Weekly Roundup - Week Ending April 3

Hej venner! This is Karma, official European correspondent for The Daily Demba here. I want to start off on a short personal note and say Happy Anniversary to my darling wife. My previous relationship lasted seven years and to me that always felt like a very long time, but these past seven years with you have flown by. I've never known anyone to get and accept me the way you do, and I love you more than ever. We're just getting started.

💗

There has been a whirlwind of activity both on the subreddit and the Discord. I want to start off by pointing everyone to the current National League matchup.

The winner of this match will go on to face Gabriela Salles in one final confrontation. One way or another, a rematch is coming.

We've also been treated to a flood of RNG Friendlies (always great to see some lesser used celebrities getting their chance), as well as the weekend's Battlemania matchups. For those of you interested in card collecting but are not active on the Discord, you may have missed out on some news pertinent to the Title Matches. I won't completely spoil the future reveal but we have seen a sneak peek of a new design. Feel free to stop by and have a look yourself.

Speaking of the RNG Friendlies, I know Amy Lee probably doesn't have much of a chance, but I would be remiss if I didn't use this opportunity to encourage more votes for her. Full bias admitted, sorry boss.

We turn again to our intrepid overworked intern, Bobo.

> Mae g’ovannen mellyn! This is Bobo from TDD. Welcome to the second Weekly Roundup’s sports & miscellaneous column, bringing you the latest fun news from CBL! We have a shorter column this week, but here we go:
>
>
> Let’s start out with some fantasy basketball. We are in our final week! Although there are no games today, things are coming to a close soon. A close race between the top 2, and an even closer one between 3rd and 4th. Stay tuned to this column next week for the results!
>
>
> Also, a little sneak preview for readers of the Weekly Roundup: in less than a week, there’s going to be a discord-exclusive event around the NBA playoffs. I won’t reveal the event just yet, but if you’re interested in this join our discord link below!
>
>
> Now for some hockey: we have started our first week of playoffs! Congrats to dgg021, jerkedpicke, taytaystan, and TheSnickerDoodleKid for making the top 4! The playoffs will still last for a few weeks, but have no fear, this column will keep you up-to-date.
>
>
> Finally, our F1 fantasy league has been going strong. The Australian GP is this weekend, so the channel will be very active. Again, if you want to get in on some vroom vroom it’s still not too late!
>
>
> Aside from fantasy leagues, we have an avid fan base of users who love to chat about sports in general, including wrestling. So if you just wanna hang around and chat about what sports you’re interested in, even if there aren’t any channels for it, feel free to join us!
>
>
> Onto the miscellaneous activities: we have an active card-playing community here at CBL! We mainly play blackjack, and the prizes are mainly CBL oriented: tokens, gold coins, and cards. There have also been experiments with Texas Hold ‘Em poker, Monopoly, and Top Trumps, which we hope to see more of in the future.
>
>
> That concludes the sports & miscellaneous column for this week! I hope you all enjoyed this and are inspired to weigh in on these. Even if you have no interest in sports or these other activities, we have an entire discussion channel dedicated to different topics. These include film/tv, video games, music, memes, and many more! Until next time everyone.

For our final story, I want to highlight two upcoming events that may be of interest.

On Easter Sunday (April 17) Don Zsabo will be hosting an Easter Eggstravaganza pack opening. 50 Retro packs will be opened, and 12 people who predict the types of cards dropped will win prizes. It will be a blessed event, unless the master sheet decides to be slow in which case it will be utterly maddening. Contact /u/Zsabo3 for more information.

April 22 will mark one year of Penguin Nation in our little community, and absurdpenguinz will be holding a Discord only giveaway. Can I shamelessly push the Discord server any harder? Come join us for your chance to win even more prizes!

That will be all for now. Yesterday was WrestleMania and the Grammys and this reporter may have celebrated both too hard. Special kudos to the Super Friends! for giving me ideas and motivation to forge ahead like the professional I am.

New users who may be interested in card collecting, here is the place you want to start. And don't forget to join our Discord where we are happy to answer any questions you may have, and we have a steady rollout of card reveals, giveaways, games, and fun.

Until next time! 🌹
