was wondering what expression he'll have..... a) EVER 2007 expression after beating stork or b) the bachus 2009 expression after beating yarnc
you don't have to go to such an extent to make something special, but we always appreciate the fact that you're doing this for us, and I'm sure Jaedong does too

I didn't even notice! Hahahahaha It's actually not something I made myself, but it was cut from his profile page in their official fanbook (a spare I got from one of the PL finals.) Poor JD - even Hwaseung can't spell his name.
@chongu - It'll be delivered in person of course I'm just waiting to find out the schedules for the first month of proleague to decide which day I can attend and sort out all the last parts of this project.
Thanks for all the messages - this will be my last card for a while unless something major happens to one of the big name players (aka. Serious injury, marriage, team change etc.) It was fun, but it was also a lot of work. Now I'm focusing on the conclusion plus the 100 messages and Canata Cafe Intro projects.

It's actually a cut out from their official fanbook (I mentioned this earlier.) which I found pretty funny because it is spelt wrong. On a side note there's still no line ups for the first week released as far as I'm aware on Fomos so I'm not sure what day he'll be receiving this card.

I'm not going on the 10th - I have a concert.
Oh I see, that'll be fun. I always imagine concerts filled with energy. Is it K-pop?

Yeah, it's the Dream Concert 2009. I'm mainly going to see SHINee, 2pm and Super Junior. Sadly my seat is very far back so there won't be any photos this time unless I pull off some dodgy stuff like last time. (I'm so tempted.) I *might* have time to go to the event, if it's confirmed as being OZ and Jaedong is on the roster, but I'm more liable to wait for about a week until their next match so I can do it without being stressed over making the concert in time.

Can you tell me if Jaedong proposes?
Oh, he'd probably just decide at that moment and plan for a later date so he could make it special.

LOL I think he might use that 'death stare' on me if I did. Also I don't know whether I'll be giving it to him before or after the event. I'm going to go by context and get there at least an hour early so I'm nicely set up in the OGN press room and can get the photos etc posted as soon as I'm finished.
