[Theory] Reuniting The Families was a trap

[Lenzar]

I believe that the meeting set up in Reuniting The Families was a trap by Tenpenny. His likely intent was for CJ and Sweet to get killed during the police raid. This would explain Smoke and Ryder disappearing. Only, when CJ got Sweet out of the motel., Tenpenny likely panicked and ordered them to go back. He was then forced to adapt his strategy, leading to the events of Green Sabre and the rest of the game.

Sad to say, It is not a Theory, It is FACT. This is the First of the Two TRAPS.

 

It is also a good  Mission for doing some collections.

Do not enter the building. Everything is suspended.

Allowing the Player to enter otherwise restricted areas.

Want Stars are suspended,there is no population to interfere.

Doing the remainder of the Oysters, Photo Opportunities, Horseshoes without troubles is easy.

 

the ONLY problem is that after doing all the collections the Reuniting the Families MUST be successfully completed before you can save the Game.

No it can't be for killin sweet or cj, he coulda killed them at any time if he wanted, he needed both, sweet for threatening cj, and cj to do his dirty jobs

The trap is to eliminate or set back ALL the gangs.

Tenpenny has sid that he cared nothing for any gang, as long as none were powerful.
