Sandbox Big Brother 9 is the Ninth season of the Sandbox Big Brother series. It is an Online Reality Game played over Discord with the majority of the players being from the Epicmafia Sandbox Lobby.

This season will feature a cast of all Newbies to the season.

## Theme

*Seagulls caw madly as they fly above you. The wind whips sand against your cheeks, leaving tiny, stinging cuts.*

*You lick your lips, once again reminded of your parched skin, flaking in the heat.*

*You peer towards the sky, shielding your eyes with your hands as you try to estimate the time. The sun blares down at you and you are shocked to find that it is only morning. A small whimper escapes your dry throat as you move to find safety in the shade of a nearby tree.*

*Days pass as you move around the small space. The sand which you once saw as beautiful now blisters your feet unbearably in the heat. The ocean which once promised opportunity now suffocates you as you strive to see past it in any direction. You glance at the mast of your ship, semi submerged in the water nearby. Tears threaten your eyes as you lay back down, unwilling to consider the catastrophe that left you here, desperate to forget.*

*Chains banging against the wooden masts as the sails flap in the wind. You hear the shouts of the crew in the distance as you bury your head further into your arms, trying to end this dream and wake yourself up.*

“Ahoy!”

*A sudden, sharp pain against your neck makes your eyes fly open as you stay desperately still out of pure instinct. You peer upwards and see a shadow above you, blocking the sun above you. Your eyes run from the top of his bedraggled head, his frizzy hair poking out from underneath a tattered black hat. Scars marring his face and a thick beard covering his chin and travelling down beyond his neck. You see his arm, extended, holding the hilt of a cutlass. You vaguely wonder why this person is holding such an outdated weapon, but the dribble of moisture you feel seeping from where the end of that weapon is currently piercing your neck is a sign to stay quiet.*

“Ye maroon on this here island??”

*Your parched throat seems to block your voice as you try to answer him, and it takes you several tries. You retell the story of your shipwreck and explain your story.*

“I would’n normally do summin like this, but me last landlubbers tried to run a rig and walked the plank last week. We need more hands on deck. Is the pirate life for you?”

*You look past the man, and see his ship in the distance, the flag above it flapping madly above the pitch black sails. It doesn’t take you much time to decide between the misery of this deserted island and the chaotic ship you see in the distance.*

“Aye, aye.”

*The man lowers his cutlass and replaces it with an outstretched arm as he helps you to your feet. For the first time, you notice his height, towering above you.*

“Me name’s Agus, but most people just call me Sir. You’ll be a swab on me ship so don’t be gettin’ any ideas. You’ll do as ye told and you’ll do it shipshape. Only the best of the best will become full pirates. What ye waitin’ for? Weigh anchor!”

## Twists

* **Coins**: All players begin the game with 3 coins. During the eviction voting period each week, you will have a number of options before you. You may only choose one option and cannot choose the same option in consecutive weeks:
	+ Option 1: Protect your gold pieces from your crewmates.Doing this means that your pieces remain safe in the event that any other person attempts to take them.
	+ Option 2: You may pillage someone else’s gold pieces. If you attempt to pillage gold pieces from another player and the gold pieces are unprotected, you will gain half of their gold pieces rounded down. If more than one person pillages the same person, you will need to fight one another for the gold. You will do this by participating in a gambling contest. The winner of the contest will win the gold.
	+ Option 3: Take gold pieces from the dead. When a player walks the plank, their gold pieces will be placed in the centre of The Devils Corsair so that the whole crew can benefit from their untimely departure. Any player is welcome to take their share of gold pieces from the dead - the pile will be divided between the number of pirates which try to claim the gold, rounded down. This means if more people choose this option than the amount of coins the player had, nobody gets anything.
	+ Option 4: Gift gold pieces to others. You may choose to gift up to 3 pieces of gold to up to 3 different crewmates.
	+ The Big power ended up being a Diamond Power of Veto, won by Aaron. He used it to save himself and renominate 39Daleks week 9.

* **Advantages menu:** This is the menu that you can purchase from now until F9. When you purchase an advantage, it will be announced you purchased it, but it will not be announced who you used it on.
	+ **Competition Advantage:** Get a small advantage in the next challenge. You can play it on yourself or someone else. Cost: 2 coins
	+ **Competition Disadvantage**: Give someone else a small disadvantage in the next challenge. Cost: 2 coins
	+ **Vote Spy:** Will tell you someone's vote after an eviction. Cost: 5 coins.
	+ **Special Vote**: You will get a vote despite being HoH or Nominee. Cost: 7 coins.

* **Duels**: From week 2 until further notice, the final nominees are allowed to participate in a Duel. What does this mean? If both final nominees agree to it before the time of eviction, by both of them confirming in their Diary Rooms, then the vote will be CANCELLED, and the two nominees will participate in a challenge to decide who remains in the house.
	+ The only duel to happen on the season was Nicolas vs Brooke, in which the former was evicted Week 6.
