I think I remember something about CJ's mum seeing a deal with Tenpenny.

As for CJ killing gangsters I'd guess they're trying to screw Tenpenny over so he wants them gone. Or to clean house so Smoke and Ryder can move in.

>Gain control of all gangs

>Cause giant calamity

>Crash society with some survivors so as all those with latent criminal tendencies kill each other

>Clean up the remaining scumbags after the fire

>Restore order with only the "good" people left.

That was my take on it all.

He's a nigger that works with glowniggers against his fellow niggers because he's a buster. So he's basically CJ with a badge.

Hang on:

Wasn't there some collectable shit in GTAV that explains exactly what happened to CJ's mum or something?

>>15794230

God I miss Terry and his JewTube videos…

>>15794166

>Or to clean house so Smoke and Ryder can move in.

Yeah, I kinda figured that was what he was doing. He was killing all the "problematic" members of all the other gangs so he could take them over from the inside. I'm not quite sure how it all adds up in some cases. Like the Russian Mafia deal is a real headscratcher. I guess he was trying to fuck over the gangs so they'd be too weak to resist?

I haven't been able to add it all up. As a kid I assumed there was a lot of information I missed or was in some subsidiary material or something, but I don't really see that. I guess some of it is meant to be ambiguous? idk

>>15794232

No, that was a completely different murdered woman and it ended with a secret mission where you chased down a serial killer. If anything, it was a nod to the "Myths" community who always try to find spooky secret shit in GTA games.

Since it's mostly based on the whole Rampart Scandal affair, it's safe to assume that he wanted to become to lead every gang by proxy using his status as a member of CRASH to ensure this. Killing CJ's mom was not intended as the main target was Sweet, this is because GSF was not getting into the drug dealing business and thus were a liabillity to Tempenny's plans, so killing their leader and ensuring CRASH-loyal Big Smoke takes Sweet's place would help consolidate Tempenny's control of LS.

However, this isn't to say that Tempenny wanted the gangs to be loyal mooks, he simply sees the situation as a means to an end, if one gang seems to be in the way of something he wants, he has them enter infighting to ensure that no coalitions against him are ever formed, one of Ryder's missions has you go to a train that has already been targeted by Tempenny to steal weapons, not because he wanted to arm all the gangs but to ensure that they kill each other in the process, further weakening them and strenghtening his control. By that token, the gangs aren't really in an alliance, they just have to comply with Tempenny in order to avoid getting raided by CRASH.

To address your final question, I don't think that Tempenny had some sort of masterfully planned strategy to ensure control of LS, I think it was just a corrupt member of a specialized task force who saw an opportunity using his position as a tool and his corruption as a resource, he just didn't account for CJ's luck for running into powerful connections and a city-wide riot that put him at a disadvantage.

>>15794247

Fair enough. That answers that question.

>>15794248

>Rampart Scandal

Oh, this is actually really interesting. The fact that it's based on something that happened in real life means the true events might fill in at least some of the blanks. We look at what was going on there and we get a better idea of what was happening behind the scenes of the storyline in the game.

>>15794294

The way he speaks comes off as sort of 2smart4u, but his actions never really hold up to that kind of planning. I never got a "radical reformist" vibe from him, instead he speaks as someone who might say "well, things are fucked up so I might as well be the one in charge of the fucking up", which is evidenced by his substance abuse and his authoritarian leadership (getting Hernandez killed and blowing off Pulaski whenever he asks any questions). He might sound like someone with a plan but he really never shows it.

>>15794230

This basically, it's just an updated Vice City with niggers.

>If he was an ally of the Ballas and Vagos, why did he have CJ kill them in several missions? Why did he break up deals between the Russian Mafia and the Ballas? Why did he tip off CJ to places where key Ballas members would be so he could kill them? Why did Smoke and CJ kill those gangsters?

Probably for trying to maintain the status quo of the gangs in the city, I mean what really fucked what he had going was CJ coming back and helping groove street to go back into being the most powerful gang in town.

>How did Tennpenny end up forming a big alliance between all the worst gangs in the city? Why did the Vagos, Russians and even Ballas all decide to work for him and Smoke despite the fact that they killed many of them?

He most likely was blackmailing all the top guys in the gangs, same way he was blackmailing you with that cop's murder and later with Sweet in prison.

>>15794230

>>15794667

How is Tenpenny a nigger when he literally does all this shit to improve society and get rid of criminals? Because he breaks a few eggs along the way?

>>15794800 (checked)

Don't forget that in the end Sweet should've stayed in prison considering all the shit Carl did for them to get a better life away from the ghetto, and all Sweet can thank him with is

>NIGGA FUCK DAT SHIT U FORGET WHERE U FROM NIGGA! GSF 4 LYF!

>>15794812

"I own casinos and have millions of dollars and a mansion and half a dozen bitches and learned how to blow shit up in a jump jet for the CIA but yeah lets throw that out to fight over a cul de sac with some fucked up nigger crackhouses"

>>15795340

Blood and soil, my dude.

>>15794800

>How is Tenpenny a nigger

He's black, played by Samuel L Jackson, and he's not at Candyland.

>>15795374

With that much money he could have just gentrified it nigger style.

He basically manipulated every gang against each other (which explains CJ's involvement) in order for none of them to get too big. All of them had one of their "leaders" under his sphere of influence, but most of the gang kept unaware of their cooperation with other gangs.

His goal was pretty much to make more money, and he was pretty damn good at that.

>>15795405

Niggers are not know for their intelligence or long-term beneficial philanthropy acts

>>15794248

>Killing CJ's mom was not intended as the main target was Sweet

Now that you mention it, didn't the whole affair begin because CJ's mom took the green Sabre for a stroll, and the other niggers thought it was Sweet and shot at it?

>>15795421

No, the green Sabre shot the house up, and CJ's mom got the hits instead if Sweet

Now that you mention it, why use a green Sabre?

Ok but someone explain to me why the fuck CJ didn't acknowledge ryder when he, tempenny and big smoke took the green sabre out of a garage, it's like he's not even there, he doesn't mention his betrayal in the king in exile mission either.

The real question is what all Big Smoke ordered at Cluckin Bell

Tenpenny was just a corrupt nigger with a badge trying to take the gangs by the reins.

>>15795496

There's speculation this was because the twist of Ryder being in on Big Smoke's betrayal was something the developers did later on in development. We know that the missions were developed mostly independent of each other and different devs worked on different cities. So it's probable that they finished the Los Santos missions first and then later came up with the idea of Ryder betraying the player and incorporated that into the San Fierro missions.

>>15795501

Someone actually did an in-depth analysis of what he ordered

>>15795576

And a fixed version (to be watched after the first)

>>15795496

Because Ryder was a sherm-head who regularly insulted CJ and endangered their lives attacking a national guard, so his betrayal felt less hurtful.

>>15796309

>attacking the national guard

To be fair, those were only weekend soldiers.

>>15798001

Well didn't he just show up on Tuesday?

>>15795501

a number 9 large, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese and a large soda.

Rest was for other passengers.

>>15795501

A large bucket of chicken, at least two chicken burgers, possibly a chicken wrap, 1 large fries, 3 medium fries and anywhere from 1-4 sodas, including one large.
