Pirate Master

Pirate Master is the twenty-first season of the RSF Franchise, and is based off of the American CBS competitive reality television series Pirate Master. It is also the first season of Generation 2. The season followed A Coach's Game.

17 contestants did battle in weekly changing crews in order to win money hidden in different compartments of the Chest of Zanzibar. This money would play a huge role in the game in that it was used to purchase the Royal Pardon which could save them from elimination, in a later challenge at which temptations and secret powers were eligible to be purchased as well as to purchase an advantage in the Final Challenge.

By winning expeditions you would earn the right to potentially be Captain of the ship, who in the early stages chose officers who would be guaranteed to be on their crew in the next Expedition to defend their captainship. The Captain marked 3 Pirates with the Black Spot and put them at risk for elimination. All pirates minus the captain, officers and those with a black spot would then vote at Pirate's Court. They would vote for 1 of the 3 pirates to cut adrift and eliminate from the competition. But, there was another option. If ALL PLAYERS voting chose to mutiny against their captain and mutiny they may but for a mutiny to occur, the decision must be unanimous.

When pirates were cut adrift, if they finished the exit survey, they joined the Ghost Crew to continue competing in expeditions to derail the plans of the other pirates. This occurred up until Round 10.

When 4 Pirates remained, all pirates returned to cut one more pirate adrift and fall short of the Final Challenge.

In the end, nbkiller defeated michael222 and Warthhogs in the Final Expedition to earn the title of RSF Champion.
