## Strategy

### Trial By Fire

Rolf started considering himself as a good guy, a hero even. Looking to ally with people similar to him. Rolf targetted the strongest players to play together with, this led him to ally with Sebastian, Soy, Josh, and eventually settling with Harry. Rolf planned to take his stronger ally to the finale and win a fair vote with them.

## Performance

### Trial By Fire

Rolf ranked 3rd. Very early on, Rolf recognized Sebastian as a strong player and targetted him for an alliance. He focused on voting inactive or unhelpful players that didn't benefit the Tribe. Later, he struck an alliance with Josh

When joint tribal arrived, Rolf was told by Josh that Açai was targetting Astinius, Caleb specifically. This was a lie, but it caused Rolf to orchestrate Astinius and Metefole against Açai in a move that he now describes as "accidental". You see Rolf was unaware Açai was Harry's biggest ally, just assuming she was one of the bunch, and could never have seen coming, the divide that this elimination was going to mean to the later game

With the Metefole Alliance and his own team's help, the vote was set. This is regarded as the biggest blindside of the season and defined the webs of alliances that formed afterward for the rest of the season.

For this portion of the game, players from the Harry alliance, like Mark and James recognized Rolf as the biggest threat and his elimination seemed inevitable.

Lucky for him, Rolf quickly recognized Harry as a strong player and asked for an alliance with him. This surprised Harry who was ready to rally his forces against Rolf but quickly recognized him as a strong ally he could get to the end with. Together, Rolf and Harry orchestrated a series of eliminations that doomed Caleb's newform web, including Rolf's old allies Soy and Sebastian. This decision saved Rolf from elimination and gave him an ultimate position of power in the game

When the Final 3 hit, Rolf planned to take Harry to the finale, Harry (Who had immunity) unfortunately decided to leave it to luck, and Rolf lost his spot in the finale to a coinflip.
