## Gameplay

Aslak orignally started the game as a faithful, playing a game somewhat in the middle. He was very quick to point things he viewed as "sus" and accused many people right away. In the 4th episode he was the key factor as to why the first traitor Anne Marie was voted out pushing for her to be voted out. Later that night he the traitors saw this and wanted to recruit him over to their side which he chose to accept.

In the start of episode 5 Aslak mentioned to everyone that he traitors tried to murderer him as a way to cover up that he was recruited over to their side. Many people believed his lies with the exception of Tarjei at the start of this. After he was recruited Aslak decided to play hard by attacking his fellow traitor Torstein as a way too be seen as more trustworthy. Torstein and Aslak agreed to this by them and Victor splitting the prize money if they won.

After Aslak was sucessfull to vote out Torstein he then proceeded to play somewhere more in the middle, by aligning himself with both the double duo alliance (Robin, Victor, Kathrine and Evelina) and at the same time keep close with those outside of this like Emilie and Lasse.

Aslak was able to stay low for the remainder of the game coming up to the final 5 where Tarjei who had been targeting Aslak was out to get him. Tajei in the final 5 refused to work with Aslak and Victor being on the side that both of them were traitors. After the challenge ended Emilie was granted the ability to see what someone's role was. She chose to see Victor's role which revealed to her that he was a traitor. Infront of the group Victor and Emilie would have a arguement about what role Victor actually was.

In the final voting ceremony Tarjei said he believed that Victor and Emilie were both traitors and that they were faking it. Aslak chose to stick with Tarjei and Evelina by voting out Emilie and Victor. The three of them then made an agreement that this was the final vote and that all of them were faithful. This made Aslak the winner of forræder Season 2.

Aslak is by many viewed as one of the best players of the show, for his amazing social game and ability to escape danger despte being viewed as a traitor early on by Tarjei.
