How long you think tommy remains in power?

The official wiki article states that he remained in power until at least 1992, but that's only because he sent his lawyer, Ken Rosenberg, to Fort Carson, San Andreas to fight his drug addiction. Tommy could have easily replaced him, right? Just because he doesn't answer his calls doesn't mean he lost his power in Vice City.

 

In my personal opinion, at some point between the events of Liberty City Stories and GTA 3, let's say late 1999, the VCPD gather enough evidence to put Tommy the kingpin away. But knowing Tommy's attitude, he'd rather die fighting than get arrested.

 

After Tommy seemingly kills half the f***ing police force in the raid on his Starfish Island estate, he runs to the rooftop to take his helicopter to the airport where he plans to board his private jet. Let's say he plans to hide out in Carcer City as its nearby Liberty City. I don't think he'd go to San Andreas because, you know, he sent Ken there.

 

Anyways, Ken pops out of a corner and shoots Tommy, cursing his name and because he's kind of obsessed and his paranoia knows no bounds. Ironically, the police find Ken shortly after and arrest him. They deem him mentally unstable and decide to throw him into a mental asylum.

 

What do you think?

IMO, he took control of Vice City, and before LCS, Toni killed a made man right? Well I think the made man was Tommy Vercetti. In addition to this, can a leader be a made man too? Because Tommy is the leader of his own gang.

Why would Toni go to hiding FROM LIBERTY CITY if he killed a made man in VICE CITY? Explain it to me. Besides, Tommy isn't a made man because his gang isn't Mafia.

What do you think?

IMHO, no. Ken is too much of a wuss. I can't see him ever touching a gun, let alone kill someone like Tommy. The way I see it, Tommy probably remained in control and ran his gang successfully till he'd grow old like Salvatore. Then he'd retire, get succeeded by his son/right hand man and live the rest of his life in peace, away from the crime, occasionally spending some time with his grandchildren.

 

@ killer24 :

Tommy was already a leader of a huge and powerful gang in VC. Why would he want to become a made man of some other gang and work under someone, whose gang definitely didn't seem to be as powerful as Tommy's own, seeing how the Leones were still battling for control with the Forrellis and the Sindaccos.

I guess you're right.

 

But you have to admit, just the thought of Ken killing or wounding Tommy after all they've been through, I don't think anyone would see it coming.

It's my own opinion.

And how, may I ask, do you support that opinion? There must be some logic behind it, right? Had it been said that Toni had killed some associate of the Leones, it could've been possible to be Tommy. But if a guy becomes a made man then even though he'd have a high position, he'd still have to take orders from the gang's leader. So whats the logic behind a man, who is a leader of a strong and powerful gang (whose influence stretches over almost the entire VC), wanting to work for a man, who is the leader of another, comparatively weaker gang (that wouldn't even have full control of Portland)?

Also, like MyDog said, if Toni had killed a guy in VC, why would he run away from LC and hide somewhere else, when he could just hide in LC. He'd be far away from the scene of the crime and he'd remain at home. If you've formed your opinion on a subjective note, then fine. I won't argue. Otherwise, I can't see how that makes sense.

Never mind this post.

Never mind your earlier post. Dark side's right.
