There are multiple ways to eliminate rivals, ranging from subtle to more direct methods. Players can use stealth and manipulation to damage the rival's reputation, create embarrassing situations, or frame them for misconduct. Alternatively, more extreme methods involve direct violence or even more sinister actions. The choice of method depends on the player's playstyle and the outcome they desire. It's important to be strategic and consider the consequences of each action, as getting caught can lead to a game over.
